    Worked behind the bar there for 2 years, 2003-2005 and loved every minute of it. Met some great people both staff and customers. The club may have died but the memories will live forever

    Watching this back makes me so sad, even 10 years later. It was a fantastic club and it's so missed just like Maximes. Both clubs gone. Kids these days don't know what they missed. Best night out ever especially at the Pier.

    I met my hubby there. I used to go to under 18's every Thursday & Sunday then started going every Friday & Saturday , we have been together since 1991 & married for 14yrs. We made some great friends. Some fantastic nights & memories..... Phil & big Dave on the door, terry (owner), Malcolm, nipper (rip) , bar staff & cleaners and too many to mention. The best days of our lives spent there!

    Oh my god..... this just completely broke my heart. It's gone, all gone and it'll never come back.. all the bullshit about change being progress. Don't let anyone fool you. It isn't progress. Those days were the pinnacle of life. It will never be that good again. To see the Pier looking like that is just awful. The ghosts of all those memories....... Oh my god.... all those happy people, meeting, growing, loving, resisting being controlled and celebrating life together. Gone. Scattered. Awful, just awful. They took the spirit of a generation and trashed it when they shut the pier. Life will never be the same....

    Don’t know if I’ve already commented on this, cba scrolling back. I only ever managed to go here once, absolutely criminal looking back. Summer 92, not even sure who was on, Malc definitely, possibly Lee Garry. It was a great night and I wish I’d have followed it up with more nights, sadly it wasn’t to be. The music went really bad, all that Donk nonsense and Scouse House, not my bag that shite.
    I remember stumbling across the chill out room up in the gods and the hi-viz clad lads that turned out to be the go to folk for your Gary’s!
    It’s true what they say- you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone!

Used to be 800 people in there easily queuing way back over the bridge. The clubs in King Street were just fkin shit compared. So many memories, met so many friends in there who are still friends to this day. Screw those wankers in their posh flats! The Pier was there waaay before you came along!!! Very sad it is going to be demolished. :(
