The Matthews Town Club
Rooted in Excellence
Our Story
Matthews Town Club is a private social club located in the heart of downtown Matthews, North Carolina. Established in 2025 yet inspired by the town’s long-standing spirit of neighborly fellowship, the Club offers a relaxed but refined setting where members gather for conversation, dining, recreation, and shared traditions.
Rooted in the character of Stumptown and guided by a commitment to hospitality, Matthews Town Club blends small-town charm with the comforts of a well-appointed private club.
Club Amenities
The grounds of Matthews Town Club are thoughtfully arranged to offer members a variety of spaces suited to both lively gathering and unhurried leisure. Each area reflects a quiet attention to hospitality, comfort, and the traditions of well-appointed club life.

At the heart of Matthews Town Club stands the Members’ Bar, the social center of the Club. The climate-controlled space is warmed during cooler months by a central fireplace, beside which intimate pub-style booth seating provides a comfortable setting for conversation, friendly card games, and relaxed fellowship. The bar maintains a well-appointed selection of refreshments, including draft beer, an extensive assortment of spirits, and instant hot and chilled spring water, along with a rotating selection of canned beverages, mixers, and juices. Non-alcoholic options are also available.
-
A favored gathering place of the membership, the Veranda offers covered open-air seating overlooking the Southern Lawn & Gardens and sits conveniently adjacent to the motor court. A service window set within the Club’s signature Dutch door connects the Veranda to the Members’ Bar, allowing refreshments to be served seamlessly outdoors. Soft string lighting overhead creates a warm evening atmosphere, while a ground-mounted retractable privacy screen, mobile planter screens, and outdoor drapery allow the entire space to be screened from street view when desired.

An intimate interior space where members may enjoy televised sporting events, quiet conversation, or an evening drink in understated comfort. Generous seating arranged around a central table invites relaxed conversation, while a modest member library provides a thoughtfully assembled collection for quieter moments.

The Solarium offers a quiet retreat for correspondence, conversation, or brief respite between gatherings. The flexible space may also accommodate mobile viewing arrangements for major sporting events.

Adjacent to the Club Kitchen, the Formal Dining Room provides a comfortable setting for shared meals and intimate gatherings among members. The room offers a relaxed yet refined atmosphere suited to seasonal dinners, celebrations, and convivial evenings around the table.

The Club Kitchen serves as the operational center of the dining program. Meals are prepared under the guidance of the Club’s Executive Chef, whose professional experience includes service in Michelin-recognized kitchens and notable dining establishments abroad.

Club ProgrammingLife at Matthews Town Club is enriched by informal gatherings, seasonal traditions, and shared occasions that bring members together in the spirit of fellowship.

Strategic Vision & Future Enhancements
Several enhancements are planned for the continued evolution of Matthews Town Club. Among them is the creation of Pecan & Pint, an informal beer garden located behind the Club Bar featuring picnic bench seating, string lighting, and an in-ground fire pit centered beneath a pecan tree wrapped in festive lights. Additional improvements include the renovation of the existing pergola into a shaded cabana retreat and the development of a casual sports-themed outdoor lounge with stadium-style seating and a mobile fire pit. The Club’s long-term vision also includes the addition of a members’ pool within the next two to three years.
Club TraditionsMembers of Matthews Town Club have long believed that good company and thoughtful hospitality form the foundation of club life. Whether gathering for croquet on the lawn, sharing conversation on the Veranda, or raising a glass at the Members’ Bar, these traditions continue to shape the rhythm of the Club.
