Local Scene

The community beyond the college campus provides safe and convenient entertainment options to students above and beyond the regular activities of campus life.

Block House

Block House is a casual dining/bar  serving the Olivet community and its visitors from near and far. The highlight for students is the arena-style competitive and recreational gaming space, which serves as home base for the UOlivet competitive 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.

Block House is sure to be a favorite hang-out!
