Manchester's lost cheesy 1990s nightspots where we'd tried our luck when we were about 15
Manchester is a city noted for its nightlife - from exclusive bars and nightclubs to trendy hipster joints and everything in between.
So if you were out in Manchester in the '90s and harbour a secret love of disco music, cheesy pop, Bacardi Breezers or foam parties, you may well have spent time in one of the cheesy nightspots below. Of course, this isn't a comprehensive list, so if you think of any others let us know in the comments.
Discotheque Royale Although rarely called its full name of Discotheque Royale, this enormous venue next to the Free Trade Hall sparks fond memories for those who partied there in its heyday. The huge Peter Street venue peaked in the '90s - and smelt like it too - dry ice, spilt Bacardi Breezers, Lambert & Butler, Joop Homme and CK1.
The Pubs Of Manchester blog described it as a "Tardis of a pub," with a tiny front entrance that "betrayed a large cavernous room at the back." It is described as one of the first pubs to introduce a queueing system at the bar due to the large crowds it attracted. Jumpin' Jaks Based on the corner of Portland Street and Dickinson Street, Jumpin' Jaks was popular in the '90s for playing chart, cheese and dance from across the decades. It had an Australian beach shack theme inside with fake alligators and crocodiles, and was known for its roller disco, which turned the dancefloor into a drunken rink on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
