was it called the royal?

Glad to know I hit up the decent clubs before it turned into LG/LB's playground

what was you guys' clubbing experience that finally made you realize ur too old for clubbing? and dont say seeing 16 year olds at atlantis/boss cause thats normal

mine was a tie between - probably going to canvas when it first opened and they didnt have 151 and disnt know what the three/four wisemen was. clubbing turned all high class on me. or when when all those clubs became a parade of a bunch of shiny ed hardy shirts evrrywhere.

club xoxo

Yup. That was it.

Now its "unrented office space"

If you're looking for class b rental space with a hint of must in the air, then you need to go to "unrented office space". Junkies down below, fine clientele in the pay by the week hotel upstairs and something funny about midgets, this club is for you"

There was that one in burnaby on kingsway by Tim Hortons that got leveled for another condo tower too.

Now: strip clubs.

NBI is still there, no longer a show lounge and no longer NBI. Mugs closed and re-opened in Surrey. Um...that one in East Van that wasn't the #5...had the sleazy "hump your stripper" hotel upstairs.

Dammit..can't remember the name. We only went once and it was horrible.

My best memories are from the Fraser Arms, that time when they had the stripping waitresses, $8 pitchers, and $2 appies. At midnight all 4 waitresses would go up on the stage at the same time.

I can't stand dance clubs though. Went to a bunch when I was 19-20, pretty much always sucked. Not for me.

after working in a club for 2 years about 3.5/4 years ago

since then i've maybe been to 3-5 clubs, and most are out of town

hate clubbing.

Yep it was the royal. Shit I had some good times at Bar Fly

Don't forget Tommy's in Ridge which is now the Haney

speaking of the royal... that also used to be what is now "the forum"... such a dirty place back in the day lol.

LOL yea and at the time there was a big thing saying it was actually Dan Cloutier who was the driver and his injury at the time was fake b/c he had to deal with the investigation. BS

Lots of mentioned already but I'll name a few that I remember

Mars - Remember I was a teenage in HS and randomly tried to get in one night
Viva - oh Richmond
Purple Onion - Good ol early days of clubbing
BBB (Big Bamboo) On W Broadway across from BP - Turned into something else after that was a a hot spot for black people. Lots of shootings at BBB back in the day

Daddy O's and then Barcode.

Don't forget Madison's. I know at one point it was called Code Red.
In Gastown I remember going to a place called the Cellar.

As for peeler bars in Vancouver
Cecil's
Penthouse
Marble Arch
Drake
Fraser Arms
No. 5
NBI

Delaneys then Ozone FTW lol

Dont know how I used to shut the Ozone down so often on weekdays only to be at work for 730 the next morning... No chance I could do that these days.

I'm with you on that one, having a Saturday party on a Tuesday lol

1320 Richards: Wettbar, then Mars Cabaret, then becoming Atlantis, and then Boss Nightclub, and finally closed right now.

The only club I ever really enjoyed was the Red Room on friday nights. It had a different name before that but I can't remember.. Madisons? something like that

Very mixed/eclectic easy going crowd who were just there to have fun. I don't think that happens in Vancouver anymore does it?

My friends and I actually miss Fraser Arms quite a bit. It was a 5 min drive from our house, no cover, they had toonie time ($2 for food), and strippers all be it they were not usually that great but we didn't go for the girls anyways but the food. If the girls were decent it was just a bonus.

As someone posted already, it was the Viva Club for a time before it became XOX and then finally closed down.

honger club. oh man i remember the only time i went there was to do a dance performance. it was hurtin'

The Waldorf is one place in Vancouver proper where people check their attitudes at the door.

Bar None is a good club for hanging out, with easy going people Good DJs, good times. A good diverse crowd. The down side to Bar None is steep $18 cover charge.

Fortune Sound Club has by far the best sound system. -good high energy, crowd. No douchebags there.

also lotus and honey lounge, but they're gone as of recently :(
had way too much fun in there.

The Vinyl Lounge has replaced Honey, but I haven't been there myself. Any here been?

amd then there's Mirage, Cheers which I guess is closed I hear and don't forget the OB (Ocean Beach) in white rock....


Fuck I miss the Funky Planet, wicked hiphop music and slutty loaded Americans :okay:
