PARTY people across Perth are in grieving after Ambar Nightclub announced it would close its doors after almost 20 years in operation.

Ambar Nightclub will be remembered by an entire generation as the place where electronic music fans wasted away many hours of the night before stumbling into the early morning daylight.

A Facebook post by owner Liam Mazzucchelli announced the news this morning and the reaction online was instantaneous.

Mr Mazzucchelli said in the post that it was with “heavy hearts but clear minds” that the decision had been made to close the nightclub on July 7.

“Ambar has impacted on many lives over the past two decades. The fabric of the extremely tight-knit community has forged lifelong friendships. Careers have been launched. Ambar has hosted hundreds of national and international acts as well as winning dozens of awards,” the post said.
