Downstairs in the main Students' Union is Sadler's. It used to be a pub and is now a trendy Hogshead-style bar. This conversion panders to the students' cosmopolitan desires. Upstairs is the Wonderbar, see picture.
This is a cafe bar during the day and a club venue in the evenings. It has an extended licence on any function night. Food is good and comes from Poncho's, a Mexican themed fast food outlet.
There is a union-run bar in halls. This has also been refurbished recently. It's relaxed and friendly and puts on some low key events. They have a big screen for sports events.
The main problem with the social life at City is that it is very segregated. The high Asian population tend to keep themselves to themselves and the SU lacks any real atmosphere. Many students prefer to drink in the local area where drinks are only slightly more expensive.
