Freshers in Bath 2025: Student Nights Out At Sub 13

Starting university is a big step, and Freshers week is the time to get to know the city as well as your new flatmates. Bath may be compact, but when it comes to nights out it packs a lot in. From pubs and live music venues to club nights and cocktail bars, there’s plenty to explore whether you’re at the University of Bath or Bath Spa University.

One of the mainstays of student nightlife in Bath is Sub 13. Right in the city centre, just a short bus ride from both campuses, we’ve been part of the student scene for years. Our terrace is a popular meeting point before a night out, and the cocktail bar stays lively until late with DJs across the weekend. For Freshers 2025, expect a run of parties designed to help you settle into Bath life, meet people and enjoy the city at its best.

Student perks at Sub 13

We know budgets matter in your first term, so our Black Card makes things easier. Holders get:

  It’s free to sign up, and you can do it in advance here: links.sub13.net/blackcard.

With a Black Card in your pocket, you’ll be able to make the most of our cocktail menu without breaking the bank.

More to explore in Bath

Freshers week isn’t just about one venue, of course. The city has live music and comedy at Komedia, club nights across town, and plenty of student-friendly pubs. That variety is part of Bath’s appeal — you can mix and match depending on your mood. But when it comes to cocktails, a lively terrace, and student deals, Sub 13 is hard to beat.
