A delightful place to hang out! Fantastic view, good food, and magical atmosphere.
Don't have to be a student to enjoy this area near the lake. Just a perfect atmosphere to relax and hangout
With the Terrace in the summer and Rathskeller in the winter, it's the to-go place to be on campus. Enjoy a beer on the Terrace while watching first-time folks in a kayak or sailboat.
