Blu Bambu, is probably one of the best places as night outs go in the Bigg Market…..That makes you think, it must be good right? Wrong! It doesnt have much up against it in that area, but as Newcastle goes, it certainly is not a good place to go!
One For the Kids
I heard they do some under-18 nights…Well a normal night in there isnt much more mature. Its filled with kids, it attracts the 18-20 year olds from the Bigg Market area, yet it tries to get away from the “charva” persona by not letting in people for no reason. I have heard from someone on another forum that they didnt get let in because “They were dressed like a cunt”. This is why Blu Bambu has the most notorious door staff in Newcastle. Their policy is non existat, some nights you will get in, others you wont. Once inside it doesnt get much better, your money would be better spent going elsewhere unless you like mixing it with kids.
The actual layout of the place is good. There is a Danceflloor downstairs in the centre, with places to stand around it, upstairs there are booths. The music varies, some great party choons dropped by the DJ, to some trash being played.
As mentioned the clientele is very, very young. Blu Bambu is the new king of “cheese” when it comes to nightclubs, taking the crown from the old Baja Beach club days. It has no flair, creativity or culture. It is a boring place on most nights, and completly geared up for Students. Strange, as i believe its still £7 entry.
I am amazed this still seems to get people in at the weekend, i would have thought it would have died a long time ago.

We have just returned from weekend in Newcastle ..On the Friday night we went to Tiger Tiger … which was great fun ,, best night ever. Then on Saturday went here … huge mistake!!!!!!!!! Place is awful its very rough I would say that i felt quite unsafe in here it was full of total clowns and there was fighting whilst we were in. Prices were ridiculous as well. Needless to say i didn’t even finish my very expensive vodka!! We left pretty sharpish and said to the bouncer that the place was minging!! My feel were sticking to carpets and the toilets were the most horrific smelling toilets i’ve ever encountered … DO NOT GO HERE … Sorry!
