After months of ren­o­va­tion, the newly refur­bished Schierman’s Clubhouse and Event Center, located at 3225 Robinson Park Rd., is open for business.

Terry and Mary Schierman recently pur­chased the Slurp ‘n’ Burp Tavern, bring­ing the build­ing back into the fam­ily after nearly a decade. The Slurp ‘n’ Burp was founded by Terry’s parents, Larry and Maxine Schierman, in 1969. Larry’s father sold the place in 1997, and Slurp ‘n’ Burp Tavern passed through the hands of sev­eral local res­i­dents before it closed in 2008.

When the prop­erty went back on the mar­ket, Terry hap­pily bought it back.

They didn’t want to reopen the bar, and decided instead to turn it into a club­house and event center. Terry, who works for the city of Pullman’s oper­a­tions depart­ment, began the long process of ren­o­vat­ing the build­ing. The bar was torn out, but the smell of tobacco smoke lin­gered, so he replaced the ceil­ing and, before long, replaced almost every­thing else in the building.

The facil­ity boasts a full kitchen, and a patio and lawn area.

One of the best qual­i­ties of the event cen­ter is its loca­tion, the cou­ple said. It’s out­side the city lim­its, so groups who rent it don’t need a cater­ing per­mit to serve alco­hol there, and there are no neigh­bors nearby, so par­ties can have live music or other noisy enter­tain­ment with­out worry.

The full facil­ity is avail­able for rent for $50 an hour or $20 for the building’s smaller room. The build­ing can be rented for 12 hours for $500.
