Dunlop Street in Glasgow was just off the waterfront on Clyde Street, and was home to the The Mardi Gras and Warehouse nightclubs. The Mardis Gras was the first night club to have a elevated dance floor in the U.K. I’ll be blogging later on the Mardis Gras, given it was the venue of our first under-18’s night in Glasgow city centre, and the fact that the dance floor actually moved from ground to basement level – very confusing in the middle of a rave.
The site was closed down in the early 1990’s and was soon demolished to make way for flats. Images courtesy of http://www.oldglasgowpubs.co.uk/ Many thanks.

Here’s a picture of Clyde Street with the old stinking hulk of the Carrick in the foreground. In the background you can see the demolished site where the Warehouse and Mardi Gras were across the road from the Carrick and just on the left of the picture.
