Your Campus Bar is Back: The Return of the Bomber

A lively crowd dances at a nightclub with colorful doodles and the text "THE BOMBER IS COMING BACK," celebrating the return of the iconic Campus Bar.

The Bomber is back! This fall, the space some of you knew and loved as the Bombshelter Pub is reopening as the Bomber. Complete with a fresh new look, new features, and good vibes from the past, the Bomber will be open until the space is turned into a student lounge as outlined in our Student Lounge Plan. 

  Whether you’re looking for a spot to chill with friends, grab a bite or a drink between classes, or hit up a classic Bomber bar night, The Bomber is the place for you.  

Here’s What To Expect

  • Bar service is back! Monday to Friday, 11 AM – 5 PM. Yes, that means you can grab a pint between classes!  
  • New and nostalgic eats – our expanded menu brings back Bomber classics, incorporates SmashBites favs, and adds tasty new options.  
  • Monthly throwbacks to the legendary Bomber nights, with 1-2 bar night events every month.  
  • Your space after dark – from 5 PM onwards, it’s all yours. Clubs, societies, and services can book the Bomber for their own events.  

What’s Next?

This is just the beginning! We’ll be keeping a close eye on how the new Bomber is meeting your needs including how often it’s used, revenue generation, and of course, your satisfaction. Come by, grab some food or a drink, attend an event (or plan your own). The Bomber is back!  

Stay tuned for more announcements, events, and a new space on campus, just for you!
