4 Quay Hill
A bar and club, popular with students as it’s cheap to get in and plays a diverse range of music.
Mango Tango
Market Street – the centre of town
This place looks great – downstairs it’s a café/bar, upstairs it’s a club.
The bar downstairs opens 7 days a week, 12 noon till late. Food served between 12 – 3pm and 6 – 9pm. The evening starts at 10pm upstairs, with different entertainment every night, including salsa dancing! An establishment that’s friendly to students.
