Koosday Moves From Madame Koos To Tiger Tiger

Yes, the title is correct!

Koosday, which was the flagship event for Madame Koos on a Tuesday night has moved to…Tiger Tiger.

So now we have a bar in Newcastle called Koos, and an event called Koosday, but the event is not at Koos its at Tiger. This will cause confusion for us all! :D

The reason? Well its not hard to guess why, Tiger is bigger than Madame Koos, Baby Lynch and Floritas, which means they can let more people in, which means more money for the promoters.

I wonder what this will mean for Madame Koos, and for the event itself? Is the event big enough to fill out Tiger on a Tuesday? Will people boycott the night? Will Madame Koos survive after this?

The move has already proved to be an unpopular one for some…

What do you think?

Which is the best area in Newcastle to go out in?

Posted on by

One of the good things about the nightlife in Newcastle is you can pretty much walk around all of the areas, as in distance they are all quite close, but in style all very different. But which is the best?

The main areas of Newcastle can be broken down to: The Gate, The Diamond Strip/Central Station, The Bigg Market and The Quayside.

What is considered cool/popular has changed alot. A few years ago the Quayside was a cool place to go, everyone went, clubs like Sea and Baja would be packed with massive queues. Then the people outside of Newcastle found out about it. Now there are stag and hen parties as far as the eye can see, and the locals by majority go to other places. I was in Quilted Camel a few months ago, 21:00 on a Friday night, and there was a handful of people there. Rewind a few years and you wouldnt be able to move. Have the Stag and Hens spoiled the Quayside, or are there now just more/better choices?

Blu Bambu @ the Bigg Market was also considered one of the best Saturday nights out in Newcastle. With big queues, a packed club every week, it was doing good for itself. They destroyed all that themselves by not moving with the times, and forgetting that all the people they would not let in went to other places, never to return. Soon enough they lost the ability to draw a crowd.

Today the place to be is the Central Station area, aka The Diamond Strip. Bars like Madame Koo, Perdu, Bijoux etc. People have a love of trendy bars at the moment, with nice decor, ‘posh’ feel, and a “no cheese allowed here” view. The problem i have with them is the price tag and attitude which goes with some of them. If they are upmarket, why do some of them sell cheap spirits? I hate the places which sell cheap vodka or cheap Martini, to me its like a shop selling a fake. If you go to these places and pay more you expect to get better standard drinks, which is why we go, to drink!

So i would say the best area is The Diamond Strip. BUT, it does depend on what kind of night you want. If you are into a cheesy mood, try The Gate and bars around the Bigg Market.

Newcastle Bar Promoters Spamming Facebook!

Posted on by

If you are a promoter of a bar, event or basically anything on the internet please take note. PEOPLE DO NOT LIKE SPAM!!!

I am a member of lots of groups, forums, websites, Facebook groups and pages on the internet. The correct and best way to utilize this marketing is not to spam people, not to piss them off…You should want them to keep reading the things they have decided to opt into. It seems like some people forget that these services are an opt-in, which means we can leave and then they will have 1 less person on their mailing list.

I get LOADS of messages from Madame Koo from a person in charge of their Facebook page/group…The problem is, i get multiple messages, all the time!! This is very annoying, and instead of getting people to go to the place like its supposed to, it just annoys people. Dont they realise sending 3 emails/messages which are EXACTLY the same in the space of 10 minutes will make people unsubscribe/leave their group. I have noticed people leaving all the time, more than half the people who were in the Facebook group have left, probably because, like me, they are sick.

It is a great tool if it is used correctly. If it is not, it is counter productive, i dont think they even realise how much damage it could do. They might aswell stand outside and shout at every passing person COME IN OUR PACE!! COME ON!! I have not left yet, but they are doing a good job to drive me away.

Check out this screenshot below…These are messages sent to me all within the space of 11 minutes; The Same Message!

Yes, I know its Koosday. Stop bugging me!!!

Koosday too big for Madame Koo

Posted on by

koosday-bigger

Koosday, Madame Koos flagship event is now too big for its venue says its promoters. Koosday is the new word for Tuesday if you hadnt heard.

They have now extended the Koosday experience to next door, Floritas, so there is more space for you to get in and enjoy the party. With its mix of cheap drinks and VIP style table service and full bottles of spirits available, it is the place to be in Newcastle on a Tuesday night.

If you want a reason NOT to go check out the video below. This is Charlie who was in Big Brother. Why does Madame Koo want this as a promo? Tup Tup gets people like Alesha Dixon, and Koos has BB Charlie?!?!  He tries to cling onto some sort of ‘celebrity’ status, but his ‘douche’ status shines much, much brighter. What a twat.
