Going out is a great opportunity to flex your social muscles, get a change of scenery, and enjoy activities that you can’t ordinarily enjoy at home.
And Coventry has plenty of venues and activities for those willing to take a step out of the front door.
But, whether you’re on a tight budget, have had enough socialising for one month, or it’s your turn to entertain, you can still have a great evening in the comfort of your own home.
Going Out: Have A Flutter At Grosvenor Casino
Coventry’s Grosvenor Casino is one of the largest in the UK and has 20 table games, a mass of slot machines, and a poker room that can accommodate up to 120 individual players. As well as on-site food, you will also find some traditional casino style entertainment in Lady G’s bar. A casino night is a great opportunity to get dressed up and spend some of your spare cash.
Staying In: Bring Vegas To Your Home
Casinos are great, but unless you’re in Las Vegas, most bricks-and-mortar casinos lack the kind of variety that many players want. They also don’t have the bonuses and offers that UK Bitcoin casino sites have to offer. According to crypto editor Sergio Zammit, crypto casinos are more prevalent than ever, so why not get some friends round, dress up, and play casino games on your mobiles? You can even set up a swanky cocktail bar in the corner of the room.
Going Out: Grab A Bite To Eat On Spon Street
Spon Street is a wonderful restored medieval street in the heart of Coventry. As well as incredible architecture that looks like something out of a Discworld novel, you can find cafes and restaurants, as well as traditional old pubs. Venues on the street commonly take part in live events and festivals in the city, too. Taxis are readily available to take you to the city’s clubs or on to a venue like the Catch Twenty Two Club Lounge.
Staying In: Host A Themed Night
Rather than enduring the bustle of Spon Street to enjoy an Indian at Turmeric Gold, you can always host your own Indian night at home. Watch some YouTube tutorials, make some curries from scratch, and grab some Kingfisher beers for your guests. There’s plenty of Indian movies and series on Netflix for after-dinner entertainment, or listen to a Bhangra playlist on Spotify.
Going Out: Party All Night At The Catch Twenty Two Club Lounge
The Catch Twenty Two Club Lounge is billed as a sophisticated late-night venue. It serves cocktails and offers music from DJs as well as live acts throughout the week. Although it’s quite a small venue, Catch Twenty Two is popular so you should expect to queue at weekends, but it’s only a short cab ride from the town centre so is a great venue for after-dinner partying.
Staying In: Learn Some TikTok Dances
This won’t be an activity for everybody, but if you have a group of friends that like to get a bit silly and enjoy dancing, why not cast TikTok to your TV and learn some of the latest dances that are going viral. TikTok itself lists the most recent dance trends on its site, making them easy to find.
Going Out: Try To Escape From Clue HQ
Escape rooms are great activities for groups of friends, and they’re not as imposing as they sound. A small group of you will attempt to find and solve clues and riddles to help you escape the room within a set time. Clue HQ offers fine nighttime entertainment for the whole family in groups of up to 6 people.
Staying In: Host A Boardgame Night
Alternatively, you can enjoy the thrill of an escape room without even having to leave your front room with board game-based escape rooms and puzzles. In fact, modern board games come in every style of game and cover every conceivable genre. Tired of escaping rooms? Try escaping a monster-laded dungeon instead.
Going Out: Hit The Track For Some Go Karting
Racers aged 8 and up can try their hands at go-karting, thanks to the 500-metre TeamSport go-karting track. Racers can reach speeds of up to 40 miles per hour and all the necessary equipment is provided, as well as safety and instructional talks. There is a licensed bar on the premises, and you can order food, so why not enjoy an evening’s racing with family and friends?
Staying In: Play Some Video Games
While you might not have the room or the resources to build your own go-karting track at home, you don’t need to. Consoles can offer an experience close to go-karting, while immersive VR experiences are as close to motor racing as you can get without having to don racing gloves or sit through a safety talk. You won’t quite smell heated rubber, but you also don’t have to drive to and from the venue or worry about parking.
