Old Town School Bar and Café

cafe banner

Stop by the Old Town School Bar & Café, with two convenient locations across our Lincoln Square campus: one in the West building lobby outside Maurer Hall, and another on the second floor landing of the East building adjacent to Szold Hall.

Our West lobby location serves as both a daytime café and evening bar. Stop by for coffee, tea, fresh pastries, and snacks during select daytime hours, or visit either location before concerts and special events for beer, wine, craft cocktails, refreshing beverages, and light bites.

For evening performances, our bars open one hour before showtime, providing the perfect opportunity to relax and unwind before enjoying the music.
