There’s some fantastic drink deals on offer, with 2-4-1 cocktails all night. And since the cocktails start at £5.95, that’s a pretty sweet deal.

Frequently asked questions
FAQs on the best student nights in Bath
Bath’s student nights rotate by venue and day, covering chart, indie, R&B and house. Mondays–Thursdays usually host the biggest student deals, while Fridays/Saturdays lean mainstream with higher entry. Check weekly listings and socials to match your music taste and budget.
Advance tickets and guestlists are usually cheaper than paying on the door. Expect lower prices midweek and during term. To save more, arrive early, use student ID and look for wristband or bundle offers during freshers and refreshers weeks.
Alongside chart and dance, Bath has alt and throwback nights featuring indie singalongs, pop-punk and 90s/00s classics. Filter events by genre on ticket pages or follow venues to catch theme nights and guest DJ takeovers that suit your scene.
Yes — happy hours, 2-for-1s and student-price house drinks are common before peak time. Read the small print (same-drink rules, last orders) and keep water on the table. Responsible drinking = better nights and better mornings.
Stick with friends, watch your drinks and plan the journey home before you go out. Use licensed taxis or reputable ride-share apps from well-lit pick-up points. If you feel unwell or unsafe, speak to venue staff — most have trained teams and welfare policies.
