Linekers Newcastle Bar Opens Saturday

Posted on by

Linekers Newcastle Bar opens this Saturday. Linekers has several locations all over the Med in places like Ibiza, Tenerife and Alcudia.

It is located at 55 Degrees North, aka the old “Box” bar/club. They are giving away free shots and champagne on opening night, to bring in the people. When it was “The Box” this had a huge space and there could have done alot with it, however a huge space makes a bar look deserted if you cant fill it.

Linekers may change the interior, layout and such. We will just have to wait until Saturday 24th January to find out.

With comments from internet users such as “Absolute dumps in Spain !! Filthy stale beer smell throughout the day.” It has to deliver something great to be recognised as a top venue in Newcastle.

Did you go?

Quiet in Newcastle on Saturday Night

Posted on by

The first Saturday night of 2009 in Newcastle was a quiet one.  The usual bars, Baby Lynch’s, Floritas, 1. Grey Street were all pretty quiet, more so than usual. The Lodge was also quiet, it is usually very busy in there despite it being a poor bar. There were no queues in sight in the ever popular Revolution, but had a few people in. What a shame for Perdu, which was quiet. I guess they must have turned one too many people away :D

Will the bars survive the credit crunch? The Sports Cafe has already closed down near the end of last year. Will there be any others biting the dust?
