[PUSH]push[EPUSH][ITAL]plugs: The Ram, Kingston Hill, Gazebo.[EITAL][PARA][BOLD]Clubs/discos:[EBOLD] Student nights at Options (ú1 and early happy hour) are a[ITAL] break from its usual Sharon'n'Tracey clientele.[EITAL] Wednesday night, the student venue is The Ritzy (ú3) for club, indie and rock sounds. Any night Bacchus (ú3) has[ITAL] the best [EITAL]indie sounds around.[PARA][BOLD]Others:[EBOLD] Kingston offers many pastoral pastimes such as boat trips on the Thames, which can be booked for evening parties.[HDNG]UNIVERSITY:[EHDNG][PARA][GRPH]E3[EGRPH][STAT][BULL] Price of a pint of beer: ú1.30 [BULL] Glass of wine: ú1.10[ESTAT][PARA][BOLD]Bars:[EBOLD] There's a bar at each of the 4 sites and 1 at the sports ground.[PARA][BOLD]Theatres:[EBOLD] There are 3 customised theatres around the University, [ITAL]the best at Penrhyn Road.[EITAL][PARA][BOLD]Clubs/discos:[EBOLD] Regular Friday night all-purpose disco at Penrhyn Road.

Multiple regular themed nights at the various sites, including 'Techno' on Fridays at Knights Park, and 'Temptation' (80s night) every other Thursday at Kingston Hill.[PARA][BOLD]Music venues:[EBOLD] Live music lives on in the bar at Penrhyn Rd, the hall and the refectory (each with a capacity of around 450) and recently they've hosted some the likes of Des'ree, Urban Species and Kirsty McColl.[PARA][BOLD]Balls: [EBOLD]Several balls every term run by clubs and the Guild.[HDNG]EATING OUT:[EHDNG][PARA]The University provides a 'Diner' and 3 refectories, 1 at each site, open for 3 [ITAL]school-dinnerish[EITAL] meals a day. The Guild offers 'Gannets' at Penrhyn Road, Kingston Hill and Knight's Park. Between these, almost every student is catered for, [ITAL]because a full tummy in the many local cafes leaves an empty pocket[EITAL]. However, for a special evening, maybe candlelight for 2, try frequenting local Indian, Chinese, Thai, Mexican and American restaurants [ITAL]and the essential Pizza Hut. Recommended for student budgets and tastes, there's TGI Friday and Calender (Mexican and cocktails). Vegetarians don't need to worry.[EITAL]
