A Night Out At Habita – The Bar In Northumbria University – Perhaps Malaysia is an Islamic country where alcohol is a sensitive thing to the local Muslim, that why you will not see a bar or pub in a university. It’s not surprised to the Westerners that you can buy alcoholic drinks in campus. This is interesting to me, there’s 2 bars in Northumbria University, one is Habita, another is Red; one more is located at Domain, but only opens during event night, so no surprise that you can club in campus (But entrance is rather expensive, went in once at £10 per entry).
All house in the Student Union building, something you normally see in Malaysia, the Habita sells food for lunch, and dinner, and later at night it’s just drinks. It gets more happenings during football match day where students will gather around in there to catch the match on the big screens. Some times, it’s also used as an event place too!
My favourite drinks in Habita would either be a pint of Carling lager, or Strongbow cider (I know it’s girlish, but still great), because they are the cheapest @ £1.75/pint. 😀
