The Rigger

Legendary for all the right reasons, The Rigger still maintains its standing as Stoke's leading rock & metal venue to this day. Some nerd even modeled the place in LEGO. Not only does it host some of the best bands but it does so for remarkable value, typically offering at least three bands on the average Friday and Saturday night. No review would be complete without a mention of Go Go Juice, which is a must, if you don't want to remember much of your night the next morning.

Fantastic music and atmosphere. Bartender's have an absolute wealth of product knowledge. A diverse crowd with a welcoming team of staff. Prefect. Best in Newcastle by far.

Very nice staff and good sound
