Newquay / Nightclubs
Newquay's club scene is smaller than it was. Berties shut in 2024, but you can still dance until 4am at the weekend. Here is where to go late, which bars warm up the night, and what to know before the door.
15 Fore Street
The town's main club: two dance floors and four bars, with room for 1,200. The Sailors Arms pub next door is the usual warm-up, and the club runs themed and fancy dress nights through the winter.
8-10 Beach Road
The former Koola, now a late bar with rock, alternative, drum and bass and bassline nights. Events run to 4am with last entry at 2am. Entry rules are set per event; the nights we checked were 18 and over with photo ID.
Sailors hours from its own website; The Dead Famous from Skiddle event listings in 2026. Both checked 9 November 2026.
Most bars close between 11pm and 1am, so start in town and move to Sailors or Beach Road later.
35 Fore Street
Sports, quiz nights and happy hour, a few doors up from Sailors.
7 Gover Lane
Open decks, karaoke, open mic and jam nights. Opens at 5pm on weekdays.
The Crescent
The old Walkabout above Towan Beach, reopened in summer 2026 with occasional ticketed late events.
9-10 Central Square
Darts, shuffleboard, karaoke and axe throwing. Good for groups who want something to do before the dancing. Closes at midnight.
Newquay is small, and the late venues are a few minutes' walk apart.
Sailors and Belushi's, with The Fort Inn further along. The Red Lion is just above the harbour on North Quay Hill.
Bars, pubs and clubsThe Dead Famous Liquor Lounge on Beach Road, and Cave Activity Bar on Central Square.
Whiskers on Gover Lane, and Rattler Beach House above Towan Beach.
Venues follow Challenge 25, so expect to show ID if you look under 25. A passport, photo driving licence or PASS card works. Since 15 September 2026 venues in England may also accept certified digital ID, but they do not have to.
Late venues set entry, age and dress rules per night. Look at the event page or ask the door before you queue, especially as a stag or hen group in fancy dress.
Clubs close at 4am, long after the last bus and train. Book a taxi before you go out or save a local number.
Taxis and getting homeNewquay's best-known club closed for good on 25 November 2024.
The Beach Road club became The Dead Famous Liquor Lounge, which still runs late nights in the same building.
The Australian-themed bar on The Crescent is now Rattler Beach House.
Venues checked against their own websites and listings on 9 November 2026. Opening times change with the season, so check with the venue before you head out.
