Five taps - the place itself, then the sound, the sightlines, getting in and out and what the bar charges - and this page starts telling people what Riverside 1 is actually like to stand in. There is room to write about it as well - one entry each, added to over the years.

Written on the way home

What people wrote about nights here

  • A guest 100% on The Pogues · Thu, 04 Dec 1997

    With the passing of Shane, I recall this concert as one of thee BEST I have ever witnessed. Shane went awol, found then plonked on stage some 90 mins after the scheduled start time. His eyes closed, griping the mic, he was out of it! But the music started and he was off, never missing a beat, screeching and hollering, feeding off the crowd. What a performance. What a gig. What a memory. Gartha Shane.

  • A guest 100% on Beastie Boys · Tue, 16 Jun 1992

    One of the best gigs I've seen. Really intimate and great support in Henry Rollins.
    Check Your Head is a classic and shows how good the Beastie Boys were.

    one of the most intimate gigs. The BBs came to the bar and shared a Newcastle Brown Ale. Decent chaps.

  • A guest 100% on Dan Reed Network · Sun, 14 Jan 1990

    Great show. Remember they started with cruise together. Lots of flashing blue lights on stage. Dan's guitar was covered in denim I seem to remember. Superb and memorable gig bass and guitar sounded amazing alongside Dans vocals. still have my ticket to this day
