Hello again!

Most people think the weekend is the best time to go out, but when you’re a student it can be pretty pricey. So I decided I’d compare prices on a student night to weekend prices to give you an idea of when it’s best to go out.

Nightclubs tend to have higher entry prices on weekends and little or no drink offers for students. My advice, just relax over the weekend! If you want to go clubbing, go out on an evening where you know you have a late start or day off the next day.

Thursdays are a pretty safe bet with clubs, pretty much all of them have a student night on, which means there’s a variety of places you can go to have a good night.

 Here’s a little insight into what some of the clubs offer:

  • Wahoo:

Rubix: £1.50 Kronenbourg, VK’s and vodka mixers and £2 for bombs

£3 entry before 12, £4 after

  • Tokyo

Ctrl, Alt + Del: £1 selected shots, £1.50 beers, bottles, spirit + mixer and Jaeger-bombs (Also can get 4 for £5)

£2 entry before 11pm

  • Home

Billionaire: £1 selected shots, £1.50 tuborg and vodka +mixers and £2.50 for cocktails.

£3 entry before 11.30pm at Union and £3.50 for Billionaire

A few of the clubs didn’t really like telling me their Saturday rates, but here a couple so you can compare:

  • Ritzy: between £4.50 and £6.50 entry
  • Tokyo often has events on Saturdays, so prices can sometimes be between £9 and £12

Other pub/club deals which are pretty handy to know about:

  • L4: £1 beer bottles and tequila slammers, £2.50 cocktails and Jaeger-bombs.
  • William Foster: Quids In, Wednesday after 8pm
  • Walkabout: Quids In, Sunday 

Have fun out there!
