Their is no nitelife in Hamilton. Even in the 90s 2000s there was at least 5 clubs to go downtown. Now we go to Dragonfly in the Falls or many clubs in Burlington. I don't believe you are close to revitilizaion downtown. It still sucks... for 30 years.

Been going out in downtown Hamilton for over a decade.
Started off at Hess village, the usual Gown and Gavel, Sizzle, Ora, Blu.
While in university did the whole 77/ Dirty Dogs scene.
As I grew up moved on to Augusta, big fan of Radius, Plucker and Galaghers. Absinthe still great for Motown on Wednesdays.
Hess, Augusta James st. still very much packed in the summer. If i'm feeling adventurous ill stop by Liquid Kitty. Feel like some drinks and ping pong I'll head to serve. Something a little quieter I'll grab drinks at Nique or Brux House on Locke.
Been to dragon fly many a times. It was great when it opened 15 years ago. It's past its prime, over priced bottle service, interior hasn't been revamped since its opening.
I don't think a downtown needs an abundance of "clubs" to make the downtown announce its comeback. Last thing we need is a Rebel or Guv in downtown Hamilton where more pills are popped than drinks served. Heck if thats somones thing, 77 fits the bill.
It appears we have differing views. You say in the 90s and early 2000's the downtown had all these great "clubs." Thing is they would have been dead during the day. Now we have patios, bars, pubs that have nightlife but aren't completely dead during the day. Much rather have what we have today. Also the amount of people with disposable income living downtown has increased dramatically compared to 15 years ago. More amenities will come to serve them.
