The place is fantastic, but the experience is tarnished by some security staff, that need a bit of counselling and a more human attitude towards patrons, particularly when a disoriented one is asking for help. Please aproack wit caution the goons at the door, they may have low blood sugar and low expectation will be the name of the game.

The best for local and international bands. I love the atmosphere here and will be sad to see it go. I’ve seen many a band here and loved every experience.

GREAT VENUE WITH 2 SEPERATE STAGES PLUS A SEPARATE DANCE FLOOR, IT WAS THE PERFECT VENUE TO SEE UK LEGENDS THE STRANGLERS ON 23 APRIL 2023. THIS VENUE IS SADLY CLOSING ITS DOORS AT THE END OF JUNE 2023.

They are now charging entry. As if drinks weren't overpriced enough we now pay $10… CASH (tax evasion alert) to get in. Absolute scam and will be reported to ACCC

Best club in New castle. Most crowded and open till 3AM. Can go again and again. Amazing music.

I found this venue dreadful. The ceiling look like it was about to fall, with so much patchwork holding it up. Just a few fans, and no other ventilation, so it was extremely hot. Never again.

Historic music venue in Newcastle hosting live music since 1958. Aussie greats like the Rubens, Northeast Party House, Pening Duk, Bliss n Eso, Illy, Seth Sentry, Pez, 360, Grinspoon, all played here.Unfortunately closing to be redeveloped.

I've lasted approximately 5 minutes. The time to understand if the smell of urine was coming from the bathroom or the main room was saturated with a putrid smell.I can confirm the entire venue stink.

I haven't been to The Cambridge for the better part of twenty years. I thought I'd check it out before it closes down. Being a casual heavy metal fan I thought I'd see the Iron Maidens, having great reviews and supposedly praised by Iron Maiden themselves. They had an opening act, a band from Western Sydney called Avalanche. Nothing to do with the staff or the pub itself but I really wasn't impressed with either band. I do Event Work and I've worked at some major concerts over the past year. This reminds me that pub gigs can either be good, or terrible. But you know what, life goes on
