Attic & Establishment

Attic & Establishment

What are these bars like on a Friday night, and what's the dress code - specifically, are trainers allowed?

Spent most of my life avoiding these areas of Newcastle but it looks like I might be going there for the sake of a friends birthday celebrations.

Sounds just like I'd always imagined it would be.

I might just get some cans and wait outside.

That's a much better choice.

its nowt like that to be fair, some people do dress like that but personally i think attic is a decent place

just casual dress mate, trainers are allowed.

Attic - not particularly nice. Poor beer, tacky decor, terrible music, and loads of hairdresser-types in similar, uniform-like attire. Also a lot of public school students who think it's cool the be into funky house. Lots and lots of Dame Allan/RGS/Church High sixth formers tend to hang out there.

I've never been into The Establishment, but it's bound to be similar to all of the other bars on that street, probably full of weekend millionnaires, fork lift drivers and the like pretending they have money and drinking overpriced Veuvé Cliquot.
I've actually heard this street dubbed as "Millionnaire's Row" by a few charvers, so make of that what you will.

Still, it's what you make of it innit. It could be worse, your friend could want to go to the Bigg Market or The Gate for their birthday...

Nice one. Nothing worse than having to wear shoes, especially since I don't own any.

What about down the Quayside? Do many clubs/bars there not allow trainers?

Can't remember the last time I went to a bar in the Quayside to be honest. This night could well be cut short in favour of a trip to Wax:On.

Ive never been stopped anywhere in the town for wearing trainers, not this millenium anyway.
Just for being too pissed...

yeah me either you can wear trainers anywhere can't you?

ive never been knocked back from anywhere wearing trainers.

bigg market, gate, quayside, all included.

Me, Tom and Paul were knocked back from Establishment about 18 months ago for wearing trainers.

It was called @Home then.

@Home is still there aint it?? I thought the establishment was the restaurant ? ? :spangled: :spangled:

Shit yeah, I remember that.

Where were we going that night?

Ah, maybe.

I thought it had changed name. But your probs right.

The Dig i think.

Could have been the last one at Foundation? Or might have been Lawler?

this lady friend must be someone special flexi

Yeah, I think it could've been Lawler mate.

do the jeans have to be ripped aswell

lol you sound JUST like what you are descibing with that post, mr lexical genius

Attic on a Thursday is a good night out like

If the Bigg Market, Gate and "Millionaires Row" are crap...where do you drink?
