    My recollections of the late 80’s The Box , Alfie’s, de Brett’s, Candios, Sugar reef, (DTM’s early 90’s) Keelies, the terrace bar, the Parnell club. Good times.

Great to see Uncle Phil coming with the instant golden memories and the casual walk on from living legend Steve Hill .

    George, the bouncer you mention in the first 10 minutes, also ran kick boxing classes which I went to for a couple of years. When I first travelled back with my now wife, I was explaining to her how cosmopolitan Auckland was and NZ wasn’t a small place. Turned around in the customs queue and go “oh hi George” - he was the customs agent who stamped our passport on the way in :)

    Nostalgic tour. In 1992 I lived at Box/Cause Celebre every weekend. I was 18 but Soane always let me in in spite of the R20, good bloke and Geeling was cool too. Kevin the Hat was a legend 🍸 You didn’t mention Alphie’s or the various bars at DeBrett’s. Signal Records on the corner of Fort St & Fort Ln which predated Bassline. Punch & Judy also on Fort St. Rakino’s where Holly Smith started her career. Papa Jack’s (where Loungehead first played) & The Dragon Bar on Vulcan Ln. Fu Bar (former Stanley’s), Mantrap and Pod on Queen St. The Pelican Bar on Elliot St. Attica on Fanshawe St where Mickey Havoc had his first residency. Ministry of Sound on Albert St formerly The Staircase & Piano Bar. Don’t Tell Mama on K’Rd is the former Vogue Cinema, it was also named Virgin for a time. The first Brain was held there in late 1991 I think. Legends Bar next to Las Vegas where the first ‘smart drinks’ were served. Cheap Sex at Squid was the most fun I ever had at a nightclub. Part rave part shag fest!

Even way before that in the early 90s i remember going there for a hip hop nite, but we were literally blown away by this unknown funk band called Supergroove, u just knew they were gonna blow up. U guys mention so many names & places i felt like i was back in the 90s😂😂😂 good ol Providahore, i use to work there too 🤣 I remember a feeling of missing out, coz id hear about all these clubs from patrons but i never go coz im stuck at the door on fort st till 6am, at which time an injured Awen Gutenbeil of the warriors saying every weekend 'who wants to go to Shakers?' 😂😂

My first time there was when it was Club Mirage in 1984 but that High St scene from around 1990-1995 with the Box, Voodoo Lounge, Bobs, the Ox, Queens Ferry, Squid and around that Vulcan Lane was so packed on Friday and Saturday nights - never seen anything like that before that you could hardly move because that whole area was just packed with people! During the 80s you had the pubs in Parnell - The Exchange, Windsor Castle (later became Frames) and the Alex and in town you had The Empire and De-Bretts and Shadows / The Kiwi / The Globe unversity drinking holes! Then you had nightclubs like Casablanca, Zanzibar and Club Mirage. My favourite pubs was the Occidental and the Masonic! Its a pity that a lot of the great old pubs are gone now - back in the early-mid 80s the university pub crawl listed around 32 pubs back then!!!!

    Thanks for the video guys, was really great going down memory lane. RE: Grant's comment around weather or not Auckland was known internationally. Our time releasing records in the breaks an drum n bass scene, the DJs (Rennie Pilgrim, Ctrl-Z, Aston from the Freestylers, Tom from Broke records and the Autobots, Dan from Breakbeat Kaos) would always comment about Auckland and its massive reputation on the international level. So many DJs came over here and had such a great time because of the people in the scene, the DJs, the country that it fast became the hot ticket. All thanks to the ground work you guys put in late 80s early 90s. Another thing that was pivital to the scene success back then was the underage feeder clubs like Platnium 104 which groomed young eletronic music enthusiast for the Auckland nightlife. Some that was missing in the mid 2000s.

    Thanks for the trip down memory lane. The 1990s was a great time for clubbing in Auckland. There were plenty of clubs to choose from, and every one of them packed to the rafters. Waterfront bar over to Loaded Hog, Studebakers, Custom house, Park and Bar, Rose and Crown, De Bretts, Shakers, Base Bar, DTMs, a few others that were in Vulcan lane upstairs. There were clubs everywhere. Some place else was a good starting point at the top end of K Rd, then you either went down K'rd or down to the bottom end of Queen St. Before you knew it, the sun was coming up. There were a few clubs near Vic Park Market that were always packed as well. Good times. 😂 You'd have to plan your night or weekend in advance. There were a few other clubs near JDs that weren't too bad if you wanted to listen to rock/pop music. Plenty of choices for everyone. Downtown had it all.

    awesome bro..I remember DeDrets where they played this a lot kzread.info/dash/bejne/opyBupZ9csTMd5c.html and other clubs like the BaseBar, just up the road around the Corner .. the Soul Bar at MidCity .. I think Zane opened up a bar called the DeccaBar somewhere on High ST..Shakers down in Custom where Brittomart is now ..Some Place Else up at the top of K Rd Symond ST and a whole heap of pool bars up along K Rd.. I remember the Box . BFM .. 80s90s early 2000s, you remember Coliseum out in Manukau, the Loaded Hog with all the farming equipment hanging from the walls

    Cool video Shae, brings back memories of dancing at Site as a teenager and I loved the music at Cause Célèbre. We would also hang out a lot at Rakinos and Deschlers on High St. I remember the Globe pub full of University students, playing pool a lot at an upstairs bar called Escape in High St and later on nights at Crowe bar on the other side of Queen St. There was another downstairs bar off Queen St that played great Drum'n Bass, I can't recall the name. Glad you mentioned Khuja Lounge, that was my favourite, the music there was always wonderful.

    I loved Amazulu! Quite sad when it closed. They made a very passable brew, too. There was also an African/Carib club opposite side of the street and upstairs in the little building second along from East Street. Not far from Amazulu was the Poly club La Penina, entrance on Beresford Street. Enjoyed a few nights there.

    3:43 R.I.P Soane BTW you just earned a subscription. Thanks for doing this wee walk around Auckland with Grant, yes it was a magical time. We had a legit clubbing culture with the likes of the late Soane and Grant Marshall experiencing that very thing I wish I could back in my youth! And now Auckland is a shell of its former self. With what seems to be never-ending construction, we had a shooting around Britomart this year and just the cost of living and the ongoing homeless problem has killed the vibe in Downtown. Sorry to be a downer. I wish this goldern time came back for our future generation to experience instead of them being stuck in their phones
