It's happening, the ArtBar is back! The doors of the ArtBar will open again on Monday 6th of February 2023. We would like to thank all of our students who have joined our Pop-Up Bars these last few months while the ArtBar was closed. We hope you will continue to visit us at our new location and enjoy some refreshments with your friends!

What is the ArtBar?

The ArtBar is the historical bar of the RCA Students' Union, located on the second floor of the Frayling Building in Kensington Campus. It was originally designed by the students for the students. It used to be a space to grab a beer, or a coffee, and have fun.

During the 2020 global pandemic, the ArtBar temporarily closed down. But then there was a fire that caused delays and forced us to take it down completely for refurbishment and repairs. But now it is open again and more beautiful than ever!

When will it be open?

From the 6th of February 2023, the ArtBar will be open:
- Monday to Friday;
- from 5 pm to 10 pm.

What can we do there?

The ArtBar is fully licensed, meaning you can get a drink and sit with friends in a comfortable environment on the second floor of the Frayling Building. We will have Quizzes and DJs Nights. And when the evenings get warmer, we will use the Terrace too.
