The Roxy (I think?) in York, circa 1990. Best mate was at uni in York, the one rule for the best man's speech I did for him was "Don't mention that night in Roxy!"
So I opened by explaining that the one thing I woldn't be talking about was that night in the Roxy - that seemed to help 8)

Good times!
Q-ball in Durham. Particularly the night of the Italia90 semifinal.
Most eye-opening was the Tuxedo Princess in Newcastle. I wasn't naive, but went there one night with my cousin and his mates while I was a student in Durham, and it was 😯 with podium dancers, bar staff in underwear and locals who were very forward.
Actual best was one of the majors in London in the early 90s. I don't recall which but had 3 or 4 floors of different house music types. I'd never really got into that scene, being an indie jangly guitar band type, but that night I just got it, even without pharma assistance.
+1 for Orbit in Morley
Also Gallery in Leeds.
did Back to Basics in Leeds a few times in the early 90's, but The Warehouse was good back in the early 80's Goth days when I was a teen.
Ha ha, good thread.
Pantiles, Bagshot, spent far too much time there.
The Church, Kings X, not really a nightclub but what a way to start Sunday morning!
The Promised Land in '89
Not really a clubber but spent a night in Trafo in Bratislava last year and it was ace, really packed, everyone smoking (which was quite odd for the first 15 minutes!) then loads of bad central european dancing with the locals! I imagine it was just like the places mentioned here in the 90s....
Orbit
Omen

....all around 1993 for a few years, I was 16, life was good
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 😀
bagleys
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
Hacienda
Shelleys in stoke
Angles burnley
Hard times mirfield
All really early 90's onwards
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.

Sub Club for proper nights out. Clattie Patties for a cheap night and a laugh!
Chicken pakora with pink sauce on the way home.
Klute, Tall Trees, Q ball, Tuxedo Royal - all terrible places.
Anybody remember Vague in Leeds - eye opener for me?
But my home was the Stage Door.
'Eclipse' - Bodmin
Don't get me started on Newquay
and 'Fusion' Kingsbridge
The Gallery at Turnmills... used to go practically each and every friday when i was (late) 17-19. great fun. used to be a big gasy night there in the saturday which meant there were quite a few gays on a friday, but where there are gays there are also lots of women. great place to pick up.
the Cross.
Heaven (i know! haha!)
and Fabric before it turned shit.
zone in blackpool, then preston.
Feel at preston uni, briliant atmosphere. where i first danced with samcamsmum.
starlight in bowness, crap, but great memories growing up, going there every sat night.
cream was ok, but full of coked up nobs!
Klute, Tall Trees, Q ball, Tuxedo Royal - all terrible places.
Tall Trees wasn't terrible. Back in the days when it was more exclusive, before the £15 all you can drink nights. Mid-90s.
Eclipse, Cov
The Monastery - Torquay open midnight - 7am in an old church , no alcohol, banging music, EPIC closed down by the authorities
also warehouse and accademy plymouth
and an strange place called country club in dorchester
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!
Memorable, but not for being good.
Ahh, sunny Pyrenees.
Err...
Spiders, Hull.
PanGalactic Gargleblaster anyone....
