user reviews of the Georgian Theatre, Stockton On Tees

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

I used to go in on a friday night when i was younger (16) and it was always packed and a good laugh. Been down recently whilst the Riverside Festival was on and to my dismay it was virtually empty on the three nights i went in. Evidentally not as popular as it once was. Or maybe the little goths don't turn up on festival nights?
Very average beer (only John Smiths smooth), but then again this is not what the place is about.

Used to be one of the best nights around, packed with people having a good time and dancing. Gothic interior, plays metal punk and goth music. Unfortunately, due to underage drinking, only trusted patrons with a pass could get in. Got reopened by the council recently but has gone downhill since then. Pretty empty on a Friday night, no-one dancing. Drinks are very expensive as well.

Not so much pub, as music venue - but definitely worth mentioning. As the name suggests, this is actually a Georgian Theatre. In fact, it is the oldest one still standing, having been built in 1766 - 22 years before the one in Richmond. However, while the Richmond example has its original interior, this Georgian Theatre has had many other guises before becoming a music venue - from storage to sweet factory.

Today it is run by Stockton Music and Arts Collective, putting on live bands most nights of the week. These range in quality from local beginners to national tours, so there's always something worth seeing. As a venue, it is ideal - plenty of floor space, very high ceiling, cracking (well, it was when I built it) sound system (although it depends on the skill of the engineer on the night). The beers are a decent quality, mostly mid-priced, but no hand-pull.

Expect a very varied mix of people, from mainly 'kids' before 10.30pm on Friday (Rock Night), to regulars, passers-by and proper music fans and tecchies. Worth a trip - but bring back Bri! ;o)
