Goodbye, Whiskey Nightclub

[flipstah]

It's closing after 10 years... Went clubbing first time here! So many memories.

Y'all glad/sad to see it go? Discuss!

I had a lot of fun there 3-4 years ago but it hit the shit soon after.

I remember going to see DJ Lisa Lashes live one night in early 2003. I lost my hearing for a few days, it was bloody loud in there.

It also got so stuffy with condensation that it was actually raining in there... lol...

I've been there a few other times too... but that's the one evening that stands out.

+1. I remember in first year, it was the shit; when I really started living my life!

In terms of atmosphere and music, it got progressively worse as the years went on. Still sad to see it go. =(

I wonder what the next 'it' club is going to be.

Had a fight there, it wasnt even my "fight" just got a chair thrown at me by a rowdy native guy. IMHO, all the clubs in calgary have been really starting to look like shit holes to me. Its sad, occasionally i enjoy a few drinks and so on at a club. oh well.

That was a CP Rail place to go after work (got a sweet discount too) but it has gone way, way down hill the past couple of years.... I am sure Craft Beer Market had a hand in it's eventually demise...

Saw the Crystal Method there back in 2002-ish. Now, where will all the hardened 5'2 asians go now?

[Tomaz]

Never enjoyed going there, even in its prime. I would have to blame it on the repeating songs and the large population of amatures who read "The Game". Glad to see it go. Maybe a classy joint can take its place.

Remember when someone videod an indian guy not being allowed into the whiskey. Where will the ethnic nobodies go now? Will they still whine about not being white? Where???

All those gucci/prada fanny packs will pop up somewhere else soon enough.

Never went, don't care. Craft is sweet though, great gluten free menu

I only ever went there to see DJs that were in town, and the sound system wasn't that great anyways. (although better than tantra/the mansion... that place has horrible speakers.)

[SpeedIllusion]

They aren't actually closing down...they going to same route as the old Tantra. It's going to get renovated and open up with a different name, same owner.

[Trinzler]

I only went for that blond, big tittied asian bartender lol

RIP Whiskey

[BMDUBS]

Went there to meet friends a few weeks ago, $13 for cover charge! Those fucking pricks! Like its a high end club or something... Too bad it is the same owner bringing in a new venue.

aha cherry? Nice fake titties


Whiskey wasn't that great...but compared to other places in Calgary it still is above average. It's just going to be flipped into another bar...same old crap aha.

[Masked Bandit]

I remember when they first opened it was the place to be & be seen.

With all the trendy clubs that come & go it amazes me that The Back Alley & The Ranchmans keep on cruisin'.

[l/l/rX]

surprised it lasted this long to begin with, that place went downhill... the most fun I had there was about 6-7 years ago. But thank god for Commonwealth sick new joint.

There's lots of 'it' clubs: West, ubu and sociale are a few, even though I don't think any of them are special.

I'm glad to see Whiskey go. It used to be so good, 21 and 25+, amazing on friday nights and a good crowd. Now they'll let anyone in and 80% of the people in there are Somali. They have to give it a new image because it's just s shithole now.

[pea_soup]

The Ranchman's is world renound. Some tend to forget its well known due to the stampede and because it's been in several movies. It'll always be legendary.

[Trinzler]

UBU lounge is more of a restaurant than a club I find. Food is thankfully decent.
