UChicago dining hours
The four dining halls open at 7 am on weekdays and close at 8:30 pm Monday to Thursday and 7:30 pm on Friday. On Saturday, Baker and Cathey close at 2:30 pm, so Saturday dinner is Bartlett or Woodlawn. After the halls close, Maroon Market in Bartlett and Midway Market by Cathey stay open until 1 am, every day.
Every hour here was read off that location's own page on dining.uchicago.edu on September 25, 2026. They are the hours Dining publishes for when classes are in session. This is an unofficial page, not Dining's own.
