About Der Rathskeller

Der Rathskeller—located in Memorial Union—is a favorite gathering place for students, staff and community members.  With a German beer hall feel and a variety of pub food classics, it’s an ideal spot to watch a band sponsored by the Wisconsin Union Directorate or a Badger game on the 15 ft screen.

A revitalized Der Rathskeller has opened! Be one of the first to try the new menu that includes classic pub food with some Deutsche accents!
