Where you went, what you danced to, your drink of choice and – sometimes most importantly – the takeaway you picked up for the way home.
So this Throwback Thursday, we’re taking a trip down memory lane to the places you visited for your first night out on the town.
From Buddy’s to Ruperts, here are some of your favourite nightspots across the borough as suggested on our Facebook page here.
