11 lost Manchester bars and nightclubs we loved in the 1990s

This was never truer than in the 1990s when the city became the epicentre of cool through its culture, music and legendary nightlife. However, times change, and few of even the most famous clubs and bars that were packed out with punters every weekend have survived.

1. Hacienda So let's get the most obvious, and undoubtedly famous, Manchester '90s nightclub out the way first. Bankrolled by Tony Wilson's Factory Records and New Order, the Hacienda opened inside a former yacht builder's warehouse on Whitworth Street West on May 21, 1982, before fuelling the rise of acid house music and rave culture.

2. Boardwalk The Boardwalk in Little Peter Street was a nightclub and key venue for up-and-coming bands from its opening in 1984 until it closed in 1999. Oasis played their first concert with Noel in the line-up at the club in 1992, and bands such as the Doves, Happy Mondays, Inspiral Carpets and James also rehearsed and played early gigs there.

4. Jilly's Rockworld A Manchester institution, Jilly’s was originally known as Fagins. It opened in the 1970s on Oxford Road and was renamed Jilly’s in 1983, before adding Rockworld to its signage.
