Towards the eastern side of the city centre close to the University campus buildings can be found another concentration of pubs and bars that are popular with students centred close to Jordan Well and Gosford Street.
For a more sedate experience, try Craven Street, set amongst Victorian-era watchmaker's cottages in the suburb of Chapelfields, has several traditional pubs.
There is an extremely limited gay scene in Coventry: the city is not very gay-friendly and lacks any real gay nightlife. The only option is Rainbows, close to the University, this is a fairly small establishment with a 'clique'-y crowd - expect to be treated like new meat on your first visit. For a much better scene, head out to Birmingham's Gay Village.
