With a student population of roughly 70,000, Liverpool sure knows a thing or two about wild midweek sessions and unbeatable drinks deals. From old school fun in Flares to live music at Camp and Furnace, and underground clubbing at Heebie Jeebies, there's no shortage of buzzing nightlife spots to keep you entertained. So, what are you waiting for? Say see ya later to that 9am lecture, and hello to Liverpool's very best student bars.

Ideally situated a stone's throw away from Albert Dock and James Street Station, All Bar One is a sleek cocktail bar and restaurant. Offering classic British dishes that won't break the bank, it's the perfect pitstop before a night on the tiles.
With basement Saturday night DJs, affordable drinks and a relaxed Irish breakfast club on weekends, The Flanagan's Apple is perfect for all stages of a student night out: the partying and the morning after. Plus, there's live bands on a Friday if you fancy it.
With a happy hour that lasts all day, every day, Slug and Lettuce knows what it's doing when it comes to cheap cocktails. Sip on 2 for 1 pornstar martinis, mojitos or pina coladas, or crack open a bottle of bubbly for just £13 on Fridays.
Combining a state of the art arcade with a sleek bar, ArCains is the perfect weekend hangout. Get competitive on one of the hundreds of vintage consoles and games before refuelling with American-style nosh and thirst-quenching craft beers.
Fridays are all about the fizz at The Shipping Forecast, with bottles reduced to just £15 all night long. Alternatively, head to this contemporary spot midweek to feast on 2 for 1 burgers and chicken wings with a backdrop of funky neon signs and quirky artwork.
Hidden behind some thick velvet curtains on Seel Street, you'll find Salt Dog Slim's - the secret bar that feels more like an NYC apartment than a Liverpool hotspot. Attracting a young and lively crowd, this place is known for its stellar selection of craft beers and tasty hot dogs.
Fancy a night getting down to the likes of B*witched and the Spice Girls? Of course you do. Cue Popworld, the whacky bar that's adorned with vibrant furnishings and funky pop art. Head here to sip on colourful cocktails and grown-up slushies as you Cha Cha Slide late into the night.
A mainstay on Liverpool's student nightlife scene, Flares is all about the cheesy classics. Complete with a flashing dancefloor and a playlist of non-stop retro hits late into the night, this place is a bit like those unforgettable year six discos, only better.
A popular Liverpool bar with a Bavarian twist, Bierkeller is famed for its debaucherous tendencies. Expect a night here to end with dancing on the tables to a live Oompah band, sloshing stein in hand, no doubt.
Located in the heart of Concert Square and serving doubles for just £3.50, Modo is one of Liverpool's premier party spots. Boasting a huge garden, this place becomes packed out on game days, with wall-to-wall live sports coverage throughout.
Homemade pizzas, beer pong, happy hour cocktails and a load of pool tables all under one roof? That's our kind of Saturday night hang out. A firm fave among Liverpool's student population, this city centre spot is ideal for a hassle-free group night excursion.
Injecting a slice of Cuban-inspired fun into Liverpool's nightlife scene, Revolucion De Cuba is the place to head if you're in the mood for a fiesta. Dance the night away to salsa beats whilst sipping on fruity cocktails and admiring the stunning Albert Dock vista.
Boasting one of the city's busiest outdoor terraces, Heebie Jeebies is jam-packed every night of the week. Whether you're in the mood for a chilled out al fresco pint in The Courtyard, or fancy shaking it off until 4am in the basement club - this place has got it all.
