I'm just glad I did my clubbing when it was 'fairly safe' - but it's no new news really - The Buzz had a reputation of which I never went to (I'm that old I can remember it when it was a bus station haha) but my lady used to go to the Paradox and not see a scrap of trouble either.

The Krazy House was another example - a terrible reputation for fights and stuff and it's probably one of the most decent places I've been to as there are no scallies, just lots of metal fans!
A night out would be starting off in Bold Street (general boozer), a walk around to Chillies 2, mooch around in another pub and finish off in Plummers on Hardman Street. 99% of the time you had a good time and there weren't any arses trying to have a pop at you. These days, I don't touch town with a barge pole because a, people now carry knives and guns openly, b, kids have their 1st pint and want to fight anyone and c, you are always watching your back.
Some of the best nights were lost in a corner of a nightclub dancing my knackers off, these days I'd rather be an old fart and go to my local!
