Unibar (Wollongong)
|
|
The Unibar is the slightly unimaginative name of the University of Wollongong bar. As well as providing students with food and drinks, it plays host to arguably the most professional and competitive lunchtime activity on campus, Tuesday Lunchtime Trivia.
The Unibar also boasts a high calibre of entertainment, having played host to many Australian music acts, such as Machine Gun Fellatio, Missy Higgins, Ben Lee, The Superjesus, and soloist Alex Lloyd
Recent renovations on the Unibar allowed for more floor space, as well as an increase in windows which equals a greater amount of light in the Bar itself. Consisting of a wooden floor, and a carpetted lounge, the Unibar is an area where many students are able to share lunch, talk with friends, and listen to contemporary and popular music supplied via three television sets, placed intermittently at strategic points around the bar.
A lower area to the bar holds more seating room, as well as a sizeable stage. To the far right of the bar, three pool tables are situated, each covered in felt of three different colours (from lowest to highest, blue, red and orange).
An external pavilion is also situated to the far left of the bar, consisting of a wooden verandah surrounded by lush vegetation in an open and airy atmosphere.
The central feature of the Unibar is the servery, from which food and drink (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) is supplied. The Unibar features disabled access with ramps positioned at many points around and inside the bar itself.
It's unique design has won architecture awards.
