One of the best student clubs in Newcastle city centre, Popworld is the place to be for cheesy music in the heart of Bigg Market. Expect non-stop feel-good tunes from their DJs, who play all the very best throwback hits and chart toppers.
They're open until 1am every night, and 2am Thursday to Saturday, and are known for taking requests. Let loose on their colourful dancefloor, all while enjoying cracking cocktails and affordable drinks deals.
Open Tuesday to Sunday on St Nicholas Street, Tup Tup Palace promises a regular lineup of themed nights that are ideal for students. Expect to hear all the best of hip hop, RnB, house and Afrobeats from their live DJs, open until 3am six days a week.
Their weekly Playground event is a top choice for a Wednesday student night in Newcastle, while Tuesdays see Newcastle's longest running weekly club night, LoveDough, taking over the venue - founded in 2001.
Having seen many a wild night out over the years, Grainger Town's iconic three-venue club caters to students with all kinds of fantastic events. ChaChaBuchi / Howlers / The Social Bar & Club is not only home to one of the largest ball pits in the UK, but they also host bottomless parties every Friday and Saturday, complete with drag entertainment and 90 minutes of unlimited drinks.
There are giant 20-inch pizzas if you get peckish, as well as cocktails for less than £8.50 in this day-to-night destination. Ideal for a night out with a little more glitz and glam, there's something for everyone here.
One for the cheesy music lovers among you, Flares is a much-loved venue that's open until 2am seven nights a week. Located on the corner of Cloth Market and Mosley Street, it's right in the centre of the action, decked out in retro patterns with a colourful, light-up dancefloor.
They serve a range of cracking cocktails, as well as spirits and bottles deals for as little as £2.50 per drink. You can also secure free entry on weekdays, and every Wednesday is student night, so get ready to boogie to old-school tunes for cheap.
One of the largest clubs in the whole city, Digital is found on Times Square, right next to the Centre For Life. Having won awards like Club of the Year from Mixmag and been named in the Top 100 Clubs in the World by DJ Mag, you can count on these guys for a top night out.
You can find all kinds of themed raves and live performances here, attracting DJs from all over the UK. It's hosted everyone from LCD Soundsystem to Public Enemy and Fatboy Slim in the past, so you never know who you might see.
Known for its lively sports nights on Wednesdays that see some of the craziest costumes around, Mimo is a popular Tiki bar and nightclub close to Central Station. Dance under the disco ball until 2am every night, with live DJs playing house and RnB classics, or hit up the beer pong tables for a house party vibe.
You can secure three trebles for just £7.50 Monday to Thursday, one of the best deals in the city, and there are happy hour prices on all drinks from 7 to 9pm every day.
