You need their permission to use their photos. Otherwise, you would be infringing on their copyright. This is true, even though those photos are on the website for the restaurants and clubs that you feature.

You do not necessarily need the permission of these establishments to mention them on your site. You must be careful, however, to not post any defamatory information about them. You also may not simply copy text from their site and place it on your own.
