'A fella's lecturer pulled him out of the bar the night before exams': New book recounts UCC bar tales

When the college started selling pieces of the floor of the bar online, people got in touch from all over the world recalling their memories of their time in the bar, which closed in 2016.

UCC's iconic Old Bar.

From meeting future husbands and wives, to drowning post-exam sorrows, UCC's iconic Old Bar was the setting for a thousand stories.

Now, five years after the taps ran dry, some of those stories are being compiled into a book, which is being put together by the head of UCC's Visitor Centre, JP Quinn.
