Tradition plays a huge part in what makes the Petroleum Club unique and wonderful. The doors open each morning to what is called “Coffee Shop.” Friends and colleagues gather in the Charcoal Room over hot coffee and biscuits as they begin the day discussing all matters of business, politics, hunting, sports and general discourse. The dinner dance each Friday night is always well attended and has hosted top musicians through the years. Names like 1st Class Combs, Bill Roza, and Sonny Bourg have headlined in the Walnut Room to large groups of members dancing the night away. Every other Thursday is Bingo Night at the Club. For nearly sixty years families and friends have congregated to enjoy a great meal, a good laugh and maybe even a chance to win the evening’s jackpot. The Petroleum Club’s Sunday lunch buffet is another popular family event that has become a tradition for members.
