RUCbar is a student-run café, bar, and social space at Roskilde University, founded in 2013 by students who wanted to strengthen the social environment on campus and create a place where the entire university community could come together. Today, RUCbar continues this mission by providing an inclusive and welcoming space where students and staff can meet, relax, study, and build connections across programmes, semesters, and faculties.
Located in RUC’s Student House (Building 13), RUCbar serves coffee, soft drinks, beers, and cocktails at student-friendly prices. Throughout the semester, we host some of the largest social events on campus, as well as smaller events and activities such as music bingos and themed parties that bring the RUC community together.
RUCbar is managed by a team of up to 15 students who are responsible for the day-to-day operation and administration of the café and bar. Together with the Board, the management team helps shape the direction, goals, and future development of RUCbar as both an organisation and an important social gathering place at Roskilde University.
The organisation is supported by approximately 80–100 volunteer bartenders from across all semesters and faculties, making RUCbar one of the largest volunteer communities at RUC. All students are welcome to apply to become part of the team and contribute to the social life of the university by submitting an application to join as a volunteer bartender.
Students and organisations are also welcome to approach us with ideas for events or activities in the café space. If you have an event you would like to host or an idea you think would benefit the RUC community, feel free to get in touch with us through our contact page.
