History
Established in 2003.
Brief History
The Bullring, built in 1903 was originally called the "Judging Pavilion" and used for livestock auctions and shows at the University of Guelph.
Around 1970, four years after the University of Guelph was established, the Bullring was converted into a campus pub. Through the 70's, 80's and early 90's the Bullring was among the UofG students favourite watering holes. In 2002 due to dwindling sales the Bullring closed and planning began for its transition. In the summer of 2003 construction began with the goal of converting it into a coffee pub.
In October 2003, the Bullring opened to the public as a furnished, licensed coffee shop with a full menu. Today the Bulling employs over 40 part time staff and offers a wide range of products and services including a diverse menu, internet café, ATM services and Fair Trade coffee and tea.
Meet the Manager: Katrina L.
Over 20 years in the business. Katrina has been the Bullring Manager since 2005. She started washing dishes at a family restaurant way back when she was a teenager. Throughout the years she worked her way to a small boutique hotel where she had the opportunity to work in almost all departments - kitchen, serving staff, front desk, wedding & corporate sales ending her tenure there as the general manager. The Bullring brought new and different challenges - within her first year of employment Katrina was able to bring the business into a successful growing Cafe in the heart of the University of Guelph. Her favourite thing about working for the Bullring is the food, the cozy atmosphere and the dynamic ever changing student staff. She is a proud Guelph Alumni (B. Comm HAFA 2001) and so happy to be back on campus. She resides in Guelph with her husband and son.
