I've been out in Newcastle a couple of times, and the bars have were good but the clubs weren't anything special I didn't think. I've been on a weekend and for student nights too so it wasn't just the night I was there. Maybe I was just unlucky!

Reflections was a great place for those into there alternative music like me, As was Welly , Georgian , Spiders and old Silhouette.

I'd forgotten Sihlouette, and I lived behind it for 6 years!

Does anybody remember the Manxman? I went in a couple of times but that was about it, just too far off the beaten track.

Yup, went a few times, was fairly awful!

Great idea but like you said , It was out the way.

Dingwalls was another great place for bands , Henry's should have featured in grand theft auto.

Henry's was the Den of iniquity & everything goes.

used to get some good cowboy pictures at regent on a saturday .

Its full of young people who like cheap booze and are not too keen on mainstream pop, both my sons enjoy going there and they are not weirdos! In fact one of the reasons they enjoy the place is it is not full of chavs who want to cause trouble after a belly full of beer.

depends on your definition of "weirdo" I guess.

So your a weirdo then

Nowt wrong with Spiders (aside from its location, I suppose).

Plenty of people go there to listen to decent alternative music rather than pop/dance music.
