So, in this blog I&#8217;m going to talk about the clubs and bars in Bournemouth, what night to go where and if you aren&#8217;t into clubbing, some other options (pre-Covid obviously!).<\/p>\n<h4>Clubs<\/h4>\n<p>There is a huge variety of clubs in Bournemouth, from Lost Paradise at the top of town to Cameo at the bottom, all offering a wide range of music tastes and crowds.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Monday<\/span><\/p>\n<p>On a Monday you can head to Halo for a Halo Monday or Lost Paradise for a Lost Monday. Halo is a club in a converted church playing a range of music from R&#8217;n&#8217;B, pop to house with drinks starting from \u00a31.50. Lost Paradise plays a range of R&#8217;n&#8217;B music and is a cocktail bar that turns into a club.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/files\/2021\/04\/IMG_1496.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16938 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/files\/2021\/04\/IMG_1496-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/files\/2021\/04\/IMG_1496-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/files\/2021\/04\/IMG_1496-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/files\/2021\/04\/IMG_1496-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/files\/2021\/04\/IMG_1496.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Tuesday<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Toast is the place to be on a Tuesday. Hosted at Revolutions, it is a great night out, they even serve toast!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Wednesday<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Cameo hosts the biggest event on a Wednesday as this is where all the clubs, societies and sports teams go. With three different rooms, playing three different genres of music there is something for everyone.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Thursday<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Not every week but they&#8217;re becoming more often, there is an event on a Thursday called Suddenly Funk. This is one of my favourite events, it plays funk and disco music mixed by DJs, some of who are university students.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Friday<\/span><\/p>\n<p>You can go to most clubs on a Friday night but the best student night is Lollipop at The Old Fire Station. This is only for students and their plus ones and tickets are less than a fiver. There is three rooms playing a variety of music and multiple bars. It is such a great night out.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/files\/2021\/04\/IMG_2280.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16939 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/files\/2021\/04\/IMG_2280-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/files\/2021\/04\/IMG_2280-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/files\/2021\/04\/IMG_2280-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/files\/2021\/04\/IMG_2280-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/files\/2021\/04\/IMG_2280.jpg 1913w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Saturday\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>There aren&#8217;t many student nights this night but there are plenty of clubs to choose from.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Sunday<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Snakebite Sunday is hosted at Walkabout and is a favourite of many sports teams. You can get pints from as low as \u00a32 and other drinks are pretty cheap too!<\/p>\n<h4>Other clubs, bars and events<\/h4>\n<p>Eden cocktail bar hosts some club nights or you can go for just some cocktails. Turtle bay is a personal favourite, make sure you get there at Happy Hour for 2 for 1 cocktails! Tonic Social is another bar that offers drink deals in a swanky setting. There are plenty of other bars that do deals and student discount such as O&#8217;Neils, George Tapps and The Brass House.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the most popular events that happen in Bournemouth are TechBox (a techno event started by BU students), Apple Bum (an R&#8217;n&#8217;B and hip hop event) and Triple Cooked (disco, house, bass, garage and more).<\/p>\n<h4>Summer Ball<a href=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/files\/2021\/04\/UNADJUSTEDNONRAW_thumb_d61.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16946 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/files\/2021\/04\/UNADJUSTEDNONRAW_thumb_d61-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/files\/2021\/04\/UNADJUSTEDNONRAW_thumb_d61-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/files\/2021\/04\/UNADJUSTEDNONRAW_thumb_d61-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/files\/2021\/04\/UNADJUSTEDNONRAW_thumb_d61-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/microsites.bournemouth.ac.uk\/student-blog\/files\/2021\/04\/UNADJUSTEDNONRAW_thumb_d61.jpg 1086w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/h4>\n<p>At the end of each year, most universities host a &#8220;Summer Ball&#8221;, which is basically a big ball and dinner.
