The problem with these suburban nightclubs was the violence. Fights over things like you slept with my sister, young men fighting over the same girl etc. They all close down due to very serious incidents. Stylus nightclub in ferntree gully. Bloke throws a 10kg rock onto a car on Burwood highway killing the driver after a brawl outside the club. Off duty cop bashed badly inside juice nightclub Ringwood. Etc etc etc
Shooter’s was a cesspool back in 2003/04. I worked the door there for a short while. Patrons with knives. Patrons belting each other with pool queues. I couldn’t believe how seedy the place was.
I spend more time in Frankston these days but as soon as you mentioned Blairgowrie and the Conti the memories flooded back...I still live down that way and won't be leaving ever!!....Another cool video Bro , cheers :P
Been loving this channel since your 1st city one. Used to be in Melbs from late 90's till 2010 or so, brings back heaps of memories. I've subbed on all my channels. lol
Worked all four corners late nineties early 2000s deck b4 kittens was lush and pre that saloon bar which was awesome john course was a regular and andy van👌 grand was voodoo lounge pre that was gallery across the 21st century had pink pelican bar attached and flannes and daveys across used to be leggies
My Dad was part owner in the Manhattan, owned Forresters Arms, Loaded Dog, and Sir Henry Barklay, all prior to 1989 recession. I'll Never forget as a kid the topless barmaids at the Manhattan.
The 'poo room'...can't wait for part 2......if you were from the hills you started at the pool room then ended up at Ruby's smoking a joint inside.....take me back lol
For about three years, 2013 - 2016, The Grand held a Thursday night called “Unique Thursdays”. All my friends would go to Unique every Thursday night in Year 12, then stumble back home to Frankston North, walk in fucked to Business Management class on Friday.
Unique Thursdays was a Cody Edmonds/100% event and a killer uni night at that-massive pub hol eves with 1000+ through from 8PM to 5AM Unheard of in the suburbs nowadays
I remember driving 2 hours from the country and jumping the fences to that Summerdaze, New Years day 07 after an all nighter. Next thing I was pinging at the front watching Basement Jaxx. Them black clouds were CRAZY. Another all nighter, but we couldn't bear to be bored in the country while our mates were at SD's, so at 10am we were like " let's fucking go" and hit the road with no tickets.
Have come down the few flights of stairs at the 21st on my feet but one night getting thrown out decided to fall or push myself and bouncers down with me and my mate and 4 or 5 security at the bottom I was grabbed so hard I passed out and was thrown out front door on the concrete onto my face losing half the skin woke up calling them weak and not men just bottles of roids.... Oh what Fun back in 08ish thanks for the vids Danny madd!!!!!
The last time I went out drinking in Frankston on a Friday a couple of years ago I was the last person standing outside the fish n chip shop at 1:30am and I was 45 years old. The last club had closed and everyone had gone home. I couldn’t believe it - I have watched most clubs I liked in the suburbs close down one by one. Australian nightlife particularly in the suburbs has almost died off completely - it’s a shame. They are happy for you to work hard and pay off a big mortgage and pay your taxes but don’t dare have any fun. People come from overseas and can’t believe how boring the suburbs are - even Sydney city has a bad wrap from many travellers. Save your money and party overseas for two weeks once or twice a year that solves the problem. Rant over.
There’s a seedy as pool hall in Franga called 8-ball. Stay the fuck away if it still exists. A mate and I were drugged, robbed and dragged down an alley, a common story I later learnt.
Been around frankston since around 2005, grand used to have some events on but never really took off. Went to glacier once i think around 2009/2010 didn't last for long. Davies was the main venue for years but always fights. Seen heaps of international bands at pier live, and dancefloor still rotates, went to a dj night there last year bit of an interesting experience haha Forgot to mention ha Penny's used to be pretty good for pub type venue was pretty small.
I can't wait for you to do the Northern Suburbs in whichever part you do it in. The north use to be full of local Nightclubs going around back in the day.
@Dannysrants Lets see.. Qroom in Thomastown, Bar 53 which changed to HQE Head Quarters Epping then changed to whatever its called now. Bar Eight in Bundoora which was called Ricochet in the 90s & early 2000s, Mr Pockets in Tullamarine, Breakers in Preston before it got shut down, Welcome to Thornbury, The Croc (Croxton Hotel) was a well known Over 28s club just to name a few.
the deck location at one point or another was a brass monkeys, and i think kittens was originally in the rooms above the old robin hood until it was burnt down (rumors were that the owner done it as a insurance scam)
It was at one point also called brass monkey. I have lived in that area for a longtime. In the late 80's early 90's it was also a restaurant called uncle Sam's that had an American burger joint motif/theme.
All my spots haha. Shooters was fucked when it went to 14/22 it was better also was in that brawl haha. I remember the deck when it was kittens and ugly from twister ran hsd from there it was insane
Cant believe this popped up in my recommended, I live so close to District 14 and went so many times when it was Empire. Can you answer me this, wtf was the school bus parked out the front of it for over a year haha
Haha good ol lava lounge pretty good description I remember 2018 I was stoned to the gills ( not a pot guy makes me paranoid) and there was a massive brawl there kunts walking out just bloody up lmao I was tripping balls watching that from outside the street 🤣🤣🤣
My old stomping ground back in early 2000s i was always on the podiums being a moron [ and falling off them a lot ] i even got a autograph and dance on stage with the band t shirt performing you sexy thing lol . Yes i'm famous .Great days thurs the grand fri sat 21st and where ever my mates were wondering around looking for a house party to crash lol
Hey bro, how can I get in touch so we can have a chat about you possibly doing some events over summer @ a live music venue in Rye I manage? Love what your doing man soooo many memories!
I remember going to 21st Century nightclub in Frankston when I was dating a chick down that way when i was 21 lol. Wheelers & Stamos in the Sth East use to go off on a Thursday/Friday night in 2009/2010 just like Qroom was back then in Thomastown my old Local stomping grounds. Great times 😉😂
Lol Lava Lounge NYE I think 2008 I went, doing bourbon and cokes they had happy hour doing 2 at a time scooping the ice out on to the floor... happy hour the bourbon changed to this cheap home make shit I think and doing 2 at a time every 10 min the bathroom was full no lie full of spew running under the door.. oh man it was full of woman with wrinkles all over their backs.. about 50 bourbons and cokes about 2am jumped in the car drove home.. everyone just drove home absolutely legless she'll be right, Also Berwick Springs Nite Club .. Oh that was called Blitz shit I didn't know what it was called just turned up, ripped shirts every night.. mad Bouncers mid 2000s got thrown out right there on the asphalt, then spent the night on phone abusing them trying to get them to pay for my shirt..
Bro is working hard traveling Melbourne taking most of us back down memory lane. Love your work 👍
Hahaha thanks bro, doing some serious laps

The Deck in the 90s was Captain America burger joint.
Pre kittens?
Yes, pre kittens. Went there in 1991.
My Dad was part owner in the Manhattan, owned Forresters Arms, Loaded Dog, and Sir Henry Barklay, all prior to 1989 recession. I'll Never forget as a kid the topless barmaids at the Manhattan.
Wow before ALH owned it thats awesome!
@@Dannysrants I think the ALH snapped it up from the ANZ bank when the world went broke in '89.
That is correct.. i am one of those cool people that attends the Deck. haha 😎

Franston is beside some of the best properties in Australia.
And the funny thing is in front of the Empire two doors down is the biggest cop shop in the Southeast all in front of the police 😂😂

@@heathRocco worked security at the Croc over 28s. Crazy. Bikie fights etc.
the deck location at one point or another was a brass monkeys, and i think kittens was originally in the rooms above the old robin hood until it was burnt down (rumors were that the owner done it as a insurance scam)
Brass Monkey was in Fountain gate not Frankston, the deck was originally a strip club and a wild west themed bar
It was at one point also called brass monkey. I have lived in that area for a longtime. In the late 80's early 90's it was also a restaurant called uncle Sam's that had an American burger joint motif/theme.
The revolving dance floor is still in there and they turn it on sometimes when bands are their playing
The Hallem pub on a Friday night was the ultimate 1998
I remember the opening night at empire, it was actually such a good place. Honestly you fucking killed it there, you defiantly did polish a turd.
Thanks!
All my spots haha.
Shooters was fucked when it went to 14/22 it was better also was in that brawl haha.
I remember the deck when it was kittens and ugly from twister ran hsd from there it was insane
Which club was the mostly bi-friendly back in the day? ❤
Haha I love the Franghanistan reference, thought I was the only one that called it that 😅
Cant believe this popped up in my recommended, I live so close to District 14 and went so many times when it was Empire. Can you answer me this, wtf was the school bus parked out the front of it for over a year haha
LOL it was mine, i turned it in to a bar and used it for my food truck carnivals
Fuck yeah Ringwood up next. Massive nostalgia with your vids. Would love some time stamps FYI
Switch board I think it was called that had the phones also called stones tavern if my memory is correct
21st was rough man the time I went. I'm not from that area and the locals were itching to brawl with me and my mate.
