Nouveau Casino in Paris ,france is a nice club too but fancy, drinks are expensive .
I saw Billy Childish and the buff medways in 2003 there , 2 hours of pure joy !
The old 9:30 Club in Washington DC, Empty Bottle and the Hideout in Chicago.
Not a club,but an ex-cinema...the legendary Glasgow Apollo,formerly Green's Playhouse...sadly now torn down.Saw my first big rock'n'roll show there - Lou Reed supported by Ducks Deluxe.Saw Captain Beefheart there too.
I like the Bowery Electric in NYC, along with the Beachland Ballroom in Cleveland, OH, and Skully's in Columbus, OH. Here in Pittsburgh, I like the 31st Street Pub and Gooski's.
I like the Bowery Electric because it's just a couple doors down from where CBGB used to be, and it has something of a CBGB vibe.
I saw two of the three Rolling Rock tours at the Beachland Ballroom, and I saw Manda and the Marbles during their CD release party for "Angels with Dirty Faces" at Skully's (One of my all time favorite gigs). I also saw MATM for the last time at Skully's.
I like the Pub because it is like a home grown version of CBGB, without any of the history or prestige. Gooski's has a great jukebox, full of garage, glam, punk, and post punk bands.
