House rules

We want ACU to be a nice and safe place where people can enjoy themselves. To make this possible we have some house rules. We hope you enjoy your time with us!

  • Cash only

    ACU does not use any forms of electronic payment in the bar. So if you want to buy a drink or pay for entry, hit the ATM first!

  • 99% Vegan

    Please do not bring meat or fish into ACU.

  • No drugs

    We have zero tolerance for hard drugs. If you are spotted using hard drugs, you will be asked to leave and risk a bar ban.

  • No harassment

    We don’t tolerate racism, sexism, homophobia or any other form of oppression, exclusion, violence or harassment.

  • No dogs

    Dogs have sensitive ears, so when ACU is busy and the music is loud, this is not the best place for them.

  • No photography

    Please don’t take photos or videos of people unless they have explicitly agreed to have their image taken.

  • No cups outside

    We risk a fine if people take drinks outside.

  • Be quiet outside

    We try to maintain a good relation with our neighbors and keep disturbance as minimal as possible.

  • Follow instructions from volunteers

If you have been harassed or feel that you are a victim of discrimination or were mistreated by a guest or a volunteer, please let us know by filling in this form, or ask a volunteer present for assistance.
