Drinking Drinking Drinking Drinking Drunk.

A lot of this happens at University. In fact, more often than not, TOO much of this happens at University. Sometimes it seems like it is the ONLY thing that happens at University.

This is all well and good. In fact, AUDIO-FREq positively encourages hedonistic behaviour of all varieties. But there may come a time when the cheeky pre-lecture 'Snakey-B' in the Goose just wont cut it anymore. Then what happens?!?

Ladies and Gents, fear not! Birmingham boasts a formidable array of opportunities for the casual alcoholic. From chic cafes to bustling city bars, a veritable cornucopia of establishments awaits you.

And without further ado, we are proud to present two of our city faves; The Victoria and Island Bar.

The Vic' is a cracking little pub, tucked away just off Suffolk street. Sleepy boozer by day, this place really comes alive after 10pm, especially on weekends, where you can find Birmingham’s bright young(ish) things schmoozing and drinking into the early hours. A fantastic selection of well priced drinks, as well as some great affordable cocktails means that even the most discerning punter leaves with a (tipsy) smile on their face. The vibe in the pub is great, with the Brummie multitudes spreading through the pubs many rooms, and spilling out the back door onto the street. Expect swing and soul music blasted through tinny speakers and be prepared to cotch on the floor because seating is a tad scarce, but if its atmosphere and a relaxed vibe you are after, then look no further than The Vic. ***** http://www.thevictoriabirmingham.co.uk/ *****




Oh Island Bar. How you have wooed us with your £3.50 cocktails from 5-8pm every day of the week. The Island Bar is one of those quite special little places. You can be guarenteed brilliant drinks from start to finish at great prices, but the joys of this establishment dont end there, oh no! Weekly open mic nights, DJ's at the weekends, eco-friendly surroundings and speciality cocktails every day are all the rage at this place. And don’t forget the friendly atmosphere! No stuffiness here, just "good ole' fashioned fun ya'll", set to a soundtrack of classic music.

The best part is that both of these lovely places are but a piss-heads crawl from New St. Station, so it’s easy to stagger your merry way home at the end of a night.
