Watering Holes and Places to Eat

The University Center
The Center Cafeteria seats around 200 people, is often rather crowded and is open from 8.00 AM to around 4.00 PM Monday to Friday, and is closed Saturday and Sunday. The Center Cafeteria serves a wide variety of food: pasta, sandwiches, hamburgers and fries, soup, daily vegetarian specials, coffee and other beverages, muffins, ice cream and more.

Cadboro Commons Dining Room
The "Commons" is open 7days a week to students and visitors staying in residence at the university. Set up like a buffet, the Commons serves breakfast from 6.45 AM to 9.15 AM, lunch from 11.15 AM to 2.15 PM, and dinner from 4.15 PM to 7.00 PM.

The Raven's Wing
Open Monday to Friday from 8.00 AM to 2.00 PM.

The Pizzeria
Open 7 days a week from 5.00 PM to 10.00 PM, the Pizzeria is an excellent place to grab a quick bite in the evening and watch some television.

Gordon Head Complex Courtside Pub
Located just off campus, at the intersection of Gordon Head Road and McKenzie Avenue, the Gordon Head Complex Courtside Pub is a good place to go after a workout. Open Monday to Saturday from 4.30 PM to 10.30 PM.

The Student Union Building
The SUB has one cafeteria in the basement, run as a co-op by students. The cafeteria has irregular hours, especially in the summer, but when it is open it is a good place to eat. The SUB cafeteria seats around 30 people, and has a relaxed, scruffy look. The menu changes every week, but generally includes sandwiches, soup, a variety of hot meals and coffee, other beverages, muffins and cookies.

Another attraction of the SUB is Felicita's, one of two bars on campus. Felicita's opens at noon, and has a tattered look. There is a good selection of local and imported beer, liquor, and daily food specials.

The Halpern Centre For Graduate Students
The Graduate Student's building has a small Grad Lounge that offers some good off-the-grill food and a bar that serves a good selection of beer and liquor. The seating capacity is around 20, and is open Monday to Wednesday from 11.00 AM to 10.00 PM, and on Thursday and Friday from 11.00 AM to 11.00 PM.

Tim Horton's
A new arrival to the campus, Tim Horton's is located in the south end of the MacLaurin building, close to the open fields at the center of the campus referred to as the quad. The standard fare at Tim Horton's is donuts, coffee, and a sandwich and soup menu. The MacLaurin Tim Horton's seats around 30, and is very bright and cheerful although the air conditioning can be a little fierce at times. It is open from 8.00 AM to 4.00 PM.
