Mirage

Probable

A nightclub at the Sovereign Centre in Liguanea, reputedly the largest in the English-speaking Caribbean during its brief run: the whole basement given over to seven bars, an arcade, restaurants, grottos and a VIP lounge, with television screens set into the floor at the entrance. It closed quickly, poor management cited as the reason.

The video for Richie Stephens and Bounty Killer's remake of "Maniac" was shot there, and it appears in a 1995 photo set with Ninja Man and Beenie Man performing.

Story · Well supportedJamaica's nightclub circuit

Not every Jamaican dance happened under the sky. From 1930s society clubs to Portmore's dancehall rooms, some of it happened behind a cover charge, a bar and a roof.
