The Pub Returns

Let's Dance!

The Return of the Pub will be a highlight of this year’s 50(ish) Reunion, bringing back the infamous campus hangout that defined UHart social life in the 1970s. More than just a bar, The Pub was where memories were made—live music, late-night laughs, and time well spent with friends. For one unforgettable weekend, we’ll revive the vibe with retro decor, throwback tunes, and a whole lot of nostalgia.

Let’s get social again! ‘Cause after 50 years, I’m so glad we still can!”
