Those looking to get their D (or V) wet need look no farther than KAM’S, the best place to find a one-night stand in Champaign-Urbana. This Illinois institution has been serving up healthy doses of hookups along with beer in plastic cups for more than 30 years.

“KAM’S just has a great atmosphere,” said Megan Brown, a junior in communications and a bartender at KAM’S. “Everyone just acts like drunken idiots, there’s no rules. It’s just fun.”

The honor likely comes as no surprise to many Illini who see Daniel Street become mini-skirt and muscle shirt central night after night. And most students, whether they would like to admit it or not, have been to KAM’S at least once during their Illinois tenure.

“KAM’S gets a wide variety of people every night, and I think that creates more hookups. You have a bigger pool to fish out of at KAM’S,” Brown said.

But even though KAM’S has a reputation for hookups, don’t purely dismiss it as some sort of collegiate bathhouse. Brown’s roommate’s aunt and uncle met at KAM’S one night years ago and eventually got married. They named their dog Kam, after the bar where they met.

So if you’re looking for a good time, slip on some cowboy boots, slide on a condom and hit up KAM’S.
