The new location of The Pit Pub makes it look like a modern sports bar, but the watering hole for students of UBC is actually housed in the new student union building on campus.
Featuring an expansive size of 6,796-square-feet, The Pit Pub features an expansive screen for taking in entertainment such as sports games and ample seating options to suit different kinds of patrons. Whether coming solo or with a large group, The Pit Pub is designed to help foster a stronger sense of school spirit amongst students.
The Pit Pub in the student union building -- called the UBC Nest -- features an enhanced audio system that enables the space to be great for nights out and on-campus social events.
