Florita’s | Florita's
Florita’s
Florita’s is located on the diamond strip close to the likes of Perdu and Tuptup. For this review im going to include Madame Koos and Baby lynch under the mantle of Florita’s, as they all combine to form a club.
Florita’s has to be one of the best looking clubs in Newcastle. Bare stone walls donned with innovative art really put Florita’s at the cutting edge of nightclub decor. This extends to the drinks served. Florita’s stock all kind of exotic cocktails served in ever-so fancy glasses. If you order a cocktail here you get the real rather than the rather dispiriting pint of skittles we’re used to from the likes of Basement. However be prepared to pay a little more for this pleasure, although there are happy hours that can be taken advantage of if you fancy getting on it early.
Music wise Florita’s, Baby Lynch and Madame Koos all have their own genres. Madame Koos advertised itself as having no musical boundaries, but in reality expect either classics or chart. Florita’s on the other hand is more party anthems and dance. However the DJs are forever wanting to claims songs for themselves so expect remixes and a possibility of African drums. Baby Lynch again brands itself as having an eclectic mix of music; this is not the case as more often than not Drum ‘n’ Base is being blasted through speakers.

Venue
Venue
Venue is located on Market Street about 5 minutes walk from Bar 42. Venue is a relatively small nightclub, similar in size to the likes of Cosmic Ballroom. Unlike Cosmic Ballroom Venue caters for clientele more into rock, alternative and indie genres. However don’t be put off if this isn’t your scene, the likes of death metal or hardcore punk are rarely played. Instead dance remixes’ chart and classic indie tunes can be heard throughout the night.
Venue I think is the perfect balance of size, not too small and not too large. You’ll rarely lose your friends in this club particularly as the place is not ridiculously dark and you can pick them out from above the dance floor. Meaning you’ll never lose interest in the night and leave early, ensuring you always have a great time. Secondly as Venue is all on one level there is no need to traipse up and downstairs to get from one side of the club to the other, unlike Sea. Instead everything is where you want it to be with bars located ideally around the dance floor should you need a quick top up.
Drinks wise Venue is pretty damn good. When you consider its main nights are the traditional nights of Friday and Saturday a Double Vodka Redbull for £1.50 (£2.50 after 11) is not bad going. Couple that with £1 shots and £1.50 bottles you really can’t go wrong.
Friday: DB (previously known as Debauchery) (Eclectic mix of everything: Dance, Chart, Classic, Indie)
Saturday: KRASH (Punk, Rock, Ska, Alternative)

Sorry for the lack of updates.
We at Newcastle Student Nights would like to apologise about the lack of activity. This is I’m afraid to say due to the downside of university, exams. While preparing for our exams we have spent less time on the site and reviews. Again we apologise for this and following the exam period we will be back up and running as normal.

New drinking game!
Drinking game!
So everyone knows the legendary ‘Ring of Fire’ drinking game, it’s a classic in the pre-drinking world. However there is a new contender to the throne it is called ‘Snake Eyes.’ This game has numerous versions and can be tailored to all drinking requirements. These were the rules and requirements for the version we played:
Required: 2 dice, lots of alcohol (preferably beer.)
Rules
A drink is classed as 1 finger’s worth (drink as much as the width of your finger.) For example 3 drinks would be 3 finger’s worth.
You must never have an empty glass in this game. If you do you must then undertake a suitable forfeit. In our game the player with an empty glass, had to brim their glass with an appropriate drink then down it in one.
A player must roll the two dice on a table. If they roll a scoring roll (see below) they must do the required action and roll again. If the dice are dropped mid-roll or rolled off the table, the player has to down their drink.
The dice are passed round in a clockwise direction if no scoring roll is thrown.
Scoring rolls:
1+1= Snake eyes, player must stand on their chair and down their drink while other players sing a selected song.
1+2= whoever rolls this becomes ‘three-man.’ Whenever anyone has a roll with at least one of the dice showing a 3 the ‘three-man’ has to drink. The player is three-man until another player rolls a 2+1 which result in the ‘three-man’ being passed onto the that player.
3+4= Player to the right of roller drinks one.
4+5= Player to the left of roller drinks one.
2+2= Player allocates two drinks.
3+3= Player allocates three drinks.
4+4= Player allocates four drinks.
5+5= Player allocates five drinks.
6+6= Player allocates six drinks.
6+ 1-5= Player must drink that number of drinks. So a 6+5 player must drink 5 drinks, 6+4 player must drink 4 drinks and so on.
Warning this drinking game can lead to excessive drunkenness. We at Newcastle Student Nights do urge people to know their limits and drink responsibly.
