An intimate space on the lower level of the Rotunda, The Well is a pub with a curved, two-level bar. The venue can be requested for private events outside of the bar's operating hours. During the academic year, it is available Saturday–Tuesday (all day) or Wednesday–Friday (between 8am–4:30pm). During the summer and recess periods, there are no date/time restrictions.
Private events must be at least two hours long and there is a $1,500 minimum for food and beverage. Our menu is also charged on a per person basis.
