The series I never knew I needed.

I'm 34 now and this punched me in thne nostalgia.. I remember my first club experience. 15 years old going to Jupiter and Space bar in Newmarket - then heading into town to go to the Immigrant.

Leftfield was the OG name for float and in the eary 2000s it was the place that everyone was trying to get into across a broad age group and music, sports cafe was filmed there and it was good times. Pretty much a super club at the time.

Thanks for watching everyone. To help keep the series going I've got some custom Lost Nightclub shirts for sale. Appreciate any support

These vids trigger such great memories, thanks for putting them together. I'd totally forgotten about Manhattan, but remember going there with my mates for a laugh. And the security at the Powerstation once kicked me out when I was in a state, but let me back in when I'd sobered up - ha ha! Fun times 😄

Suga Reef, Threshold, Candio's, Stair Case, Club Roma, Fubar, Boogie Wanderland, Alfie's, Dispensary Bar, Club Miami, Club Bali, studio X, Coliseum, Forge, Powerstation and many more clubs and bars to mention, but back then you could club from 9pm - 8am Wednesday to Sunday morning, good times!!!!

Nice Phil - Great mention of Ray "Classic Daddy' McPherson

Nice to hear a mention of Alfies. I had a nearly 10 year residency as weekend DJ there. A great time in my life. Worked with many great people. The Bloomers girls including Georgina Beyer and a very young Bevan Keys. Great little night club!

The coolest buzz. So many memories. Would love it if you guys could just keep talking forever! Thank you ♥

Code & Met Bar…Thursdays with Peter James would always go off and Sirveres right about his drops, they were so clean when ya watched him do it live. Billy Scanlon ( RIP ) used to run that door and had one of the best doorman crews at that time before street & security crew politics kicked in. Those days were so good!!!

I love how u randomly bump into other New Zealand celebrities along the way lol this walk series is awesome❤

This man is very special to me. First met as a 16 year old on the baskeball court at Mt Roskill Grammar School when he would pull his car up to the court and play us some sounds while we jammed. We connected over the love of bball, MJ, and Wu Tang to begin with. I was fortunate to be able to hang with the bro and meet many many legends in the music industry over the years. From True School on 95bfm to playing basketball with Montel Jordan at DLTs warehouse pad on Crummer Rd just down the hill from the old Mai FM location in Ponsonby which had a giant bombing of Michael Jordan and Bruce Lee on the walls as seen on the Chains video clip. So many great memories with Phil and the club/DJ scene he will always be my big bro❤ thanks so much for this Shae

OMG.

Thanks for another banger! So many memories at these places. I agree it was a golden era of partying. Maybe it’s due to us being young. But the scene doesn’t feel the same now… ✊🏽

Woah, the Manhatten has changed heaps. I didn't realise that the Manhatten was a nightclub but it was infamous amongst the poly community to hold weddings, funerals, birthdays etc. I think it was in the late 80s my older brother had his haircutting ceremony at the Manhatten and back then that was when they had the booths on the far side of the room and each booth had their own push button phones and it had a darker decor and a stage in the middle to the back of the hall and then they had a dj booth/set up next to the bar. I remember the late 90's if we did go clubbing we went to this hiphop club on High St (I can't remember the name but I just remember it being narrow but long, like a big cupboard lol. And once that club finished for the night, we made our way down to Some Place Else and we'd stay till the bar would ring the bell and call 'Last Call'. We did the occasional south auckland club/bar but they were more like if family or friends had fundraisers. Cool trip down memory lane

And, big ups to all the door guys. They kept everyone safe, weeded out the drunks. So much time for the guys who bounced at Supper, Calibre, Ink. Papa @ Ink - such a nice guy.

Clubs I remember from the 90s .Custom House,Cactus Jack's,DTM's, Club Polyz,Club Roma,DeBretts,Studio X,The Duke,Cleos, Changes,Sunset Palms,The Bus Stop,Ellersie Oaks .

Amazing Documentary! Huge props & respect to Philip Bell.

Amazing guys. Fu Bar was just the left side for a long time before they opened the bigger room on the right. Before that in 1997 (and maybe into 98) it was called Buddha Bar which was also great.

Maybe the next walking interview needs to be with a doorman. Papa ex Calibre and now Ink doorman has been round since the 1990s. He would be an awesome person to talk to.
