Discover the best student nightclubs in Lincoln! From Quack at the Engine Shed to Superbull Fridays, here’s your ultimate guide to nights out in Lincoln.
Lincoln may be a historic cathedral city, but when the sun sets and the lectures are over, it transforms into one of the East Midlands’ most exciting student nightlife scenes. With a buzzing High Street, a campus-side venue that rivals arenas, and two of the UK’s most legendary student club nights, there’s no shortage of places to party.
Whether you’re a first-year looking for your first taste of a Lincoln student night out, or a returning student who wants to make the most of their evenings, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know about the best student nightclubs and nights out in Lincoln.
From Quack at The Engine Shed to Superbull Fridays, here’s your ultimate map to Lincoln’s nightlife.
The Engine Shed is the University of Lincoln’s flagship venue, and on Wednesday nights it becomes home to Quack!, the most iconic mid-week student night in the city.

Quack isn’t just a club night — it’s a tradition. Every Wednesday, thousands of students flood into the Engine Shed for an evening of cheap drinks, inflatable ducks, fancy dress themes, and student anthems blasting until 3am.
Exclusively for students: Entry is strictly student-only, meaning the crowd is always full of familiar faces.
Unbeatable drinks deals: Expect “Quack-tails” for around £3.50, £1 shots, and huge promotions at the Quack Summer Send-Off.
Themes and giveaways: From Halloween blowouts to end-of-term specials, every Quack feels different.
If you’re studying in Lincoln, missing Quack is like skipping your graduation photo — it’s a non-negotiable part of student life.
Every student city has that club night — the one that generations of students still talk about. In Lincoln, that night is The Superbull.
Running every Friday, Superbull is the longest-running and biggest student club night in the city, and possibly the UK. It takes over multiple venues including Bierkeller, Level and VOID Lincoln, creating a multi-room party that offers something for everyone.
Massive student crowds: With thousands of students attending weekly, this is the busiest night of the week in Lincoln.
Multiple music styles: From chart hits to Afrobeats, house, funky classics, and everything in between.
Student community vibe: It’s where entire societies and sports teams head after a big Friday social.
If you want to experience Lincoln nightlife at its peak, Superbull is the night you’ll be talking about years after you graduate.
Located on the High Street, Home Nightclub is one of the largest and most versatile venues in the city. Spread across six themed rooms and multiple floors, it’s perfect for groups with mixed tastes in music.
Union Tuesdays: A favourite with students, this night mixes R&B, house, and chart music across its floors.
Weekend events: Saturdays are busy with both students and locals, making it a good option if you’re after a big night outside of Quack or Superbull.
With VIP booths, cocktail bars, and multiple dance floors, Home is a Lincoln nightlife staple.
If your idea of a great night out is belting out the Backstreet Boys, throwing shapes to ABBA, and partying under a glitterball until sunrise, Popworld Lincoln is your go-to.
Cheesy hits all night: The playlist is unapologetically full of throwback bangers.
Affordable drinks deals: Perfect for students on a budget.
Central High Street location: Easy to get to and perfect for spontaneous nights.
A modern and stylish nightclub, VOID regularly partners with Superbull and other major nights to host events. It’s also a strong option for weekend nights out if you’re looking for a more “clubby” atmosphere compared to the themed chaos of Quack and Popworld.
For something a little different, STACK Lincoln has quickly become a favourite for students looking for a mix of food, drinks, and atmosphere before heading out. Think street food vendors, live entertainment, and buzzing social spaces.
It’s perfect for:
Pre-drinks before Quack or Superbull.
A more chilled night when you don’t fancy a full club session.
Hanging out with friends in between deadlines and socials.
While Quack! is the star of the show, the Engine Shed also plays host to other brilliant nights:
Propaganda (Some Saturdays): For indie and alternative lovers.
Live gigs and comedy: From chart-topping artists to stand-up comedians, Engine Shed is Lincoln’s cultural hub as well as its student nightclub mecca.
Get tickets early: Quack and Superbull often sell out — especially during freshers’ week.
Plan your pre-drinks: STACK, Bierkeller, or your student house are the best starting points.
Budget wisely: Nights out in Lincoln are student-friendly, but costs can add up across entry, drinks, and taxis.
Stay safe: Stick with your friends, keep your student ID handy, and use trusted taxi firms when heading home.
When it comes to Lincoln nightlife, two names dominate: Quack at the Engine Shed and Superbull Fridays. These are the nights you’ll hear about before you’ve even unpacked your bags at university, and they truly live up to the hype.
But Lincoln’s scene is more than just two events. With places like Home Nightclub, Popworld, VOID, and STACK offering variety, you’ll never be short of options for a night out. Whether you’re after cheesy sing-alongs, multi-room dance floors, or a more relaxed evening with friends, Lincoln has something to match your mood.
So, grab your student card, plan your pre-drinks, and get ready to dive headfirst into one of the UK’s most exciting student nightlife scenes.
