The Middlesbrough Empire

Personally, this is one of the most impressive venues that doubles as a bar, Newcastle has nothing like this, it really is a treasure in Boro.

Personally used to love coming here at the tender age of 18 and used to have an amazing time. Not sure if it was my naivety, nostalgia or the alcohol that made me look back at this place with such fond memories. Recently revisited the venue a couple of times and had a horrendous time.

Not sure if it was my naivety, nostalgia or the alcohol that made me look back at this place with such fond memories. Recently revisited the venue a couple of times and had a horrendous time. Music far too loud, no ear protection offered. Overpriced drinks without so much as ice, served in scratched up dirty plastic cups. The roof above the stairs was leaking down as well, pooling near the bottom steps.

This place has a bouncer that doesn't understand how to handle the public and fails to make balanced appropriate decisions.
