Wtf . Is there a closing date or anything or is it just not reopening. So sad if there's no more. Not that I'm a regular anymore but I did go there quite often many years ago when Glenn Brierley was a resident DJ 

The Monaco is one of the last iconic venues   New year's eve 2019 /2020 was a absolutely fantastic night.

That’s sad to hear and, for me, it means two local venues have now closed. Monaco and Orrell St James’s.

Steve I'm sure that you will still be able to call by and stand in the doorway reliving old memories ... 

Be a struggle to do the same at Winsford, Bretby & Willington seeing as they knocked the buildings down but I am sure they will leave the Monaco intact. x
