WHETHER it was the cheesy tunes that pulled you in or the cheap pints, students in Brighton have always been guaranteed a good night out.
With night clubs once again allowed to welcome punters back through their doors, plenty will be eager for a good night out more than ever.
Nowadays we have the likes of Shooshh and Patterns that are heaving to the brim with students during Freshers Week.
But over the years we have sadly said goodbye to loads of clubs and bars as licences are revoked or the competition gets too much.
The memories might be blurry – but here are some of the clubs now missing from the streets of Brighton.
Oceana
Oceana opened in September 2007 after it was brought by Luminar Leisure.
It had different rooms, including separate nightclubs, restaurants and bars, aiming to offer “the world in one night”.
Each room was themed according to a different city, such as Venice, Tokyo, Sydney, New York and Reykjavik.
The venue had previously been called Event II, Event and the famous Top Rank Suite.
From the late 1970s the Top Rank Suite entered its heyday, drawing the country's biggest names to its stage including acts like the Undertones, Public Image Ltd and Joy Division.
In 2014, the Luminar Group spent £1 million revamping Oceana and the club reopened under the name Pryzm.
Lola Lo, East Street
VIP booths and an illuminated dance floor were some of Lola Lo’s highlights.
Add in its Polynesian decor, cocktails and waitress service, its student nights soon became a favourite.
The venue closed in 2017.
Funky Buddha Lounge, King’s Road
The Funky Buddha Lounge open in 1999 and closed in 2010.
The club attached a diverse crowd and was especially popular on the weekend for after-parties, which started at 3am and went on until 8 in the morning.
The venue became The Tube in 2014.
The Honey Club, King’s Road
The Honey Club closed in 2012 and reopened as Shoosh.
It had seven bars in five rooms, a VIP room and an extended balcony, plus two outdoor terraces.
With transparent glass floors, leather booths, chandeliers and a DJ booth made out of reclaimed, exposed bricks, the venue was the embodiment of early noughties club culture.
Ocean Rooms, Morley Street
The club hosted top dance music acts including Hot Chip, Felix Da Housecat and Groove Armada, according to its website.
It had previously operated as The Yard and Psychosocial.
But its licence was suspended at the request of Sussex Police, which claimed it was not co-operating with investigations into the assault and subsequent death of a man.
Ricky Brown, 25, was assaulted near the Ocean Rooms on New Year's Day in 2010 and died five days later.
The Engine Room, King’s Road
The Engine Room shut down in mysterious circumstances in 2010 and cancelled all upcoming events.
There was no announcement on the club's website although its Myspace site had a small notice saying that the venue, which had been up for sale, had closed and that all shows and club nights were cancelled.
Hedkandi, West Street
Hedkandi opened in the centre of Brighton in 2011.
At the time, the club was only the third Ministry of Sound venue to open in the country.
In a previous life, Hedkandi was the Pink Coconut and Sherry’s, the dance hall so famous it was mentioned in Graham Greene’s Brighton Rock.
It then went on to become Paradox, Creation, Project, Tru and, finally, Hedkandi.
Audio, Marine Parade
Audio, one the Brighton’s best loved and most influential nightclubs, was at the forefront of the city’s nightlife scene for 30 years as The Escape Club, then Audio.
Daft Punk, The Stone Roses and The Chemical Brothers all performed at the venue.
Audio closed for major refurbishment and reopened as Patterns in 2015.
