Something of an institution on the Newcastle club scene. One of the longest running house nights for dance floor purists. I fondly remember going here week in week out back in the nineties during its earlier incarnation at the Riverside club (in its dark and dingy heyday). Still going strong and still packing them in every Saturday night. Now located at the Digital club, they consistently attract the world’s top DJ talent and the crowd are as devoted as ever. Storming sound system.

Saturday nights at Digital, Times Square (Turn left out of Central Station, near the Centre for Life)
A fantastic feel-good nightclub, with a great, pro-tolerance atmosphere. The downstairs room / bar has a big pool table and, I decided when a bit drunk, a slight superhero relaxation room vibe. Upstairs in the main dance room you will find a great variety of tunes and some inspired mixing. There are a collection of classic albums decorating the area behind the bar, signalling the deep love of music here. And there is a big photo of Nelson Mandela.
It is in a square in the city centre near Pilgrim Street
