Blu Bambu

Situated at the top of the world famous Bigg Market, Blu Bambu is one of Newcastle's most popular nightclub.

Whether it's the world-class cocktails, the state-of the art lighting and sound or just the famous atmosphere, they guarantee that you'll be absolutely blown away by the Blu Bambu experience.

Open seven days a week, Blu Bambu is a 1,400 capacity venue in Bigg Market playing a mixture of dance music and RnB.

The club has an extensive cocktail list and all drinks are reasonably priced. The club tends to attract a very mixed clientele, including students, the young and the old.

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.
