- Bars:
- There are two bars on the main All Saints site. They are usually busy and even when the city has so much to offer, people still seem to enjoy the atmosphere of the the SU. There are also bars at the other MMU sites at Didsbury, Crewe and Alsager, but these are a lot quieter.
For live music and decent clubbing students flock to K2, one of the Union Bars, which was given a £95K lick of paint a few years back!! (only joking...they have done a good job). Many students also head off to Manchester University, which has an excellent live music scene. Indie bands and dance DJs often play at this venue.
The MancUnion Bar upstairs is a slightly calmer, but definitely still buzzing alternative to K2. It hosts monthly comedy nights and a weekly Universally Challenge quiz.
FOOD
The Blue Cafe does a pretty nice range of baguettes, panninis and other standard snack and lunch fare.

- Functions:
- Man Met students know how to party, several times a week... K2 holds a number of weekly events. The best of which include the appropriately titled Double Vision each friday and Rock Kitchen which Metal Hammer mag insists is the "best rock night in the north". Face It a monthly UK hip hop and D & B fest also held in K2 is worth a visit.

- Major Social Events:
- Freshers Week gets those new arrivals in the Man Met partying groove and seasonal balls keep the atmosphere going...
|
- Clubs & Societies:
- There are societies for virtually every interest...martial arts are a strong presence, from Aikido to Wing Tsun Kung Fu. Perhaps these exist to enable the students to make it home safely, or maybe it is just for fun. Whatever the case, the standard is reasonably high and the instructors are good.
There is a Surf Club...not that you would ever want to swim near Manchester (too bloody cold)...and an Ultimate Frisbee society. The ladies football team contains some premiership players which is pretty impressive.
