A Rundown of the Best Clubs in Newcastle for you

Arguably Newcastle’s most infamous attraction is its night scene; if you enjoy a variety of nights out, you have 100% come to the right uni. No horrific chain clubs like Pryzm taking over the clubbing scene, and because of multiple club nights with different music styles running each day, none of this ‘everyone trying to get a ticket to the Student Union’ as they have to struggle through at the likes of Loughborough and Warwick uni. 

Mondays consist of Oops Mondays at Grey club, Space Mondays at Bohemia and Kandi Island at Digital. My personal favourite is Oops, where the vibe is rap, grime and hip hop music. Kandi Island is a lot more focused on pop music or radio style tunes, and Space Mondays is basically just a house party for Leazes students (it is a lot less cheesy than Kandi Island but still pop-dance vibe). 

Tuesdays’ star event is undoubtedly Groovy Disco Tech which recently moved to World Head Quarters. Its music is disco-house and disco-tech and is mainly done by student DJs. If you want something a bit more chill, head to Holy Hobo for classic pop club tunes and 2 for 1 drinks. 

Wednesday is obviously sports night, with everyone and their Nan flocking to Soho in their fancy dress. The music is classic pop club tunes, a lot of 2000s and 2010s stuff… but you’ll usually be too drunk to remember! An alternative is Tup Tup’s Playground Wednesdays, which offers 3 rooms, each with a different style of music. 

Thursdays’ MVP is Swingers at Greys Club, which plays dance tunes mixed in with a bit of pop; I just wish you good luck dancing in the alleyway for the whole night without getting pushed over every 5 minutes! The Cut, which is essentially a room in Tup Tup, offer an indie/rock & roll night which can be fun to spice it up. 

Fridays have seen a newcomer over the last year, Casa at The Social Club. It plays house and tech with a sprinkle of Latin and samba, something super fun and different to dance to all night long. Feral Fridays at Think Tankk will always have a special place in my heart, playing hip hop/pop tunes from the 2000s and 2010s… or what some may refer to as hot girl music!

Market Shaker and Dog & Parrot are both trebles bars with some great music to get you in the mood for the clubs each night, with Shaker playing more pop tunes and D&P offering more of an indie scene. Of course, each club offers more than I have listed, but these are just my highlights; it would be impossible to fit the whole of the Toon’s nightlife into one page!
