newcastle clubs (2 Viewers)

[carla]

hi, i was just wondering what the clubbing scene in newcastle is like, im about to get into it
also, how much does it cost to get into the clubs
and are places like frostbites and fannies heaps sleazy?
and how do i get to some of the main clubs?

 

[hipsta_jess]

newcastle clubs are ok...typical clubs i guess...

 

[um..]

fannys and mercury are the only places you really have to pay, but they're free on wednesday nights anyway

great northern and customs house are the best though, i'll be there tonight with my dancing shoes on

Most of the Newcastle clubs are good. As "um.." said, you have to pay to get into Fanny's ($10 I think), Mercury ($?) and you also have to pay to get into Surf City ($5). Frostbites and Fanny's are OK, but you are better off staying around The Great Northern and Customs House (that's where you will find most of the younger people).

 

[um..]

oh yeah, i forgot sweat city charges.....i never really have to pay, i sneak in with the dancers

frosties is for bumpkins .

im so there

 

[um..]

FANNYS IS BEST, go fannys.
frosties is for bumpkins and their music is terrible is outdated and unfashionable.

it also attracts unsavoury men and women who look like unsavoury men.

this post is funny on at least three different levels

The brewery is alright too. It has nice view and you can climb the big penis if you're bored.

 

[hipsta_jess]

I like the Brewery, but tend to find it has older people. I swear I'm going to climb that knob one night!
Fannys...pft, if you don't mind full on sleaze, its umm ok
Frosties...one of my faves
Northern...another fave
Customs...good for sitting and talking in the middle of the night when your feet are sore
Surf City...thank god its closed
Merc...techno crap
Finnos...lovely bouncer, good atmosphere, although there havent been enough people dancing when I've been there for me to get up

Still on my list: King St (when I'm old), ducks nuts, lucky

the merc is CLOSED DOWN jess...
customs is dead but good if youre trying to escape bon JUST JOKING
northern is good but a bit feral
frosties has cool drinks and its cool but always heaps hot n sweaty and tehres a lineup to get onto the balcony....on which you choke anyway cos thats where the smokers go
err thats all ive been to

whats the grand like?

 

[hipsta_jess]

lol, shows how long it is since I've been to the merc. I thought they'd reopened it?

 

[Emily.]

and it closed again
druggies
they were selling pingas over the counter

 

[kittycat552]

i had my first experience of frostbites on saturday night at midnight since i only turned 18 on the 24th of april...it was like man sandwiches everywhere

 

[um..]

jess dont go to king st, it's so shit. lots of drugs too, they dont call it ping st for nothing

the grand is ok, cheap drinks (they used to have $2.50 schooners) but it's a little dingy. similar to the lucky

 

[evilc]

IStill on my list: King St (when I'm old), ducks nuts, lucky

go to the ducks nuts and the lucky, give king st a miss

(they used to have $2.50 schooners)

Bastards, I was so excited when I got a half price drink thingo off some guy. I was expecting a $1.25 schooner and what's that? $1.80? How can you put the price by over $1 in one hit?
IMO The Grand is pretty good if you go down stairs to the dance floor, as long as they don't put prices up again.

where is central coastish?

I officially live in the Hunter but am in the last town before the Central Coast. I prefer to represent the CC so I say Central Coastish. I go to TAFE in Gosford so I spend most of my time on the Central Coast. FWIW the last town in the Hunter is Morisset.
