About This Pub
You know, when I popped into The Big Club, it really struck me as one of those classic spots that pulls in the crowd for a good reason – it's got this expansive layout with five bars and plenty of rooms, so whether you're after a casual catch-up or something more lively, it's got you covered. The drinks are well-priced and there's a nice variety to choose from, and I have to say, the staff are absolute gems, always up for a chat and making sure everything runs smoothly. Then there's the entertainment side – bingo, tribute acts, and those special music nights keep things fresh and exciting, especially if you're into that sort of thing. Oh, and it's fantastic how they've nailed the accessibility, making it a welcoming place for all. But, fair play, it's not without its downsides; from what I've heard from a few folks, there might be the occasional mess-up with events, like struggling to get in or the heating not being up to par, which could put a dampener on things. All in all, it's a solid choice for a night out in Newton Aycliffe – just keep an eye on the details if you're planning something big, and you'll likely have a cracking time.

A huge sized club (clues in the name), 5 bars, providing various size rooms, well presented, good choice of drinks at reasonable prices. Some rooms available for function hire. Very popular Christmas to New year. Has bingo sessions and act's on some evenings. Also some special music nights, such as Northern Soul.

A very nice club and the perfect meeting place in Newton Aycliffe. The staff are friendly, helpful and supportive. The venue is the obvious choice for our weekly drop in centre. Thank you to all for looking out for our servicemen, veterans and their families.
