It’s no secret that Liverpool has an impressive nightlife scene – and with a handful of universities, it certainly makes a top night out for any student.
It’s also one of the cheapest cities for a night out in the UK. With £3.50 doubles and 3 for £5 Jägerbombs and shots, you’re sure to enjoy a great night – even if you’re living off Pot Noodles and stretching your student loan as much as you can.
In Liverpool City Centre, there are pubs, bars, and clubs on every corner. From Popworld to 24 Kitchen Street, Liverpool nightlife has something for everyone.
However, if you’re a new student in the city, or you’ve recently turned 18, you might not be aware of some of the best venues or student nights. That’s why, at After Dark, we’ve partnered with some of Liverpool’s top venues to make the ultimate night out for students.
Read on for some of the best student events to look forward to this year, whether you’re looking to celebrate your A-level results (or try to cheer yourself up!), or meet new people at Freshers 2022.
Bonkers A-Level Results Party
Thursday 18th August
10pm – 6am
£1- £4
Awaiting any results can be a stressful time – but your A-levels can shape the rest of your life. Will you get into the uni of your choice, or land that job role you had your eye on?
Well, on the 18th of August, you’ll find out. Get together with your friends and celebrate at the best A-level results party in Liverpool – the Bonkers A-Level Results Party at BaaBar.
BaaBar is one of the best Liverpool bars for students, located on Fleet Street near Concert Square. Known for its lively nights, DJ Matt Hibbert, and their classic £2 shooters, where else would you want to be on A-level results night?
Expect BaaBar resident Matt Hibbert and DJ Shaz to provide the tunes and good times. From 12:30 till 1:30, you can enjoy the all-new Bonkers Hour – featuring cheesy sing-a-long house music, clubland rave, and EDM classics.
It wouldn’t be a celebration without confetti canyons and co2 blasts – as well as free inflatables and glowsticks, to add to the party vibe. And who said Tango Ice Blasts were just for the cinema?
At Bonkers Events, you can enjoy a delicious tango ice blast while dancing to Matt Hibbert’s quality mixes.
Tickets cost between £1.00 and £4.00 (+booking fee) depending on when you book them. The night starts at 10:00 pm on Thursday 18th August and finishes at 6:00 am on Friday 19th August. Get there before 12:30 to be part of the new A-Level Special video!
