Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane had some awesome messy nights at all those bars LOL A few missed were Sevens (Manukau), Sheepies Bar (Papatotoe) , Oasis, Roadhouse (Papakura) Woodys Bar REWA late 90s to mid 2000s were such a great era of night clubbing in Auckland, left NZ in 2008, I came back from Oz in 2017 on holiday went to go out out with my brother and their was literally one club open downtown in the city was a lil shocked how everything had changed. Big ups to Queen Shirle an OG of the hip hop scene.
this video was incredible really gave me an insight on how south auckland was back in the 2000s and the history of this place, thank you Shae and Queen Shirle for telling us more about south auckland.
Ohhh Snap...Thank you for Mentioning Club Raro! Everyone from South Auckland knows the legend that is Club Raro. Suprised its still a club after all these years just named something else. I love this walk down memory lane
This girl is so awesome I loved all her stories I wish I was living in South Auckland. My life was very dry compared to Shirl.E's live. Thanks for sharing Shirl.E
Classic memories before Bali Hai it was called Club Cordova the original 275 R&B Niteclub where Ardijah started & where Jay Laga'aia won the singing contest to Stevie Wonders song,Lately😍💯
St George Tavern was cool. Lil' Abners Yokum Burgers are a South Auckland staple! Copper Joe's was a young people's meat market. Rewa's The Local was where you went if you wanted to fight all night. 90s nostalgia with this video. Tbh I was the dezi driver because someone had to look after us, esp the sisters. Don't get it twisted, just cos I wasn't drinking, didn't mean I wasn't on a Buddha or Wizard lmfao. Respect to security because we were a handful. From going out every Thursday to Monday because we could afford it (?). This was before Paris Hilton so it was Starter Jackets, Creepers, Origin Jeans and Snapbacks. The ladies would add a feminine touch with a pony tail or hoop earrings 😭😭😭😭 I miss the collective dancing 🙏🏾 thanks for this vid. Southside all day.
This video provides a fantastic opportunity for Pacific Islanders to promote South Auckland night life as a way of promoting Pacific Is Holiday destinations for NZders wanting to explore the Pacific Islands. R&b, Hip Hop mixed with island shows. A great employment opportunity for Islanders as well
i also remember the rugby guys taking all of us to Apia way - one of the boys Bdays , my mate stewie only white guy i seen in there dancing on a table with his shirt off haha , then we went to town after
I love watching this show. So much music history was built behind these walls. Im watching your show from Western Australia BUT my flatmate is from South Auckland born in 82 but his older brothers went to all the nightclubs on your show or from the past. Very good show love it
Haha memories, i live in Christchurch but used to frequently travel to Auckland and Apia way night club was pumping, and yea so true about the fights, theres always that vibe when everyones outside at the carpark and wondering whos gonna start a fight.
Home sweet home, Mangere boy living in Melbourne 17yrs, so much memories, as a teenager, Papatoetoe Rec was the hangout and Lil Abner's had that Yokum burger, humongous......thanks for sharing.
Another great episode Shae! What a walk down memory lane as I had been to most of these venues during my early 20's.The Colosseum was across the road from where "the Bar" is now. Studio X is worth a mention as well for the Manukau area which was a little harder to get into if you were on the boarders of "your to young to be in here". There were a few more bars further out to in Papakura - Oasis and the Road House. Looking forward to the next Episode, Love your work🤟
The South Auckland night clubs I used to go to was Club Raro (late 90's, Manu Vatuvei's older brother used to be one of the bouncers), Roadhouse, Oasis (both in the 2000's) and there was one in Manukau across from the Westfield (not sure what it was called). I usually went downtown to the City to places like Shakers (my mate Willie used to DJ there) Base bar, Club U4ria, Ginger Bar, Waterfront, Loaded Hog, Lefield (Float).....cant remember some of the rest as I had a few mates who were bouncers or DJ's at the various clubs.
This was an awesome stroll down memory lane - I went to these clubs back in the day and it reminds me of a time where hanging out with your girls/mates at any of these clubs was a simpler time back then :)
yea yea go cartz,,nah nah drags,that was me to bro follow the drag train to where eva,i prefered house partyz where you could get in with chuck taylor,s on
Cool that Lil Abner’s still has the legendary Street Fighter II. We used to go to the Colosseum, used to have dance comps. We thought we were cool because we knew the bouncer and could get in under age. The Bar is not the old Colosseum. The Colosseum was directly opposite on the other side of the road. The building was knocked down and is now that C3 Church building. The Colosseum was a futurist (back in the 80s), looking black glass multi level building. It was a very cool place in its day. Great video
Sup Shae.... yup when i moved up from Wellys I ended up living in Sth Auckland, I remember the Duke in Mt Wellington, A.. Way in Mangere, Studio X in Manukau, Quaddas, Chocolate City, Club Raro, and in Panmure a club that didn't close till 6am in the morning, Lepua Ha or La Box.... hardcase
New subscriber bro, interesting to know about these clubs from south aucks never known much about any of these clubs but it's some good insight thanks for sharing it with us, and thanks to queen shirl'e as well she did a good job explaining it all.. anyways bro have a solid as xmas bless you💯💙
Early 2000s when popping ya shirt collar was a trend with the dress shoes then few years later dress with pastal colored polo shirts and the white shoes😄 so much fun! club SEVEN down barkerfield place was my jam before heading into GUADA Bar🍻😎🍻
No mention of the big club that used to be next to where Wendy's is now in Mannix.. Cant remember what it was called tho. I think it became a TAB before it was torn down
Gotta do one on Htwn Clubs m.bro! Back in the Days first club I remembered was Porkys north end of Victoria st, that was my first club coz I biked there as a kid n was checking out all the girls 😂😂 Porkys later becoming Cheers! Then Rocks Off aka The Club. or Shakes aka Groove Inn, Legends, The Bank, Freemans, Governors, Loaded Hog, OutBack and The best one Orbit! Man miss those days! Me n the boy's cruising into town on my Valiant 😂😂 FK yeah!
hahaha i ended up in Apia Way one time, was cool! My night started at a sportsbar in Onehunga near Mt Smart, then I met some poly girls and got dragged there! it was good, got soooo drunk!
I've been waiting for this South Side episode. Phenomenal clubs back in the day out south. You would start out south before heading into town. Sheepies & 7s was some good ones not mentioned. Yokum Burger 🍔🍔 Lil Abz
Where do I start..40 years in the security industry...from central Auckland to South, west, east, north shore.. Not many of us left....😂😂😂😂 Awesome video...
Wow. Thank u. I was a teen in the 80s. breakdancing on cardboard infront of Lil' Abners. Getting $ from drunks leaving Club Raro. Then down to 3guys supermarket. A day dosnt pass without me thinking of Papatoetoe 1980s. Thank u both for the cry lol ❤❤
Amazing video to watch yes brings back awesome times in those night cl😮bs where is the club with the phones you could ring people on other tables so funny in the day love it🎉
Shae, truly enjoyed the nostalgic nightclub tour... it would've brought back some memories in some shape or form. I notice that you and Queen Shirl'e were standing outside an old stomping ground at the Mangere Town Centre. A little over 40 years ago that Gaming Lounge was known as Club Cordova *correct me if I'm wrong, and at its height boasted some of NZ's most prolific bands. I tip my hat to all who graced that era. Cheers.
Hey I'm a young buck, that's watched quite a few of your Auckland and Wellington videos now. I'm getting pretty interested in all this culture and history and all of it is coming as a shock to me. I lived near Avondale for a while and went to school there, do you have any stories about Avondale? From the little I've seen Avondale seems like it's full of life. Thanks for the vids.
