Bars & Entertainment

Newest Review: ... or McCoy's crisps to choose from. Oh joy. --The Back Bar-- At the back of the pub, this was supposed the be the quiet chat venue that UEA so sorely lacks. There is no smoking, no music, no games...there are even comfy sofas. Lovely. So why, why do they insist on having satellite TV on all the time? Big sports matches? Okay, fair do's. The Simpson's? Hmm, student classic, so okay I guess. Random MTV, or bar staff channel-hopping? No thanks! This (along with the crap drinks served as in the pub) has put me off the back bar. --The Hive-- Serving coffee, sandwiches and snacks as well as booze (same stuff and prices as the pub ... more

[see update re. refurbishment!] UEA is blessed (?) with no less than five bars and one entertainment venue on campus, and another venue in town*. Sadly (perhaps like many university bars), their attempts to cater to the masses leave plenty for the lovers of cheap alcohol ingested quickly, and not much for those who like to socialise over a quiet pint, or (perish the thought) no alcohol at all. There's also the problem of there being simply too little room in campus bars, such that on popular nights, there'll be a queue regulated by bouncers. * [update] As of the summer of 2002, the Pub and Back Bar are closed for massive refurbishment. This work is also ... Read the complete review

I used to go to UEA and In my first year UEA gained the title for the most pints drunk per student over the whole year ever. This record has yet to be broken, and maybe it never will be it. If it is however put your money on UEA to break their own record. The bar on campus is always seething and on certain nights you have to get there as early as 6pm to be certain of getting in. pints are priced from £1.50, and there are usually £1 offers on bottles. Besides the bar there is the LCR Disco on thursdays which is run by the union and it is almost always sold out. Every other saturday you can go to a retro and there are famous bands playing almost every day. For nightlife ... Read the complete review
