An intimate live music venue and bar. Voted #2 best venue in the city. Having hosted the likes of Royal Blood, Sleaford Mods, Drenge, Temples and Blossoms. Hidden in plain sight down Newcastle Chambers alley, The Chameleon is a music lovers haven with a tasty craft beer menu in the heart of the city.

My New Years Resolution is to go here more often. Lovely staff. The best pies. A good mixture of down to earth, friendly people. Quirky wallpaper. Games, books and magazines. Log fire. What more could anyone need!

Went to the televised showing of a live New Model Army 40th anniversary concert on Saturday, (40 years and 1 day after their first concert!) The Musician hosted the evening, with also a couple of live acts performing behind a perspex shield, with guests in family-groups on tables spaced well-apart, and with screens between them. COVID safety was a real priority. The atmosphere was lovely - despite the COVID rules - and the 2 live acts were also brilliant. The live-stream of New Model Army was brilliant - as these guys always are!! However the live-stream experience was in truth not that great due to some IT issues, (which may well have been nothing to do with the venue). But the overall evening was really lovely, and we'll always remember the "Blitz spirit" keeping venues like this alive, and keeping Live music Live. We came away from the evening with a lovely feeling, and to be absolutely honest, after a while we didn't even "see" the COVID rules, and the friendly and thoughtful host had made sure that everyone had a brilliant time. We felt a little sad that the venue took a fraction of what they'd have taken if the event was packed at usual levels - and I worry that this sort of place can stay open. The land-lord / host was such a nice guy - and drinks were reasonably priced and great quality, (we had a couple of bottles of nice red wine for £11 each - which went down very agreeably !!) The host gently, kindly, and respectfully made sure everyone wore masks whilst not in their seats, and generally did a brilliant job of making everyone feel at home - and the overall vibe of the place was brilliant. Places like The Musician are what keeps Live music alive - so anyone reading this revue, please visit The Musician, because without places like this, live music will become just a memory; acts need somewhere to play. Headlining acts will always find venues - but there won't be new acts coming through without venues like these - so keep up the good work, you guys at The Musician, and thanks for a lovely night out!! Final thought: New Model Army was a struggling new act on their first gig just over 40 years ago. Yes, they can pack arenas and do sell-out tours now, but if venues hadn't been around to allow unproven acts 40 years ago, and I'm guessing NMA wasn't polished then as they are now; without places like The Musician, these headlining acts might never have got off the ground!!
