Melbourne nightclubs: Pictures of clubbers partying pre-Covid at much loved venues

Dancefloors are back open in Melbourne, much to the joy of the former regulars snapped at venues across the city. See if you can spot you and your mates in our giant gallery.

Leader has compiled a massive collection of clubbing pics at some of Melbourne’s most famous venues.

The good times are back at clubs all over Melbourne, with dancefloors finally getting a workout after being bare for a good chunk of the last two years.

But before a new breed of party animals emerge, and more fun memories are made, we’re showcasing those who left their mark and lived it up in some of Melbourne’s most loved venues pre-Covid.

Leader has done various photo galleries filled with vintage pics of clubbers, which we’ve obtained from the venues and old-school Melbourne clubbing website Max Moose.

We’ve put them all together in a one-stop ultimate collection, allowing you to try and spot yourselves, and your mates, and relive some of the best nights of your lives.

Some of the venues are sadly no more, but a few have withstood the times, and no doubt would love you to go down again for a beer and a boogie as they rebuild from the pandemic.

Click on the link to each venue below, relive the memories, and start planning your next (Covid-safe) night out at some of your favourite haunts.
