Old Swansea Night Clubs 07:13 - May 15 with 179879 viewsLord_Bony

Hey Anyone have any memories of the plethora of clubs on offer in the 70s80s90s? The good the bad and the ugly.

My personal fave was Barons...had some brilliant times there...REALLY miss that place



Here's some from about 20 years ago

The penthouse, the valbonne, barons, Dora's, the pier, the Langland bay, the surf house, the caswell bay and the west cross country club. Those are the old clubs I remember, oh and how could I forget, tiffany's.

Dora's the best club in South Wales for a time, absolutely superb. Then Martha's during the Tick Tock years, they were the lost years and anyone part of that era was part of something special.

I want a mate like Flashberryjacks, who wears a Barnsley jersey with "Swans are my second team" on the back.

Any one remember the club at the bottom of Gorseinon, it turned into a snooker/pool venue, is now closed.
Used to be a tad rough on the weekends!

Ah yes, the Rainbow, colourful in name only!
When it's either a hike into the City centre or the alternative, the Rainbow always seemed to win!

Martha's was a one off. Like you say, anyone to have gone there during that golden Tick Tock era was privileged to witness some of the best music in the UK at the time. I've still got some cassettes of some of the Friday nighters with Lomas, Jez & Saxon somewhere - got to dig em out now.

The boiler room in Baron's, oh how I would like to meet that girl again :)
What was the name of the club in the Caswell bay and the one by the Mermaid. I loved Marthas and Baron's and later on Neptunes and Bentleys.

"Liberty's" was superb with its American style pool tables.
I'm pretty sure it became "Europa" after that.
You couldnt beat the old Quids Inn by the YMCA - the damage I did drinking "Blastaways" may explain why my liver is the size of a pumpkin!

"Escape" was also a cracking club.

Plus wasnt there a grotty club in the High Street circa 1998 above Park Lane Health Club?

Bonkers later became Quids Inn next to YMCA was a madness. Icon was a fave back in the days when Top Rank became Ritzy's.
