Clark Hall Pub is a traditional hangout of engineering students at Queen's University. It is run by the Queen's Engineering Society (EngSoc), and is located in Clark Hall, above the Campus Bookstore. The old EngSoc Lounge is also in Clark Hall (with the new one being in the EngSoc offices in Beamish-Munro Hall). First opened in 1971, Clark Hall is the oldest pub on the Queen's campus. Clark Hall is named after Arthur Lewis Clark, who was Dean of Applied Science for 24 years.
Clark Hall is host to a wide variety of events, from foos league to a wide range of smokers. Most importantly, it is home to Ritual, the traditional Friday afternoon drinking of Queen's Engineers.
Clark Hall is also the home to War Child @ Queen's Keep the Beat. War Child @ Queen's, the Queen's University branch of War Child Canada, hosts a Keep the Beat concert twice a semester at Clark Hall in order to protest the use of child soldiers abroad. Clark Hall Pub has also been home to many successful acts, including The Tragically Hip, Bedouin Soundclash, Poison Ibey, and satirists Khaki Snack.
