What is student nightlife like in Nottingham?

Nottingham is diverse when it comes to its nightlife; traditional pubs, secret bars, nightclubs, and live music venues can all be found in abundance. With Nottingham being a student-influenced city, there is a clear focus from venues to concentration on the student population – some of our favourite places to enjoy are:

Coco Tang

With an entrance based on a Hong Kong alley, the underground Coco Tang bar has been serving cocktails to students since 2008 and has a club-style vibe the later the night goes on.

The venue has a Vietnamese-styled roof garden which is great for a short break away from the house, funk & old school music in the basement.

Students can grab a deal in their happy hour between 7pm-9pm every Tuesday – Thursday!

Pryzm

The super club should be familiar to students across the UK as a must-visit for a good night! The Nottingham venue spans across six rooms, which includes the huge main room, intimate urban space, and retro room with a vinyl dance floor.

Rescue Rooms

Rescue Rooms has something on every night of the week, from club nights, to live music events, through to karaoke nights.

A student’s favorite night is Pressure – which takes place every Tuesday. The venue offers students free entry and 2-4-1 drinks all night long. When inside, you will have a choice of alternative songs in the downstairs bar or hip hop upstairs.

There is also a karaoke night every Wednesday for those who love a singalong, don’t worry, nobody is going to remember what you sounded like in the morning!

Rock City

If you love to dance the night away to alternative/indie hits, Rock City is the place for you! They host club nights from Wednesday – Saturday every week, with great drink deals on offer each night.

Crisis Wednesday is the official night for Nottingham University students– the venue claim that 2,000 students pack into the three rooms each week to enjoy chart, cheese, R’n’B, indie and student anthems.

Tuned Thursday’s claims to be the biggest and best party in town, with 2,000+ people partying across three rooms and 2-4-1 drinks all night.

Nottingham is diverse when it comes to shopping; from its popular storefronts to its secret side streets, where you will find the most unique places to shop.

The main place for leisurely shopping in Nottingham is the intu Victoria Centre, where you’ll find all the main high street names such as JD Sports, Pandora, Boots and more – it’s open from 9am-6pm daily, and 11am-5pm on Sunday’s.

Inside the shopping centre is Victoria Centre Market – Nottingham’s largest indoor market. There are stalls selling a variety of products, from fresh food, meat, and fish, through to books, jewellery, and textiles.

If you want to stay away from the high street retailers and shop at one of Nottingham’s many independent shops – the Nottingham Independent Shopping Trail app was launched in 2017 to help people find the stores: https://goo.gl/WCDAqT

If you are living in the city centre, the best places to grab your groceries will be the Tesco Metro in the intu Victoria Centre. If you are lucky enough to have access to a car, there are ALDI and Sainsbury superstores located just outside of the city centre too.
