The Graduate

Those who were fans of the Terrace will be glad to know that Shane has relocated up the road at the pub formerly known as The Old Corner Cupboard. Now known as The Graduate (due to its proximity to Staffordshire University) it, like the Terrace Inn, has undergone some changes.
Previously the pub was seen by students as a «locals only» establishment and whenever you entered, you normally struggled to feel comfortable. It also had a reputation for being a dive, a dark gloomy place.
It is now firmly a student pub and is lively pretty much every night of the week. Many clubs and societies at the university have their sponsorship here which means Wednesday’s pre Gobble festivities are loud and bubbly.
Thursdays see drinks promotions and Sunday is carvery day although food is served every day from a cheap student friendly menu.
The one great thing about The Graduate is its unpredictability. If Shane is in the mood, anything could happen! For instance, the «launch day» saw hot-​tubs, a free BBQ and a free bar as well as mayhem, dancing on the bar and laughs galore. Even though all nights aren’t this crazy, it is funny to walk in for a spontaneous quick one and see Shane dancing around.
There are retro games and pinball machines all over the pub as well as two games rooms with dartboards and arcade machines.
For students at Staffordshire University, The Graduate is a must visit pub.
