Monday
Fun Factory
If you like it alternative, if you like it rocking, and most of all, if you like it loud then there is only thing for it – and that’s Fun Factory. This legendary student night has been brightening up those dreary Monday nights for years now, and is showing no sign of slowing down as devotees continue to wake up every Tuesday morning complete with their weekly hangover and ringing ears. Comprising a playlist including the likes of System of a Down, Kasabian, Foo Fighters, Rage Against the Machine, Reel Big Fish and Biffy Clyro, we think that Fun Factory is the biggest and best alternative night this side of the Severn Bridge – come along and see if you agree!
Tuesday
Comedy Club
Sit back, enjoy your drink, and laugh at a selection of the funniest people that Britain has to offer. Comedy Club selects the finest young talent on the comedy circuit and brings them directly to your Union for a stupidly cheap price. See the next big thing in the comedy world before they start charging too much for a ticket at a venue where you can’t even see their face. The intimate atmosphere of CF10 is perfect for this hilarious night, and combined with the cheapest drinks you’ll find in Cardiff, there is no reason not to smile. Bring your friends along for a memorable night of giggles and the occasional groan; you definitely won’t be disappointed.
Wednesday
The Lash
However you choose to spend your afternoon, make sure you head to Solus on Wednesday nights for The Lash, the Union’s brand new dirty little secret. As well as all the best chart and cheese, expect games on the stage so filthy that the changing room showers don’t stand a chance. There will be weekly drinks promos and a scheme designed to reward your chosen club or society every time you go. Make sure you don’t miss what could be the best team bonding session of the week; Get on…The Lash!
Thursday
Bar Exchange
Buy! Sell! Higher! Lower! Get ready for trading at Bar Exchange. This stock market is more famous for it’s stupidly cheap drinks prices than today’s interest rates. Throughout the night keep your eye on the big screens as prices will go up and down depending on the current state of the market, and watch out for the market crash when drinks prices can fall to £1.
