The Bear’s Den, affectionately known as BD among Washington University in St. Louis students, has long been a campus staple. Open late and bustling with activity, it's the go-to spot for both post-class bites and late-night cravings.

Bears den is a fine establishment with many amenities and dining options to explore. I recommend with the upmost seriousness that any student or non student indulge themselves with the opportunity to explore BD.

Barely stocked, overpriced, does not take mealpoints, unseasoned, tiny portions.
