Spanish term or phrase: bodega de la escuela
From an advertisement for a language school in Spain:
"Durante la pausa de 11:30-12:30 ofrecemos desayunos en la BODEGA de la escuela."
I don't think the school operates a business on the side that could be called a bodega, so would this be like what in the US would be called a lounge or break room?
