The Alibi

"The Alibi, a small and frequently overlooked pub, is a great little spot in town. Open until 1:00am every night except Sunday, the Alibi is located in the type of place where if you didn't know it was there, you might not ever find it. Once you do, you'll be glad you did.

"There's a one pound cover charge that a friendly guy in a black leather jacket lives to remind us of, but spending the night at The Alibi is definitely worth the pound. There are a series of small tables, along with a cozy back room where people sit on the floor with a pint in hand.

"A DJ is usually on hand playing an eclectic but respectable line-up of songs that acts as a nice backdrop to the already chill atmosphere. Often people are dancing in the back, but if you don't feel like dancing, don?t worry about it. Most people come for the alcohol anyway.

"Every night before 11:00pm students get 50p off of every pint they buy (if you think you'll be drinking a few pints after 11:00, my advice is to just stock up beforehand to save your money, and have a full table for the night), which is another great perk."

So it costs a quid to get in (which is demanded with menaces by a guy who thinks he's an extra in the Sweeney), there are no chairs in the back room, if you dance there you'll trip over someone sitting on the floor with a pint, and the music is "eclectic but respectable".
