Advantages: Very trendy and funky - the music's fab. Disadvantages: It can get rather crowded down there and the metal steps can be lethal!!

The CO2 Bar caters for all types of music tastes too, althought I think it depends what night you go on. On Wednesday (student night)it is usually quite funky, with some dance hits thrown in. There are also a few TV screens dotted about showing music videos etc. to keep you entertained.

This is a very funky little bar, offering a good choice of booze and tunes. [And it costs only £4 to get in on Student Nights (Wednesdays)!!]

The actual bar isnt that big, but has a small dance area and enough ledges to prop yourself up on after a few too many Vodballs. It is decked out in wood and chrome and looks very cool indeed... it's very simple but yet effective! (But watch out for the metal steps later on in the evening cos they can be leathal after a drink or two has been spilt on them- believe me, I know!).

The drinks on offer are good. On a typical student night, double vodka and redball usually costs about £2.50 and bottles of Zolensky, Cranberry or Blackcurrent Vodka Alcopops and Carlsberg usually cost £1. There is also a board showing other spirits on offer on a particular night also.
Finally, one major bonus of the CO2 Bar is that once you're in there, you have (free) access to the Bobby Browns Nightclub which is also incredibly trendy. A connecting door is opened later in the evening and you are able to go backwards and forwards as much as you like!
Overall, the CO2 Bar is an extremely cool little bar, although it is more geared towards students and people in their 20s. Student nights are highly recommended!!
Advantages: Beautiful people - very friendly Disadvantages: some nights it has an age restriction
There is ONLY one place to be on Wednesday nights in Brummy-Bobby Browns! At Birmingham Uni, this is THE best night out -
everyone knows it, and the tickets sell out the Friday before each
and every week. It's that good.
Bobbys is essentially five rooms, all linked together by small
corridors that are maybe too small, but make the place much more
friendly. The first room as you enter had cheesy music, so you'd
best get a pint and move on, up the stairs to the next bar. The bar
is on a different level and is more of a pass-through than an actual
room. On from there is a much larger dancefloor and bar with club
anthems. There are also stairs down to the plush CO2Bar which is beautiful - all glass and silver.
As I only go on Student night, I don't know what the drinks are
priced like on other nights - but £2 ...
Advantages: Quitessentially English and beautifully located Disadvantages: None
above called ?Take 2 Chefs? (website www.take2chefs.co.uk). This place is well worth a visit, the proprietors, Susie and Simon are fantastic creative chefs and occasionally run gourmet evenings.
The Langbury is well situated for exploring the local area, either by steam train (the line is 20 miles and runs from Bishops Lydeard to Minehead) or by car. Nearby Minehead is worth a visit - its just a small seaside town, with lots of interesting little shops and restaurants along with a few slot machines and kiss me quick type hats! The Quayside is quite pretty and lovely for a walk to enjoy the sea air. Dunster is also worth a visit with its ancient market place, cobbled street and pretty village buildings. A walk up a steep hill takes you to the castle which is well worth a visit and owned by the National Trust. ...
Advantages: cheap if you want, lots for imaginative young uns Disadvantages: lots of people, long waits for food
