BAR RATING & SUMMARY

Easily spotted by virtue of the glowing Olympic-style flame fluttering above its door, The College Bar sits at Holburn Junction on the far West end of Union Street. Converted from a former priests training college, the venue has successfully undertaken a big shift in purpose. The brick and granite features with drapes and leather sofas make it a comfortable location for the West End office crowd and the more upmarket social drinkers, while the discerning student customer favours the venue on week nights. Upstairs a small, trendy club called Babylon provides the opportunity to continue the fun until very late.
