It would be interesting to kno how old people are that make Crystals sound like "Cream"! When your under age and you get into Crystals, you feel its the best thing since sliced bread and it will only take time for these youngsters to move away from Newtown to realise what a good club is.

i think that crystals is borin its alright for da old clubbers who like boring music lols. But where is da club life it aint in newtown der no dnb really part from the exchange on special nights. There is no hardstyle and no good clubs with big events. I hav'nt been in lush yet but was advised not to and also for crystals which i went 2 last saturday...

I think Newtown is great for nightlife, I especially love Crystals which plays a great mixture of music maybe a few more clubs to vary peoples music taste plus crystals can get very crowded at times. Also a variety of DJs will make crystals more enjoyable for some!

Some of the happiest times of my life in Newtown, because it depends on your mates but thats the same everywhere. We used to start in the angel and go on from there. Many many years ago now. still miss the place and have never met better people.

Anyone who thinks Newtown is a decent place is obviously deluded. Having had the misfortune to grow up there, I tend to avoid the place as much as possible. I advise anyone reading this to do likewise. As you can tell from most posts on here, the only way to derive any enjoyment is to get out of your face. Hence the drug culture and scum that pulls the town down. People seem to think that because the place is so mind-numbingly boring that it's a good place to raise children, how wrong they are. When your kids have nothing to do, is it any wonder they start smoking weed, and almost inevitably end up on harder drugs? IF you want children to thrive then they need varied and intelligent people with which to interact. You'll find neither in this cesspit...

I think Newtown is great if you have kids with you.There are loads of shops...well ok... it's a bit boring and I agree there should be a few more nightclubs but hey it's wales, it's meant to be boring.

There's absoloutely no fun to be had on a dancefloor where you're not allowed to drink on! Sticky floor fuhtuhwuh ooh and broken glass for the risk factor!

Pick a hundred town blogs, anywhere you like, Macclesfield, Leighton Buzzard, Chipping Sodbury, Luton.. and the split of opinion will be proportioned exactly the same. Give or take 5% or so, 33.3% will love the place, 33.3% can take it or leave it, 33.3% will hate the joint. Newtown is no exception, it fits that demograph perfectly. I've enjoyed reading all your posts, even the most derogatory ones. I just hope anyone thinking of coming here for whatever reason, reads the entire groundswell of opinion, sees it for themselves and makes up their own mind. I've made up my own mind have no regrets about relocating here in 2000 from the valleys (and there I open another powder keg of opinion!) I fully appreciate the town's shortcomings in terms of entertainment and amenities, but for raising a family, I doubt there is a better region in the UK. It all fits in terms of the rural environment, the unspoilt countryside, the school, the people. But this is an entertainment blog of course and to that I can only say the best times and best memories centre around the company you keep and not the surroundings or the number of BPM in the DJ's set. OK, we haven't got The Ministry of Sound or the Hacienda but we've got Crystals and the Monty Club!

Newtown has gone from bad to worse... Top on our avoid list now.Crystals plays the same cheese every weekend - Stand still in there long enough and you'll stick to the floor...Majority of places have the attitude of make as much money as possible, regardless of actually putting a good night on.Best bet is to carry on up the road, Barcode in Llani do regular proper Dj nights using local talent.. Can't go wrong Shrewsbury...or Oswestry either.

Newtown is crap for a night out,used to go there a lot when there weren't too many yobs drunk on the streets, but now go out elsewhere. Crystals is the most boring night club I have been to. We need a massive change, Aber or Cardiff is the place to go out.
Tue Jun 5 11:34:45 2007
Yeloop, now in Manchester
Ahh Newtown - such a god foresaken hole. There are only 2 ways out of Newtown for most people, and that is either in a coffin or in a police car. I, like a few others, found the 3rd option which is to buy a one way train ticket... Nothing ever changes there - I bet I could go back in 10 years time...Seriously, if you are reading this and are also one of the people that think Newtown is amazing, take a long hard look and get out of there....it's a very big world with lots of experiences, different people to be met and things to discover - that town will only bring you down.

Newtown sucks. I've lived hear all my life and ther is nothing to do except drink in the park. They complain about yobs around maby if they had gooood clubs pubs and maby a skatepark.

Newtown has gone really down hill recently, all the pubs and clubs kick out is cheese! Nothing new ever on.. depressing, and they wonder why there's so much trouble - the place is depressing! Get some DJ's in, House, Electro, Hard Dance night etc on somewhere and give these people a good night out for once!

Yeah its a shame to see Newtown being so bad for good nights, especially when no clubs are serious to put good name dj's up to play. For instance crytals seem to have people getting payd to give shout outs and press the play button. Maybe they should let dj's like myself play, it brings dj's down who have alot of talent to play.

It seems Newtown is going up in the world, its actually got a website. Well considering I used to live in town 4 16 years i dont miss the nitelife whatsoever. Even tho its good to go back once in a blue moon and experience the nite life once again but thats all I would ever do. The nitelife was/is playin the same music, over and over seeing the same faces all the time (not that some of the faces weren't that bad 2 look at)same ppl kickin off making themselves look like idiots the clubs are crap, its just purely boring. Living in Cov now and the nitelife here is 100 times better, we're gettin new clubs built as we speak the clubs weve got have different things going on on different nites.

Nathaniel from Newtown
Poor in most places. Try Waggon and Horses(this is the correct spelling btw). They know how to keep beer and they serve excellent food in restaurant. Exchange not too bad. Elephant and Castle OK. Avoid Sportsman - expensive and lots of underage kids.

Newtown is brill! Yes crystals is a bit of a hole but it has a mixture of the new music an the old classics its great if youre in the mood for a dance. Castle, Angel and Exchange are the best pubs. They have a dancefloor and pool table etc. Good drinks which aren't that expensive contrary to what lots ppl on here been sayin. Also i've been out in plenty of other places, Oxford mainly and although its a great night out there is still something nice about Newtown. Always see someone you know the ppl are friendly and the pubs are nice plus they all close together- bonus.

The only good night out in Newtown is getting some tinnies and heading to a mates house!!! Too many drunken idiots on the streets these days.

I love Newtown. I usually start about 7 on a friday hitting the ale hard. Start at the black boy and usually end up in the vaults. I've been doing this for the past 20 years and I can't see why I'd want to change it. Heaven!

Like many have said, 'same thing, week in week out, year in year out. No change there then.

Now living in London i miss crystals so much! everyone needs a bit of the cheesy stuff every once in a while! Love the exchange, the angel is definately growing on me and the castle is just wicked-all of which do great food in the day and great musinc in the night. Miss the place like crazy- cant wait til xmas so i can get back there and party like yester-year!!

Newtown is hit and miss, the Castle Vaults is definitely the best pub in town, best atmosphere, great crowd and decent (mixed properly) club tunes, if only Crystals had that....

Ali & Russ
You could always try the estate pubs, there are new people in both the Shuttle and the Red Dragon who are friendly, they have entertainment at the weekends, play bingo in the week and serve brill food!! and the beer is good too, what more do you need.
Tue Jun 27 12:45:19 2006
Wayne Peter
If it's trendy, melodic wine bars full of Hip and 'beautiful people' you're after, then you better carry on up the A483 passed Oswestry and Wrexham and take the M56 to Manchester as Newtown is definitely not the place for you. Yes, like most of the area's market towns, it may have not moved forward from the 'pub to wine-bar' and still serves real beer in real pint glasses with a pack of scratchings and a pickled egg, but make no mistake you know exactly where you are with the Mid-Wales town. The people are friendly and mostly welcoming, and the place has an atmosphere all of its own - and you don't have to be wearing Armani or Gucci to get a conversation with a women, a bottle of WKD will usually suffice.
Thu Jun 8 14:09:15 2006
Bekka Harley
Same ol' same ol' every weekend in Newtown, so at least when you're getting ready for a night out you know exactly what's in store. I don't think all the pubs are like youth clubs, as said below; a lot of people here work in the week just to go out in town and blow all their money getting bladdered.. and that's the over 25s. Nightlife here doesn't even come close to Bristol, where I came from, but the cost is the same. Still, like I said you know what you're getting.
Tue May 30 09:49:05 2006

A night out in Newtown is mediocre at best and expensive. I am from Mid Wales and currently live in Birmingham, where it's cheaper! What's going on?
Wed May 10 13:35:21 2006

Newtown has the worst nightlife I have ever experienced. The only way a night out in Newtown becomes tolerable is if you are really drunk and with good friends. The prices to get into Crystals are a joke and why at the end of an evening do I have to listen to the village people singing YMCA? What is with that? I think anyone who thinks a night in Newtown is good has probably never left Newtown.

Wow, lots of people commenting on the "night life" in Newtown. Don't get me wrong because i've hade a couple of great nights out with all my mates back there. but that was because of the mates and not the town itself. In general, the town has not and never will have a great night out. Maybe some of you need to have a look around the country and god forbid the rest of the world!!

Wow what's happened? Been away for a while. The edge??? Gone from club to seedy, empty side alley dive. The Buck? really good for live bands. The grapes, nice place to chillout and sport, and the castle vaults, major turn around, double the size, wkd crowded atmosphere and djs!

Cerri from Newtown
Town never changes!! Same music, same shi*, just different day. I'm living in London now, so at least there's more clubs, compared to the 1 we have in town (if you can call that a club). It is nice to come back & have a night out, but glad it's only once in a while-AND I have to be really drunk!

Ok yeah let's rock n roll baby!! Love to hit the town early on Friday night after a few cans at the house. Down the Queen's head to shoot some pool and nail some shorts. Then a brisk skip into town. Don't forget to turn the stove off before I leave the house.

Newtown is a good night out, you can have a good crack with your mates, as everyone knows everyone round here you've got be careful not to go over the top because everyone will know about it the next day! My advice is to stay away from the Treowen Lads, good lads but crazy!

hey people ... what can i say . its hell of a town. been to a few places in my time but newtown always comes up tops . love the exchange theres always something going on. an crystals is fantastic, then finishing the night up at snax.

Totally different from the nights out that i've been on at Ibiza,Majorca. It's the same every week at Newtown but the nights out are good though,bubbling full of life pubs with great music, staff and DJ'S 'Lion,Angel,Castle,exchange' and the night clubs to finish the night off Crystals and the Edge, best town for nights out in the county.
Fri Oct 14 15:08:56 2005

Hello everyone. Well there is nothing better than starting your night at the cambrian inn best pub in town, move on to the angel, then onto the edge for some quality dance tunes. lets ave it!

I work at the Post Office and I get to see a lot of the town. I go out most weekends with my friends. My favourite pub is the Pheasant Inn. There is always something happening! What better way to finish the night than having an old Treowen school boogie at Crystals Palaces. Rock on!!

The Castle Vaults.
Their karaoke on a thurs and sunday nite is simply the best.
Sat Jan 15 21:28:31 2005
ah, me
if your into metal music then you should try the buck, though pick your night carefully, they sometimes have bingo night and some other stuff, even gigs
Thu Jan 13 17:04:31 2005
Aled
The Lion is banging! Start your nite there and youll be in for a treat! Then groove down to the Angel for a pint of Bud, the only place to av it in pint size doses! Then to the buck, for a Jim Beam!! They should sell that everywhere like in Aber, by far the best value Bourbon Whiskey! The edge is good but if you're heading for Crystals or X-cells, go there before 1030 to get in free, and check out the diffent music on 3 different floors! Totally class! Exchange is good... Then Crystals, up on the balcony watch the drunks dance the night away! then get down n dance!
Wed Jan 5 12:30:19 2005

i just want to add that life in Newtown is better than some places i know, but i still get bullied in school. it's not fair, and i think as sed below, all people should be accepted for who they are. one of these days someone will be respected for being themselves and not someone they've had to be because of peer presure. stick at it, those who are bullied, keep ur chins up!

Been living and working as a dj for 8 years now, (the clubs down here rock, check out Bertiesclub, I'm resident there and it's Cornwall's biggest - 2000 capacity), but I still love coming to Newtown to catch up on a few familiar faces, see you soon!!

Start and finish your night in the exchange folks! Quiet chat until nine when they put the music on and then once you've treked around town on the beer crawl back in to the x-cells were they now open til late.. and you don't pay to get in like crystals and the edge... More pennier for the the beer!

Night life in Newtown is much like groundhog day....every day! The Angel and the Edge can be a good laugh though.

Having moved from Newtown to Cardiff, I have great memories of the place. Its good to go back every now and then and catch up with old mates. Newtown folk tend to drink too much but know how to have a good time and make you feel welcome. Cannot remember the name of last pub I visited but it used to be a pool bar by Argos. Great night, Great music.

The nightlife in Newtown is good if you haven't been out there in a while! It tends to be the same most weekends.

Newtown is a great place to go out once in a while. There are a great variety of pubs, from the lion to the angel the sportsman to the castle, to the newly revamped elephant and castle and the exchange to meet your mates. Finish off at crystals or the edge, wherever you are you are sure to have a good time.

Newtown has a great night life if you are actually from the area and are guaranteed to see ex-school mates out and about. Best pub for a meeting up with everyone and entertainment - The Castle Vaults.

Newtown is one hell of a laugh if you have the right company, all the pubs are great, the best is the Lion, where else does a snooker table turn into a stage at night!!! ...

The Castle Vaults is definately one of the better pubs to go, they don't let the teeny-boppers in... that's one pub where the land lady and staff seem to care about their work ...

night life used to be great in newtown. i ve lived here all my life and seen many changes i can tell you.most of the pubs in newtown are just like youth clubs at the weekends no more quiet drinks for us older generation.do we really need the loud music in the pubs?you cant hear yourself think,and at the end of the night the inevitable trouble happens,oo many young ones who cant handle their drink.

If your looking for something different then don't bother. If your looking for a handful of mediocre pubs playing the same music every week then your in luck. Crystals used to be superb, but that was nearly 10 years ago!...I used to spend most of my time in the Castle pub, which had the most varied music though I've no idea what its like now...

Newtown is really poor when it comes to going out. I lived in Newtown for all my life, but the last three years I have moved away with work. Currently living down the South of England, the night life is ten times better . . .

Newtown’s good fun - loads of pubs and good-looking girls! Mind you, I enjoy my nights out in Cardiff from time to time but you spend a lot more then

Andrew Davies from Kerry
The Bear and The Exchange are a good laugh but the beer’s good everywhere! The great thing is that you know everyone when you’re out and that most places are open late on a weekend. Most pubs have a disco so you don’t always have to spend your money on getting into a club.

Fridays are definitely the best nights out in Newtown but Saturdays and Sundays are pretty good, too. Our favourite pub's The Castle Vaults but there are lots of other good pubs as well. There's always a fun atmosphere.

Where are the happening places in Newtown? Where do you have to go to have a great night?
