LIVERPOOL city guide I’M ISABEL WHITELEY. I’M IN THE SECOND YEAR STUDYING COMPUTER GAMES TECHNOLOGY AND I LIVE IN MARYBONE. by Isabel Whiteley 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 www.accommodationforstudents.com
