Orange Rooms has been a vibrant hub of Southampton's nightlife for more than two decades.

With its distinctive retro aesthetic and eclectic music scene, it has solidified its place as a beloved institution for locals and visitors alike.

Opened in 2001 by Southampton native Gary Bennetton, Orange Rooms initially leaned more towards being a bar than a full-fledged nightclub. 

Bennetton, driven by a passion for music and entertainment, gradually transformed the venue into the bustling hotspot it is today.

Over the years, Orange Rooms expanded its footprint and reputation, becoming synonymous with Southampton's nightlife. 

The venue's unique retro-inspired decor, featuring bold patterns, vibrant colours, and Instagrammable backdrops, has become a hallmark of its identity. This distinctive style contributes to the lively and energetic atmosphere that draws in crowds.

Orange Rooms has consistently offered a diverse range of events, catering to a variety of tastes. 

From live music performances and DJ sets spanning various genres to themed parties and cocktail masterclasses, there's something to suit every preference. This commitment to variety has ensured its enduring popularity.

Throughout its history, Orange Rooms has hosted numerous memorable events. 

A standout was its 15th-anniversary celebration, featuring a Vegas theme that transformed the venue into a gambler's paradise.

The club has also hosted a dance weekender showcasing prominent names in Drum and Bass, further solidifying its reputation as a key player in the city's music scene.

But before that came the fifth anniversary - when these pictures were snapped.

Even after two decades, Orange Rooms continues to thrive. Its ability to adapt and cater to evolving trends while retaining its unique character has been key to its longevity. 

Today, it remains a popular destination for those seeking after-work drinks, high-energy weekend parties, and everything in between.

Orange Rooms is a vibrant venue that embraces its community and provides a space for creating lasting memories.

As Southampton's nightlife continues to evolve, Orange Rooms remains a constant, offering a familiar and welcoming space.
