I think that maybe geographically dependent.
I went to uni in Nottingham and the clientele was a mix of middle-age stag/hen parties and the older working class - I never saw or heard of students going other than as a toilet stop.
But that's a city with a selection of good and reasonably priced pubs, whereas in say London it makes sense due to just how much cheaper it is.
- rahoulb 9y agoThey are incredibly good at targeting their pubs. In Leeds there are ones that are aimed at students, ones aimed at day-time drinkers, ones aimed at night-life and dancers - all based on where the pub is located.
- jen20 9y agoSam Smith’s for the win in London. In Bath, Wetherspoons had one of the better real ale selections for a while, but there are now plenty of craft places (albeit more expensive).
- dbbk 9y agoWetherspoons is very popular with students in Nottingham. Every time I go in the Gooseberry Bush it's half students.
- eertami 9y agoI should've added that my observations were only from the city centre pubs, Uni of students (not Trent) and are a fair few years old. Maybe the 9k fees have really taken a toll, but I struggle to get why anyone would go to a spoons when you've got The Organ Grinder and The Hand & Heart only 8 minutes away...
