Made me cry. I miss real people, real clubs, and the real NYC. This time will never be recreated. Left the city many years ago but those memories are forever.
The world has changed and become boring. London is the same, boring, boring, boring and nowhere near as good as it used to be. A handful of clubs left that don’t come close to what we had. I keep being told it is an age thing. Bullocks!
@@Luvie1980 Yes, it is. More regulations. More over-site, more permitting. More wealthy people and/or people that go to a club to 'be seen'....instead of people going to dance, drink, and have fun. Then the prices go up and clubs go from just "Club" to 'gay club' - 'hip hop club' - 'etc, etc. Instead of clubs for everyone with little regulation, the cities get involved with strict zoning, and people neighbors 'disapproving'. All the fun "everybody is invited" clubs disappeared when California became Kalifornia. .....or When NY started being ran by Democrats. Great clubs in US are now in Florida, Dallas, AZ. Where they leave people alone. Look around you.
Hell yeah. The Palladium from like 86 to 92 was the most popular club in NYC. I remember going there in 1989 when i was 19 and seeing how long the lines were to get in.
Oh yeah! I remember it! I was there in 1989, too! My pilot cousin took me there. It was my first trip to Manhattan. I was married at the time, but it did NOT stop me from sampling the local “fare”. My first wife is long gone and almost forgotten, but my first night at the Palladium will live in my memories FOREVER!
Yes! Early 90's Sound Factory, Jackie 60, Limelight, Save the Robots, Palladium, Susan Barch's one night a month at the Copa, Twilo, Roxy, etc etc etc! Legendary times. We are so lucky to have experienced it ☺️
Even the home of Madonna's first live performance at Danceteria, is gone. The loss of all these places to hang out and dance to REAL music is a permanent loss for the city. I went back many years later and it has had a piece of its soul removed. It'll never come back.
Me and my friends would sneak through the back,on the fir escape while one of us who had that Danceteria look ,😎would go to the front of line,when he got in,would come back to open one of the fire exists and we would go in carrying our own beer!🤣good times.
A place in time.. I am flooded with memories. Best dancing ever. Nights were wonderful. The morning afters. Miss the ones that are gone. We lost so many. Who woulda known, what the future held.
Back in the Dayz we came out to dance meet people mingle didn’t care what color just give me the Music , there will never be a time like we enjoyed ever again
NYC got just boring,commercial place after 2000's. All big clubs were closed and turned into nothing. Club should be underground, today, everthing is overgdound, boring.agh...
Webster Hall was The Ritz. Started going out in 1979. I was 15, but the legal age in NYC was 18. So 14/15 year old kids getting in as 18 year olds happened all the time! The exception, not the rule, were states with 21 as the legal age. It wasn't about drinking either. It was about being OUT! The Shelter! So many clubs, my older sister and brother took me with them! New York came together to get down! And I was just a kid.
An irony is the first time I officially went out is the last functioning night of studio 54, yeah it wasn't studio from 77-79 or whatever but it still was the real studio, it's crazy we got there an it was like a church/school dance winding down fa the night or something it was early but still, with almost no one there a girl approaches me an asks me if I liked Puerto Rican girls, I said if everything's cool yeah, it was for her friend with still few people in the place had the Cutest girl wantin to hook up with me I must have been there 10 minuets if that, haha not bad all n all fa goin to the famous studio bein dead but still doin damage without even tryin!!! Da goods, then it officially closed, this was 1986, after that me n my boyz musta been to almost every spot, underground, bedrocks, emerald city, 10-18's electric warehouse, pallium, but that was just Manhattan were we actually went the least in comparison Brooklyn Long Island Queens we hit all the time, Zackerys in Long Island is still opened I think haha, escapes J spratts on the water montanas avantes pastels Turchoise TJ bentlys to name just a few haha, did some damage, Newday world sucks dick no such thing as Newyork 100% whitebread cornball liberal's, intellect cornball fucks, no normal regular people almost anywhere, everyone a Robot to their fuckin phones Corny as hell, no authenticity anywhere, Just kids that go to School that think their important an shit halarious!!!!anyway yousta be da goods!!!!🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🐘🐼🐬🐅🐻🐕🐳🐖🐄
It was totally about being out there. It was a right of passage to experience it. However, once in the club, we certainly tried to get served drinks. 🤣
I also started going out when I was a 14 yr,with older sisters,lol,1981 I believe we hit the Funhouse for the first time,got really tired towards 4 am.towards 1985 ,we would hit up the Ritz,as it was a cheap cover,no I’d check.couldnt imagine any teens even attempt to go clubbing nowadays,we certainly were more streetwise back in the day.
Yes that is true in Chicago we have to be 18 year old. See that time my siblings was grow and they got married and have kids . And I have to wait till I got 21 year old. And yes in Chicago we have skating rink and after skating rink it was a dance party back in the mid80's. that was the only place to when I was a kid and 18 will go.from Anne Kimble
Pre-yuppie transplant invasion, it was beautiful. So many things to do other than eating avocado toast...the age of possibilities morphed into a bedroom community. Puke. I get homesick and I still live here.
Palladium is a stadium. Palladium Forever!!! I remember Robots too. Not my cue but I went there too. Twilo . Tunnel Arena too. Sound factory too. And I'm down with you!!💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
Frankie knuckles at tunnel Saturdays....who remembers that? I was a photographer for Parlay Magazine and others got into the night life houses ...late 80s...90s witnessed the best times in NYC. IT was an eara which won't happen again.
+laviaslavic1 VERY GOOD ERA OF THE CLUBS SEEN U MENTION ALL UNDERGROUND SPOT BUT MY JOINT WAS THE LENGENDARY THE PARADISE GARAGE MY HOME AWAY FROM HOME.

Wow...memories.....worked security at several of those clubs and frequented almost all....Lol. China Club, Area and World my favorites. Also hung out at Banditos, Dew Drop, Museum Cafe, Caliente Cab after closing.
But there was different music in different rooms (like all the old clubs) The smaller room to the left was only hip-hop. I rememeber it being so packed in there you could only jump up and down- which ever way the crowd was jumping
Also, Twilo, Sound Factory, Roxy, Palladium, etc. as been said here already, the late 90’s-00’s was a time of transition for NYC night life. There had not been any replacement of Studio 54… Hollywood glamour was moot and the SuperModel was born, etc. these dance clubs born from HouseMusic making its way into mainstream, DJ’s getting real recognition, Grammy’s etc. All that was happening as NYC was losing its worlds Best “Night Life” to London, Ibiza, etc. This time was truly amazing! For people like me, who worshipped just about every Sunday morning at the alter of Junior, it’s a time never to be forgotten or had again!
I'm 49(the new 32!) I remember when Frankie Crocker WBLS had T Scott from Better Days dee jaying house late nights and turning NY out! Bond International Roxy Paradise Garage.not to mention all the little hot ass slammin' clubs in da cut! We use to jam from North Jersey, Harlem/Uptown, to the Village, Downtown, all the way out to Long Island! Posted before and I'll post it here.late 70's to mid 90's was the hottest EVER! The earlier, the better! Everything is sampled today, we had the originals!
I know. Remember the cage they had. Also oh my God on a Fri night Red Alert and Almighty KG WRECKED the turntables with raw hardcore hip hop mixing. 2-3 Break.. WOW If you weren't there then there's nothing I can say. You missed out...
I grew up in NYC but left before I was an adult to go to school. You guys who were of age to go to legendary clubs are lucky. I missed Xenon, 54, Tunnel, The palladium and club Bentley also LimeIight and others. NYC had some well known clubs.
Wow i Missed out on the tunnel days by the time I started partying they shut it down . Shelter became greenhouse and limelight became Avalon.. Shortly after the community in an uproar complained about the noise. The city shut it down. It then became a inside market for local vendors. However those Chelsea strip of clubs in the mid 2000's were off the chain they were the best!!😃 Club Home, Guest house,club Cain, club Bed, coral room became Stereo, Bungalow 8, quo, Suzie Wong, metrodome then it became strata, then crimson now its motivo, club Spirit, viscaya, Marquee, Eugene's, Duvet, Mansion,...now the only club left on that strip is Marquee😣 On other side of town in the meat packing district you had lotus, club apartment, club Air, NV, tenjune, g spa gansevoort, club trust, VIP Room, discoteque and The Park, if you couldn't get into The Park you had Avenue and Avenue if you couldn't get into 1Oak. You had Nells. If you couldn't get into nells next store was club Two eyes, lol... Club Deep was another great club Further uptown were the urban clubs you had those Mars 2112 , Supper Club, Club New York, Hawaiin tropics, float which then became temple then it came club touch, china club, Babaloo's, the coppa cabana. if you couldn't get in Coppa's you had octagon which became pearl lol. further uptown was club cream, and moonlighting. The Roxy on Wednesdays for roller skating. Club Exit, And the old 40/40 forty when it was free and it didn't have the extra backroom 😃 and also even at 2:00 AM in the Morning you could still get in. Giuliani killed all that especially when he mandated clubs to shutdown at 4:00. No more after hours. If I did to go after hour spots they were located on the lower east side. Also Webster Hall for there infamous amateur burlesque Friday nights. the dance and tecno floor stayed open into the wee hours of the morning. The shadow night club stayed open late as well. I would go there at 430 in the morning and they would let me in. The mid 2000's were something else. So many memories! I will always cherish as young adult hanging out late in NYC ❤
I was a accidental nomad from Bucks county PA ...an hour away...single mom raised 3 boys...I was the middle child...shocker. Before adhd was the indigo children... We loved licking the street salt of new york's dirty alleys. Before the change there was a real trilling nitelife... from the ritz to roseland, lime, aztec , pyramid, tunnel , world, robots, coney island high, bowery ballroom, jet , ohm, justin's, spy, wax, moomba club 2000 and I am forgetting so many went to y2k studio 54 thing..Boogaloo - - Williamsburg was the last place I went...been stuck in hollywood since. ....fucking loved NYC...never lived there...always wanted to. peace
The best time for clubbing was 77-84. Studio 54, Limelight, Red Parrot, CBGB, Danceteria, Magique, Regines, The Tunnel, The Paradise Garage, Bentley's, Roseland to name a few. if you didn't go to any of theses then you didn't club!!!!
77-84? I don't think so... The Limelight didn't even open until 83, and it's heyday was absolutely the early 90's. Same thing with Tunnel, it didn't open until 86 and again, 90's was it's absolute best... The Bank, Palladium, The Roxy, The Vault... couldn't beat the 90's club scene in NYC.
Late 80s to 90s were the best time for clubs. All the large clubs were open then and were always packed. Palladium, Limelight, Tunnel, Club USA, Twilo, Sound Factory,
well that supports my point even more, notice his description says 'closed techno clubs' - the only one that i knew that played techno all night was limelight, and i'm thinking late 80's, i'm sure later they changed formats...
Don't get me wrong C5. I've been to clubs after 1989 and I had a lot of fun but it just wasn't the same as the 1980s I'm sorry and the music changed dramatically. But yes I've been to Sound factory in the '90s, and some others but I just wasn't feeling it like I did when I went to clubs from 1981 through 1989. Probably the main reasons were because I wasn't into the techno type of dance music. The Sound factory and Twilo I just wasn't feeling it maybe it was because I was getting older. But Ill tell you one thing I did enjoy the tunnel in the '90s big time.
Yea the city is horrible now due to the pandemic but was going downhill before that in terms of nightlife, now its like 1995 in NYC with all the abandoned storefronts dirty streets,graffiti everywhere crime rampart, only now no nightlife on top of it. its a burned out shell of its former glory gone forever
I was at Tunnel one of the nights Giuliani had it raided. One minute I'm dancing in a cage tripping balls and all of a sudden bright lights flash on and police flooded in. Even though a lot of drugs were done there and at other Gatien clubs, there was never really a problem there. I never saw any brawls or shootings or violence at all really. Local dive bars in Queens would have fights break out almost every week, as did those terrible Long Island clubs, but Fri - Sat at Tunnel saw hundreds of people of all types getting along perfectly fine. Same with Limelight. Young, old, gay, straight, black, white, business guys in suits and rave kids in transparent pink shirts, regular locals and famous celebrities, didn't matter. You had the hip hop floor, the main house floors, all the various back rooms, co-ed bathrooms. It was like we all became friends the minute we walked in the doors. These days I imagine the entire scene is long dead. And with the Fentanyl crap going on now, you'd have to be nuts to take anything at all.
Mars , Red Zone, Tunnel , Paladium , Disco 2000 limelight, Latin Quarters , The Building , Roxy , Sound Factory , Club U.S.A This was 1985-1998 I was club hopping all over Manhattan . By the time the late 90s club was getting corny .
Hello, from Venezuela, as a good connoisseur of the clubs in New York, they existed in south manhattan, near the docks, 1980 ... some bars including ambile, alex and others, could you describe me? Thank you since🇻🇪🌈
I remember the last Saturday night of the Funhouse I said to Joe Monk “you’re are going to open again” he said yeah. I think he really believed it. We all know it didn’t not as the Funhouse at least. I miss those days, those people, that music, that time !
Just like the old casinos in Vegas in the era of Sinatra ; all the fun and livelihood of NYC nightlife perished .. no one gave a damn about bottle service or tossing money in the air - it was the atmosphere, the music, dancing, the excitement - energy and anticipation of what was to come .. I miss it all too much Give us the party back ..
The Batcave was my first clubbing experience. Limelight was to to tight. Twirl :meh Twilo: great until the influx of NYU college students. The Bank: late 90's to 2003 was sick. Last club standing is The Pyramid club. But even the downstairs industrial music area is whack. Old skool rivet heads are now middle aged parents, grand parents or great grandparents these days

'84 to '89 was really the heyday of the NYC club scene. It was over by '93-'94. Those in the know remember The World on 1st & C, the real place to get wild without all the B&T swarming and ruining the party like the Limelight and Palladium and Webster Hall.
Lol shelter was greenhouse in my generation. And the tunnel was gone but Susie Wongs was on that block. And that Limelight church was something that started with an A
What about the special nights...Sybarite down in Soho, Monday nights at the Sapphire Lounge, Todd Terry Room, Shampoo Room, Robots! (downstairs), Nell's (Tuesdays?), miss all those gems...
Oh My Goodness, as a premier club promoter for NYC clubs from 2002-2006 i can say that tehre will not ever be a time in NYC when clubs are the most-est. I missed some of the earlier clubs, Like Tunnel, palladium, limelight and the shelter. However when the velvet rope scene came around i was there. I think about that time most often. I had a list at several doors which was and is still unheard of for any "black club promoter" you only get 1 unless you were Puff Daddy or P Diddy. I had any club from 42nd street down to Canal street, from Broadway to Westside highway. If you said you were on my list chances are you were getting in and having fun. I almost became Princes go to club guy because of this. i declined and regret it still to this day. Suede on 23rd n 7th, any club in the meat-packing district, All those in the flatiron district or West Village, Basically Chelsea's in hot-spots Nells, Had a membership card to Avalon-former Limelight and Bruce Willis club, Flow on Varick which was Greenhouse(Chris brown & Drakes fight held there), Amy Sacco's clubs, Mark Birnbaum's clubs, Noah Tepperberg's whole promotional team-tried to black-ball me once over getting a JT after party. LOL. I miss these days. The vibe was New decade, century & millennium Studio 54. The pop of pop stars from NYSNC to Britney to Backstreet, to Diddy, to almost every musical star came around and some actors and fashion designers too. i talk about it to people sometimes and they think i am bragging or boasting. I am not i am just in awe of the life i had just 16 years ago. LOL
I didn't know there was too limelight and shelter. I that we have limelight in downtown Chicago north river side.and the shelter was at Fulton market In Chicago. I use to go there Back in the 80'mid and 90's. Great memories.from Anne Kimble

The best times ever. The music, the people, the dancing etc. I don't care what the IDIOTS of this era have to say, nothing can be compared with back then, especially in NYC. A city where it was a fun place to live and afford. Today's so-called nightlife is a JOKE, with so many of these Mickey Mouse nightclubs lol.
@@lr5081 Yes, FunHouSe in summer of 81. My friend told me I must go hear Jellybean mix. I told my parents I was sleeping at a friend's house. I was 15. I ate a purple mescaline dot at 10pm and got to FUnHouSe around 12 mid. Damn, that was like Xanadu. Another world. Carefree. I said to myself inside the club I am NOT leaving. LOL. Hearing Bohanons Let's start to dance was insane. My chest was exploding from the bass in the FUnHoUSE.. Also, the Underground was great in 86 and Palladium... Hey remember the bumper cars at FuNHoUse and smoking DuST in the balcony. I fell down the spiral stairs. LOL
Tunnel, Limelight and Shelter were 3 of the best but you missed Palladium, Twilo, Exit and SoundFactory and a few others but the one's listed were the best no doubt.
From 96 to 99 NYC's Club scene was The Best ever!! For those 4yrs The Tunnel and Twilo were The Place to be, Let alone that they were right down the block from eachother!! SoundFactory was another Favorite and Carbon's which later turned into Exit!! Great times Great Memories!!!
You're right. I'm born 1970 and remember how packed those clubs you mentioned were. Carbons was a great club back then. Twilo was the best club in mid to late 90s. Tunnel was great too. Limelight was popular from 91 to 96. I remember Rob Corbett was the DJ there. He was a great house DJ. Club USA was popular for 2 years in the early to mid 90s
Wetlands. I saw Oasis on their first US tour at the Wetlands. I was SO stoned I nearly forgot I ever saw them until they were INSANELY popular and I vaguely remembered hearing those songs somewhere. (~_~)
Had had a terrible accident 😣... I used to go clubbing...now I can't remember the scene...any scene for that matter..... still rolling on Publix Supermarket time....s. West Palm Beach FL, great place to be 📬
Webster Hall was my fav. From the midget at the front door to the trapeze artists descending from the ceiling half way through the night. Or was it the house music and girls?? Yup. Man those were the best days of my life. *sigh* Back to Candy Crush on my gold 5s :D
Webster Hall is one of the only large NYC dance clubs still open. I never enjoyed it, was never my scene, but I've been in the last few years because it is really the only game in town for that kind of huge dance club feel... I used to work at the Limelight and preferred places like Tunnel and the Bank. If you want to relive your clubbing days Webster Hall is still around and looks largely the same, save for the obnoxious "vip" section that was added where one of the bars was in the main dancehall.
Webster Hall had a great setup. It was a gigantic club and had that large 2nd floor dance room. Remember that magician who would do trick on the main floor.

It’s like no one wants to go out and dance anymore & have a good time? I don’t get it? TV surely is not that good? . I am still clubbing in my home town in UK🇬🇧. Newcastle upon Tyne. Check out night club Hoochie Coochie if you want to go back to paradise garage,54, with some soul train thrown in for good measure. I am 54 & I love this club & hope it last for a long time to come. Keep dancing people it’s good for you 🕺🏻🔊🕺🏻🔊🕺🏻🔊🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼👍🇬🇧🎸🎤
I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Club 53 yet (aka Pursuits, aka Pursuit of Happiness). The Club 53 in the lobby of the NY Hilton Midtown was a very happening place for a long time. Super busy!Everyone who went to the Limelight, China Club, Palladium etc wound up at the Club 53 too.
I went to the Palladium for the first time when I was 19. Had just moved to NYC that year from my small town in Arkansas. First time I saw transpeople and transvestites and cis women walking around topless. I went to the bathroom and there were about 30 stalls all taken with people having sex. I distinctly remember the smell of sex and drugs.
Red Zone 88. Me and little high school crew of house headz no of us older that 16 we get there line down the block out of nowhere we heard Kenny Kenny voice you you you and you. From that moment I was stamped official nyc club scene Robots first time I went was Also in 88 I was 15. 10Am I leaving walking in was David Bowie with Lou Reed and Blondie. I get out outside Two Goons From LES have these two Wall Street types pinned against the wall Guns Out Robbing Them. That was NYC it was Magic and I grew up way too fast. Lol

SERIOUSLY. Not with all this digital media! Imagine some of the pictures that would show up! Haha, people definitely aren’t as open either.

Made me cry. I miss real people, real clubs, and the real NYC. This time will never be recreated. Left the city many years ago but those memories are forever.
The world has changed and become boring. London is the same, boring, boring, boring and nowhere near as good as it used to be. A handful of clubs left that don’t come close to what we had. I keep being told it is an age thing. Bullocks!
@@chelseaguy70
No...it is a LEFT thing.
@@chelseaguy70 fabric is the best club in London.
@@nonel4515 no it's not. Stop politicizing everything! Bloody hell
@@Luvie1980 Yes, it is. More regulations. More over-site, more permitting.
More wealthy people and/or people that go to a club to 'be seen'....instead of people going to dance, drink, and have fun.
Then the prices go up and clubs go from just "Club" to 'gay club' - 'hip hop club' - 'etc, etc.
Instead of clubs for everyone with little regulation, the cities get involved with strict zoning, and people neighbors 'disapproving'.
All the fun "everybody is invited" clubs disappeared when California became Kalifornia.
.....or When NY started being ran by Democrats. Great clubs in US are now in Florida, Dallas, AZ. Where they leave people alone. Look around you.
nothing lasts forever hence STOP taking things for granted and enjoy the moment because there may not be a next one.
Lets see who remembers Palladium Night Club NYC.
Hell yeah. The Palladium from like 86 to 92 was the most popular club in NYC.
I remember going there in 1989 when i was 19 and seeing how long the lines were to get in.
Oh yeah! I remember it! I was there in 1989, too! My pilot cousin took me there. It was my first trip to Manhattan. I was married at the time, but it did NOT stop me from sampling the local “fare”.
My first wife is long gone and almost forgotten, but my first night at the Palladium will live in my memories FOREVER!
I loved Palladium, Tunnel, Studio, Crisco and, of course The Saint
I believe the guys that opened Studio 54 opened Palladium after their stint in jail
Palladium was such a beautiful club. Many great memories were made ...and left there.
Yes! Early 90's Sound Factory, Jackie 60, Limelight, Save the Robots, Palladium, Susan Barch's one night a month at the Copa, Twilo, Roxy, etc etc etc! Legendary times. We are so lucky to have experienced it ☺️
Agreed.
My grandchildren are gonna think I'm senile when I tell them I used to go clubbing at a club in a church in nyc. Ronald Mcdonald was there once.
Fuck yeah!!! Good times!!!😎
☝️
Club USA with the slide...
Octagon.... Rockridge on Varick
Cheetahs, NV, Speed, the Tunnel, Poladium, Carbon, Speed, Mars, Roseland, Nells on 14th streets, Payday... the 90s was the best time in New York
100timessquare i remember nells but i am not at house head did u go to muze or sticky mikes. I loved the tunnel good times
And without any Devilbook Instasham Shitter HORSESHIT either
Yessssss
Even the home of Madonna's first live performance at Danceteria, is gone. The loss of all these places to hang out and dance to REAL music is a permanent loss for the city. I went back many years later and it has had a piece of its soul removed. It'll never come back.
Me and my friends would sneak through the back,on the fir escape while one of us who had that Danceteria look ,😎would go to the front of line,when he got in,would come back to open one of the fire exists and we would go in carrying our own beer!🤣good times.
May the underground soul of NYC club life rise again.
The dancefloor changed my life
Limelight was so much fun.
NYC CLUBS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME RIP
A place in time.. I am flooded with memories.
Best dancing ever. Nights were wonderful.
The morning afters. Miss the ones that are gone. We lost so many. Who woulda known, what the future held.
My top NYC clubs in the 90’s:
Tunnel

NYC got just boring,commercial place after 2000's. All big clubs were closed and turned into nothing.
Club should be underground, today, everthing is overgdound, boring.agh...
Thank Giuliani for that.
Webster Hall was The Ritz. Started going out in 1979. I was 15, but the legal age in NYC was 18. So 14/15 year old kids getting in as 18 year olds happened all the time! The exception, not the rule, were states with 21 as the legal age. It wasn't about drinking either. It was about being OUT! The Shelter! So many clubs, my older sister and brother took me with them! New York came together to get down! And I was just a kid.
Emily Kalb I remember getting in when I was 15 back in 1996 right after they got raided
An irony is the first time I officially went out is the last functioning night of studio 54, yeah it wasn't studio from 77-79 or whatever but it still was the real studio, it's crazy we got there an it was like a church/school dance winding down fa the night or something it was early but still, with almost no one there a girl approaches me an asks me if I liked Puerto Rican girls, I said if everything's cool yeah, it was for her friend with still few people in the place had the Cutest girl wantin to hook up with me I must have been there 10 minuets if that, haha not bad all n all fa goin to the famous studio bein dead but still doin damage without even tryin!!! Da goods, then it officially closed, this was 1986, after that me n my boyz musta been to almost every spot, underground, bedrocks, emerald city, 10-18's electric warehouse, pallium, but that was just Manhattan were we actually went the least in comparison Brooklyn Long Island Queens we hit all the time, Zackerys in Long Island is still opened I think haha, escapes J spratts on the water montanas avantes pastels Turchoise TJ bentlys to name just a few haha, did some damage, Newday world sucks dick no such thing as Newyork 100% whitebread cornball liberal's, intellect cornball fucks, no normal regular people almost anywhere, everyone a Robot to their fuckin phones Corny as hell, no authenticity anywhere, Just kids that go to School that think their important an shit halarious!!!!anyway yousta be da goods!!!!🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🐘🐼🐬🐅🐻🐕🐳🐖🐄
It was totally about being out there. It was a right of passage to experience it. However, once in the club, we certainly tried to get served drinks. 🤣
I also started going out when I was a 14 yr,with older sisters,lol,1981 I believe we hit the Funhouse for the first time,got really tired towards 4 am.towards 1985 ,we would hit up the Ritz,as it was a cheap cover,no I’d check.couldnt imagine any teens even attempt to go clubbing nowadays,we certainly were more streetwise back in the day.
Yes that is true in Chicago we have to be 18 year old. See that time my siblings was grow and they got married and have kids . And I have to wait till I got 21 year old. And yes in Chicago we have skating rink and after skating rink it was a dance party back in the mid80's. that was the only place to when I was a kid and 18 will go.from Anne Kimble
Pre-yuppie transplant invasion, it was beautiful. So many things to do other than eating avocado toast...the age of possibilities morphed into a bedroom community. Puke. I get homesick and I still live here.
Palladium is a stadium. Palladium Forever!!! I remember Robots too. Not my cue but I went there too. Twilo . Tunnel Arena too. Sound factory too. And I'm down with you!!💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
Starship Discovery, Buttermilk Bottom, Inferno, Ipanema, The Garage, Roseland what an amazing time
Frankie knuckles at tunnel Saturdays....who remembers that?
I was a photographer for Parlay Magazine and others got into the night life houses ...late 80s...90s witnessed the best times in NYC. IT was an eara which won't happen again.
Paradise Garage, Palladium, The World, Copa, 10/15, Save the Robots, Danceteria, Roseland, Tracks, Roxy's, China Club etc..
+laviaslavic1 VERY GOOD ERA OF THE CLUBS SEEN U MENTION ALL UNDERGROUND SPOT BUT MY JOINT WAS THE LENGENDARY THE PARADISE GARAGE MY HOME AWAY FROM HOME.
Yes, those were some of the best clubs ever. I remember the World in the late 80s. It was popular
laviaslavic1 it was 10/18

The Roxy skating rink.
Wow...memories.....worked security at several of those clubs and frequented almost all....Lol. China Club, Area and World my favorites. Also hung out at Banditos, Dew Drop, Museum Cafe, Caliente Cab after closing.
But there was different music in different rooms (like all the old clubs) The smaller room to the left was only hip-hop. I rememeber it being so packed in there you could only jump up and down- which ever way the crowd was jumping
Also, Twilo, Sound Factory, Roxy, Palladium, etc. as been said here already, the late 90’s-00’s was a time of transition for NYC night life. There had not been any replacement of Studio 54… Hollywood glamour was moot and the SuperModel was born, etc. these dance clubs born from HouseMusic making its way into mainstream, DJ’s getting real recognition, Grammy’s etc.
All that was happening as NYC was losing its worlds Best “Night Life” to London, Ibiza, etc.
This time was truly amazing! For people like me, who worshipped just about every Sunday morning at the alter of Junior, it’s a time never to be forgotten or had again!
Blizzard of 96 at the Tunnel every Sat with Junior Vasquez.
I showed up in that blizzard and the line for the Tunnel was massive. The snow didn't stop us...
I was looking at some pics of Cher during the 1982 era. Some pics of her dancing at Red Parrot.
I'm 49(the new 32!) I remember when Frankie Crocker WBLS had T Scott from Better Days dee jaying house late nights and turning NY out! Bond International Roxy Paradise Garage.not to mention all the little hot ass slammin' clubs in da cut! We use to jam from North Jersey, Harlem/Uptown, to the Village, Downtown, all the way out to Long Island! Posted before and I'll post it here.late 70's to mid 90's was the hottest EVER! The earlier, the better! Everything is sampled today, we had the originals!
Alvee Turner old school. These new jacks have no clue ✊
After the popular clubs, we lived for the spots in the cut, in Brooklyn, manhattan and Long Island, Jersey, New Rochelle. We partied EVERYWHERE!
Many nights spent here
I was there and it was a BLAST thank you NYC!
worked at the door of several clubs in the 80s...it was the heyday of the NYC club scene....if you weren't there you have no idea! CRAZY
Who remembers Cafe con leche when it was on University Place? or partying at 1018. NYC Club life will never be that what it was.
Lime light was my favorite back in the 80s
I get upset every time I see that Petsmart at Union Square knowing it used to be the Underground.
I know. Remember the cage they had. Also oh my God on a Fri night Red Alert and Almighty KG WRECKED the turntables with raw hardcore hip hop mixing. 2-3 Break.. WOW If you weren't there then there's nothing I can say. You missed out...
I grew up in NYC but left before I was an adult to go to school. You guys who were of age to go to legendary clubs are lucky. I missed Xenon, 54, Tunnel, The palladium and club Bentley also LimeIight and others. NYC had some well known clubs.
Wow i Missed out on the tunnel days by the time I started partying they shut it down . Shelter became greenhouse and limelight became Avalon..
Shortly after the community in an uproar complained about the noise. The city shut it down. It then became a inside market for local vendors.
However those Chelsea strip of clubs in the mid 2000's were off the chain they were the best!!😃
Club Home, Guest house,club Cain, club Bed, coral room became Stereo, Bungalow 8, quo, Suzie Wong, metrodome then it became strata, then crimson now its motivo, club Spirit, viscaya, Marquee, Eugene's, Duvet, Mansion,...now the only club left on that strip is Marquee😣
On other side of town in the meat packing district you had lotus, club apartment, club Air, NV, tenjune, g spa gansevoort, club trust, VIP Room, discoteque and The Park, if you couldn't get into The Park you had Avenue and Avenue if you couldn't get into 1Oak.
You had Nells. If you couldn't get into nells next store was club Two eyes, lol... Club Deep was another great club
Further uptown were the urban clubs you had those Mars 2112 , Supper Club, Club New York, Hawaiin tropics, float which then became temple then it came club touch, china club, Babaloo's, the coppa cabana. if you couldn't get in Coppa's you had octagon which became pearl lol.
further uptown was club cream, and moonlighting. The Roxy on Wednesdays for roller skating. Club Exit, And the old 40/40 forty when it was free and it didn't have the extra backroom 😃 and also even at 2:00 AM in the Morning you could still get in.
Giuliani killed all that especially when he mandated clubs to shutdown at 4:00. No more after hours. If I did to go after hour spots they were located on the lower east side. Also Webster Hall for there infamous amateur burlesque Friday nights. the dance and tecno floor stayed open into the wee hours of the morning. The shadow night club stayed open late as well. I would go there at 430 in the morning and they would let me in.
The mid 2000's were something else. So many memories! I will always cherish as young adult hanging out late in NYC ❤
I was a accidental nomad from Bucks county PA ...an hour away...single mom raised 3 boys...I was the middle child...shocker. Before adhd was the indigo children... We loved licking the street salt of new york's dirty alleys. Before the change there was a real trilling nitelife... from the ritz to roseland, lime, aztec , pyramid, tunnel , world, robots, coney island high, bowery ballroom, jet , ohm, justin's, spy, wax, moomba club 2000 and I am forgetting so many went to y2k studio 54 thing..Boogaloo - - Williamsburg was the last place I went...been stuck in hollywood since. ....fucking loved NYC...never lived there...always wanted to. peace
I spent so many nights at Tunnel, and then going to H&H Bagels at like 6am when they were finishing their first baking runs.
The best time for clubbing was 77-84. Studio 54, Limelight, Red Parrot, CBGB, Danceteria, Magique, Regines, The Tunnel, The Paradise Garage, Bentley's, Roseland to name a few. if you didn't go to any of theses then you didn't club!!!!
77-84? I don't think so... The Limelight didn't even open until 83, and it's heyday was absolutely the early 90's. Same thing with Tunnel, it didn't open until 86 and again, 90's was it's absolute best... The Bank, Palladium, The Roxy, The Vault... couldn't beat the 90's club scene in NYC.
Late 80s to 90s were the best time for clubs.
All the large clubs were open then and were always packed.
Palladium, Limelight, Tunnel, Club USA, Twilo, Sound Factory,
@@sacredsiren The Bank! The goth club on Houston & Essex.
The Funhouse and Xenon. I always got in without a problem. Good times
Who remembers the hippo campo club in the Bronx in Jerome ave salsa night in 70,s
Corso, Barney Googles, Broadway 96, Copa, Latin Quarters, Casa Blanca
Emil's on University and Sublime's on Fordham Road...GOOD Memories!!!...GREAT COKE!!!!
well that supports my point even more, notice his description says 'closed techno clubs' - the only one that i knew that played techno all night was limelight, and i'm thinking late 80's, i'm sure later they changed formats...
I stayed up in the tunnel. The hotspot
Infinity, Heat, The Ritz, The Mudd Club, Ones. Those were my favorite places. God, do I miss it!
It all died in 1996. RIP
1996?? LOL It all died by 1989. LOL Trust me.
@@ronpetrenella9231 we can agree to disagree. To me it died after Giuliani. Clubs were amazing in the early 90s.
Don't get me wrong C5. I've been to clubs after 1989 and I had a lot of fun but it just wasn't the same as the 1980s I'm sorry and the music changed dramatically. But yes I've been to Sound factory in the '90s, and some others but I just wasn't feeling it like I did when I went to clubs from 1981 through 1989. Probably the main reasons were because I wasn't into the techno type of dance music. The Sound factory and Twilo I just wasn't feeling it maybe it was because I was getting older. But Ill tell you one thing I did enjoy the tunnel in the '90s big time.
Infernos on 19th and 5th was the spot!
Yea the city is horrible now due to the pandemic but was going downhill before that in terms of nightlife, now its like 1995 in NYC with all the abandoned storefronts dirty streets,graffiti everywhere crime rampart, only now no nightlife on top of it. its a burned out shell of its former glory gone forever
I was at Tunnel one of the nights Giuliani had it raided. One minute I'm dancing in a cage tripping balls and all of a sudden bright lights flash on and police flooded in. Even though a lot of drugs were done there and at other Gatien clubs, there was never really a problem there. I never saw any brawls or shootings or violence at all really. Local dive bars in Queens would have fights break out almost every week, as did those terrible Long Island clubs, but Fri - Sat at Tunnel saw hundreds of people of all types getting along perfectly fine. Same with Limelight. Young, old, gay, straight, black, white, business guys in suits and rave kids in transparent pink shirts, regular locals and famous celebrities, didn't matter. You had the hip hop floor, the main house floors, all the various back rooms, co-ed bathrooms. It was like we all became friends the minute we walked in the doors. These days I imagine the entire scene is long dead. And with the Fentanyl crap going on now, you'd have to be nuts to take anything at all.
Mars , Red Zone, Tunnel , Paladium , Disco 2000 limelight, Latin Quarters , The Building , Roxy , Sound Factory , Club U.S.A This was 1985-1998 I was club hopping all over Manhattan . By the time the late 90s club was getting corny .
Hello, from Venezuela, as a good connoisseur of the clubs in New York, they existed in south manhattan, near the docks, 1980 ... some bars including ambile, alex and others, could you describe me? Thank you since🇻🇪🌈
I remember the last Saturday night of the Funhouse I said to Joe Monk “you’re are going to open again” he said yeah. I think he really believed it. We all know it didn’t not as the Funhouse at least. I miss those days, those people, that music, that time !
I was a member of The Saint 1980-1988.
Just like the old casinos in Vegas in the era of Sinatra ; all the fun and livelihood of NYC nightlife perished .. no one gave a damn about bottle service or tossing money in the air - it was the atmosphere, the music, dancing, the excitement - energy and anticipation of what was to come .. I miss it all too much
Give us the party back ..
The Batcave was my first clubbing experience.
Limelight was to to tight.
Twirl :meh
Twilo: great until the influx of NYU college students.
The Bank: late 90's to 2003 was sick.
Last club standing is The Pyramid club. But even the downstairs industrial music area is whack.
Old skool rivet heads are now middle aged parents, grand parents or great grandparents these days
Limelight freaked me out with those statues of the Apostles.

I remember The Batcave & The Bank. Communion at Limelight on Tuesdays was a great goth night too. Tunnel was my absolute favorite club though.
Cant forget the cheesesteaks at 6am coming outta bentleys....40th street and madison
'84 to '89 was really the heyday of the NYC club scene. It was over by '93-'94.
Those in the know remember The World on 1st & C, the real place to get wild without all the B&T swarming and ruining the party like the Limelight and Palladium and Webster Hall.
Seriously? Over by the 90's? I don't think so...
And that's why it ended because of attitudes like this. Smh
I had a great time in '95 too, but I definitely see your point.
I miss it lol that was fun time
Lol shelter was greenhouse in my generation. And the tunnel was gone but Susie Wongs was on that block. And that Limelight church was something that started with an A
The tunnel, muze and sticky mikes was my spots good times
Don't 4get the world in alphabet city,..and the red zone...🤪 met my first goth chic.,what a nite😏....
The Underground, Xenon and later on became Shout, Funhouse, Cat Club, Magique, Les Mouche, and who can forget Studio 54
What was the name of the African disco somewhere on the West Side, maybe midtown.
What about the special nights...Sybarite down in Soho, Monday nights at the Sapphire Lounge, Todd Terry Room, Shampoo Room, Robots! (downstairs), Nell's (Tuesdays?), miss all those gems...
Sapphire was the spot! Next store was 24/7. That's where my partying literally began😃
Oh My Goodness, as a premier club promoter for NYC clubs from 2002-2006 i can say that tehre will not ever be a time in NYC when clubs are the most-est. I missed some of the earlier clubs, Like Tunnel, palladium, limelight and the shelter. However when the velvet rope scene came around i was there. I think about that time most often. I had a list at several doors which was and is still unheard of for any "black club promoter" you only get 1 unless you were Puff Daddy or P Diddy. I had any club from 42nd street down to Canal street, from Broadway to Westside highway. If you said you were on my list chances are you were getting in and having fun. I almost became Princes go to club guy because of this. i declined and regret it still to this day. Suede on 23rd n 7th, any club in the meat-packing district, All those in the flatiron district or West Village, Basically Chelsea's in hot-spots Nells, Had a membership card to Avalon-former Limelight and Bruce Willis club, Flow on Varick which was Greenhouse(Chris brown & Drakes fight held there), Amy Sacco's clubs, Mark Birnbaum's clubs, Noah Tepperberg's whole promotional team-tried to black-ball me once over getting a JT after party. LOL. I miss these days. The vibe was New decade, century & millennium Studio 54. The pop of pop stars from NYSNC to Britney to Backstreet, to Diddy, to almost every musical star came around and some actors and fashion designers too. i talk about it to people sometimes and they think i am bragging or boasting. I am not i am just in awe of the life i had just 16 years ago. LOL
All lost to history now.
I didn't know there was too limelight and shelter. I that we have limelight in downtown Chicago north river side.and the shelter was at Fulton market In Chicago. I use to go there Back in the 80'mid and 90's. Great memories.from Anne Kimble
i'd be lying if i said i did not shed a tear..

ME TOO😎

The best times ever. The music, the people, the dancing etc. I don't care what the IDIOTS of this era have to say, nothing can be compared with back then, especially in NYC. A city where it was a fun place to live and afford. Today's so-called nightlife is a JOKE, with so many of these Mickey Mouse nightclubs lol.
Emerald city ….. late ‘80s
My wife was clubbing NYC since she was 12 with her older sister. She was getting into Heartthrobs, the Underground and Studio 54 in 1987
I loved the underground
Yep,it was happening back in the day.I still don’t know how we did it,started at the Funhouse in 1981.
@@lr5081 Yes, FunHouSe in summer of 81. My friend told me I must go hear Jellybean mix. I told my parents I was sleeping at a friend's house. I was 15. I ate a purple mescaline dot at 10pm and got to FUnHouSe around 12 mid. Damn, that was like Xanadu. Another world. Carefree. I said to myself inside the club I am NOT leaving. LOL. Hearing Bohanons Let's start to dance was insane. My chest was exploding from the bass in the FUnHoUSE.. Also, the Underground was great in 86 and Palladium...
Hey remember the bumper cars at FuNHoUse and smoking DuST in the balcony. I fell down the spiral stairs. LOL
Anyone remember ‘Privates’ upper east side early eighties?
Tunnel, Limelight and Shelter were 3 of the best but you missed Palladium, Twilo, Exit and SoundFactory and a few others but the one's listed were the best no doubt.
Thought Webster Hall would’ve made this list...
The Saint.
hello, trying to get in touch about your footage, is there a way to contact you? Thanks
you can emal me at andresstowers@gmail.com
where's EXiT? =( Rest in Peace to that club.
JayJae Han exit was a great spot
Lol WORD!!!
Exit was kinda cheesy, and definitely spelled the end of the golden era of NYC nightclubs.
Bentley's, Regine's, Nell's...
What about Heartbreak??
From 96 to 99 NYC's Club scene was The Best ever!! For those 4yrs The Tunnel and Twilo were The Place to be, Let alone that they were right down the block from eachother!! SoundFactory was another Favorite and Carbon's which later turned into Exit!! Great times Great Memories!!!
You're right. I'm born 1970 and remember how packed those clubs you mentioned were.
Carbons was a great club back then. Twilo was the best club in mid to late 90s. Tunnel was great too.
Limelight was popular from 91 to 96. I remember Rob Corbett was the DJ there. He was a great house DJ.
Club USA was popular for 2 years in the early to mid 90s
Dan Livni Rob Corbett is still around. He is a cop with NYPD now for a long time.
twilo and tunel where in the same street ....... that was so good
Wetlands. I saw Oasis on their first US tour at the Wetlands. I was SO stoned I nearly forgot I ever saw them until they were INSANELY popular and I vaguely remembered hearing those songs somewhere. (~_~)
Westside Manhattan hells kitchen.
God know how we ended up in Save The Robots, was a English doorman from Crystal Palace, let us in.
Had had a terrible accident 😣... I used to go clubbing...now I can't remember the scene...any scene for that matter..... still rolling on Publix Supermarket time....s.
West Palm Beach FL, great place to be 📬
Webster Hall was my fav. From the midget at the front door to the trapeze artists descending from the ceiling half way through the night. Or was it the house music and girls?? Yup. Man those were the best days of my life. *sigh* Back to Candy Crush on my gold 5s :D
Webster Hall is one of the only large NYC dance clubs still open. I never enjoyed it, was never my scene, but I've been in the last few years because it is really the only game in town for that kind of huge dance club feel... I used to work at the Limelight and preferred places like Tunnel and the Bank. If you want to relive your clubbing days Webster Hall is still around and looks largely the same, save for the obnoxious "vip" section that was added where one of the bars was in the main dancehall.
Webster Hall had a great setup. It was a gigantic club and had that large 2nd floor dance room.
Remember that magician who would do trick on the main floor.
Why did all the large clubs close in NYC?
I was tending bar there at that time. Getting paid to party!!! WHAT a life it was!!
All the large clubs all closed in NYC The only large club in NYC is Webster Hall.
Dan Livni Yupp. And I think that’s the only club that will remain open for decades because it’s the first club in nyc
Holy Moly Webster Hall is gone. They sold the club last August. I dont think its going to be a club.
Nice video. I also remember Palladium and Roxy. It's a different time now.
Y’all remember Webster Hall and Nell’s?
Who remembers Uncle Charlie's and The Monster around 1988 to 1994?
i do.
Bonds Casino.
i was hoping they would show the "under ground"
bentlys, muse,demeraras,esso,arena,vertigo,mirage,homebase,40 below, octagon,sticky Mikes..
demararas was POPPIN!

La escuelita
Yes, that's what made it so cool inside
It’s like no one wants to go out and dance anymore & have a good time? I don’t get it? TV surely is not that good? . I am still clubbing in my home town in UK🇬🇧. Newcastle upon Tyne. Check out night club Hoochie Coochie if you want to go back to paradise garage,54, with some soul train thrown in for good measure. I am 54 & I love this club & hope it last for a long time to come. Keep dancing people it’s good for you 🕺🏻🔊🕺🏻🔊🕺🏻🔊🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼👍🇬🇧🎸🎤
I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Club 53 yet (aka Pursuits, aka Pursuit of Happiness). The Club 53 in the lobby of the NY Hilton Midtown was a very happening place for a long time. Super busy!Everyone who went to the Limelight, China Club, Palladium etc wound up at the Club 53 too.
I went to the Palladium for the first time when I was 19. Had just moved to NYC that year from my small town in Arkansas. First time I saw transpeople and transvestites and cis women walking around topless. I went to the bathroom and there were about 30 stalls all taken with people having sex. I distinctly remember the smell of sex and drugs.
Michael Self lol ahhh I love the smell of sex and drugs in the morning!!🤣
Red Zone 88. Me and little high school crew of house headz no of us older that 16 we get there line down the block out of nowhere we heard Kenny Kenny voice you you you and you. From that moment I was stamped official nyc club scene
Robots first time I went was Also in 88 I was 15. 10Am I leaving walking in was David Bowie with Lou Reed and Blondie. I get out outside Two Goons From LES have these two Wall Street types pinned against the wall Guns Out Robbing Them. That was NYC it was Magic and I grew up way too fast. Lol
Too deep....been to everyone of these and yes it was about the mastery of the music and how you expressed yourself through it.
