King Club

The King Club was a live music club in Madison, Wisconsin famous for showcasing some of the world's most famous rhythm and blues acts.

It was one block from the Wisconsin State Capitol, at 114 King Street.

[1] The King Club featured James Brown's former drummer Clyde Stubblefield every Monday with his Madison R&B band.

[2] In 2004, a brawl involving as many as 50 people broke out at an open mic night, causing $1,800 (equivalent to $2,904 in 2023) in damage and requiring bouncers from nearby bars to assist in breaking it up.

[4] The location quickly sold to the owner of a neighboring restaurant, who converted it to a gay bar called Woof's.
