Open daily, the Underground Coffeehouse is a student-run, crafted coffee café in the basement of Mather Hall. It is managed by the Office of Student Activities, Involvement & Leadership (SAIL).

While its history is murky, the Underground began as and remains a student-run venture, and has been located in the basement of Mather Hall since the mid-1980s. In 1986, its hours were 8 p.m. to 12 a.m. on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Quiet and casual, the Underground has long been a space for the arts: poetry readings, live music, performances, talks, student murals, and artisanal coffee. Aligned with the College’s sustainability efforts, the Underground serves free-trade Omar coffee and composts the coffee grounds. It also offers bring-your-own-mug discounts and promotes the use of in-house, washable mugs. In addition, Staff members recycle everything they can as part of the College’s single-stream recycling program.
