The fire service said firefighters remain at the scene but the number of engines has been reduced to four.
One eyewitness, who did not want to be named, said she was in a The Cavern pub opposite the club when the fire broke out.
“Next minute there’s smoke coming in through the main window, coming through the door,” she said.
“People were running everywhere.”
She said two of her friends were inside the club at the time.
“The police wouldn’t let us come out of The Cavern while [emergency services] were working on two of our mates on the floor. I just hope they’re alright.”
