I was looking for wi-fi in the area and found two options:

(a) public library (but wi-fi sux) and not sure about hours

and

(b) Piece Out Pizzeria at 1923 W. North has free wi-fi, and might be quieter during the day rather than at night (when it's a lot more like a bar).

I can verify that Piece is quiet during the day. I've done homework there.

Sorry folks, one part of my brain included "this is going to be after library closing time" in the OP, and another part deleted it before posting.
Was looking for place in question for 9 PM-ish, and planning to head to Piece after 10 . . .
What about that kind of low-budget pizzeria a few doors west of Piece? What are the chances a place like that has wifi?

I don't know how you feel about Starbucks, but I bet they have wifi and are probably open til ten or so.

Filter just reopened next to Copenhagen Cyclery on Milwaukee. I walked past it today and didn't go in but it looked super spacious and very underpopulated. Might wanna make sure they have wifi up and running.

Also, Gallery Cafe (again I haven't been in but I hear about it often) is close but might be more crowded?

Thanks for the footwork!
Looks like they close too early though.

Amen to that. Filter was one of my favorite places in Liquor Park.
