We have an expanded outdoor area for open-air dining and brews and a limited seating capacity indoors. We will also have our outdoor window for all carry out orders so you don’t need to queue up inside to grab your order- feel free to call ahead your food or coffee order!

Welcome to the Library Cafe and Bar! Located on the west side of the University of Wisconsin campus, we are a cozy spot that serves up freshly made lunch, dinner and snacks as well as delicious coffee, craft beer and cocktails to our guests 5 days a week.
