Cardiff Student Life ... Student Nights

Some would say that the student social life is just as important as the studying!

This section contains info on the best mid-week student nights in Cardiff, on a day by day basis. Also check out our sister site - The Student Week which has even more!

'bounce' student night



Mondays

Apart from Cardiff SU, all the action on a Monday is centred on Greyfriars Road, from Oceana to Tiger Tiger and all the bars inbetween. Last year wasn't as busy though, probably due to the many Sunday night events. Warm up drinks at the The Woodville, Woodville Road, Varsity, Greyfriars Road or The Crockerton, Greyfriars Road (Lloyds No 1 bar). Live Lounge, The Friary, is good too after midnight/1am.
