TGIF! Friday is such a great day, it even has its own acronym. It's time to get ready for the weekend, which may include a night out on the town.

Clubs and bars and come and gone in Winnipeg throughout the years, and today we have two archival videos all about the city's night life.

In the first report, CBC reporter John Drabble examines Winnipeg's nightclub, cabaret and lounge scene in January 1985, featuring new (at the time) and old establishments alike. Of course, you can't miss the '80s dance moves, wardrobes and hair styles!

The second video takes us further back in time to 1963, with images of clubs and other venues from the era.

By the way, if you haven't made plans for tonight yet, be sure to read 5 things to do in Winnipeg this weekend, where you can always find some great ideas.
