1. Heaven & Hell
Heaven & Hell within the Grand Arcade became a magnet for partygoers and students. Remember stumbling out after a good night back in the day? | Emma Nichols Photo: Emma Nichols
2. Brannigans
Brannigans on Vicar Lane was a haunt to go and get completely blathered rather than pop in for a couple. They packed people in like sardines - which makes for a very sweaty time. | Jonathan Gawthorpe Photo: Jonathan Gawthorpe
3. Becketts Bank
Becketts Bank on Park Row screamed chain pub from the moment you walked in. But who cared? It was a cheap round back in the day. Pictured are managers husband and wife team Phil and Paula Buckley in January 2001. | Claire Lim Photo: Claire Lim
4. Yates's Wine Lodge
Everyone bobbed in here - Yates's on Boar Lane - for a few, right? | PA Photo: PA
5. Cuban Heels
Cuban Heels on Assembly Street was a rather hectic place, tucked around the corner from The Corn Exchange and Fudge. Always buzzing the ambience was happy go lucky. | Sarah Washbourn Photo: Sarah Washbourn
6. Majestyk
The Majestyk nightclub on Boar Lane is where a lot of revellers ended up. | Bruce Rollinson Photo: Bruce Rollinson
