text: As a student union a night at Potterrow does what it says on the tin It is cheap n cheerful and oh so cheesey The perfect combination one might say for a night of carefree laidback fun But I would approach with caution I believe a certain level of inebriation is necessary for its enjoyment that is to say it is not the kind of place I would like to find myself whilst sobernnFirst impressions were not favourable unfortunately We arrived en masse quite early as buyonegetonefree drinks had been advertised between pm and pm and naturally we wanted to take full advantage of this Imagine our disappointment when bar staff claimed ignorance of said dealleaving us stuck in an empty bar with full priced drinks when we could be at home drinking at a fraction of the price Now is not there a law somewhere about false advertising Ha I am only slightly bitternnOnce recovered I realised it was not all that bad The seating area is pretty sweet lots of tables and plenty of sofas all underneath this big black dome It is odd I felt as though I was outside but I was not I liked itnnAnother major plus is that there are LOTS of toilets albeit they are all the way downstairs but there are lots of them Any girl who is ever had to pee on a night out will never underappreciate an abundance of toilets and I was grateful for never having to queuennWhen the upstairs area opens up the nights title Big Cheese comes into its own cheese really is the only word that describes it The dancefloor is a pretty decent size and there is another bar area up here with some more seating It is a good layout but it is all pretty standardthere is nothing remotely special about the placennIf it had been up to me I would have chosen to go somewhere else but despite this I still had a really fun night Maybe I am getting snobby and starting to forget that there is nothing wrong with a cheesey student night every now and then
