Situated within the bustling Memorial Union, Der Rathskeller is a casual eatery that blends comfort food with a vibrant atmosphere. Offering a diverse menu featuring hamburgers, salads, and gourmet sandwiches, it's a popular spot for both solo diners and family gatherings. Patrons appreciate the quick service and extensive beer and cocktail selection, especially when paired with stunning lake views. While the food quality can be hit or miss, it’s a great place to unwind, enjoy live music, and indulge in a tasty late-night bite.
Der Rathskeller offers a delightful casual dining experience with a trendy vibe and stunning views of Lake Mendota. On my recent visit, I tried the Smokehouse turkey gourmet grilled cheese - definitely not your typical grilled cheese! It was packed with turkey, bacon, avocado, and melted cheese, making it a flavor bomb. 🍔
Despite the slow service on a busy evening, the lively atmosphere, especially when there's live music, kept spirits high. Plus, the beer selection is impressive and perfect for pairing with comfort food. Just be mindful that the wait can vary... Would totally come back for those views and cool vibes! 🌅
