The Shed. You’ve probably been there and if you’re a Lincolnite, you’re probably a fan.

But at the back end of last year, tragedy hit when they announced they were to close and become an office block… Dun Dun Dun!

The University of Lincoln’s Student Union came to the rescue (such heroic specimens), announcing they’d save The Shed and make it a student bar.

This brand new Shed (a.k.a The Shed Student Bar – what a mouthful) opened today.

They’ve got some shiny new beer pumps (shiny, oooh. They’re like weird round mirrors. Literally, you can check yourself out) along with lots of new beers (yay!) and free wifi that now actually works. This is of course the highlight and means you now have no excuse not to have those group meetings you’ve been putting off for oh so long.

It’s also cheaper. The SU have wangled some much better prices on the drinks. If you like Carlsberg, it’s now £2.

At the moment they’re still using those wonderful old (sometimes a bit sticky) tables that we all know and love. This will be changing soon (yay for a new wood smell)!

The menus and offers will be changed in September, but until then, the ones we know and love will keep going. This means Shed Wednesdays and Half Price Breakfast Thursdays shall live on (wahoo). You may or may not see us writing our posts in there. If you do, approach us with caution.
