- Bars:
- There are three bars that stand out here. The Parade Bar is quite small but fun. It is a cafe/bar and sells a variety of food and drinks throughout the day. There are themed evenings like the Monday curry night, cheesey music on Tuesday and a quiz on Thursday evenings. Friday evening gives the opportunity for some serious dancing with live DJs playing R&B, dance and funk. Some impressive drink offers as well. There is also an outside patio area which is perfect for warm summer evenings.
The Plug Bar is the main SU bar. It's relatively pubby in style and has that stale fag smell that you just have to love. There is a big screen for sports events, pool tables and games machines. The bar has Happy and Mad hours which provide significant amusement. They also have food in Pitstop and comfy sofas. You can even order a sandwich online from The Pitstop.
The Venue is the third of the bars, and is the SU club. It is again quite small but great fun. They put on regular theme nights. This largely entails a fine selection of all your favourite cheese tunes and regular drinks offers.

- Functions:
- Normally, the boys and girls from Bath take over a swanky country club in Dorset, called Cadbury House, although they have been known to head off to Cheltenham for a 'day' at the races. Sounds like a prize on Big Break, except that with a very late night, lots of alcohol, top bands, a funfair and all the accompanying debauchery you could ever hope for, it's not exactly your regular trip to the races! The Uni also puts on excellent Rag and Grad balls.

- Major Social Events:
- There are events and entertainments on every night of the week. Cheesy music on Tuesday evening in the Parade Bar is unsurprisingly very popular as is the quiz night on Thursday, perhaps this is due to the sometimes reasonably large cash prizes- winnings of £300 have been reported!

- Clubs & Societies:
- With over 80 different societies covering a broad range of interests no one can claim to be bored. Learn to appreciate the delicate flavours of the local booze in the Bath Real Ale Society or don some protective clothing and acquaint yourself with the facinating world of bees alongside other members of the Bee Keeping Society. You can even perfect your juggling and circus skills in Gravity Vomit.
On the sporting front all the clubs do OK, Football has to get the biggest mention though. If you watch the news you'll know that Team Bath reached the 1st round of the FA cup in season 02/03. The first uni side to do so since the 1800's! More recently it has received some serious sponsorship so that it can continue with its valiant efforts.
