Bars & Entertainment

It seems like there is a new bar/club or entertainment venue every month or so in Hull, which is great, because you never can get enough of the student lifestyle! I've been at Hull now for almost four years and quite simply, I am still not bored of the nights out on offer, now whether that's because there's so many of them or because they're so good I wouldn't like to say, but I expect it's a bit of a mix. If you take a typical week for example, every night has it's own place to go, wherther it be out in the town or actually in the university, lets start on Monday:- Monday - "The waterfront", mediyum sized club set on many ...  Read the complete review

Hull is dull - one often hears that as we mention which university we attend. Yet, here in Hull, life couldn't be better. Fairly big bands come here to play, only last year Toploader, the Bluetones, Terrorvision and Embrace played at the University.

This is where the town dignitaries met and decided to refuse Charles I entry to the city (he'd already been barred from the student union for nicking pint glasses). They serve Theakston's Old Peculier on tap, and there are plenty of oaken beams and panelled walls as well, so ...  Read the complete review

Over the last few years, the Hull University bars have been able to boast that they were the biggest single consumer of alcohol in the country! To be fair, this was in part due to the lack of decent pubs near campus, now no longer the case, but the quality of the union is the key factor. Unlike many Student Unions, the Hull Union owns its own building, which gives them much more flexibility. There are currently three bars in the union - one quiet bar, and two main bars, one of which is sometimes closed off for ticketed events, but there will always be one bar open normally. There is a standard choice of drinks, and the normal dirt cheap student prices, ...  Read the complete review
