Liberty Fields is centrally located, so you’ll be right next to all the essential places. It’s an easy walk to the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, Cardiff University or the Cardiff Metropolitan University. Located just off Blackweir Fields, the residence is within easy reach of a good choice of student bars and restaurants – so you’ll never be short of things to see and do.
There are two local student pubs on offer just a stone’s throw from Liberty Fields; The North Star and the Blackweir Tavern, which has lots of affordable drinks and meals for less than £10. The North Star is a cool and quirky place with good quality food and drink. Alternatively, the Uni Kitchen also has some tasty options for food. It’s run for students, by students – so you know they just ‘get’ whatever it is you want.
Another popular student area for bars, pubs, restaurants and takeaways is Cathays, only 10 minutes’ walk away from Liberty Fields. It’s home to places such as Gassy Jacks, The Woodville and lots of other popular places to enjoy a great night out. Some of the restaurants you can choose from include Lilo Grill House, Daiquiri’s, Cafe 37, and Mina, so you’re sure to find something you like – or you could be adventurous and try something new.
Cardiff Student Union is around a 10 minute walk from Liberty Fields and hosts a range of nights for students. A popular night held each month is Treatment, Cardiff’s answer to The Warehouse Project, where a range of local and famous DJ’s have performed. Gorgon City, Annie Mac, Second City, Eats Everything and Disclosure, to name just a few, have all performed here and really raised the roof.
