Coming Soon: The Block House

Block House (formerly the Lamplighter)

Currently undergoing renovations, this casual dining/bar facility serving the Olivet community and its visitors from near and far will include an arena-style competitive and recreational gaming space.

Block House will make it possible for gamers to connect worldwide. Plans to host high school, college, and casual esports competitions have been solidified. UOlivet is excited to have the Block House serve as the home of the future UOlivet esports team.

The menu pulls from globally-inspired cuisines from three continents –  the Americas, Asia and Europe –  as a reference to the continental servers that often group gamers together.
