Pyle Inn is a dining-only co-op located in the basement of Asia House. Pyle's high vaulted ceilings and long wooden tables lends a unique atmosphere to the dining space. Pyle was built to serve as a cafeteria, which makes it one of the most functional co-ops in terms of cooking and serving food (with a working dumbwaiter!).
While Pyle's kitchen is one of the largest in OSCA, today’s Pyle serves around 40-50 members in its cozy dining room. Its smaller membership size means that Pyle is often more close-knit than larger co-ops, and membership is reliable and works together closely. Everyone knows everyone, which creates many inside jokes, fun traditions, and strong institutional memory. In fact, Pyle is known for its fun traditions: legendary pizza nights, singing members their birthday song of choice, THE BOX™ (crushes? comments? conspiracies?), Iron Crew, board game and movie nights.
Pyle is home to many French House residents, circus performers, theater nerds, and other eclectic groups. Pyle occasionally cooks meat, but always has vegan and vegetarian options at each meal. Pyle is particularly accommodating for those with allergens, and goes above and beyond to be a safe space and welcoming home for all those who join.
Pyle Inn was the first OSCA co-op, originally a housing-and-dining program housed in its own building. The present-day version of Pyle re-opened in Asia House in the 90's, naming themselves "Pyle" to honor the original Pyle Inn. As contemporary Pyle occupies space in Asia House, members are mindful of the building as a safe space and work to treat it as such; with policies about the space updated every semester.
