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

Yup, Madison's.

Frank's place -> Goose Looney's - by ICBC in Rmd
Steel Monkey -> Milestones (?) - in Coq
Love Affair
Celebrities
MezaLuna

BTW that club in New West was Casablanca and at some point Studio 54(?)

Purple Onion couldn't have been across from Dicks as it was on Water Street in Gastown.

Shoot. Just realized I missed Brandy's as a current peeler bar in Vancouver and the old Blue Boys which is now a sports bar.

Purple Onion IIRC was in the building beside the Spaghetti Factory. Where the old Koolhaus was before they went belly up.

You forgot the Twilight Zone in Gastown,one of the best clubs around bitd,had the loudest dancefloor I ever heard,even to this day,too bad it's a restaurant now,good times for me & had very good memories from that place that I will never forget.

When Cecil closed that was a big loss to Granville Street, not only was it a great peeler bar but it had a lot of interesting Vancouver history associated with it. In the seventies, before it became a peeler bar, it was the location of the founding meetings of Greenpeace.

Girls always seem to forget that at one point in their lives they were those annoying LG's and the clubs they went to "before" were also LG/LB playgrounds at the time. :toot:


Anybody get a chance to go to Loft 6 before it got closed down after some Hells Angels shooting? I remember Snoop Dogg being there one night.

How about Victory afterhours. On the corner of Hastings and Cambie, across from Victory Park, downstairs. woot!! :spin:

Harvey Specter 05-08-2012 03:29 AM

I remember pulling up at Wett bar, valeting my uncles XJR with the valet who was in the A&W commercials and both Norm and the black dude they called "robo cop" walking us to VIP like we were movie stars. Ah, the good ol' days of clubbing.

And how can I forget to mention on the roxx, the only club that let in 16 years old and offered $1 highballs, lol.

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

Fraser arms had the best burgers.

That's it! Madisons, then The Drink, then Red Room. I went there the most during my very short 'clubbing phase'. Had lots of fun

I never went when it was madisons but +1 for the drink

civiccer 05-08-2012 08:43 AM

I remember going to Onyx on opening night. They had a hawaiian luau themed party and everyone wore lei's. That was a pretty fun place.

Plush was awesome to see house djs from europe.

Went to barfly a couple times.
Is that the one that's next to the hotel or in the hotel/casino on the corner up the hill somewhere?? I remember parking like 5 blocks away to get free parking and then having to walk up the hill drunk to get back to the car lol.

Went to stone temple a few times as well.

I think plush was my favorite out of all of them.
Never was much of a clubber.

sam0m0 05-08-2012 08:47 AM

oh right red room, I remember that now. There was also onyx which became pure night club I think, but both closed down now.

JSS 05-08-2012 09:13 AM

onyx/pure is a gym now lol.

i lived like 10 minutes from onyx, thursday nights there were fucking awesome... went there so much it got to the point where we used to just walk in through the back door. memories.

dinosaur 05-08-2012 09:30 AM

ok...i am SUPER dating myself...

Sonar was originally called The Town Pump. Changes in the late 90s to Sonar but the Town Pump was the original club/live music site.

MR_BIGGS 05-08-2012 09:34 AM

Anyone remember Chicago's in New West?

The place was grimey as hell. It had carpeted floors. If you stood on one spot too long, your foot would stick to the ground.

It was more of a bar, but they had a DJ on friday and saturday which played pretty good music. All the girls across the bridge would come :P
