Kings Of Lyon – Linekers Bar Newcastle

Posted on by

No, That’s not a typo. The Kings of Lyon are on this Wednesday night (tomorrow)  at Linekers bar.

I guess you realise by they name, they are a Kings of Leon tribute band. Surely MR Lineker could put up some money for the real thing? I thought tribute acts were for old bands, not current ones?

I rather see a washed up pop star than pop idol covers…..I dont think Cleopatra are upto much tomorrow night :D

There are still ”a few” tickets available, a credit crunching £4 or £6 on the door. You could listen to them for free on their myspace page here.

Sam Jacks Bar Biggest and Busiest in Newcastle?

Sam Jacks are now billing themselves as the “biggest and busiest bar in Newcastle”…Are they? Their Facebook seems to claim they get 13,000 through their door on a Saturday night, which means thats about 2,000 an hour. I dont think i have seen that many people in the place at one time, i dont think it could even hold that many!

The greatest thing which it has had was B*Witched performed for St. Paddys Day…I wish i was there for that one :D

If it is such a good place they should definatly get a later licence, it currently closes at 1am on a Friday and 1.30am on Saturdays.

One of the reasons we stopped going here was because the drinks were too expensive for the quality of the place, there are much cheaper alternatives within spitting distance; And the choice on offer wasnt too good, unbranded vodkas, cheaper alcopops to save them a few pennies, i hope its changed for the next time i go! :)

Good for the Music and girl dancers they have on….Girls, Music and Beer; What more do you want! :P

Newcastle Bar Map

Posted on by

I have added a Newcastle Bar map to the site. All the usual suspects of bars are there around the area, i have not added the quayside yet.

This will help the people outside of Newcastle who have no idea where the bars are. Just click the blue markers to find out which bar is which :)

You can get to the bar map by clicking “Bar Map” in the top menu, or click here

This is just a trial map to see how it goes, if you like it i will keep it and add to it so let me know :)

Blu Bambu Newcastle Dirty Sanchez

Blu Bambu must have ran out of ways to make a good nightclub a good nightclub, because they are now plugging their latest thing on at their club. Dirty Sanchez will be “live on stage” doing, well i have no idea. If you dont know, Dirty Sanchez is a poor mans jackass….I thought all that was over with now anyway? If Nitro Circus is anything to go by, that kind of stuff is gone! :D Yeah Jackass was funny, but that was a long time ago and its had its day.

Stuff like that could be good in the right place…A Nightclub, well i dont think so. The person who books the talent people for Blu Bambu needs to think about their career i think.

How about getting a headline DJ? A good (current) act? I dont think Lady Gaga will be queuing to get a gig in this place.

I hope the Dirty Sanchez boys can get past the door staff, “sorry lads, no groups and you cant get in wearing those rockports you charva!!!” :D
