- Bars:
- City Campus:
The Glo Bar - Light and spacious, designed like a cool city wine bar, and is really popular both during the day, and at night. The Glo Bar also has a modern loft apartment feel, with plenty of aluminium and stainless steel design features. Even the staff at the Glo Bar are stylish, as the uniforms are from Paul Smith!
Le Metro Bar – Le Metro also houses the Acoustic Café which is situated on the lower ground floor and provides a smaller, more intimate arena to enjoy live music. At the weekend, when there is a late licence until 2am, it opens out for whole building events! It becomes the centre of the nightclub entertainment, while the Glo Bar is more chilled.
Clifton:
The Point - This is a more multi-purpose venue used for large social occasions, as well as the weekly Pounded. There is an excellent sound and lighting system here. Students who live at Clifton tend to have this bar as the centre of their social life.
Brackenhurst also has a bar on site.

- Functions:
- The bar offers happy hour from 5-9pm everyday and on a Wednesday it’s The Wednesday Club, which is happy hour all day. The most popular night is Friday, when there is a late 2am license. The Union also teams up with local clubs and bars to offer functions at a variety of locations. For example, Tuesday night is student night at The Works, and Wednesday is the Campus night at Ocean.

- Major Social Events:
- The first major social event of the year is the Freshers' Ball, always a great night, and students invariably come out pissed, pulled, or both. In July there is the Summer Ball which costs £55.00, but is well worth the money. Black tie of course Mr Bond.
|
- Clubs & Societies:
- There are a whole range of clubs and societies at the University, ranging from sports clubs to academic societies. Even rare / expensive sports are catered for, for example the Gliding Club offer free instruction, and large discounts on flights. The Ski Club also offers free tuition at the Sheffield Ski village and there are regular ski holidays to France.
There is a War Games & Role Play Society for those who like that sort of thing, and if you are an aspiring 'Goth', why not join the Rock Society. Full details can be found at Freshers Fayre.
