I don't think it's still open, but when I was about 18-19 there was a place that friends used to go a bit and I got dragged along to a couple of times.

Famous Nightclub.

Couldn't stand the place. Overpriced, the music was crap, the people were crap, the bartenders were rude and slow, the toilets stunk even more than your typical club.

I was so relieved when they stopped going there.

The place was the overage nightclub that all the 17 years old went to! I don't think I actually went there once I turned 18!!

Before I start this story you need to remember that in the early 00's there were no drug driving laws, so I wouldn't condone this today.


Years back I went out with a few mates on a massive bender. Pills, coke, dope, burbon ext. the whole load. It got to about 5 in the morning and we were at our third place (Bubble) and there were only 4 of us left by this stage. One mate was chatting up a bird and 3 of us were on the dance floor, when 2 of us had realised that we had run out of gear. My mate threw up the idea that we drive back to his place and pick up some more stuff, so off we went. We told our mate who was on the dance floor we will be back soon, he was fine, he just said hurry up.
So we get back to my mates place and our mate who was chatting to the bird sent us a message saying 'Sorry I've left with the bird boys, talk tomoz'. This was all good, the 2 of us had a laugh and thought we don't have to rush back to the club now. So we chilled at his place doing a few lines and smoking a few j's. We were there for a good couple of ours when all of a sudden around 8am we realised that we had left our other mate there on the dance floor. So we jump back in the car drive into the city and get back into Bubble about 8.30. Thinking he is going to kill us we race into the club to see that he hasn't moved from the same place on the dance floor. In fact the funniest part was he thought we had only been gone for 20 mins. Funny, funny stuff

Typical Bubble business. Another funny one was a guy at PHD Saturday who was shocked it was already 3 on Saturday Arvo. Been at it from 10 at Billboards the night before haha. Said he told his mum he was only going out for a couple of hours to his mates house funny campaigner.

Private school shenanigans. So shit.

A seal bit me once.

"I'm a monster!!"

Too many shit nights for me to count. Back in my poor uni days I was the designated dave for my mates. Cue many nights at Goo/cheers stone cold sober, bored off my nuts watching my mates get parroted and picking up while I sat around awkwardly. Not my fondest memories.

Renowned for doing the soggy sao?

You can have a big night out on a $50 note. I know people that go out on about half that.

Kidding yourself.

edit: Depends what time you head home I spose.

Tiger makes me want to move even further away from Singapore. Shittest beer since they laid the first brick at the Tooheys brewery

Tun Bitter has it covered.

Club hopping?! In Melbourne surely, at the absolute most, you'll just go to two places: somewhere before and then Revs at 2. Then again I am toast by 3.

fancy leaving revs at 3 lol... how embarrassing.

Easy
Pre's: Split a bottle of bourbon or something ($30) with a mate= $15. Have enough so that you only need 1 or 2 at the club
Entry= $5-15
2 drinks at club= $20 max

So around 50 all up. Then again I use nightrider but ifcabbing it with mates then it shouldnt be more than 10 or so each way depending where you live

That's not really a night out, though.

That's like watching a day's play of cricket at home then turning up at the ground during the final session once it's half price/free then calling it a day at the cricket.

Split a slab o Aldi Ale, which is surprisingly not terrible, for $15 each way. Entry somewhere. Few drinks. Still adds to a cheaper night. I always end up spending more than I want to so I kind of agree – what's the point in going out and not having a big one or worrying about how much you've spent? Stinginess shits me to no end so it annoys me when I see it, but you can still shout the a couple of drinks and not be a total scunge but still go out for well less than a hunge.

I'm familiar with the concept of pre-drinking, you're not talking about anything I didn't do a decade ago.

I still think that if your 'night out' consists of splitting a carton or a bottle then having one or two drinks at a club you may as well just stay home and call it a night in.

Yeh I reckon I'd struggle to spend under $200 on a night out.

You can have a gutful and still have a cheap night considering most places will be shipping something for $5. I don't agree with being a stinge but you can still have a cheap night without being money conscious.

It's not about how much you can drink or getting 10 drinks into you without spending $100 - it's about a night out actually being a night out. How many great stories are bookended by 'so we stayed home drinking until 12 so we could save money' and 'then we left by 2 to make sure we could still get home without a taxi'?

I've had great nights out that have been cheap and not that boozy and dud nights out that have cost a fortune and left me with a hangover that felt like I was recovering from an autopsy.
