Morphology

clubber = club (transparent) = club + er

The meaning is readily recoverable as a person who goes to clubs, which is a normal agentive use of '-er'.

Etymology

Clubber comes from club plus the ending -er, where club can mean a place with music and dancing and -er means 'one who'. So a clubber is 'one who often goes to nightclubs to dance or meet people'.
