I never go there before. vs I never been there before.

The correct sentence is "I have never been there before." The use of the present perfect tense "have been" is appropriate in this context to indicate an action that started in the past and has relevance to the present. "I never go there before" is incorrect due to the incorrect verb tense and structure.

This phrase is incorrect. The verb tense is wrong, and the structure is not appropriate for the context.

"I never go there before."

The correct form should be "I have never been there before." Use the present perfect tense to indicate an action that started in the past and has relevance to the present.
