A supper club is a style of casual dining establishment which originally appeared in the U.S. in the 1930s and 1940s as a public dining-out experience primarily open only for the evening meal of "supper."

Typically, a supper club offers a menu of casual American food, served in a slightly formal setting. Typically, the supper club serves as both a restaurant and a night club, with the patrons expected to remain after dining for dancing, music, and other night club entertainment.

Existing supper clubs are more common in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan, although "supper clubs" can be found throughout the U.S..

However, supper clubs are not exclusive to the United States. They are becoming popular in Europe, particularly the United Kingdom.
