Bosses behind a town’s only nightclub say they have “no plans on closing any time soon” despite rumours it is set to shut.

Party Bar in Tontine Street is Folkestone’s last remaining nightclub and is a stone’s throw away from the Harbour Arm.

Claims the nightspot is closing have been flying around but bosses behind the venue say there is no truth to the gossip.

A spokesperson for Party Bar said: “These rumours seem to re-surface every couple of months or so (and have done for the last 10 years).

“We’ve no plans on closing anytime soon.”

Clubbers still flock to the venue for a night out each weekend, but it hasn't always flown solo in the town.

The Leas Club closed its doors in 2008, and the building left vacant by Onyx’s, also known as The Priz, burned down in March 2016.

Tontine Street was also home to Pipers which was known as Mick's Flamenco Bar in the 60s.

Luben’s Pizza now fills the unit in Rendezvous Street which was formerly Stones Bar.

Party Bar used to have a second branch in Dover but this closed down and became Attic Bar and Nightclub in 2021.

The Funky Monkey, also in Dover, closed its doors last December after 16 years.

Work to demolish the former night spot started in August as part of Dover District Council’s (DDC) ambitious plans to transform Bank Street.

Much of the funding for the multimillion-pound project is coming from central government levelling up money.
