Auburn Alabama’s Bars With
a Story Worth Sipping
Before it was home to two of the best bars in Auburn Alabama, this building was Wittel Hall, a women’s dormitory built in 1940 and home to generations of Auburn women. When Brian and Kim Wirth transformed it into The Collegiate Hotel in 2017, they kept the name where it belonged: behind the bar.
The Bar at Wittel honors that history in every detail from the art deco bones of the lobby to the rooftop views of Samford Hall that Auburn students have been chasing for decades. Pull up a stool. Order something worth remembering. You’re in good company.

“The bartenders were so friendly and the cocktails were exceptional. Sat at the lobby bar and then moved up to the rooftop for the sunset. Best evening in Auburn by far.”
