Club night guide to Newcastle nightclubs is the stuff of your dreams. The city’s bars are legendary, with events rolling through Monday to Sunday. You can enjoy live music, gigs, jazz and even clubs nights that are as famous at the city itself. If you’re in Newcastle for the weekend, or a day, there are plenty of opportunities. Here are the top nights… enjoy.
Monday
Monday’s the start of the week, as well as the best possible time to enjoy a drink. Get through the rest of it with our Monday’s club night guide to Newcastle nightclubs. We’ve selected a few…
01. Floritas
Club Tropicana
First up, the Diamond Strip. An event straight out of the ‘Club Tropicana’ music video – this club night is everything you’d expect from Newcastle, and more. Think 80s Miami, WHAM!, as well as a spectacular beach vibe, and you’re on the right track. Located in Newcastle’s resident tropical oasis, it boasts a lavish atmosphere with dark corners, top music and fruity drinks.
Music: Joe Peel (Madame Koo Resident), Commercial, RnB, Electro and Disco classics
Entry Fee: £6 Standard Entry / £5 Guestlist (or with mojo card)
02. House of Smith
Club Tropicana
Another Diamond Strip stalwart, and spectacular destination of the Club Tropicana crowd. Next door to Floritas, this Miami-inspired club night is set against a backdrop of sheer glamour. House of Smith is one of Newcastle’s most exclusive bars – a regular for Geordie Shore. To put in simple terms, imagine Great Gatsby had a house party in Newcastle… This tropical wonderland is only just getting started.
Music: Paul Thomas & Dan Stafford, House, RnB and Dance Music
03. Digital
Digital Mondays
This start the week with an almighty bang. This is a Newcastle institution. As a result, it’s the longest running club night in the whole of the city, as well as one of the cheapest. The mega club opens up four of the rooms, along with the Shisha smoking terrace. The Main Room is dedicated to old favourites, whereas downstairs Think Tank is indie, rock, soul and funk. Upstairs, you’ve got urban, hip hop and RnB. However, in the upstairs Think Tank, you’ve also got alternative music from the likes of Anth Hepburn.
Music: Indie, Rock, Urban, RnB, Hip Hop, Soul, Funk, Disco
Entry Fee: 80p before Midnight
Tuesday
Tuesday might be the worst day of the week, but it’s not in terms of nightlife. This night is dedicated to one thing, and one thing only: Waikiki.
01. Madame Koo
Waikiki
Madame Koo is one of the biggest and best bars/clubs in the city, set on the illustrious Diamond Strip. Most visitors (and locals) flock to this legendary ‘strip’, and to this underground club. Waikiki draws inspiration from the largest parties across the world. Those chilled vibes of the Full Moon party in Thailand and the clubs of Beverley Hills are incorporated. In addition, the likes of Ibiza and Cancun make an appearance.
Music: House and Deep House
Entry Fee: £5 Earlybird Tickets
This club night also takes place at the club’s neighbours, Floritas and House of Smith.
Wednesday
It’s midweek and you’ve got to get straight over that hump. Wednesday in Newcastle is not for staying in, but experiencing the city’s legendary clubs. Cheers to that.
01. House of Smith (Madame Koo and Floritas)
Naked
Most noteworthy, Naked is ‘the’ night on a Wednesday. Slap-bang in the middle of the Diamond Strip (we’re starting to see a theme here…), is the swanky House of Smith. It’s so popular that, as a result, it spreads over more than one club. You can also experience this night at Floritas and Madame Koo.
Music: Resident DJs, Dance, House
Entry Fee: Standard Entry £6 / Guestlist £5
02. Perdu
Dirtiz
Finally, another resident of the Diamond Strip, due to it being the city’s busiest street. Perdu is a big attraction in the city, with all of the major requirements for a sophisticated backdrop. It has exposed brickwork, booths, chandeliers, as well as a secret garden… Dirtiz is famous for music, boasting four exciting and resident DJs to entertain the crowd.

Thursday
The streets start to get heated come Thursday. With a huge selection of nights to choose from, at the city’s best clubs – you’re utterly spoilt.

02. House of Smith
Jungle
Welcome to the jungle, let’s hear you roar. Jungle is one of House of Smith’s best club nights. It’s popular with Geordie Shore, and even visitors.

Friday
The weekend is here and it’s time to celebrate. Friday is big business in The Toon, and the club nights are spread over the city.
01. Tup Tup Palace
Dirty Little Secret
Keep it to yourself, but Friday’s Dirty Little Secret is for the hedonistic crowd. It’s in its seventh year and is still just as popular today. The two-room party is luxurious and extravagant – the crowd is just as decadent. There’s no wonder Tup Tup attracts A-listers…

01. O2 Academy
Projekt
Projekt is set in one of Newcastle’s most iconic venues. It’s a clubbing experience, mixed with a giant festival, that wouldn’t be out of place in the likes of Ibiza.

Music: Hosted by BCM residents playing Deep House, Future House, RnB, Hip Hop, Urban and Big Room Anthems

Sunday
It’s a school night, but that means nothing in Newcastle… Sundays are for dressing up, heading into town, welcoming the new week and, quite possibly, heading into work hungover.
01. The Cut, Loja and Tup Tup Palace
Persistence
Celebrate the best relaxation day of the week, by drinking… This place has championed the best Sunday club night for yonks, and it’s still the number one spot. The celebs have visited and the crowd is seriously exclusive. Sunday nights will never be the same again…
