Cuth’s Bar Staff 2021-22 that our fabulous bar team have pulled through and have been able to provide some very needed pints (or Frogs) after two years stuck inside.
This year has been an interesting one, navigating the transition out of Covid measures and a return to normal service for the first time in two years with all but two of our previous staff graduating and introducing an entirely new bar team. It hasn’t been without its difficulties, from being unable to stock green VKs in Fresher’s Week (the mainstay of Cuth’s Bar) due to supply chain issues, to numerous equipment breaking at once thanks to not having been used for two years! However, I think it’s safe to say
There have been plenty of changes around the bar this year, most notably the new floor (which definitely took some getting used to), and of course our exciting new beer selection – who’d have thought anything could stem the flow of the Frog, but Madri seems to be giving it a run for its money! It has been a great year for Cuth’s events in the bar, seeing the very successful return of the Feast of St.Cuthbert in February; showcasing excellent live music with Cuth’s Live events; and plenty of karaoke nights! Next on the agenda is Cuth’s Day, returning to 12 South Bailey for the first time since my first year. I’m so excited for the current students who have never experienced a proper Cuth’s Day to
finally see what all the fuss is about. Let’s just hope it doesn’t rain! We’re looking forward to next year, as the new building is completed down at Parson’s Field, to revitalising Brooks Bar with many more events such as our popular pub quizzes. And there are plans in motion for some exciting new renovations to the Bailey Bar… watch this space!
