The Burgundy Cobbler - Whitley Bay 1981
Depends what you count.
I'd say Guru in Glasgow but I'd been to various student unions and bars that were essentially clubs.
Never really enjoyed it though.
Eutopia and Washington Heights in Reading...
Mr Peggotty's in St Ives, done out like the inside of an upturned boat - great place, but long gone now converted into holiday flats like most of the rest of the town
Probably Echoes in Loughborough - Comfortably Sticky!
Norbreck Hotel in Blackpool for me...
Liquid in Newbury. Urgh!
Eclipse in brierley hill for me... was an utter dump but at the time we thought it was the greatest place on earth.
Got to admit tho we had some great fun there
5AMS
It was "a members only club". You had to go there before 8PM and buy you're beer tokens for the night.
Then the token bar closed and the Members only club opened, for drinks you would then redeem your tokens. It was open until 5AM this was in the mid
90's. Obviously some kind of licensing kludge.
Hot House in Exeter - the heady mix of beer, cheap perfume, smoke, and foam - them were the days!!!
The pink coconut in Derby - great times!
probably majestyk in leeds
I once went 5 times in one week
Ziggys in Basingstoke, got shut down before I turned 18, then started using Buds Bar, and Utopia in Reading.
The Crystal Rooms, Hereford.
Wowoweewaaaah! Great times,
The Carlton in Warrington, next to Woolies...
When my dad found out he asked if they had managed to keep hold of their bar licence, cos they often didn't have one when he went
Carousel Club Northallerton
This thread is a bit of a worry for me as I can't even remember the names of the clubs I went in! I wasn't really a nightclub person,
preferred lock ins at the local pub for a late drink. Cheaper as well.
Remember my first nightclub like it was yesterday, Roxy Sheffield 1983 a Thursday night went with the lads from work, Thursday night was grab a granny
night they called it

Buskers in Carlisle, small city that it is there wasn't much choice back then. Proper place though, dark, loud, expensive (at least for us country lads!) & sticky carpets! Loads of places in town now, different night altogether now.
The Palais in Leicester I think
Used to have a good snigger at the club occasionally featured in a TV comedy prog (Smith & Jones IIRC) whose name was 'WANQUERS'

Used to go to a little place called 'the venue' in Wolverhampton. Some good memories of the poo hole! Then it was 'The Dorchester' that we started going to. What a haunt!
Zens in dartford.
banging nights and good music. I still end up in there about once a year!
"One Block West" It was one block west of the Missouri Kansas Border on the Kansas side. Missouri had a 21 yr old drinking law and Kansas had an 18 yr old drinking law. I'm sure you Brit's never had such antiquated laws? Russ
The Park nightclub. Charnock Richard. Chorley. They did alot of hitman and her show there Pete waterman and michela stracken if it's pronounced

Actually, the first night club i went to was really a day club, a place in leeds called scrumpies, we'd be down there at 15 drinking newcastle
brown ale all afternoon, then go home for tea and try to look sober Happy days. They played all the best heavy metal.
"Blow Up" that was in a cellar near Greenmarket Square in Cape Town - guess I was around about 17 so 1966/7 or thereabouts - I'm amazed
I even remember that. 
'Crculation Club' Burnley in the late 60s.
Memorable bar for music/atmosphere/drink, 'The Amstedam Bar' Huddersfield in the late 70s.
I got around in those days eh?

Insanely bad Il Trovatore Nightclub in - Ilkey Circa 1988

Back in the days when God was young, I was taken to a place called "Club Crescendo", in one of the less attractive parts of Chatham.
Timewise circa 1959/60.
This Club was less nightclub, (although that's when it "hotted up" ), more of a strip joint. It was utterly repellent, and I left
early.
The following week, it was raided by the cops, and its subsequent closure, plus prosecutions, appeared later in the NoW.
That experience gave me long-held reservations about "nightclubs", although the younger generation informed me that such places are nowadays
more concerned with recorded music, and selling booze at inflated prices.
Plus ca change......

The Mandrake in Bristol, about a decade ago. The place was a cave, but they played good music on a Thursday night and the beers were cheap!
