vancouvers club history
 

ok, any of you older folks remember all the clubs since you were younger?

for example, before gossip there was plush, before boss there was atlantis and before was wett bar, before fabric there was sonar...

also share some memories of vancouver club history for some of the youngins.

OZONE is now a Save on foods, or how about on the rocks which is now a Indian resturant lol

Gotta love surrey bars....

That 'club' in Richmond behind Tim Hortons/Domo :fuckthatshit:

Anybody remember Purple Onion? I don't even know what the Rage is called nowadays.

Funktion Fridays @ The Big Bamboo and Daddyo's. The hydraulic cages were quite something for us when we were 19. Now, condos are on that block (the Denny's is still there though.)

A few off the top of my head:
- Sonar - Grande Wednesdays
- Purple Onion on Saturday nights
- Pure (or whatever it was called) on Kingsway
- Viva Club in Richmond
- The Shark Club on Lougheed (where Joey now is)
- The old Bimini's (before it burned down and became a Donnelly Pub)
- Plaza for the first couple of years (great house music on Saturday nights)

the rage became plush which is now gossip.

plaza -> venue

stone temple -> joseph richards

cherry bay -> modern -> post modern

tonic -> has some weird name now

Went to Purple a few times. What about White sands and Richards on Richards.

wasnt the modern 7 alexander?
richmond had viva club and club the blox LOL
i went to the blox for my 19th or 20th bday i think

HOZONE

Purple onion
Plaza
Some club next to PO called Seven? Or some with number 7.
Is stone temple still around?

i think it was 7 alexander before it was cherry bay. that place has had so many name changes its not even funny.

and tapioca, pure went: studebakers -> onyx -> pure... lots of good times at onyx, makes me feel old lol.

Another one which comes to mind is Loft 6 in Gastown. It is now the Diamond.

Ah Plaza, my first clubbing experience. Good times.

Also $3.25 Canadians and Tequila Shots at Wild Coyote... Bad times.

were those 'clubs'?
for some reason i thought purple onion was a jazz lounge

i read the thread title and was expecting a history on car clubs in vancouver :blushsmile:

Purple Onion was across the street from Richards.

^ The Wild Coyote was a fun place - forgot about that one.

I was on Granville Street on Saturday night to meet some drunk friends and my, what a gong show that place has become. There are still some decent places left like the Roxy and Bar None, but I feel sad for the kids these days.

I showed up at Wild Coyote before right after ladies night fuck I was scared and hid in the back with a couple buddies while the male strippers took off..

But the ladies were good to go thats for sure:fullofwin:

oh ya! Dicks on Dicks. Wasn't there that club that was in North Van at Lonsdale? Tantra lounge or something?

luce's - 686 - pop opera
the drink, forgot what its called now

The Shark Club used to put the tables away on Saturday nights and bring a DJ in.

Here's another one: the current Red Room used to be "The Drink."

And can we start discussing the many gentlemen's clubs this city used to have? :lol

richards actually lasted up until a year or two ago.
yeah tantra is now boston pizza. used to go there all the time, my friends cousin was djing there. one of the best views around.

MARS --> something? -->atlantis---> boss---> nothing. llol.

LOL.

Didn't MARS become Wett Bar.
