Varsity in Stoke-on-Trent is in Hanley, the heart of the nightlife in this city.
I went on a Monday night as Mondays in Hanley are Student Night, and ofcourse the prices are reflective of this. Most drinks from what I could gather were only £1, but I believe this was on the basis of having a Varsity card which was provided on entry.
The drinks weren’t cheap in terms of quality however which I found quite surprising due to comparable bars elsewhere. There wasn’t much of a queue either and the bar wasn’t understaffed.
Going in initially, the venue seemed packed, but it wasn’t as bad as first feared and we actually managed to get a table. The chairs are comfortable tub-style ones, with sofas every now and again. Running along the window are big tables with big sofa-style benches which fit three people either side, four people at a push.
The toilets are situated upstairs and the men’s were relatively clean and well kept. Tables and the bar were cleaned quite regularly so there weren’t piles of drinks lying around from previous customers.
I can only give Varsity in Hanley a 4-star review as I haven’t given the food a go, and I haven’t been on any other evening than a Monday, which is Student night, so it is unfair to give it my full support when I haven’t had the full experience, so to speak.

Varsity are a small group of bars popular with students, serving a variety of beers, wines, spirits and cocktails as well as a selection of English dishes. The decor is modern yet relaxing with several large tables to sit around and eat or drink.
