That Massive (Dance) Nightclub that was at the Red Dragon Centre years ago.

You know when you cant think of a name for film, place, person etc; and it drives you mental? Well I am having that now with that huge dance nightclub that was at/in the Red Dragon Centre down Atlantic Wharf years ago. It probably closed down about 2005ish, it was not actually inside the centre but it was a part of the building complex and its entrance was to the left side of the main entrance to the complex.

I only ever went once, but I was thinking of going down to the Red Dragon Centre this weekend and a memory of it popped into my head, and cant for the life of my remember the name and it is doing my head in.

Anyone remember what it was called?

Oceana?

Evolution?

It was a dump from my recollection. Went once, shite trance/ pop dance and we broke up 3 fights in the 15 minutes we stayed there

 

[Supine]

I kind of know where you mean. The name escapes me.

That's the one! Thanks . I was thinking it started with an E but my mind kept saying "Escape? No, Escape is in Swansea" so went off the E lol .

Yeah it was a bit of a dump, thats why I only went once too!

No it isn't!!

Two years!? Jesus, he must have had a load on him

 

[FaradayCaged]

No it isn't!!

I think it is. I mean, I have only been a handful of times and admittedly the last time I went was when Avatar was out in the cinema, so I may not be the best judge

they searched his flat whilst he was in custody

First time I've ever heard anyone call the Red Dragon Centre nice?! It's a dump! Haven't been there for about 4 years, but last time I was there it felt like I was walking through an abandoned shopping centre. The absence of natural light and the horrible fluorescent lighting... bleugh.

and the capitol radio twerps poisoning the air with their shite music and banal observations

To be fair, most of the times I went I was still in school and only went to the bowling. Then the last time I went, I went to see Avatar at the Odeons Imax and went in to the Casino afterwards and won about £150 from £20 on blackjack, so that might have biased my memories a bit!

In my clubbing days I went to Evolution a few times. Saw some quality DJs there-but that didnt detract from the fact the club was a fucking dump-with some shirts off valleys commandos gurning their tits off.

It was Evolution. It's a gym now. I'm a member as it's across the road from my work - they've still got the podiums, glitterballs and DJ booths in there! (no jokes).

The toilets are still every bit as minging as they were when it was a club. Though I remember back then it was the first place I'd ever been where there were two toilets in one cubicle in the Ladies, presumably because girls go to the toilet together all the time??
