Don’t call it Faculty Club, says manager Dennis Scott. It’s been the University Club since 1999, but even before that the public was welcome in the comfortable rooms of this snug 1728 building, the oldest house in Amherst. “True, we’re a club, with rules, standards, and bylaws,” says Scott, “but we’re also a restaurant for meals or catered events, and we’ve done weddings with up to 150 guests.” (Membership does have its privileges, including reservations and discounts, and is open to members of the alumni association as well as to faculty and staff.)
