The Roundhouse

Whether you're looking for a couple of cheeky drinks or want to check out some big-ass acts, the Roundhouse has you covered. During O-Week and throughout semester, don't miss out on events like Oktoberfest, Foundation Day, Session Parties, band comps, gigs and comedy nights - many of which are free or discounted for Arc members.

The Roundhouse has four main areas where all the fun happens:

Unibar

This is where social life on campus really takes off. There's a huge central bar with lounges and pool tables and a daily Hppy Hour from 5-6pm. You can catch live sets almost every week - last year had everything from sultry singer songwriters and DJs to German folk music!

The Club Bar

The Club Bar is located on Level 1 of the Roundhouse and is open for all events including DJ gigs, Session Parties, club and society events and is available for hire.

The Beergarden

The Beergarden is the best place to hang out with your friends after (or in between) classes to enjoy a relaxing drink, live music or soak up some sunshine. Whether it's a massive Session Party, cool acoustic music or funky DJs, there's always something fun happening in the Beergarden.

The Bistro

We'd love to have you over for dinner at the Bistro. Get down to the Roundhouse Unibar and munch on the goods, Mon to Fri, 8am til late. Look out for daily promos, meal deals and specialty nights like pasta night, pub grub and curry night.
