This, and others like it provided me with some fine memories. I got lucky though, I married one of them! What a shame, the atmosphere and fun of those clubs are nowhere to be found these days. Ahh, and there was nothing like those wonderful and beautiful Tampa Bay babes who visited these clubs nightly. Open 7 nights a week, each and every week.

These guys knew how to do great "live band" clubs. 49th Street Mining Company was owned by the same people who owned Mark Twain in Tampa, Florida. and a few other good ones in the Tampa Bay area. I think the fact of Florida changing it's drinking age from 18 to 21 during that period also served to kill this club. If this place would have been down on one of the St.Pete area gulf beaches it would have been around for years. The club was in a sort of out-of-the-way section of St.Petersburg. Great club, unfortunately the location killed them. I should know, I was flashed, and had bras and panties thrown at me on that stage more than once! :P The club lasted only about 2 years, possibly a little less. all the easier to look down the slinky, low-cut tops of those finely-dressed, classic 80's babes. If you were a player it was especially nice because of it's height. Great club for bands because of it's space and very generous stage accommodations. Lot's of good bands (no one played there who wasn't good), lots of friendly people, extremely hot and beautiful (and clean) women who only wanted to dress great and have some fun frolicking in the night life.

D.J's Red Eye, Robert Taylor, basically all the early house guys.Ĩ3 to 89. Bar in the center of the room with large vases of flowers and foo foo drinks. Not very big, but still had a great wooden dance floor. Long live the 2001, the Cathedral of the Rock. Known in Portugal for "Dois" it has given to some generations the best rock of the planet. It has three cd edited "2001, A Catedral do Rock". Located under the central benche of the Autodromo do Estoril, this club of rock had its height in the 80's but it continues with its brilliant sound. It was closed for almost 10yrs & re-opened & now I think its called Polly Esthers or something. I have alot of memories of tripping on acid here. Great lights, ecclectic varied music was played-everything from Kate Bush, Siouxsie to Janet Jackson & George Clinton. It was located in the sleaziest most dangerous neighborhood in SF (the tenderloin) which is why many (but the very brave) ever ventured there but once in, it was like being in another world. Anyway it catered to a gay/str8/anything in betweeen alternative/artsy crowd & most of the people there were slightly older than many of us teenagers. I had heard that it had been opened since the Prohibition times & was a gin hangout in the 20's & 30's. It stayed open till sometimes 6am & was the place most of us went after the other San Francisco Clubs had closed.
This was a semi-popular/"secret" hang-out by alot of SOMA artists and new wavers "in-the-know". The club changed its name later on to Deco's and Amnesia but 1235 was definitely "The Club" back then.ġ983-1987.
#The shed gay bar boston full
Back when Miami beach was desolate and full of old timers this club used to be the life of Washington Avenue. This club started the Miami Beach club revolution. like Sweet Sensation, Noel, Corina, etc.Įarly 80's. They had a lot of freestyle acts performing on Sat. It was located on 10th Avenue and 18th Street, hence the name 1018. It was the hottest club, used to be the old Roxy's. Great music in this little sunken dance floor. Usually Tues and Wed were the popular 007 nights with Thursday as the standard for punks, posers, and wannabees. 007 was backwards for the disco Metro 700 club. It is still around, and on certain nights, indistinguishable from the mid-80's. Probably the oldest club in Houston, defined the alternative 80's dance music scene in Houston.
This is a list of the various large clubs that were around during the 80s.
