The best nightclub...

[thisonebreath]

Off the back of the other thread... what's the best nightclub you've ever been to?

(Disclaimer - my clubbing days were late 90s. Memories may be distorted by time. 😉)

Turnmills in Farringdon - Heavenly jukebox/heavenly social nights.

The Cross in king's cross. Three floors if I remember rightly catering for different tastes.

There are others but these are the main two I went to.

Also, my student union mid-week night at The Rocket - The Big Fish. Cheap drinks, epic dancing. 😁😁😁

The gardening club in Covent Garden
Gatecrasher at the arches in Sheffield
Space terrace in Ibiza!

Tiger Tiger, ministry of sound

Another one for Lakota! Used to go there every Saturday night from South Wales, brilliant nights and always fun having tea and toast at the services with everyone else on their way back

Wobble in Birmingham was another great one...only went there for a year though when I first went to Uni before I became a bit more sensible and stopped having so much fun!

I'm a 90s clubbing kid....

Pure - Edinburgh
Sativa - Edinburgh
Sunnyside Up (Sunday morning Vauxhall arches?) - London
Turnmills (can't remember which particular night - think Trade was on afterwards) - London

Astoria labyrinth dungeons warehouse Camden palace there were loads back in the days had so many good night's oh forgot bagleys

The State in Liverpool in the mid 80's. There was always someone in the 6th form common room with a stack of free tickets for Friday night - as long as you were in the club by 10. The place was packed with 16 and 17 year olds.

The loos were downstairs and the walls of the stairwell were mirrored. You were weird/posh if you went into the cubicle on your own and the fug of hairspray by the mirrors was a fire hazard.

@TooOooOnaStubbs that was the Heavenly Social nights - we'd sometimes stay for Trade as well. Good times.

Another bite for Spiders in Hull but in the 80’s. It was all dark and gothic but the music was fab. Theatre of Hate, The Clash, Echo and the Bunnymen etc. Upstairs there was a smaller room where they played Stevie Wonder, James Brian etc. It was so cheap and they let us in at 16. Perfectly safe no fights and no drugs. Just lots it Tarantulas

It’s older equivalent was Silhouette which was a fab gay club in a basement in an old Victorian house. If you were over 6ft you had to stoop. It was the era of New Romantics so all the boys wore make up. Again they were pretty innocent times.

The 90’s we’re very different and I lived in Manchester. The Hacienda was fab but certainly edgier then my earlier clubbing experiences!

You would have to pay me to go to a club now! The music just doesn’t appeal to me.

@thisonebreath 😃 I was new to London then and really enjoyed those nights.

Subsonic at The King of Clubs in Gillingham Kent. Indie alternative night was just epic, I found my fellow weird people there. Made some great friendships to this day.
It's about to be bulldozed and I could cry.

Black Sheep Bar in Croydon. There were other great nights in town, if you could be arsed to go to them, but the Black Sheep was consistently a really really fun night out.

Liverpool folks do you remember where Garlands was when the original site burnt down?
It was a grand ballroom type place? I remember good ceilings and dancing on tables?

Limit Sheffield. No contest.
Rhythm Rooms Sheffield was pretty good as well.

Room at the Top in Bathgate. Was only a tiny bit underage but it felt amazing to be at a ‘proper’ club with its three separate rooms.

Also loved the atmosphere at the Arches. Everyone so friendly! Then again it may have been the E...I never dabbled but went out and about with a nice crowd, some of whom enjoyed chemical enhancement.

The Zone in Preston. House club in an old Victorian Mill

Jesters, millennium and C103 in Plymouth. Spent many happy nights in them

I mentioned it on the other thread because it was awful and had rats at one point, but Planet in Wolverhampton.

Back in the day when Steve ran it. It was all about the music - you'd go in your hoodie and jeans and have the best time. Headbanging was not optional.

It's still open but now it's full of people dressed up and it's just not the same.

Trade at Turnmills
Melt at Turnmills on a Sunday night
Paradise Factory Manchester
Danceteria Manchester
Hacienda Manchester
Boardwalk Manchester
PSV Hulme
The Kitchen Hulme

The Garage in Glasgow. Loved the place and went most Thursdays and Sundays for student nights. Always ended the night singing along to Build me up Buttercup!

The Parliament in Belfast before it became Mint or Mynt or whatever. My best mate was a gay man and I had some of the best nights ever there
Likewise the Kremlin in the very very early noughties.
Milk

I never did any of these as none of my friends were into clubbing. What's needed is a club for 40-somethings and I'll bloody well go on my own.

Alternative/Goth Night at Charles Nightclub in 1980's Cheltenham, it was on a Sunday night and was the place to be.

Eve's nightclub (also in Cheltenham in the 1980s).

Happy memories of teenage Goth Athena waving my arms around to Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy, Caberet Voltaire etc.

Such good good times

Labyrinth in Dalston London. And Rhythm Station in Aldershot. Both buildings were shitholes but my god the atmosphere was amazing. Happy days.

I also went to Megatripolis at Heaven under the arches in London. That was a bizarre but amazing place.

Can't believe no one has mentioned Baja Beach Club in Newcastle circa 1999

Angels - Burnley
Vague / Speed Queen - Leeds
Sundissential - Fantastic wherever the location!

God, I miss those days... 😣😣😣
