Food and Drink
Food & Drink Outlets
As a student and on-campus regular, many of your go-to places for food and drink are operated by UCX.
Whether you need a quick sugar fix, a brain-fuelling lunch or a thirst-quenching drink, our centrally located venues will be amongst your firm favourites before you know it.
UCBarx
UCBarx is UC’s on-campus bar, located under Cooper Lodge on Telita Street. It’s the go-to spot for relaxing with mates, celebrating birthdays and milestones, or just kicking back after class or work.
With pub classics like snacks, burgers, schnitzels, and pizzas, a wide range of drinks on tap and bottled, and games to keep the good times rolling, UCBarx is where memories are made.
You can also grab daily specials Tuesday through Friday, because everyone loves a bargain!
So head on over to UCBarx and bring your friends, but if you’re bringing more than 20, please give us a heads-up and make a booking where possible.
Vegetarian and Vegan Options
We know that finding vegetarian and vegan options when eating out or on-the-go can be tricky. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!
From golden schnitties to juicy burgers, loaded nachos, chickpea salads (for those with better will power than us) and more, we’ve got plenty of plant-based alternatives to keep you as well-fed as the carnivorous!
