NEWPORT has played host to some fantastic nightclubs and pubs over the years.
From laser lights and foam parties at Brooklyn Heights, to the mosh pit at TJs - all guaranteed a great night out back in the day.
This week we asked our readers what was the first nightclub they went to in the city and the answers did not dissapoint. Tiffany's, Scamps, Rudies, the Stow Away, Ziggy's, Cinderella's and Ritzy's were all on the list. Perhaps you were a fan of Baltica or Chicago Rock? Or the Bank and Annabelle's?
We've delved into our archive to find some photos of Newport venues in the past. What did you know these clubs as in the past?
