Anyway it catered to a gay/str8/anything in betweeen alternative/artsy crowd & most of the people there were slightly older than many of us teenagers. I had heard that it had been opened since the Prohibition times & was a gin hangout in the 20's & 30's. It stayed open till sometimes 6am & was the place most of us went after the other San Francisco Clubs had closed. This was a semi-popular/'secret' hang-out by alot of SOMA artists and new wavers 'in-the-know'. The club changed its name later on to Deco's and Amnesia but 1235 was definitely 'The Club' back then.ġ983-1987. Back when Miami beach was desolate and full of old timers this club used to be the life of Washington Avenue.
This club started the Miami Beach club revolution. like Sweet Sensation, Noel, Corina, etc.Įarly 80's. They had a lot of freestyle acts performing on Sat. It was located on 10th Avenue and 18th Street, hence the name 1018. It was the hottest club, used to be the old Roxy's. Great music in this little sunken dance floor. Usually Tues and Wed were the popular 007 nights with Thursday as the standard for punks, posers, and wannabees.
007 was backwards for the disco Metro 700 club. It is still around, and on certain nights, indistinguishable from the mid-80's. Probably the oldest club in Houston, defined the alternative 80's dance music scene in Houston. This is a list of the various large clubs that were around during the 80s.
