Junior Common Room Junior Common Room


Located opposite to the Absinthe Pub and the Coffee shop, the JCR is a common student area (measuring 26 metres in length by 56 metres in height) that functions as an arts presentation/performance space. It has a portable stage, a sound system, a large screen and video projector. The JCR is also just a place to simply hang out with your friends, relax with a book, study or use s a comfortable place for commuters to wait between classes, or for the next bus home.

The JCR is student space, so everyone is encouraged to come up with your won ideas of how to use it! In past it has been the venue for a wide variety of dance performances and classes (from salsa to hip hop), theatrical and musical performances (steel drum bands to chorale performances), film screenings, special televised events (the Academy Awards to Superbowl to the Opera), workshops, lectures, yoga and tai chi classes.

Written proposals, including dates and times, should be submitted to the Office of the Master, 120 Winters College, at any time.

Check out the bulletin board outside the JCR for upcoming events! 



Absinthe Pub Absinthe Pub


Under the direction of the Winters College Council, the Absinthe Pub and Coffee Shop has long been the social center for Winters College, and one of the most frequented spots at York University. Its menu caters to meat lovers and vegetarians alike offering everything from snack food, fresh pastries, teas, coffee and bagels to submarine sandwiches, chili, soups and daily specials.


Absinthe Pub
For after class diversion, the "Ab" features a large screen TV, dartboards, pinball, video games and the occasional live band. A wide selection of domestic and imported beer, mixed drinks and an eclectic choice of music (from Mozart to Motorhead) round out the Absinthe's cheery atmosphere.


Absinthe Pub

There are a limited number of part time jobs available in the "Ab" at the beginning of the academic year. Students interested in working at the pub should apply as soon as possible.

I look forward to seeing both new and returning patrons and hope that we can somehow make your campus life just a little more enjoyable.
