Salvation & Society

Society (1 room) and Salvation (2 rooms) offer a similar night to Kuda on their main dance floors. However, Salvation hosts a classic indie rock style of music in its upstairs room. They are known for their cheap drinks and bucket deals which makes the clubs popular with the students, especially with Salvation hosting KOH student night on a Friday.

SALVATION UPDATE: Salvation may be closing in years to come, as it has been discovered the owner has applied for planning permission to convert the nightclub into a restaurant and flats. However, some Councillors have raised concerns about the loss of major city centre music venue.

Fibbers

Fibbers operates as a multi-function venue. On a Friday and Saturday night they usually have live bands from 8pm, however at 11pm it transforms into a nightclub. Fridays and Saturdays at Fibbers are usually just a regular club night, although sometimes they host more in demand DJs for one off events. During the week, this venue hosts multiple student nights including an Indie Party (Tuesday), FRAT Party (Wednesday) and regular club nights of House/Tech/Bass/Dance Anthems.

Mansion

Mansion is the home of more ‘serious’ dance music which offers individual nights for Tech, Bass and DnB genres. They don’t seem to have a regular set of events, you have to keep your eyes peeled for information. Like Kuda and Fibbers, on weeknights during term time Mansion hosts student events, for example, on a Thursday night they host a Drum & Bass only night, which consist of the latest DnB and Jungle music.

Yates & Revolution

Yates is a bar which severs pub food by day, but is a crazy club by night. On a Friday and Saturday it offers a regular club night, however on a Wednesday night it hosts “£1 a Pint” which does what it says on the tin and is very popular with the students as it’s a cheap night out.
