Like someone said, it was more bars than "clubs" for me. Early 80s to 1990s:

New Orleans:
Napoleon House in da Quarter, Carrollton Station, Café Banquette, Molly's at the Market (in the FQ), Da F&M Patio Bar (big hangout), The Boot and whatever the name was of the place on the corner of Freret and Broadway (it's now The Palms), Melius (in the quarter), AT2's, Brunos, TJ Quills, Phillips, Andy Capp's, Spider's Web out by UNO, Pat O'Brien's, Flamingo's, Shanahan's, Nick's Big Train, Parkway, Par 4's, Cooter Brown's, The Bulldog, Augie's Delago on the lake... in the mid 90s, used to get off work and go have a few drinks with co-workers catty-corner from our office, at Michael's Mid-City Grill.

Metairie:
For a few years we hung out A LOT at the Red Bastille (the original little hole in the wall on Harvard Avenue). In the 1990s when we were all getting married and before anyone had kids, we frickin' LIVED at Bandi's Tavern (now Winston's Pub). We drank so much beer they sponsored us for a men's basketball league (paid our entry fees) and we played as "The Evil Clowns of Bandi's". We also went to Pat Gillen's before it closed. Never was into the Fat City scene.

Jed's, Jimmy's, Tipitina's, Deja Vu, the Dream Palace and upstairs at Andy Capp's were our spots to see live music.

Used to go to The Rainforest on top of the Hilton for the $5 "Sippin' into Sunset" happy hour on Fridays.

These plus the Maple Leaf Bar. Occasionally hit the gay bars with my queer friends before the plague decimated that scene.
