Good Times At Bar Beyond

Posted on by

I was at Bar Beyond last Wednesday, and they have their night, “Good Times”, but i cant say it was good.

The DJ was the worst i have ever heard!!! Seriously, in all my years of going out, i have never heard anyone so bad. Fading up and down songs to mix with huge gaps, playing songs at stupid levels then trying to change them, fading songs out after 20 seconds, the mixing which was non existent. After going clubbing for all my years, home and abroad, this was the worst i have ever heard a DJ play. How can they get into a club? I’d be embarrassed if i played like that in my house just in case the neighbours heard how bad it was. The best mix was when the DJ went to the toilet or somewhere, and played 2-3 tracks of a pre-mix someone else obviously done.

This was free to get in this week, if i had to pay i would genuinly of asked for my money back, that is how bad it was.

The drinks were strangely priced aswell. They offered some cheap, but crappy drinks such as crap vodka + cola for £1, a bottle of anything with a label on was £3+ such as Sol or WKD.

The crowd was decent, a good few numbers getting in which was the only good thing, not too busy, but a good number of people.


Bambu Newcastle: The New Bambu

Well well, it seems like the good people of Blu Bambu seem to be listening to us…The place has been closed for ages, and undergoing a refurb, and a “new club” is opening tonight…

We have been saying for such a long time that its crap, its tired, old, has nothing to offer, and you have been telling us the same.

We say new, its called “Bambu” instead of Blu Bambu…Not much of a change there. What else do they have? Well cheap drinks, they broadcast to Metro radio on a Friday night, and offer dancefloor classics from all the decades…That sounds like pretty much the same club to me!

A crowd winner would be “new door staff and new attitudes”, since that was there biggest problem before.

They are going to offer “Something the North East has never seen before”, and I have no idea what that could be, i dont believe them for some reason.

If we are privilaged enough to get into the building i will give it a proper review, until then you may aswell read the old reviews, i am guessing it wont have changed.


Baby Lynch Empty

Wow some bars really gets hit hard on mid-month Friday nights, and i dont mean in a good way….Check out this pic, in Baby Lynch, at around 9pm. That is the bar, and there are no people, let alone queues at it!

I was in, and there were about 4 or 5 groups of people in there, that counts 2-3 people as a group. It was so empty it was untrue.

There were 2 PR people outside, a doorman, and probably 6 bar staff…Thats 9 people and probably less than 20 customers at one time!

And what happens when i go? They sell a crap drink and get it wrong! Baby Lynch is one of the “more sophisticated” bars allegedly. But when i got a Vodka and Redbull i got the same old generic energy drink and some Smirnoff vodka which tasted really watered down. The drink tasted so watered down!! They have Redbull, and i ask for Redbull, but thats not what you get. How much do you think for a weak tasting vodka and fake Redbull? £4.50!!

I really dont understand how a bar which is supposed to be upmarket wants to sell their customers cheap drinks at expensive prices. Maybe thats why it was empty!


Babylon Bar – 90s Bar (ex Boom)

Posted on by

I was in Boom Babylon on Friday night, and it was a good night. If you have been before it is more or less the same in terms of the style of the place and the people in there, so 90s bar, with a mix of old and young people.

Drinks are reasonably priced, and i think it is probably ‘the best bar of its type’. It plays music from the 90s, so thats dance and europop stuff, so if you are in your mid twenties you will be able to listen to the songs you loved as a kid in a bar :mrgreen:

The new additions are a lick of paint, and some new seating and tables, general furnature.

Its really easy to spot who comes every week, the girls order these massive cocktails in funky looking glasses, and you get the feeling that they are regulars :P

It is a good bar, i would get bored of it week in week out, but it is fun :)
