Advantages: Lots, if you like pain and fear Disadvantages: Lots, if you don't like pain and fear
...have previously heard about the Pig and Whistle, take it from me in good faith - there simply aren't the words to describe how bad this pub actually is. My review could actually save your life.
Situated in the middle of Newcastle's Bigg Market, juxtaposed nicely beside sister hell-hole Yel, you'll often see Sarah Michelle Gellar karate kicking the creatures who lurch out of here on a Friday / Saturday / Sunday evening. It doesn't really matter which ... ...on the door of the Pig and Whistle and he assures me that he and his colleagues are the highest paid doorstaff in the whole of Newcastle, simply because nobody wants to work here. In addition to his usual doorman attire and accessories he is also required to wear a stabproof vest, which has saved his life on more than one occasion.
It's so horrific I couldn't for the life of me tell you how much the drinks were, as I hurriedly handed over a note ...

Advantages: In the middle of all the pubs, handy for clubbing Disadvantages: too busy, too loud

Advantages: good if your young and into dance music Disadvantages: too young and rough for my liking
The Pig and Whistle is located in the centre of town, in what is known as the Bigg Market( the young, mad part of town).The pub is very young and extremely loud (gosh,im getting old!)

The ... ...at one end and the dj booth at the other. There are always long queues at the bar and it takes forever to get served, especially at the weekend. There are only one set of toilets available and they are always flooded, with doors hanging off, no toilet paper etc.
Im not a fan of this pub, maybe when i was younger but definitley not now. The doormen seem to let all sorts in, and ive been put off by the clientele in there on occassions.
Like i said, ...
