Our last feature on the Glasgow clubs of yesteryear brought back a load of memories for people.
Fancying another trip down memory lane, we've gone back to gather up a list of more nightspots that are either much-missed - or just unforgettable in their own, infamous way.
BONKERS
This Hope Street venue was finally closed after countless incidents of general mayhem both inside and outside the club, but still holds fond memories for thousands of punters who would pile down in the early evening straight from work to get MWI and bounce about to happy hardcore until 3am. Usually after getting a KB and just joining the queue again.
DESTINY
"My first nightclub" for an entire generation of Glaswegians, this was the place to go for foam parties, shot girls, ultra-cheap booze (a round of VK anyone?) and floors stickier than a painter's radio.
ARCHAOS
The place Charlie Sheen spent the night partying with Gazza in before his *cough* tour of Easterhouse later that night, Archaos had the most relaxed door policy in Glasgow, allowing you to stumble through the doors no matter how mangled you'd got somewhere else first. Once in, there were several floors of music to negotiate, but with plenty of alcoves, seats and that infamous double bed for a mid-sesh rest/gouch.
THE COTTON CLUB
Now occupied by the CCA, this historic club sprang form the old Maryland Ballroom (Pink Floyd played there), which became Maestro's before fixing on The Cotton Club. Half way up one of the steepest hills on Glasgow on Scott Street, many a "refreshed" clubbed has came a cropper at chucking out time.
PANAMA JAX
Opening in 1983, this restaurant/disco (yes, really) quickly became one of the most popular nightclubs in Glasgow, with huge queues stretching down the street. Formerly Spankies, the city's first custom-built disco, Panama Jax was where Rod Stewart had his post-Ibrox gig party in 1983, but it wasn't to last and became the Wild West-themed Trading Post in 1988. Yee-ha. :(
JOE PAPARAZZI'S
Occupying an gorgeous old cinema space at the top of Sauchiehall Street, Joe Pap's was *the* club for bass and bleep rave music at the turn of the '90s. it's immense soundsystem and top quality DJs were one thing, but it also had it's secret weapon that other clubs couldn't compete with at the time. Aye, it had LASERS.
BENNETT'S
Glasgow's biggest and best gay club since it opened in 1981, Bennett's had two rooms of low-lit carnage, one with the cheesier side of dance and pop, while the basement regularly churned out hard techno and house, though was no stranger to melodic mainstream dance either. With a much more decent door policy that its rivals (aye, that one), Bennett's was an institution for folk right up to when it closed in 2011.
TUXEDO PRINCESS
Nicknamed "the Love Boat" for obvious reasons, the Tuxedo Princess was moored on the River Clyde in the shadow of the Kingston Bridge and had no less than 8 bars, as well as a revolving dancefloor on the converted car deck. Initially an upmarket joint, it lost popularity as the years went on and was scuttled for good after ten years in 1998.
KARBON
Home to Old Firm players, perma-tans and gangsters both cardboard and not-so cardboard, Karbon racked up an impressive 450 incidents reported to the police between 2008 and 2011. Offering a VIP clubbing experience, the city centre venue ended up being closed after midnight before it closed it's doors for good.
FURY MURRAY'S
At a time when your clubbing options in Glasgow were fairly restricted to cheese or sleaze, Fury's was a wee oasis in the desert for the discerning punter. Hidden round the back of St Enoch Square, this was belter of a club that weathered a few storms in its life, but closed up at the turn of the decade there.
