Set in an old cinema, this great cave of a bar has literally put sport on the big screen. It has two massive ones, and two Sky boxes to ensure clashes are avoided. There is also a fantastic outdoor balcony which provides the best view for the footy or whatever is being shown. Free WiFi, charging points, printing facilities and heaps of great real ale at student friendly prices make this a huge favourite.
