There’s something so strange about driving past a place where you used to spend your weekends and realising that the nightclub you once knew has completely disappeared.

The spots where we dressed up, stood in queues, blew R800 on a night out and promised our parents we were “sleeping at a friend’s house” are now dentists, clinics, Woolies, furniture shops and restaurants.

Ftv in Fourways is now a Woolies, Cofi is now a furniture shop, and Vacca Matta has become a Thai spa, which, as Thembekile pointed out, technically still offers a “happy ending.” Then there’s Liquid Chefs… a name that instantly brings back memories for anyone who was out in Joburg during that era.

It’s basically a reminder that Joburg nightlife has changed dramatically but the memories of those places are still very much alive.
