The Taproom · Monday to Friday, 09:00–16:00
The library is free, but it hasn't got bottomless coffee or a kitchen. Buy a Bach Pass and make the Taproom your desk for the day.
What you get
| Pass | Half day (3.5 hours) | Full day (09:00–16:00) |

*Student launch prices, until 20 December 2026 (unless we end them sooner).
Milk and other extras are charged. Other drinks, and food ordered between 12:00 and 14:30, are at normal menu prices. Student passes need valid student ID.
Food allergies or intolerances? You must tell us. Choose your allergens on every item you order on the Kiosk, or ask the team before you order. We handle all allergens in one kitchen, so we can't guarantee any dish is free from them.
A pass is for one person, on the day it's bought. Read the full Bach Pass terms.
