I am a bar/nightclub/live music venue/house of debauchery based on Prince Regent Street, Stockton-on-Tees in the North East of England.
Since i was born I have taken a liking to having the best up and coming live bands grace my stage, live highlights of the past have included Arctic Monkeys,The Enemy, Reverend and The Makers, Nine Black Alps, those devil beasts Black Wire, The Reasearch, our friends from Hull, The Paddingtons...
and ooo so many more that i cant remember cos so many drinks got spilled on me i was a bit tipsy!!
i am happiest when my two rooms are full of friendly people dancing to the best music in Stockton.
i like indie, new-wave, punk, rock and roll, northern soul, ska, funk, mod sounds, brit pop and that sort of thing...
when i have this music inside me the crowd i attract is a good one, like a happy family!
i keep my door charges down and my drinks offers too because i like to look after my family. sometimes when i invite live acts to come and play from far away it might cost more to get in, not much more and theres always a bit of discount with advance tickets or if you get a special flyer! its important to me to get my regulars looked after when we have a big night on so i do my best!
on a friday i get full of people who come to SHINE LIKE STARS stocktons longest running, live action indie night, its a right carry on! some people call it the 100 club of the north east and some call it the biggest little indie night in the world, it gets quite hectic.
With Jimmy doing his thing in the live room i also have a bar room where i have my foundations rocked with the best of music pre 2000 by a couple of likely lads who go by the name of ben and gidge, you may mistake them for celebrity golfer Jimmy Tarbuck and tax dodging funnyman Ken Dodd.
on Fridays usually i like to open my doors at 9pm and let you in free before ten, this is in case you only fancy taking in the live acts and having an early one.. after that the door charge is four english pounds then five laters on.
when i have a bigger band on a charge will apply all night... but my tasty drink offers stay the same, mmmmmmm!
i like to stay open until 3am in the morning, im a bit of a night owl and open my front doors at 8pm, so im alright if youre just nipping in for a quick drink or going the full whack!
behind my bar as well as the lovely staff theres all the booze youd expect at niiice prices, out of all of these drinks i decided some of them should be cheaper than the rest....
selected bottled lager £1.50
SCORPION LAGER £1.95 (a very special drink with excellent effects)
VK FLAVOURS £1.50
DOUBLE VODKA AND MIXER £2.00
i reckon thats pretty good dealio, out of all the drinks i like to have spilt on
me scorpion lagers my favorite, it gets me right up for it!
