GO Clubbing In Newcastle |
|
|
|
 |
One of the most used words to describe a night out clubbing
in Newcastle is ‘legendary’, so why not get
out there and experience it for yourself in true Geordie
style. As the biggest club in the area, Ikon [map], is often on the tip of party-goers tongues when planning a night out. There’s bars, there’s lasers, there’s a balcony but most importantly it has huge dance floor where you can strut, shimmy and show off with over 2,000 other clubbers. The music varies from night to night with Thursday’s R‘n’B LoveDough night and weekends being the most popular. But foam nights and guest appearances also feature on the events list of Ikon. This is one of the most popular clubs in the city, especially at weekends, so be prepared to queue alongside the notoriously scantily clad northern lasses. For one of Newcastle’s most famous club nights head to Foundation [map] on a Saturday night to experience Shindig. The club night itself has been going since 1991, but since it came to Foundation it has regularly packed out the 1300+ capacity club with dedicated clubbers. Shindig also attracts internationally renowned DJs like Tim Deluxe and Roger Sanchez. Foundation does have other nights which veer from the mainstream offerings elsewhere in town, with Disco Noir for techno loving shape throwers and Stone Love for swaggering indie kids. Banging out the best in house grooves and R‘n’B flavas is Newcastle’s newest dance den, The Attic [map] . With three floors in the heart of the city centre there’s plenty of opportunity to get your dance floor freak on at this stylish late bar and club. This club also has decent disabled access and disabled toilets on each floor. For an alternative to The Attic, try the Quayside chic of Sea [map]. Housed in an old fish market, you’ll find plenty of soul amidst the variety of tunes on the turntables, as R’n’B, disco and funky house all make the playlist. Patrons of this club tend to be footballers and stylish young things who wouldn’t feel out of place at some of London’s trendier clubs. But if you really want to get down with the funk soul brothers and sisters in Newcastle, The World Headquarters [map] is the place to get hip to the groove. With events on Thursday through to Saturday nights, you’ll find 60’s soul, hip hop, garage, and drum ‘n’ bass all draw clubbers to this funked out, uber-cool venue. The nemesis of cool, is cheesy and the Baja Beach Club [map] is Newcastle’s king of corny nights out. Adorned with plastic fish, bikini-clad barmaids and a huge shark suspended from the ceiling, the beach theme makes for a lively night. But it’s the music, which draws from classic cheesy tunes, that completes the package and makes this club incredibly popular. If your night out clubbing isn’t complete without scantily clad dancing girls, but you can’t stand fake fish, then head to Sam Jack’s [map], where you’ll find bar dancing and bargain drinks with a ‘Coyote Ugly’ theme. Unfortunately the water based club Tuxedo Princess [map] doesn’t have a sailor theme, but what it lacks in uniforms it makes up for in novelty. Firstly this club is housed on a converted ferry docked under the Tyne Bridge, secondly it has a rotating dance floor, which should be tried at least once during your stay in Newcastle, and thirdly it has up to seven rooms of fun including a karaoke lounge. On your Newcastle night on the town you could end up at one of these venues or one of the many others in the city, but wherever you go, the city promises a top night out!
