i love 256, the bouncers working here make my night every time. Arthur, Ray, Foisan, Taz and Bilal are always lovely and treat us with respect. My favourite club ever.

I’ve been going to 256 since first year and now I’m in second year. Everytime I have been (which is many💆🏽‍♀️) ray and arthur and the rest of the security team have been so so caring and will always go above and beyond, and it makes my night. To say they work in the cold for many hours, they deserve their flowers. They deserve a pay raise rise immediately xx

Honestly, feel for the bar staff here, especially on a Sunday. Watched a bartender calmly explain that the kitchen was running behind, and a few UoM students reacted like he’d just revoked their LinkedIn Premium. The poor guy was just doing his job while dealing with customers who have the social skills of damp cutlery. Manners are still free, skiing isn’t a personality trait, and being at a Russell Group uni doesn’t mean you’re above waiting for your chips. Some of these lot are one group project away from a full moral collapse. #MannersAreFree #ScaredForTheFutureGenerationOfProfessionals #SkiingIsNotAPersonalityTrait #YoureInASocietyAtAUniNotALeague #RahWheresMyBaccy
