    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

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.

    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.

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.
