The Cambridge, Newcastle West NSW

Great night out as usual, It's just about the music don't expect a clean wholesome experience just a raw night out.

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.

Last days of The Cambridge are on the horizon!Decent, old school sticky carpet mid sized room that has seen many national and international touring bands and artists grace both its stages. Its metamorphosis into a night club most weekends seems to be popular with the younger crowd based on the queues outside but it's best known and loved for the amazing live music it has hosted over the years!

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

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
