Over the past few decades, we have loved and lost so many different nightclubs – from city centre hotspots to bougie bars in Southsea.
But all of these venues have something in common, with each one leaving behind fond memories for clubgoers.
The News asked readers which were the best nightclubs to ever exist in the city – and here are people’s favourites.
. The Mecca
If you were to travel back to Portsmouth in the 1960s or 70s, it is likely you would have put on your dancing shoes and gone to The Mecca in Arundel Street. Photo: Contributed
. Joanna's
This club burnt down and was later demolished in 2011. Back in the day you would have found Joanna's on South Parade in Southsea. Photo: Paul Jacobs
