"Surprisingly hard to just get a drink. Lots of places with a bar, but only if you're seated and preferably having a meal."

"Decent place for a pint before/after an event at De Montfort Hall, tv screens/pool tables, heated smoking area and reasonable prices."

"If spending the night and can't get a bed, don't sleep in waiting areas. VERY cold, benches uncomfy. 30p for the toilets or jump turnstyle if quiet, kip in cubicles. Not classy or comfy but it's warm."

"Despite previous tips, no problems with bar staff whatsoever. Drinks however are incredibly expensive - never paid £4.65 for a JD&Coke at a gig before."

"Good bitter, brilliant staff, rock on the sound system. Definitely worth a pint."

"When getting a taxi, avoid the black cabs. Direct (01522 567567) are much cheaper."
