I haven't seen much of Lancaster but i heard it's a town that is quite focused around the student population so there is bound to be a good nigthlife there, with plenty of pubs and clubs.

hi,
i think the night life in Lancaster is quite good. it doesn’t have anywhere near as many places to go as a large city such as Manchester, Birmingham etc but it has quite a few. Lancaster is also defiantly a student town at night so everything is geared towards us. So you can often get free buses back to uni or about £7-£9 in a taxi. there is also quite a variety in venues. the main clubs are;

Sugarhouse owned by the student union and probably the biggest club and has a mixture of music. I like this place as drinks are quite cheap and you’re not squashed onto the dance floor.

Liquid, quite a nice place and again quite roomy with mainly R&B/hip-hop kind of music.

Toast, not as big as the others but has 2 parts, one Hip-Hop/R&B and the other Rock/Indie.

Lounge, quite small bar like venue that again plays mainly Hip-Hop/R&B. i personally don't like this place due to it's size but i have many friends who like it the best. the only reason i go in there is due to a great drink called Hypnotic! :smile:

The Carlton; about as big as the sugarhouse but is in Morecombe. this is the cheesiest club ever but as long as you drink a lot you would be surprised how much fun it is. mainly plays cheesy music with quite a few classic floor fillers (bring on YMCA :wink:

) with tickets you also get free bus rides there and back, takes about 30min from campus.

they are the main clubs around and then there are also quite a few bars that can be good like Vodka Revolution and the usual Walkabout and Weatherspoons.

And don’t forget the 9 bars on campus!
