I well set up venue for what the gigs and events they put on, however, it's rank. Walk into the band room and your instantly smacked in the face with the smell of human urine so strong your nose doesn't adjust, it's stinks the time. If the cleaning standards were upped, then I'd say it would be a great venue. I won't be returning to find out though, disgusting 🤢

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

Really gross and grimy. The music was really good but WAY too loud. I was wearing earplugs (I really couldn't care less if they're cool) and my ears were still ringing after. At the entrance they tried to charge us $10 even though we'd already bought tickets online. Bar tender was not very friendly.

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!

Went there with my daughter for an afternoon and night of live music. I was impressed by the attitude towards crowd safety and individual safety. There plenty of bars open, and drink selection was good.
What I really like is that the Cambridge supports live music, and a good opportunity for up and coming Newcastle bands to play their music

Went back for the first time in like 10 years, has not changed a bit. They have all the best bands playing and venue is the perfect size for most crowds. The drinks are a bit over priced and being an old venue it is rather dated in most parts. Still the only great spot for like metal in Newcastle though!

It's been a while since my last visit. In that time the Hotel appears more exclusive, covering the windows and changing the entrance location. The inside is still fairly similar and the same bands still tour there. I found it to be very dark, the bathroom is "rustic", and there's no longer any food available which is pretty disappointing. Definitely not my kind of venue any more.

The place is fantastic, but the experience is tarnished by some security staff, that need a bit of counselling and a more human attitude towards patrons, particularly when a disoriented one is asking for help. Please aproack wit caution the goons at the door, they may have low blood sugar and low expectation will be the name of the game.
