Student Nights out in Southampton

Jesters

Oh Jesters, Jesters, Jesters…. the palace of dreams. The perfect place where you want to have the most amount of fun on the smallest budget. You can get a 50p pint every Monday and taste local delicacies like Jesticles. If cheesy music, sticky dancefloors and toilet graffiti are your thing this is the perfect place. No frills fun without pretentious posers or pretentious prices, and if you’re enjoying pre-party you can get late entry through Clowns.

Sobar

Just down the road from Jesters, Sobar is pretty similar to it’s rowdy neighbor. It’s the venue for sports socials on Wednesdays, £1 drinks on Tuesdays and sometimes has a little BBQ going outside. Again, it’s the perfect night for students on a budget looking for fun. 

Oceana

Fancy getting a bit more glam? Oceana is more for your heel wearers who like bigger, ‘clubbier’ clubs. It’s one of the biggest in Southampton with different rooms, five bars and VIP rooms and closes at 3am, later than most other student nights. Compared to non-student nights out its still very cheap, but not as outrageously cheap as Jesters and Sobar. And there’s a hot dog stall outside, mm…

The Edge

The Edge is Southampton’s largest and most popular gay nightclub, which has just undergone a huge refurb. It has a jukebox, pool table, great drinks deals and is open until 4am. After winning a lot of different gay nightlife awards, it’s definitely worth a visit! Always guaranteed a fun night - a great way to socialize and discover Southampton’s gay nightlife.

Fancy a chilled one?

If you’re in the mood for something a little less crazy there’s a lot of options for a great night. We’re lucky to have Union films, one of the only student-run cinemas on campus offering tickets at a fraction of local cinema prices. Alternatively, the Stag’s Head, your union pub, is a great place to have a chilled drink without having to shout over nightclub music. It’s open throughout the week and shows live sports, has karaoke on Thursdays and 2 for 1 pizza deals. Also, every Sunday, The Bridge hosts a Quiz and Curry night, which is great fun without having to splash the cash for be home at 4am. Have a look on the SUSU website for other events on around campus, you’ll be surprised at how much is on offer!
