22 incredible photos of abandoned nightclubs from around the world

The party may be over, but with a little bit of imagination, you can go back in time and party in hotspots from the 80s, 90s and so on.

At one time or another, these lavish clubs and venues boomed with young people, drinks, dancing and culture. They were a glorious place for people to come and indulge in music. That time might have come and gone, but their memories live on and in some post-apocalyptic structures in all their decaying glory remain.

See a photo gallery with derelict structures from around the world above.
