The venue opened in December 2002, with none of the original interior remaining. The club faced a temporary closure in October 2005 after losing its late-night drinks license, following a dossier of alleged violence presented by Blackpool Police. Magistrates revoked the license for alcohol sales after 11:00 pm. The club reopened on 26 November after agreeing to withdraw their application for a new 4 am license. Following the refusal of a 4 am license, the Syndicate closed in January 2006. It was acquired by national operator Nexum Leisure in May 2006, which carried out a \u00a31 million refurbishment. The venue introduced a weekly Polish Night (Polska Noc) starting June 2007, catering to the resort&#8217;s Polish and Eastern European community.<\/p>\n<p>On 7 September 2008, John Robb, vocalist of the punk rock band Goldblade and co-founder of The Membranes, hosted a special event titled &#8220;A Celebration of Music, Fashion &amp; Football 1975\u20131995&#8221; at the Syndicate. The event featured guest speakers Andy Nicholls, Shane Meadows, and former Inspiral Carpets musician Clint Boon. The Syndicate also hosted a boxing event on 14 September 2008, featuring American former world heavyweight champion Tim Witherspoon and a match between Eric &#8220;Butterbean&#8221; Esch and Mark Potter for the European Boxing Federation Heavyweight title. The nightclub closed permanently on 10 August 2011, announcing the closure on Facebook.
