Once a run-of-the-mill, city-centre drinking den, the Vulcan Lounge has undergone a charming & clever makeover that blends arty, boho touches with all the leather sofas, exposed wood & salvaged furnishings you’d expect in a trendily revitalised, student-friendly lounge/café/bar. It’s not all about the looks, though; you can drink your way through an interesting selection of beers & ales (maybe the American-brewed Blue Moon), or dip into the homemade vodka infusions, pitchers of cocktails including ‘sex on the beach’, & the best-selling ‘electric lemonade’. Food kicks off with breakfast & moves on to bargain-priced pub grub such as steak & chips or bangers & mash, plus some lighter pasta options – discounts are available if you have a Vulcan ‘black card’.
