Bars & Entertainment

After spending almost a year in Leeds at University, I have had the oportunity to sample the vibrant,swinging nightlife of the city and a few of the less fabulous places to be. Here's my guide to the place to be... CLUBS: Space: Acclaimed club, and home to the more discerning clubber, a small underground haven of innovative funky beats. Recommended. I paid £4 in the week for entry. Heaven&Hell: What a hole. Do not even think about going there, not for one second, please! Creation: A cheesetastic night, guaranteed to be brimming full of students on the pull. A Leeds superclub and with 3 rooms enough variation to cater for most ...  Read the complete review

Leeds University Union is a fantastic place and has just undergone a massive face lift which has taken some time and cost almost £5m but worth every penny. The Union is open for all students and guests can be signed in very easily at night (they can just sneak in during the day). The Union has many facilities including: Book shop This is a large bookshop deep inside the union and is mainly visited by students in the first couple of weeks of each semester when they go out to buy those large doorstops (oops I mean textbooks). The bookshop is very competitively priced compared to the commercial bookshops in town such as Waterstones. This shop has every book ...  Read the complete review

Leeds student union has just had a £4.8 million refurbishment and extension completed, all be it a little late, this now makes it one of the largest SU's in the country and brings it's facilities bang up to date. The union is located slap bang in the middle of campus so no-one has to walk too far from their buildings for the obligatory post/pre lecture pint, not that I'm saying that all students do is drink, but the old bar does have the longest bar in Britain. The building is difficult to miss and entrance is through one of three doors, all very close to each other for some reason, if you're not a student of Leeds then entrance will set you ...  Read the complete review

When it comes to nightlife, Leeds rocks big time!! I have just finished my first year at Leeds Uni and loved every minute. You name it and Leeds has it. 10% of Leeds income is from the night economy and that?s a lot. There are hundreds of pubs, bars and clubs that cater for all tastes and with a student population of over 40,000 its no wonder. In terms of pubs, the best ones have got be those on "the Otley run". This is ?the? student pub crawl and stretches from "Woodies" through Headingley (the main student area) past the Uni and down into the city centre ending in the bars and clubs. All the pubs (about 15) are reasonably priced ...  Read the complete review

I am a second year studying Zoology at Leeds University. I moved over from Manchester last year, so Leeds had a lot to live up for, for me. I'd say that if your thinking of coming to Leeds Uni you should ask yourself a question : Do I want the widest choice of clubs catering for every taste; loads of ace bars and clubs, most with cheap student nights, not to mention a very good range of shops if you happen to have any money left. Now I can't imagine many people saying no to all that, and I suppose I should mention something about the other side of university life - the uni itself is one of the best, loads of different people, good accomodation, top union. If ...  Read the complete review
