SAE Institute

Delicious Food and Drink

There is so much going on here, as the food scene has developed over the last few years. Whether you wish to sample the delights of The Oldest Chinatown in Europe, enjoy a night out at The Baltic Market, or you’re just looking for a cheap feed at the end of a hard week, you have plenty of choices to fill up on close to the best accommodation.

If you are after food on the run, the Guild of Students has all you need as a break from the day from your student room and studies. For more budget food options you can find places such as Big Bowl Noodle on Berry Street (opposite the iconic Bombed Out Church – St Luke’s) for a bowl of hearty noodles to suit any palate.

The Infamous Bold Street

Bold Street has become a beating heart of cuisine and is home to so many restaurants of many varied cuisines to eat that it is a favourite for tourists and students from all over, being busy every day of the week, and isn’t far from our student accommodation property.

The quality is outrageous, from the wonderful breakfasts in Café Tabac, through the brilliant Mowgli for Indian street food and The Italian Club(s) for perfect pasta and pizza, to Nolita Cantina for meaty escapades and Bakchich for perfect Lebanese food at a good price.

The Most Important Meal of The Day

Students all know the value of a good hearty breakfast (especially if you’ve been out the night before!). Don’t fancy cooking in your student accommodation? Well, there’s also a great breakfast and coffee scene!

Vegetarian and Vegan Options

Another long-standing student favourite is the vegetarian café The Egg on Newington – providing a range of meals and snacks for a very good price.

If you’re a vegan there is also Potts Coffee, a trendy vegan cafe on Slater Street that serves carefully sourced coffee, plant-based full English breakfasts, vegan burgers, sandwiches, pancakes and more!

European Capital of Culture

There is always a big cultural event happening it seems, and for history generally, there is something on every corner to support student interest. It was also the first English city to be awarded European Capital of Culture in 2008, a year that was full of vibrancy and spectacular celebrations that left nothing settled.

UNESCO had in fact, granted several areas World Heritage Status, including the waterfront and the three graces that sit alongside the River Mersey. They later removed the status due to them objecting to the developments of the famous waterfront. The developments have created more student accommodation, more jobs, more shops and have enhanced the prosperity of the city and quality of life.

The Waterfront

The waterfront is a spectacular area where you’ll find the infamous Albert Dock, popular with the whole city. The Albert Dock is a stunning riverside location, utilising classic listed buildings to house wonderful bars and restaurants for a classy night out on the town, and isn’t far from our student property!

At the Albert Dock you’ll also find the Tate art gallery, which is home to countless modern art exhibitions, meaning that even if you’re a student low on cash there are plenty of amazing things you can do for free through the week when venturing out of your Liverpool student homes.

The Beatles Museum and Exhibition can also be found here with halls full of nostalgia and a history so rich in music, Liverpool was awarded the status of World Capital City of Pop by the Guinness Book of World Records, as its position as a home to some of the biggest pop makers in history – from bands such as The Beatles, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Dead or Alive, and Atomic Kitten to singers Elvis Costello, Rebecca Ferguson and Cilla Black.

Baltic Triangle

Further down the road there is the Baltic Triangle, which in the last few years has quickly gained popularity, culminating in the triumphant Baltic Market, which is home to popular street food stalls, a bar and many live events.

The Three Graces

Of course, we can’t forget The Three Graces on the Pier Head that are icons of the waterfront. The Three Graces consist of the Royal Liver Building, The Cunard Building and the Port of Liverpool Building and define one of the most beautiful skylines in the world.

Chinatown

Close to our student properties is Chinatown, a spectacular part of the city being the oldest Chinatown in Europe, with the largest Chinese Arch outside of China itself. Chinese New Year celebrations are truly awe-inspiring each year and the celebration each time is always on form.

Student Life

With a thriving party scene, there are clubs and bars for all tastes and students, from house to pop to rock, for you and your group. There are a few different areas of town that have lively clubs, bars, and pubs to enjoy, so there’s never a dull nightlife when you’re staying at our properties.

If you are into a traditional pub crawl student night, the Georgian Quarter is full of old-fashioned boozers where you can make friends with locals that will last a lifetime.

Not far from our student accommodation locations is Concert Square, a great place to be most nights of the week, with bars and clubs surrounding an open square site, such as Modo, Fusion, and Level, with VIP rooms to book for free or with a deposit. Set up the pool table, enjoy a beverage and then dance the night away before returning to your student Liverpool accommodation. It’s a party house every night to fill your memories.

Home of The Beatles

Mathew Street is the birthplace of The Beatles and home to The Cavern Club where they famously played shows in the early days before the studio. It is a tourist mecca these days of course, and the whole street is full of bars, live performances, and partying until the early hours each and every day of the week. You only need to Google Mathew Street and you’ll see how much of a student hub the place really is.

Music Festivals

Every year there are staple parts of the events calendar, especially from the summer through January. There is the Liverpool International Music Festival (LIMF), which utilises the beauty of Sefton Park to stage big concerts. There is also Liverpool Sound City, another popular festival with students and has locations in various venues around the city centre.

Live Gigs

There is also the Africa Oye, promoting support for African music, art, and cuisine in Sefton Park. The Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon combines both music and sport in a spectacular way. There is plenty to see and do as a student.
