‘Best of Nottingham’ Awards

This year the aim of the section was to introduce students to the copious amounts of bars, clubs, restaurants and events in Nottingham, to show that there is more on offer than Ocean and Crisis (as much as they are loved). We have chosen from the best venues, music, food and cocktails so you can [...]

Can you Party Hard with your Other Half?

Nights out with your other half are a maker or breaker of your evening, and that of those around you. Too many nights have been tainted by the minefield of squabbling couples. I introduce your main culprits:
The Cling-On
Watching a girl chase around after her man is about as heartbreaking as watching a dog chase its [...]

Fun times on Mephedrone?

Mephedrone is a currently legal entactogen stimulant that many people reading this will have no doubt heard of or taken for research purposes. I don’t want to bore you with the details; instead I want to give you an idea of what a night on Mephedrone might be like.
The night began in Camden Underworld with [...]

Just the Tonic…

It’s exactly half past nine on a Monday evening and my dinner partner and I have just had the pleasure of a meal at Tonic, a Restaurant-cum-Bar-cum-Deli in the Chapel Quarter of the city centre. Pleasure is just about the right word to sum Tonic up, too. The cool but comfortable interior, mixed with the [...]

1877 Restaurant Review

The Michelin rated 1877 sits imposingly at the top of Derby Road, giving the impression of being too upmarket for the student audience. However with the introduction of their Wednesday student night, with 25% off food and drink, it’s moved itself closer to our price range, allowing the student population to sample what life would [...]

Holy Moley! it’s gee whizz

Held once a month in The Den, Gee Whizz! is a wonderland of brilliant music, good drinks and a bubbling atmosphere. We caught up with David Edgcumbe, the person behind this night, just before his ‘Mad Hatter’s Tea Party’ to explain everything you need to know.
Impact: What’s the idea behind your night?
David: I wanted to [...]

A Life Behind Bars

Students. We all love to go out. We all love to party until the small hours, and have the time of our lives. We all like to talk about it incessantly the next day and laugh over the pictures. We cherish the memories of the times we had, the things we did and the places [...]

Tilt: Blues and Cocktails

When a classic martini is served in a goldfish bowl, either a bar is confident in its ability or just downright stupid. The stem of Tilt’s martini glasses is chopped off and you’re left with a glass that looks like something you would put on a cat’s neck to stop it scratching a wound. When [...]

Golden Fleece: Nottingham’s all-rounder?

This local pub made a pleasant change to my normal Sunday morning. Of all the ways to nurse yourself through a fantastic hangover, their Sunday lunch is not a bad solution. Having won best bar food in Nottingham for the past 2 years I was very satisfied with my massive lamb roast accompanied by Bob [...]
