In response to student desire for a late night gathering place on campus, the Duquesne Union NiteSpot was created. During May through August of 2000, the old bowling alleys were beautifully transformed into a recreation/lounge area known as the NiteSpot.

The NiteSpot has computers for Internet browsing. It is equipped with two billiards tables, two ping-pong tables, foosball, skee-ball, and basketball games. The lounge area has soft, comfortable sofas and chairs, four different video game consoles such as PS3, X-Box 360, and Nintendo Wii. Playing cards and numerous board games are available. The Nitespot also offers a 50" HD TV with Surround Sound for your viewing pleasure.

The popular facility is open 10:00 AM – Midnight Sundays through Wednesdays, and features special late-night programs until 2:00 AM on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. These special late-night programs also provide free snacks, cappuccino, and soft drinks which begin at 10:00 PM. Please keep in mind that all activities, programs, snacks, and drinks are FREE to Duquesne Students.

Join us for TOURNAMENT NIGHT on Tuesday night's at 9:00 PM with free wings and beverages as you compete against your classmates.

Time is set aside each Wednesday night for LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE at 9:00 PM as student organizations have an opportunity to showcase their talents. For more information about LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE, contact Mike Cecil at (412) 396-1987 or via e-mail at cecil@duq.edu

Thursday night programs begin at 8:00 PM with BINGO NIGHT and complimentary beverages. At 10:00 PM COLOR OUTSIDE THE LINES focuses on creative arts and crafts such wind chimes, gift bags, cork boards, and potter painting.

**Don't forget, late-night Thursday events are included in the Late Night Loot Program.

On Fridays, the Duquesne Program Council's DUNites provide a variety of entertainment such as tie dye nights, build-a-bear workshops, and special performances. On select nights, a caricature artist is also available.

DPC also provides the movies for Saturday’s Late Night Movie series. Watch out for Movie Marathons this semester!

Although these special late-night programming brings a lively crowd to the Nitespot, it does not interfere with those who still wish to browse the Internet, or participate in the NiteSpot’s other attractions. The NiteSpot has quickly become a popular daytime lounging and recreation place for students; as well as a great late-night place to spend leisure time with friends until 2:00 A.M. on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
