Kam's is the quintessential college bar, where vibrant energy meets a diverse clientele. Many patrons rave about the friendly staff and lively atmosphere, ideal for socializing and meeting new people. However, some reviews highlight significant issues, including age restrictions and questionable bouncer behavior. A troubling workplace environment is noted, with management allegedly pressuring staff to boost sales through aggressive tactics.

Was Casey Macejkovic at Kams a mag?
This restaurant is fantastic! The staff is friendly, always in a good mood, and the atmosphere is lively. College students bring the party to life here, especially at night. If you're looking to meet new people, this is the place to be. View all feedback.
What Amely Herman dislikes about Kams:
this is the worst bar in champaign, I don't go to school here and I was turned away more than 3 times, although I was willing to pay the ridiculous 20$ coverage to get in. which cash pays customers? especially at the end of the week. go somewhere else. View all feedback.
What an amazing place, such great staff, friendly and always a good vibe. College kids bring the party to life here almost nightly. Wanna meet new people? This is the place
Do not wear your favorite shoes because the floors in the restaurant are in terrible condition.
Awful place, I got turned away bc I am a 22 y/o veteran and not a student. The fact that this place will turn away someone who first of all is willing to pay the expensive $20 cover fee just bc they have proudly served their country is absolutely ridiculous.
Working here was genuinely terrible. “Sales” are encouraged by way of screaming and threatening bartenders to force their friends to come out and drink. Jason Reda actually said “if your friends won’t come out and drink this weekend then they’re not your friends.” PS if you still work there and they’re still making you scan your thumbprint, they’re breaking the law.
Horrible bouncers. Witnessed them harassing and kicking out multiple people for no reason. Tried making a 21 year old pay extra to get in??? Very touchy on females as well for no reason. Go to literally any other bar.
