They are almost a thing of the past with the extended pub opening hours. Which ones were or are you favourite haunts?

Southend? You must've done Zero 6 as well, surely?
Takashi Mike:
The Cube was The Green Man back when I lived in Leytonstone.
I also frequented:
Cali Ballrooms, Dunstable
New Penny, Watford (My GF at the time was at teacher's training college at Radlett).
Numerous in Cambridge (Belinda's / The Dorothy / Rex, Magrath Avenue / Ronelle's / Howard Mallet). Anyone who went to The Dorothy will remember the Sweat Box...)
Wigan Casino and various other Northern Soul venues.
Plus many others I worked in as a DJ in the 70s, mainly across East Anglia and on the East Coast.
The thought of 'going out' now at 10 or 11pm is a definite no no… I have a six year old who always gets up very early, and you have to grab your own sleep when you can... :-)

There was a small Columbian club called the Sol y Sombre at the end of Charlotte street,remember rolling out of there at six in the morning and getting a tube then an overground back to Romford
Another was the cask and glass Holburn way mid 80,s always packed,sweat and nicotine was dripping off the ceiling used to come out of there like we'd been tango'd.
I doubt clubs like them are about nowadays.

Strawberry sundae was pretty good, didn’t like the Colosseum much.
Best ones were the ones under the railway arches by the squats.

Whoever mentioned Satellite in Vauxhall - that was one of the best nights in the mid 90s, and there was plenty of competition

i worked with a couple of Millwall boys in the late 90’s and had a few nights down the old Kent rd, Gin palace, ceasers and some little spiel called dillingers I think.
They were constantly telling me to keep my mouth shut on the way down but when we were in there were telling everyone laughing their heads off. No one gave a fuck and were good as gold with me.

Couple of MATES formed a band and did a gig in the tunnel club, prob the only show they did.
Remember missing the last bus through the tunnel and was to tight/pissed/poor to pay for a taxi so 4 of us ran through it.
Can’t even run for a bus these days.

The Bass Clef in Hoxton before the likes of Gavvy fucked the place up......Jazz, Funk and Soul in abundance for those that knew how to get funked up.

Went to the one in Romford (pub crawl including Yates, Brannigans, Mcsluskeys etc) and there was one in Basildon.Went to the Basildon one on a Friday before Forest(a) on the Saturday - was on the train to Nottingham throwing up and it was bloody 0-0!
