[HDNG]TOWN:[EHDNG][PARA][GRPH]E2[EGRPH][STAT][BULL] Price of a pint of beer: ú1.20 [BULL] Glass of wine: ú1.20[ESTAT][PARA][BOLD]Cinemas:[EBOLD] The Cannon (with 2 screens) is just across the street [PARA]from the University.[PARA][BOLD]Theatres:[EBOLD] The Venn Street Arts Centre shows touristy shows - [PARA]not that Huddersfield is really what you'd call a tourist resort.[PARA][BOLD]Pubs:[EBOLD] [ITAL]Some good real ale pubs - this is Yorkshire after all - and [PARA]generally welcome to student custom. [EITAL][PUSH]push[EPUSH][ITAL]plugs: Zetland Arms,[PARA]College Arms (both opposite the University); Yates Wine Bar [PARA](near University); The Union Bank (off Main St, student hacks); [PARA]the Terrace (featuring 'the mean 13', 13 different beers with a [PARA]challenge to drinkers: drink a pint of each and win a T-Shirt); Rat [PARA]and Ratchet (studenty, 12 real ales and sometimes live music).[EITAL][PARA][BOLD]Clubs/discos:[EBOLD] [ITAL]Some local clubs are truly naff and the many [PARA]students who frequent them do so with their tongues firmly [PARA]planted in their cheeks and manage to have a ticklin' time. [EITAL][PUSH]push[EPUSH][ITAL][PARA]plugs: Johnny's (the Cliff Richard of clubs - it has withstood the [PARA]test of time - naff, students on Mondays, ú1); Calisto's (small, not [PARA]naff, ú1). The SU is buying the Bel Air club.[EITAL][PARA][BOLD]Music venues:[EBOLD] Classical at the Town Hall and elsewhere, but the [PARA]Union's the only live venue for [ITAL]less stuffy[EITAL] sounds apart from a [PARA]few pubs. Leeds and Bradford are an easy trip (see [ULNE]University [PARA]of Leeds[EULNE] and [ULNE]University of Bradford[EULNE]).[HDNG]UNIVERSITY:[EHDNG][PARA][GRPH]E1[EGRPH][STAT][BULL] Price of a pint of beer: ú1.05 [BULL] Glass of wine: 95p[ESTAT][PARA]Flyers come out each Monday, giving the low-down on what's [PARA]going down each week - [ITAL]a must.[EITAL][PARA][BOLD]Bars:[EBOLD] (5) There are 3 bars in the Union, 2 others in halls of Residence..[PARA][BOLD]Films:[EBOLD] The film club has recently shown Reservoir Dogs, True [PARA]Romance and other such gentle fare.[PARA][BOLD]Clubs/discos:[EBOLD] Almost every night, students can go clubbing to [PARA]unconsciousness in the Black Hole (cap 650), although this is due[PARA]to close soon. Thursday nights are 'Bop till you Cop' nights (or [PARA]'Bop till you Barf' as most students put it), when 60s and 70s [PARA]music spins till late.[PARA][BOLD]Cabaret: [EBOLD]Once a month, the usual suspects; Lee Evans, Jeff [PARA]Green, etc.[PARA][BOLD]Music venues:[EBOLD] Band appearances are for the most part run by an[PARA]outside agency who keep the door money and the Union gets the[PARA]bar takings. Mainly local bands, but is also big enough to attract [PARA]some of the [ITAL]better [EITAL]bands that tour student unions, such as [PARA]recently, BjÜrn Again, Oui 3, Chumbawamba and XC-NN. St [PARA]Joseph's, a small sort of prefab affair, is also used for regular [PARA]sounds. As well as the big bands, there's a regular jazz band slot[PARA]and classical concerts, or, more usually string quartet [PARA]background music.[PARA][BOLD]Other:[EBOLD] Various balls and dinners, providing a good range, all [PARA]revolving around alcohol and usually with drinks promotions.[HDNG]EATING OUT:[EHDNG][PARA]The refectory areas look like the London Underground during the [PARA]blitz, serving sarnies 'n' pies all day. The Union has a cafeteria. [PARA]For other choicer chomps, try pub lunches ([ITAL]The Royal Swan in [PARA]town[EITAL]). [ITAL] Local eateries are not plentiful and offer more by way of [PARA]value than quality. Some are worth [EITAL][PUSH]push[EPUSH][ITAL]plugging anyway: [PARA]Mensahib (cheap studenty Indian); Blue Rooms (good vegetarian, [PARA]not so cheap); Shabab (upmarket Indian); Paris II (French, not [PARA]cheap, but good value); Trattoria (Italian)[EITAL]. Fast food flows in rivers[PARA]of grease throughout the city. [ITAL]Try Abrakebabra for kebabs, [PARA]pizzas and, er, witty name[EITAL]. Some stay open till 3.30am.
