T-Room, Fixed construction in Nova Scotia, Canada.

The T-Room is a campus bar on Barrington Street in downtown Halifax, between Spring Garden Road and Morris Street, on Dalhousie University's Sexton Campus. Opened in 1937, it sits in the former Nova Scotia Technical College buildings and serves engineering and architecture students. Its name likely comes from students shortening "Tech" rather than from the bar's shape, which is closer to an L.

The T-Room opened in 1937 under Fredrick H. Sexton, first principal and later president of the Nova Scotia Technical College, on whose campus it stands. Around 1980 the college became the Technical University of Nova Scotia, which the province forced to amalgamate with Dalhousie University in April 1997. After a few years as Dalhousie University Polytechnic (DalTech), the faculties were folded into Dalhousie in 2001, and the campus is now Dalhousie's Sexton Campus.

The name likely comes from students shortening Nova Scotia Technical College to "Tech", not from the bar's shape, which is closer to an L. Friday pub quizzes have run since 2002, and after The Coast omitted them from a 2009 list, readers' outcry led the paper to add a Best Trivia Night category, won by the T-Room every year since.

The T-Room sits on Barrington Street between Spring Garden Road and Morris Street, in downtown Halifax on Dalhousie's Sexton Campus. Trivia runs every Friday night, so that evening draws the biggest crowd. The bar has two pool tables at the back, where regulars play eight-ball.

The bar's name is often assumed to come from its shape, but the room is closer to an L; it more likely derives from students shortening Nova Scotia Technical College to "Tech". In 2009 staff created the Rev-Bomb, Rev mixed with Jägermeister, nicknamed the "Halifax Explosion".
