Another for Union Street in Plymouth

Oz (was then Blondz and now closed)
JFKs

The Academy shut down the year before I went to uni, and then re-opened shortly after I left. Never visited but it was pretty epic by all accounts.

Some pretty cool pics of the place on the 28dayslater forum here:

Scrumpies/Adam n Eve's , Leeds premier metal club (RIP)
Drank copious amounts of Newcastle brown there. It was the dirtiest club in the world but we loved the place , you stuck to the carpet as you walked across it and I usually fell asleep(drunk) with my head in a bass bin.
It's also the place where I finally copped off with mrscarlos over 23 years ago 😀

XL's Birmingham Five Ways - sticky carpets, sweat dripping from the ceiling and going 5 shades of mental to Limp Bizkit til 4AM then walking back to uni halls as the sun came up.

The dodgy geezers in suits who'd got lost trying to get to the underworld gambling den upstairs added a certain variety too.

Happy days

Hands down had the best nights of my life in Sankeys Soap with my mates, nothing beats it at all. This was before the refurbishment, mind.

Not sure I'd describe it as 'good' but certainly 'memorable' was Insomniakz in Sheffield. Used to go there after Gatecrasher shut and would stay there all through Sunday afternoon. Only club I've been to where they had an ambulance permanently stationed outside. Remember seeing three people get stretchered out in the space of about 2 hours once. Also witnessed some guy have a seizure whilst taking a piss in the urinals 😯

Also an illegal/unofficial after party place called the Red House in Manchester. Saw some sights in there. Homeless people with their dogs, crackheads dancing to Jungle with babies on their shoulders at 6am 😯

Also Pressure after-hours in Manchester, god it's all coming back to me now.

Tall Trees wasn't terrible. Back in the days when it was more exclusive, before the £15 all you can drink nights. Mid-90s.

How the hell has this thread got to 3 pages without anybody mentioning the legendary Quadrant Park in Liverpool?

The place had it's problems but for a couple or 3 years in the late 80's/early90's there was nowhere better. Knocked spots off the hacienda!

Q club in Birmingham - atomic jam specifically, but flashback or many others.
Earko @ custard factory, B'ham
The end in London
Sankeys soap in Manchester
The original warehouse project venue @ strangeways
The bunker -Alderney, not actually a nightclub, just an actual bunker which the police turn a blind eye to, because there are no clubs on the island - top notch, all nighters and longer.

As a Leeds lad I have to say Basics but I'm glad a few people have mentioned Turnmills; spent the mid 90's in London and rolled into Trade many a Sunday morning to do the 6am til 12 shift before moving onto Villa Stefano in Holborn, happy days, god knows how my brain's intact 😳

I use to be a regular at the Hayfield in Leeds, not your classic nightclub, but always dancing Red Stripe and trouble, sadly which in the end, got way out of hand.
