Reviews for The Carling Academy

The Carling Academy used to be a cinema and a bingo hall, before it was refurbed a couple of years back and turned into a nightclub and music venue. I've never been to The Academy for a gig, although my boyfriend has seen several artists there - including Steve Cropper & The Animals and Alabama 3. The Academy is a really popular venue for a huge range of artists and it also hosts regular club nights, on a Friday and Saturday night. Bulletproof on a Saturday night is one of my favourite events in Newcastle. The range of music played is huge - anything from The Prodigy to Dusty Springfield is played at Bulletproof. The drinks are very reasonalbe, with a range of bottles at £2 or less. The Academy crowd is made up of mostly students, with the odd young professional (a la moi) sprinkled here and there.
