Liverpool was once home to a nightclub loved in the 1990s for its DJ sets, foam parties and live music.
Paradox in Aintree attracted thousands of Merseyside clubbers every week from its opening in 1991 until its closure in 2001. As well as hosting famous singers and bands, the nightclub had numerous themed nights, including ABBA parties and a James Bond lookalike contest.
The ECHO recently wrote an article about Paradox and many of you got in touch to share your “great memories” of the club. Hundreds of you commented underneath the original article on our Facebook page, reminiscing about why Paradox was the “best nightclub ever”.

Leanne said: “I remember going to the foam party, I was wearing a brand new leather jacket, it didn't do it much good!” Chris simply added: “Best nightclub ever.”
Pamela recalled the club’s weekly over 25s night. She commented: “Used to love the Wednesday over 25s night. Remember seeing Robbie Williams in there with the Liverpool footy players when he had just left Take That.”
Diane wrote: “Imagine anyone queuing for an hour to get into a club on a Wednesday night these days!!! How did we ever get up for work the next day?!?!” Barbara added: “Enjoyed plenty of good nights there, such a shame it closed.”

Some people got in touch to say they still reference the nightclub now. Sharron wrote: “When my kids have their music too loud, I'll say ‘aye aye, do you think you're DJ-ing at the Paradox?’ I'm always met with blank looks, but at least I know what I'm on about.”
Neil said: “The lost generation of nightclubs. Best days of my life without a doubt. Then off to the Asda for an all night brekkie!”
