What is Britain's Oldest Nightclub Really Like? The Acapulco Halifax
Head to Patreon for more: www.patreon.com/markorandelovic
The Acapulco, the 8th wonder of the world situated in the glorious valleys of Halifax, West Yorkshire, UK.
Come with me on a trip down memory lane as I journey back from Indonesia’s ring of fire to the intrepid streets of Halifax and onto the UKs oldest nightclub.
Does this almost 70 year old relic from the past have a place in the modern day Halifax? Let’s find out…

    Thank you, this brought back some amazing memories of such a great stage of my life. As an 18 year old I moved to Halifax (sowerby bridge actually) in 1985 to play Rugby and came back for the next few winters. We spent many nights, mainly mid week, at the Acca. Halifax was a fantastic, fun town for us young Aussie blokes.

    A fake shitter included for dramatic effect. Almost styled out to be a de facto Montezuma's Revenge to go with the club.... And those curries looked particularly grand when contextualised. My Mum's from Halifax and my gran lived there all her life, so I would go there at least a couple of times a year until she died, and I've never ever been to the Acapulco. Now I feel like I've missed out on something.

    this documentary doesn't show the other side of balinese selling/leasing part of their land and build a guesthouse/restaurant on the remaining land.

    Super little creation with plenty of wit and quality stuff all mixed together. Never got to the Acapulco myself as my nightclub was Oakwood Hall in Bingley. Interesting that people mentioned the bouncers and the term violent, i used to know one of these lads years ago and he was a bodybuilder called Paul but better known by his nickname of Plug and by all accounts a bit useful if you were in a spot of trouble. He used to love Acapulco's with a vengeance.

    Brilliantly made documentary and great story. I'm happy that the club still exists today as unfortunately most town centres have lost their "Acca", but it was classic everyone outside saying about its a shithole, sticky carpets and dodgy bouncers, but soon as they are in, they have a whale of a time. (And people of all ages as well). I hope you do more documentaries like this, especially around subjects like this in Britain. It was also nice to see a brief overview of Halifax, unfortunately ive never been, and the closet I got was beating them in Football Manager when I was a kid!
