  Coventry University
Bars:
There are two sites operated by the SU. One at priory Street and one at Cox Street.

At Priory Street you will find most of the administrative offices and on the ground floor The Elephant & Castle bar. It's quite quiet during the day as people drop in for a swift one between lectures or shoot pool. It has a weekly quiz but that's about it for activities. Normally in the evenings this is a good place to warm up for an evening on the large as drink is cheap.
Food is provided in Basement Jakks, a coffee house with light snacks and a relaxed atmosphere. You can't get a big meal there though.

At Cox Street things get a little more interesting:
The Students' Union Cox Street is where all the uni's clubs and societies are based. The whole place is called Fifty Four and is divided up into several different venues.
The bars inside are as follows:

Scene 54 - the place to go if solitude, space and time out is what you're looking for. During the day this quiet area is used by students to relax, grab something to eat or do some work in a quiet space. By night, Scene 54 is transformed into the chill out zone, playing the coolest sounds and home to the bar with the smallest queue in the venue, make sure you check it out!
Bar 54 is a reasonably sized space and hoasts Boozy Bingo on a Tuesday, Wednesday WarmUp with DJ's and alchohol promotions and quiz and pool competitions on a Thursday.
Studio 54 is open three nights per week for you to shake it down and rid your self of all your Uni stresses. With an enourmous dance floor and a stage, two very popular nights are Trollied (pound a pint on Mondays) and Flirt (serious cheese on Friday).

Functions:
All functions are held in Fifty Four.

Monday - Trollied- £ a pint
Tuesday - Boozy Bingo
Wednesday - Wednesday WarmUp- different DJ's theres sure to be some cheese. Thursday - Quiz and pool
Friday - Flirt- pure cheese
Saturday - Tangled

Cheese and dance rule the roost so be prepared. Those wanting something different will need to follow the societies and local area routes and find like minded people themselves which, to be fair, shouldn't be tough.

Major Social Events:
The main annual event is the Summer Ball which was held this year at the country retreat of Coombe Abbey, and featured performances from the Honeyz and a funfair. There aren't really any other major events, but CUSU are planning a Christmas Ball for the new academic year.
Clubs & Societies:
All mainstream clubs are strong here, with Rugby, Hockey, Football, Netball and of course Rugby League weighing in the heaviest. There are over 60 clubs and societies with Martial Arts featuring strongly, but if you fancy something a little less physical there plenty of other stuff on offer.
