The best student bars in Bristol
Bristol’s nightlife has been under the spotlight quite a lot recently here at the Almero Student Mansions blog and today is no different as we take a look at the very best student bars in the city. We have examined the best clubs and the best pubs in Bristol but today we are looking purely at those student friendly bars, the ones where you can expect to see your campus mates hanging out and of course, some cool student discounts.
Over the years, we have come to know our residents pretty well and in particular, those in our favourite student locations. Bristol is most definitely one of those, not least due to its vibrant student community and its almost unrivalled social scene.
In particular, Bristol based students tend to prefer proper pubs, sports bars, karaoke and live music and also bars which tend to stay open a little bit later than the others. So with no further ado, we have done the hard work for you and profiled the best student bars in Bristol. Enjoy!
