  • Le Pub, Saturday nights, free music until round 7 when they start charging so get in early and ull be fine, unless u go outside for some fresh air, cause it starts to stink in the log cabin after stubbs lets a few go and some sweaty tit starts dancing like a twat, DEAD SOULS COLLECTIVE!. Tj's....only worth going for the hardcore gigs "SWHC" everything else is crap. Clwb Ifor Bach, Proper welsh, proper bo, barfly, allright like, can have a good show their now and again. If u want more of a dance vibe, Zanzibar innit bitches and Yates's bread.
  • The Bassment in the town centre is good for a friendly night after the Murrenger An escape from the trendy nonsense and filthy fashion sense of the rest of Newport. Plenty of man rock with a few dance tunes thrown in for those of us that wish to move our bodies
  • chicago rock and opposite a blinding curry house poppadoms!
  • me and my mates love the metz lounge and ott's, both are R'n'B free zones which makes a change, low lighting, candles on tables and leather sofa's. cant beat it!
  • Most clubs in port are a load of shite except maybe tj's where they have good bands from time to time such as stretch armstrong and Estevez
  • otts on tuesday nights- over the edge alternative and metal night sometimes their are good live bands- sometimes not!!
  • OH MY MISSPENT YOUTH!! TJ'S, DOWNSTAIRS IN THE COTTON CLUB, ANNABELS,
  • TJs is the best place to go in Newport, for gigs or just on a night out, few places in town but never bothered with them cos full of townies etc etc...
  • The Legendary TJ's is a bit out of my age range nowadays, but before my 20s I had a marvellous time. Good to feel part of a crowd when you're going through those pre20-year-old type traumas - they'll be there for the rest of your life. But so will some of your mates that you made.
  • Is "Lasers" still there? It used to be the best club going when Newport had only two clubs... I forget the name of the other bout it was really small and was above a row of shops..
  • TJ's forever - even though it seems to have got more mainstream in recent years.
  • Vinly Nation Presents A night of hard dance @ The Baltica. Fortnightly on Thrusdays. Resident DJ Ice & Guests. Only £1 entry. Pool tables, cheap drinks and an excellent atmosphere.
  • well if your looking for the usual townie ,sleezey mingrats you cant beat Newports finest "zanzibar" or "zanz" to the lovely regulars! But for all the alternative boys and girlsthere is the famous tj's.where on a friday night you are bound to bumb into your little brother or sister moshing with there over sized slipknot hoodie. But you cant beat Tj's for an end to your , when your so drunk you'll dance anyway. by the drinks are served smiply by the can!
  • Dance music clubs...well I'm not exactly the biggest fan of Dance music, but John Henry's seems to be the place to be Friday nights.It has an outdoor piazza type place [okay,so signs like 'Posta'are painted on the walls looking extremely un-italian, but, y'know...] Zanzibar is quite well frequented too, so I'm told.
  • zanzibar (bre), and voodoo (spakka)
  • oh innit cobarnas is fuckin wicked like have a couple of brews and fuckin pull some shleper an that sellin speed in the back of zanzis knows it like
  • Sanjays - Run of the mill nightclub located on stow hill Club Loudoo - as above, this time located down toward the baneswell area
  • Panzibar
  • bladhy bladhy blay tjs blah yak yak
  • The place to be in newport has to ZANIZBAR - it has the latest music played all nite upstairs downstairs you have your chillout room and on groundfloor you have your "older" music i.e wham or and cheeze like s-club severn!! The place to be. Voodoo is also quite good for a nite out but alot smaller.
  • dont bother they are all shit
  • If your looking for a half decent place to have a drink, dance and a laugh then Yates is the place to go. Chicago's is not bad either, all the music is 60's/70's stuff. Zanzibar is a bit boring, The Pen & Wig is a slappers paradise, TJ's is a dive.
  • Newport - Zanzibar and Voodoo......... only one thing to say about these quality establishments...... "Who let the dogs out????!!!!!!"
  • Don't come to Newport for Clubs. Bar Rhumba has a refreshing attitude.
  • ok zanzibar could be likened to a meat market but it's cool. cheezy music, tiny dance floor etc but hell this is newport we're talking about. if u want class go to cardiff. Yea the guys are all freaks there, well mostly all of them, but look around. men are freaks everywhere. not just in zanzis
  • well if u like crap nites then go to VooDoo where all the VooDoo people hang out!! or if u want to be all hot and crushed try out Zanzibar....
  • tj's tj's tj's tj's tj's tj's tj's tj's tj's tj's. Townies need not apply. I don't think you could class the Angel as a club but hell it's a good skater hang out.
  • Zanzibar (POP and Dance), Tjs (everything mailnly Rock), Bah Rhumba (indie etc on Weds, Fri Sat nights enigma), VOODOO (shite), V3 ( closed down now, but was very good before)
  • Downstairs in the cotton club USED to be good. Stick to John Henrys bar throughout the summer if you want a good, friendly night with an all night bbq.
  • If you want a fight or an easy lay go to anywhere that plays chart stuff - Zanzibar, Voodoo etc. If on the other hand you want a laugh in a friendly environment - where in 6 years I have yet to see a fight - try downstairs in the Cotton Club on weekends or V3 on a wednesday, both play excellent indie stuff and 80's cheese - TJ's is also good although one of my mates did get beaten up there once and it does seem to be extremely full of young looking people. Some of the pubs have late licenses too now which is good - the Pen and Wig on Stow Hill is a good one
  • Cotton Club (downstairs) on the weekend is a good indie night (if crowded), or the legendary TJ's for some good dirty fun.
  • Zanzibar, club voodoo, barrumba, TJ's god i could go on ...and on and on
  • TJ's used to kick arse about 8 years ago, now the DJ's have changed and it's shite. Hang the friggin DJ. I could do better. All the other nightlubs are meat-markets for the beautiful people who love a fight, kebab and a shag (in that order)
  • loads of them-not that they're any good...good for a fight no less
  • two place, the Griffen and the Zanzibar, good names but shit music and beer.
  • TJ's is the ony place worth a shit, I seem to live there
  • "Heights 2000"is now known, and has been for over a year now, as "Zanzi Bar" And "Ritzies" has also recently changed to "Voodoo" Both clubs are located within the town centre, and guarantee a good night out!!!
  • Castell Bingo Full of groovin' oldies
  • V3 is a fairly new club in Newport - playing mainly house and dance music. Check out the big paper mache dragon they've got in there... Bar Rumbah - not been yet but looks like your standard 1st Leisure Corp, Rank etc. nightclub from the outside.
  • T.J.`s is quite near the sk8 park. Kurt Cobain Proposed to Courtney Love there and is a great place on Friday.
  • Ritzy's - Full of under-aged kids. I used to go there when I was 16 and I used to look like I was 10.
  • Annabels, Stow Hill (all sorts of music: Metal night, dance, indie, etc) Heights 2000, Stow Hill (mostly Dance) Ritzy, Bridge Street (mostly Dance)
  • Newport has lots of nightclubs the most popular is Heights 2000 (was Bookerts). It has lights and meets Thursdays to Sundays.
  • the club scene in newport...in a word, tragic beyond belief. are under 5 foot 3, male and think that shell suits are pretty damn' groovy? this is the place for you. there is a street of clubs off the high street, ranging from sad to scary. enjoy.
