Hello👋 I just subscribed to your channel today, I also just gave you a like.👍👌

It’s so weird seeing this knowing I went to Moka many times. Never knew there was a secret ground floor bit that they never used while it was Moka!!! They should’ve kept that it would’ve been even bigger and better! Can’t believe it’s been nearly 3 years… Still sad that it closed 😩 they’re turning it into flats soon.

The ground floor club wasn't used when Moka was open, so they only ran on 50% of the building which is a shame. The whole nightclubbing industry is struggling unfortunately

This takes me back. I’ve had many many nights in this place and it usually quite busy

The club opened in the mid 90s as ikon Diva. It had a 3rd floor VIP lounge called the Gallary. The ground floor was Diva, on a Thursday night it was £20 entry all you can drink. The club changed to liquid envy in 2008, and then to Moka. The club use to feed off all the bars in crawley high street, there were loads through the 90s & 00s. The high street on a Friday and Saturday night was packed. Then the recession hit and bars closed, never opened again or kept changing hands. Plus the town started to decline, dodgy characters moving to the area from abroad, the vibe vanished. I for one, had a bloody cracking time from 2001 - 2008, pretty much every weekend in my early 20s.

I just gone past the old Moka Nightclub this morning, they are now starting to demolish it I am shocked it been closed since 2019 I thought it had shut because of Cornovirus pandemic that Overline House needs sorting out now it a dirty old building .

Night clubs have a short time of customers, usually only open and busy late on a Friday and Sat night (5hrs) and have to be packed to pay for the weeks rent on the place, hence entry fees.

there used to be tables where those cinema chairs were. Club used to be packed when i went. Cheap too

Never been to a club this big. Concert venue, maybe.

Luminary’s also ran the night club in redhill, the embassy back in the days I also worked in there, it’s now apartments a lot of planning as listed building shame it was changed to apartments. There was a lot of history there an would had been awesome to done ghost explores there due to the projector man from buzbys/millionaires cinema guy committed suicide in projector room upstairs there. My ma worked there when I was just 3 for a good few years. My brother and I used to love going to work with her, we used to explore from top to bottom. It was quite spooky as started experiencing paranormal at age 5 there. Love seeing abandoned night club videos, cheers guys for sharing ( sorry for spelling mistakes an I’m not good for wording)

New customer good Video nice 1

I would go there when it was Ikon Diva. Top floor was Ikon for 18+ and Diva was for 25+ (ground floor club) Great memories, started with the under 18s events. Sad to see its being knocked down this year and clubbing is now a rare thing. Everyone would head there when the bars curfew was stop serving I think near 11pm

Nice one guys 👌

eu duvido si vocês tirassem as iluminações de festas dessa boate eu ficaria feliz com isso

Super discothèque qui est encore en bonne état merci

Loads to salvage in there. Those lights, are worth thousands (with new bulbs). I’d have the mirror ball in my house

From what I remember the upstairs vista club was open to anyone, they used to play more old school music if I remember rightly?

This makes me want to open a club

So the first of the club was never in use. Was only used for a Halloween maze that lead you to the top dance floor/club area

When the club was Liquid & Envy the downstairs club was Envy. When rebrand to Moka they never reopened ground floor club. But one year they held a Halloween party in the ground floor club before the whole venue closed down. Deltic group said the club was only running on 50% capacity, and that's because they only used upstairs lol.

@@tsuk2018 I used to go to moka almost every weekend when I 18 - 20. The upstairs was like a cheesy song room where they would play old hit. The main club would play more of your dance music / newer songs. Sad they never used the empty space for another room. Seems like such a waste

@@amymcilwraith1424 I think it was intentially done when rebranded to Moka, they were not getting enough footfall to warrant the room downstairs. Rent for a massive building like that, and not making half the potential income they could have done.

Back in the day when it was Ikon Diva, Diva was the downstairs area and was only for over 25s.

Wow this is a blast from the past. In March 1998 I got a job here when I was 17 turned 18 it was called Ikon and Diva run by Rank Entertainment yes the Film company. Downstairs was Diva for 24 year old and over Ikon upstairs. Then changed to Moka many years later. Was a fantastic club and pulled many woman. Now all knocked down.

I worked here when it was icon diva night club, the liquid and envy
