GREAT NIGHT OUT
Generally, we start the night at a flat
party. Next, we pop down to G Bar, which
usually has free entry with a student
card on Thursdays and Fridays, making
it a cheap place to start off. However,
I’d avoid it on Fridays since it is House
night. After a couple of drinks, we then
head out to Concert Square, where a lot
of the bars are situated. Pop World is a
must, with its 90s’ non-stop pop sure to
get everyone singing along. They even
have face cut-out stands of childhood
bands, which guarantee a good laugh.
We usually head out to Krazyhouse next,
which has three floors of music; one for
metal, one for indie and one for pop. It’s
a great alternative option to classic clubs
90
as it has something for everybody, there’s
even a giant rideable rhino! Typically, we
end up getting some fast food from one
of the many McDonald’s; chicken nuggets
are a must to end a good night out! For
a quieter night out, Bierkeller is the
place to go, featuring live bands mixed
with popular club hits. They do steins
with either beers or cocktails and allow
dancing on the seats, guaranteeing a
good time out.
BEST PLACES TO EAT
The Students’ Union has a shop on-site
which is great for a quick snack, but if
I have time at lunch I usually pop up to
one of the local museum cafes, such as
the Tate; they have nice food and there’s
always a new exhibition to visit. It can
be pricey but the food is definitely worth
it. Another good option is Leaf, a lovely
tea shop which has the most gorgeous
cakes - if only chocolate brownies could
be eaten for every meal! Tribbiani’s is a
great pizza place, located close to the
University. They offer a 20% discount with
any student ID, making it a cheap option
