From Joanna’s to Ritzy to Tiger Tiger, plenty of iconic venues have closed down over the years – with Pryzm being the most recent venue added to the list after closing last year.
The city has no doubt been home to some absolutely sensational venues and The News has decided to look back at some of most historic and iconic clubs in the city that cease to exist.
Here are 17 nightclubs that have shut over the years:
13. Granny's
This club once called the famous Tricorn Centre home. It was on the first floor of the iconic building. It was knocked down at the turn of the 21st century. Photo: JPIMedia
14. Joanna's
This club burnt down and was later demolished in 2011. Back in the day you would have found Joanna's on South Parade in Southsea. Photo: Paul Jacobs
15. Ritzy
Probably the most suggested of all the lost Portsmouth clubs. Ritzy was a beloved nightclub on Arundel Street. Photo: Google Maps
16. The Mecca
If you were to travel back to Portsmouth in the 1960s or70s, it is likely you would have put on your dancing shoes and gone to The Mecca in Arundel Street. Photo: Contributed
