[HDNG]IN TOWN:[EHDNG][PARA][GRPH]E3[EGRPH][STAT][BULL] Price of a pint of beer: ú1.60 [BULL] Glass of wine: ú1[ESTAT][PARA][BOLD]Cinemas:[EBOLD] For standard block-busters there are 2 Cannon Cinemas (3 screens and 1 screen) and for the slightly higher brow, The Phoenix (2) and the Penultimate Picture Palace (2).[PARA][BOLD]Theatres: [EBOLD]The Apollo has standard family entertainment with pantos at Xmas and summer specials after the end of term. Occasionally it also hosts concerts. The newly renovated Oxford Playhouse hosts more thespian offerings, including a few student productions. The Pegasus Theatre is on the fringe in every sense with experimental productions and a bit of a trek to get there. It also shows student productions.[PARA][BOLD]Pubs:[EBOLD][ITAL] Although expensive, Oxford's pubs have the same ubiquitous old world charm and the advantage of not being exclusively peopled by students. It would be unfair not to mention a few of Oxford's most studenty haunts, although it's also unfair to mention only these: The King's Arms ('The K.A.' as it's affectionately known) almost in the grounds of Wadham College; The Bear (full of sporty hearties); The Apollo (gay): The Royal Oak; The Turf; The Wheatsheaf; The Ampney; The Eagle and Child (CS Lewis and Tolkien used to quaff there) and The White Horse (especially popular with Trinity). [EITAL] Local brews: Morrells and Morland Bitters, Varsity, Graduate and College. [ITAL]Avoid: The Bulldog, The Chequers (anti-student).[EITAL][PARA][BOLD]Clubs/discos: [EBOLD]The Park End Club [ITAL]is possibly the principal student night spot outside the colleges[EITAL]. Oxford Venue has regular Indie and Techno nights, but it does cost a fiver[ITAL]. [EITAL]The Coven [ITAL]is okay once in a lifetime and [EITAL]Club Latino [ITAL]has its Sol-slurping fans.[EITAL][PARA][BOLD]Music venues: [EBOLD]James and The Hollies appeared at The Apollo not so long ago,[ITAL] but it can't be relied upon to produce hit bands regularly. [EITAL]The Jericho Tavern[ITAL], although smaller, constantly turns out excellent if less well-known bands [EITAL](A House, etc).[ITAL] In quest of quality noise, students also check out the Old Fire Station and, especially, the Oxford Venue mentioned earlier. [EITAL] And, of course, Radiohead and Ride are Oxford locals.[HDNG]UNIVERSITY:[EHDNG][PARA][GRPH]E2[EGRPH][STAT][BULL] Price of a pint of beer: ú1.15 [BULL] Glass of wine: ú1[ESTAT][PARA][BOLD]Bars:[EBOLD] There are 4 bars around the University, including 1 in the SU's centre on the Wheatley campus. The Headington Bar (cap 850), being the only place to smoke is very smoky and sleazy, but the new SU building on this site, due to open in September 1995, should improve things. Morals (540), a smart new bar in Morrell hall, is used more by students in the halls.[PARA][BOLD]Theatres:[EBOLD] The University has a drama room where students stage 6 or so productions a year, sending 2 shows last year to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.[PARA][BOLD]Clubs/discos/music venues:[EBOLD] Twice a week in Morals, and Fridays in the Headington,[ITAL] the decks are spun for your delectation. [EITAL]Also, regular gigs here.[PARA][BOLD]Others:[EBOLD] Clubs and societies usually hold events on a Monday night and there are lots of other regular ents such as multicultural evenings, karaoke, beer festivals and 3 balls (Freshers', Christmas, Summer).[HDNG]EATING OUT:[EHDNG][PARA][BOLD]Headington:[EBOLD] The University's refectory refects at lunchtime and early evenings, but having been refurbished, it may now be smart, but is expensive too. Alternatively there's the all-day snack bar and, for wholesome hole-fillers, the Health Bar.[PARA][BOLD]Wheatley:[EBOLD] The dining hall dishes up 3 meals a day.[PARA]At either site, there's always bar food, or for edible Oxford, see [ULNE]University of Oxford[EULNE].[PARA][PARA]
