The Lyons Den is a student-run campus coffeehouse where students go to study, eat, drink and socialize. The Den hosts student events and meetings, open mic nights and live music performances and serves coffee, tea and espresso drinks, milkshakes, sandwiches and pastries. The original Lyons Den opened in 1996 in a former diner on Taunton Avenue. In 2016, the coffeehouse was relocated to the basement of Balfour-Hood Campus Center, taking over the location formerly known as The Loft.
