Looking for the best student night out in Nottingham? Slug and Lettuce Nottingham Market Square or Cornerhouse has you covered. With a lively atmosphere, affordable drinks, and great deals for students, it's the perfect place to unwind after a busy week of lectures.
Whether you're celebrating the end of exams or just enjoying a night out with friends, you'll find fantastic cocktails, music, and a fun crowd.
What's The Motive are knocking up plenty of parties for freshers week in Nottingham. From Astroworld to #YOLOFEST and wild raves, their soirees come complete with dancing, fun games and tonnes of tunes - think bashment and hip hop.
Fancy something a little different? Check out Mecca in Beeston for a night of raucous bingo, delicious drink deals and scrumptious comfort food if you get a bit peckish. Plus the venue fronts events throughout the year such as quizzes and drag-drenched affairs.
With 2 for £9.95 on cocktails every day, The Blind Rabbit is fab when it comes to cheap bars in Nottingham. Whether you fancy coming for the HD screens and regular sports fixtures or making the most of All You Can Eat Wings on Wednesdays, it's a great student haunt.
One of the best bars in Nottingham for students, Penny Lane has arcade games galore. Channel your inner kid and play air hockey all while enjoying the adult fun of sipping kooky cocktails - the 99 Problems But a Beach Ain't One comes with a seaside rock and inflatable.
Though O'Neill's Nottingham is already popular for its affordable food and drinks, it also hosts a brilliant student night every Wednesday in collaboration with #SKinT. Take advantage of epic discounts while you bounce around to tunes from live DJs.
A venue known for its picturesque themed rooms, The Hockley Arts Club is great for weekend nights out. Head downstairs in 'Stockholm' where there's a cracking DJ from 9pm to 2am on Fridays and Saturdays. Its Electric Garden is also beaut for those on the hunt for Insta-worthy spots.
Situated in the city centre, Rescue Rooms has plenty of weekday parties with our personal favourite being 'Pressure'. The evening features indie-disco from the likes of The Strokes, Oasis and much more. Plus the 2-4-1 drink deals make for a memorable Tuesday student night in Nottingham.
For a real VIP experience in the city, check out Oceana. With an assortment of areas to explore, there won't be a single dull moment. Think a Venetian balcony, NYC-inspired disco and an Aspen-inspired ski lodge. That's one way to go abroad.
