LOST Nightclubs of SOUTH AUCKLAND (with Queen Shirl'e)

[@dmnt-ce5hu]

Club Tropicana (Billy Joes) in Old Papatoetoe from the 80s.... Club Miami/Raro... memory lane

[@bentuteru3796]

This video provides a fantastic opportunity for Pacific Islanders to promote South Auckland night life as a way of promoting Pacific Is Holiday destinations for NZders wanting to explore the Pacific Islands. R&b, Hip Hop mixed with island shows. A great employment opportunity for Islanders as well

[@LuqmanIsmail-j7e]

this video was incredible really gave me an insight on how south auckland was back in the 2000s and the history of this place, thank you Shae and Queen Shirle for telling us more about south auckland.

[@KrackaWoody84]

Thanks for the trip down Memory Lane had some awesome messy nights at all those bars LOL A few missed were Sevens (Manukau), Sheepies Bar (Papatotoe) , Oasis, Roadhouse (Papakura) Woodys Bar REWA late 90s to mid 2000s were such a great era of night clubbing in Auckland, left NZ in 2008, I came back from Oz in 2017 on holiday went to go out out with my brother and their was literally one club open downtown in the city was a lil shocked how everything had changed. Big ups to Queen Shirle an OG of the hip hop scene.

[@importnights6584]

Brah, hunters inn down Charles st in papatoetoe

[@Rob-g3m]

[@dariushleniu7748]

Home sweet home, Mangere boy living in Melbourne 17yrs, so much memories, as a teenager, Papatoetoe Rec was the hangout and Lil Abner's had that Yokum burger, humongous......thanks for sharing.

[@DeceptionEarth]

yea yea go cartz,,nah nah drags,that was me to bro follow the drag train to where eva,i prefered house partyz where you could get in with chuck taylor,s on

[@djkchur]

Another great episode Shae! What a walk down memory lane as I had been to most of these venues during my early 20's.The Colosseum was across the road from where "the Bar" is now. Studio X is worth a mention as well for the Manukau area which was a little harder to get into if you were on the boarders of "your to young to be in here". There were a few more bars further out to in Papakura - Oasis and the Road House. Looking forward to the next Episode, Love your work🤟

[@64kuki42]

Club Raro was solid 🇨🇰🇨🇰 heaps of memories

[@cobenstorer6114]

St George Tavern was cool. Lil' Abners Yokum Burgers are a South Auckland staple! Copper Joe's was a young people's meat market. Rewa's The Local was where you went if you wanted to fight all night. 90s nostalgia with this video. Tbh I was the dezi driver because someone had to look after us, esp the sisters. Don't get it twisted, just cos I wasn't drinking, didn't mean I wasn't on a Buddha or Wizard lmfao. Respect to security because we were a handful. From going out every Thursday to Monday because we could afford it (?). This was before Paris Hilton so it was Starter Jackets, Creepers, Origin Jeans and Snapbacks. The ladies would add a feminine touch with a pony tail or hoop earrings 😭😭😭😭 I miss the collective dancing 🙏🏾 thanks for this vid. Southside all day.

[@dmnt-ce5hu]

St George Tavern! Back in the 80s the lounge bar was just as good as the public bar

[@vaiona5156]

Early 2000s when popping ya shirt collar was a trend with the dress shoes then few years later dress with pastal colored polo shirts and the white shoes😄 so much fun! club SEVEN down barkerfield place was my jam before heading into GUADA Bar🍻😎🍻

[@makingchangeslifechanges4950]

i also remember the rugby guys taking all of us to Apia way - one of the boys Bdays , my mate stewie only white guy i seen in there dancing on a table with his shirt off haha , then we went to town after

[@barbarahill4812]

[@petelosuaniu]

[@extremehorrorfan71]

Wow. Thank u. I was a teen in the 80s. breakdancing on cardboard infront of Lil' Abners. Getting $ from drunks leaving Club Raro. Then down to 3guys supermarket. A day dosnt pass without me thinking of Papatoetoe 1980s. Thank u both for the cry lol ❤❤

[@NZStarWarsNooB]

Yes, and this is why my attendance to nightclubs was minimal.

[@twirl4968]

[@dmnt-ce5hu]

I remember Club Shalamar!

[@kayreece297]

[@bFORCe2003]

The South Auckland night clubs I used to go to was Club Raro (late 90's, Manu Vatuvei's older brother used to be one of the bouncers), Roadhouse, Oasis (both in the 2000's) and there was one in Manukau across from the Westfield (not sure what it was called). I usually went downtown to the City to places like Shakers (my mate Willie used to DJ there) Base bar, Club U4ria, Ginger Bar, Waterfront, Loaded Hog, Lefield (Float).....cant remember some of the rest as I had a few mates who were bouncers or DJ's at the various clubs.

[@audiosex]

Ohhh Snap...Thank you for Mentioning Club Raro! Everyone from South Auckland knows the legend that is Club Raro. Suprised its still a club after all these years just named something else. I love this walk down memory lane

[@maffrose]

Worked with a guy who was killed there, got thrown down stairs, knocked out and never regained consciousness.

[@mitsimadness1]

Soul Train on Jack Conway which was renamed The Colosseum

[@lnaf]

Haha memories, i live in Christchurch but used to frequently travel to Auckland and Apia way night club was pumping, and yea so true about the fights, theres always that vibe when everyones outside at the carpark and wondering whos gonna start a fight.

[@cameraop8210]

[@ishmerailatu5253]

I am commenting to enter the rhodes headphones giveaway. 🎉like, subscribe, comment. Interesting video tour vlog. Relevant to the video content was hip hop evolution within South Auckland demographics. Nightlife social trends and challenges. Focus on music scene existence. Inspirational djs, bands, rappers, hip hop, rnb and music creatives. Story tellings, expansion of mindsets, brand changes over time, go to song selections kareoke. No money choices. Basically, 'wheres it gone? Queen Shirl'e?' infusion, and friendships and familiar faces. 🎉 Sharing memories! Thanks for the video vlog tour.

[@TangodownNZ]

Cool that Lil Abner’s still has the legendary Street Fighter II. We used to go to the Colosseum, used to have dance comps. We thought we were cool because we knew the bouncer and could get in under age. The Bar is not the old Colosseum. The Colosseum was directly opposite on the other side of the road. The building was knocked down and is now that C3 Church building. The Colosseum was a futurist (back in the 80s), looking black glass multi level building. It was a very cool place in its day. Great video

[@agentc1823]

Club raro/Miami Sundays after league and netball. Good days 😂

[@richardwefsthompson8972]

[@paulineperry6147]

This was an awesome stroll down memory lane - I went to these clubs back in the day and it reminds me of a time where hanging out with your girls/mates at any of these clubs was a simpler time back then :)

[@phillgreen8792]

Hey I'm a young buck, that's watched quite a few of your Auckland and Wellington videos now. I'm getting pretty interested in all this culture and history and all of it is coming as a shock to me. I lived near Avondale for a while and went to school there, do you have any stories about Avondale? From the little I've seen Avondale seems like it's full of life. Thanks for the vids.

[@shae_sterling]

Yes I'm def keen to do Avondale. I have someone in mind :)

[@DJBROSKIFDKNS]
