I was on Alcuin JCRC when the bar was rebranded, and for the remaining time whilst I was still on the JCRC, the bar was at very least breaking even, and there was talk of opening the bar for a third night a week (which actually did get approved, but commercial services didn't want to commit to a full night, so they only opened from 7-9, which is obviously stupid, and no-one went).

We can assume they probably get home again once the bar closes. Other bars must just be too far away for those poor Alcuinites. Evidently he believes the bar more important than a students studies which, although possibly in line with some students dreams, is most certainly not the best way to persuade the university that the bar is worth keeping.
