Newcastle is one of the few places in the UK I've not had a night out in, and I've never felt I've really missed out at all. Paddy's words merely confirm that.

Away trip and night out next season mate?!

Your company would make a weekend in Small Heath pleasant so I'm all in brother.

I liked it, even that moored party ship where you felt you were an unwilling cast member of an art house film.

Wow, that place is still going? I remember Tosker and Elaine getting it off the ground in the last ep of Our Friends In The North.

No don’t think it’s there any more. The one with the spinning dance floor was brilliant.

I might be thinking of a different one but wasn't that on the south bank so Gateshead?

There were two different boats apparently, the Tuxedo Royale and the Tuxedo Princess. Both moored in the same place in Newcastle as far as I recall, but only one at a time. It was the Royale that had the revolving dancefloor I think, and that was the one that was there in the 90s.

I concur with SE - Newcastle, good city but crap night out

My mate who knows the guy that owns the Hare and Hounds and various other luminaries was lamenting Brum the other week as a busted flush, and his Mrs's band won't bother coming here as the tickets don't sell and they're not alone.

We had a heated discussion on the subject be he was pretty adamant that compared to *spits* Manchester in terms of nightlife we're miles behind. He's always been a bit of that mind so I take it with a pinch of salt but he spends half his time up that way (where his Mrs is from) and half down here so he's probably better to judge.

hate to say it but Manchester is a better city to go out in than Brum in my opinion, some fantastic pubs .

Depends what you're after , its always a lively night out , plenty of bars etc . I think its decent as the odd visit to try somewhere new .

I've never been to Newcastle, so will provide the definitive answer when I do go. Just need to pop to Topshop first.

It's a heavy drinking type resort.
Best City i've been to in the UK lately is Belfast , brilliant for a weekend.

Me neither. Up for it though, next season?

Don’t bother buying a jacket.

I've never been to Newcastle, but my main problem is that every Geordie I've ever met has had a lack of humility about their fair city that makes the most obnoxious Mancunian seem self-deprecating.

Tops won't do it.

Greys club was the place to end up back in the day. Probably their Snobs .

From my experience, Newcastle is very much relentless as a night out. Very “lads, lads, lads” - it has some nice pubs but whoever described it as something like a massive Broad Street is right.

I’ll also agree Manchester is a better night out pub-wise. It pains me to say, but Birmingham just doesn’t feel coherent enough to go out in or get around.

Manchester's mostly spread over different areas though. You've got Deansgate, Castlefield, Northern Quarter etc. Not really one big city centre like Leeds.
