About This Pub
Ah, The Turbinia – what a gem it is, tucked away in Newton Aycliffe. From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got this brilliant, welcoming feel that just draws you in, with folks raving about the live rock bands and events that really get the energy going. The staff are absolute stars, always on hand with a smile and prompt service, and there's a great mix of drinks to choose from, plus things like the jukebox, pool, and darts for a bit of fun. It's even got a friendly dog wandering about, which adds a nice touch of homeliness. On the flip side, though, the opening times can be a tad confusing, especially with those varying Sunday slots, so it's worth double-checking if you're heading out. And without a website, it's not the easiest to plan your visit online. All in all, it's a solid choice for anyone after a lively night; I'd say give it a try if you're in the area – you might just have a brilliant time!

More of a question,
What's the capacity of this venue please as looking to do something, it's located I believe, to be, perfect.
Always amazing atmosphere. Proud of this pub. Highly recommend. Been to see plenty of rock bands and live music here. Always had a blast! 🤘🏻🔥
The Turbinia we watched Fossil rockin The Turbinia last night and these are all the weird and wacky and random snaps and footage we got.
It was a woman's birthday so happy birthday to her and hope she had an amazing night!
Bumped into Samantha and it was a pleasure to chat with her and see how she was doing! Hopefully see her again at the Tub or elsewhere. Lovely lass and the energy and vibes at the Tub are always top notch.
Everyone is always wonderful and having a good time and you can dance however you want, I did rock out for five minutes but my ankle is angry about it today. I regret nothing! Ahaha!
It was nice to take a break from pain flares and listen to some rock music. 🎵
Thank you to Peter, my partner who took us there and back and we enjoyed a cheeky Chinese when home. I am calorie counting but it was after midnight so I can class it as some of today's calories bawahahaha.
I'm so glad I chose to go out in the end, and the few drinks helped with pain and it was such a fun yet relaxed environment. I've missed going to the Tub, when I first got out of my wheelchair I'd go here on my own to listen to the live music and I'm so glad I now have people to go with and enjoy with and share it with.
Class night. Enjoy the footage! Battery was low by the end so I managed to get two videos of the band but that was all.
Next time make sure the phone is fully charged ahaha.
