The owners of the three-level venue announced it has shut down due to the lease expiring this month.
They hosted a "final farewell" party on Saturday, May 17.
Announcing the disappointing news on Facebook, staff wrote: "Amigos, after a decade of dancing it's time for one last party…
"With the fondest of memories yet the heaviest of hearts it's time to let our wonderful customers know that that our lease expires this month, meaning it's time to say goodbye (for the moment!).
"A wholehearted thank you to each and every person who poured their heart and energy into Mango over the years.
"Thank you to every team member, band and DJ past and present, who made Mango thrive.
"You created the energy, the atmosphere and most importantly the memories; and it's been wonderful growing together.
"To everyone who danced with us, sang with us, shared memories with us, thank you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We are so grateful for all the support and love you have shown us over the years - You have made this an unforgettable journey!"
Gutted revellers flocked to the comments to react to the announcement.
One wrote: "I have absolutely loved dancing in Mango over the years. Thank you to all the fabulous staff. I will miss you all."

A third added: "Thanks for the epic memories! Big hugs from the Canary Islands."
A fourth weighed in: "Noooo, that's sad."

Carnival Cruise Line bans handheld fans from the dance floor for ‘safety reasons'
Carnival Cruise Line has banned handheld fans from its onboard dance floors for 'safety reasons'. As of 1 June, 'Have Fun. Be Safe' guideline letters in cabins outline that Carnival passengers must fold away any non-battery powered fans on the dance floor. Those looking to cool off in ship nightclubs will no longer be allowed to wave wooden or paper fans as they enjoy resident DJs. The new handheld fans and beverages rules state: 'For safety reasons, handheld fans are not permitted in the nightclub or on any indoor dance floor. In addition, beverages are not allowed on any dance floor.' Battery-powered and electric fans are still allowed on board on and off of the dance floor, including in passenger cabins. John Heald, senior cruise director of Carnival Cruise Lines, confirmed in a comment on Facebook that the rules apply to 'the handheld fans, not the electric mini ones'. In a video on 4 June, Heald said: 'Are fans allowed on board? Yes, they are. We have not changed any rules regarding the fans that some of you like to have in your cabin – the electric fans no bigger than 12 inches. They are allowed, of course, if they are in good working order.' A spokesperson for Carnival Cruise Line said: 'We routinely share this letter with our guests through various touch points on each of our sailings. We updated the letter slightly ahead of the busy summer season, but it has been part of our standard communications across the fleet for more than two years. It reminds guests about some of the guidelines we have in place to support a safe, friendly, and fun environment on board.' It's not the first cruise line to ban specific items from coming on board. Passengers booking voyages on Saudi Arabia 's first cruise ship were warned last year not to bring scissors, CDs or 'magazines that violate public decency' on board. Those travelling on the Aroya vessel are expected to comply with a long list of banned 'dangerous goods, articles, and substances'. Among them are 'any substances that may affect mental health or similar items'. These include 'alcoholic beverages of all types'. Other items on the banned list are natural ivory, drones, fishing nets and 'sticks of all kinds and similar items, except those used for sanitary purposes such as toothbrushes'.

Jake Paul leaks ‘s***-talking' private messages with Anthony Joshua goading him about being KO'd as trash talk ramps up
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JAKE PAUL revealed he is goading Anthony Joshua about being knocked out - as their "s*** talking" ramps up behind the scenes. Paul audaciously called out the two-time heavyweight champion on his podcast earlier this year - vowing to knock Joshua out. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua having been goading each other via DMs 6 AJ also shared his phone call with Jake Paul earlier in the year 6 Jake Paul insists they're still friends despite the trash-talk 6 Daniel Dubois KO'd Joshua in September Credit: Getty It did not take long for AJ to quite literally call the prankster-turned-prizefighter's bluff by phoning him up - but Paul countered by suggesting a 2026 fight date. And Paul has now revealed the two are already goading each other privately over social media - as all's fair in love and war. He said: "It was all nice, we've been cordial. He DMd me today like saying "LOL" to one of my training clips and then I sent him a "LOL" of of him getting knocked out. "And so I guess like we're kind of s*** talking, behind the scenes a bit. But I have a lot of love for Anthony Joshua.

Joshua, 35, is yet to fight since being KO'd by Daniel Dubois, 27, at Wembley in September having undergone elbow surgery in May. Promoter Eddie Hearn revealed AJ hopes to return before the year is over - meanwhile Paul faces ex-middleweight world champ Julio Cesar Chavez Jr on June 28. It comes after he stepped up to heavyweight in November to face Mike Tyson - who controversially made a comeback aged 58. 6 CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Still over 100 MILLION tuned in to watch Paul's eight-round points win on Netflix - but it came at the cost of piling on TWO STONE. And Paul - who gorged on pasta, steaks and potatoes to bulk up - admitted the heavyweight jump was "brutal". Jake Paul reveals 'hefty' six-man hit-list of opponents for next fight including Anthony Joshua and world champ The 28-year-old added: "It was just too much and my body wasn't made for it and even when I got into the ring I just felt too fat. "So cruiserweight is definitely the perfect weight for me." Paul will come down from 16st 2lb to the 200lb cruiserweight limit of 14st 4lb to face Chavez in California. It followed after Canelo Alvarez, 34, pulled out of a shock deal to fight Paul in Las Vegas on May 3 - instead signing with Saudi Arabia's Turki Alalshikh. Canelo - who beat Chavez on points in 2017 - regained his undisputed super-middleweight titles with victory over William Scull in May. And now he defends the 168lb thrown in a September 13 super-fight against unbeaten American Terence Crawford, 37, as Paul was forced to look elsewhere. But he said: "Chavez and I have been going back and forth for a long time and he's always been a great opponent on the list of someone that I wanted to fight. "And now it made perfect sense to go up against him as a former world champion and just continuing to further my resume and get more time under the lights." Paul also revealed he is in talks to fight current cruiserweight champions Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez, 33, and Badou Jack, 41. And with Gervonta Davis, 30, also lined up for an exhibition bout - Paul says he is boxing's most desired man. He joked: I'm like like Megan Fox from Transformers movie like everyone wants me! So there's not enough time to do it all and it could make sense. Look, it might. "It might line up but at the end of the day, there's 100 people that want to fight me. I got Canelo, Gervonta, Anthony Joshua, Badou, Zurdo, Tommy Fury, KSI, the list keeps on going. "It's just about what makes sense and we'll see when the negotiations come but I would for sure entertain a fight with him." 6 Jake Paul faces Julio Cesar Chavez Jr next Credit: Reuters
