About the Club
Opening hours given are for the main FiveSixEight bar. This is a large modernised room with painted brick walls and a concrete-topped bar, believed to be the longest in any student union in the UK. "FiveSixEight"? Well, (of course), it's the number millilitres in a pint and reflects the progress from Imperial to SI units that this learned institution will have helped promote!
The adjacent Union Bar is open from 5pm but is used primarily for college Club and Society events. It is light oak floored and panelled and behind the oak bar is the Union's pewter tankard collection: each tankard belongs to a senior elected role within the Union and is engraved with the names of the various post-holders over the years.
Real ales are supplied through a contract with Molson Coors. During the Christmas and Easter university vacations, the bars will often reduce the range, serving only one cask beer, or just keg.
Food is just what you might expect to suit students, but again offers good value. The bar website lists various deals.
