  1. A

    The Grand Hotel

    Formerly Cooney's, this place is now under new ownership and has a more upmarket vibe than in its last incarnation. It serves great cocktails and hosts regular 'College Nights' (Wednesdays) and 'Retro Nights' (Thursdays).

    Ivory

    This glitzy nightclub starts its week as a uni hang-out – with free pizzas after 11pm – and ends it as a party spot with two floors, two atmospheres and a lot of skirt.

    Hotel Illawarra

    Best suited to the cocktail-sipping funky set, this complex has the red-hued Amber bar and Cucina Illawarra, which dishes up Mediterranean fare, tapas-style.

    North Wollongong Hotel

    This has the biggest beer garden known to man, and the interior is as cool as some of the students who hang out here. It heaves on weekends.
