UWESU bars are located at each site, providing you with great value food and drink, whether you need a pre-lecture breakfast or a cold beer to wind down afterwards. Search “Events at UWE” on Facebook for all the latest events, from open mic nights, to themed events and quizzes. Look out for the Lock-In on all sites, the best value night out in Bristol.
Catering for a caffeine fix or a chilled beer with mouth-watering menus at great prices. Our bars also host a variety of evening entertainment (live music, DJs, quizes, theme nights etc).
Escape Bar

Everyone needs a local pub and if you live on Frenchay Campus (or Stoke park) then the Escape Bar, opposite the main reception, is your local pub. Serving a selection of beers, lagers, wines, spirits and soft drinks, you will find refreshment here for any occasion. Whether it’s a half hour break before a lecture, or a few drinks before a night in the city centre, we can quench your thirst or fill your stomach. Breakfast (including the famous Full Monty) is from 8am and a well priced menu of snacks and pub classics is available until 9pm Monday - Friday.

Red Bar

Situated in the heart of the Frenchay campus, one floor up from Escape Bar, is Red Bar - a great cafe-bar by day and Frenchay campus’ own night club by night. Serving pizzas, wraps, burgers and pasta during the University day, and offering a full bar service throughout, Red Bar has a little something for everyone. We close down for the evening and re-open on selected nights. With the volume turned up and the flashing lights on, Red Bar is the heart of Frenchay night life.
