Bars & Entertainment

I hate to be stereotypical, but most students love the odd tipple (or two) right? Right. And most students are a bit limited in the old finance department? Ok. And variety is the spice of life? Yes. Well, I am pleased to tell you that Bangor has no less than 40 pubs and has been reported as one of the cheapest places to get sozzled. I know this might not be enough, but most of the pubs in Bangor appreciate that students are their main customers, whereas if you go to pubs in a city like Leeds or Manchester, you might be lucky if you bump into 1 or 2 students – in Bangor they’re everywhere! This means that you might pick up a few people on your rounds ...  Read the complete review

And here I will review the best, the worst, and the cheapest pubs, clubs and restaurants in Bangor (from my experience).

When I say student union I'm going to be generally talking about the facilities available during the day. I have limited experience of the night time entertainment! The student union building is located on Deinol Road, Bangor. It is mainly used by science students, (only about 50 yards from the chemistry department) as it is a bit far away down a steep hill for use by arts students. It has a useful shop, not the cheapest for stationery, but good for sweeties and drinks! The shop opens at 8.30am. It is fairly well stocked and sells a wide multitude of things. There is also a campus branch of the Natwest, and a cash machine. The student ...  Read the complete review
