\"\"
Wall Street in Orlando is a short little street with one nondescript section running between Rosalind Avenue and Magnolia Avenue and then another more-famous section that runs between Court Street and Orange Avenue.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And it’s that latter section that is permanently closed to vehicular traffic and home to Wall Street Plaza<\/em>, a collection of bars and nightclubs that are marketed together for concerts and other events. But even the most casual observer could not have failed to notice that the post-covid19 crowds of years-past have simply not returned so something needed to be done. And that something was the sale of the clubs and buildings on the south side of the street <\/a>(on the right of this picture) to the ownership group of Gilt Concert Venue<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The three venues on the north side of the street (left side of above photo) are not impacted. Hooch <\/em>(formerly Globe<\/em>) remains as a venue with a large bar, no dance floor to speak of and a DJ in the far corner.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Prohibition and steampunk-themed Shine <\/em>remains as the street’s only real DJ dance club. It replaced Slingapour’s<\/em> about 8 years ago.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And bordello-themed Hen House<\/em> continues to operate a small but popular bar.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Now to the south side of the street, part of the sale, where this building currently houses two venues.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Waitiki Lounge<\/em> continues downstairs while…..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Blog<\/em>-favorite Monkey Bar<\/em> continues upstairs. We’ve not heard what will become of either place but a huge patio and huge balcony give the new owners potential to make use of the space in a different way. We suspect this will be down the road since there are more important locations to rehab first.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Apparently not included in the sale to Gilt <\/em>is this building which is separately owned.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Long home to The Other Bar<\/em>, it was renamed Kevin O’Ryans The Other Irish Bar<\/em> shortly before the covid19 closures hit and it continues to operate independently today.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This is the building at the corner of Wall Street Plaza<\/em> facing the heart of downtown along Orange Avenue.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Home to Wall Street Cantina<\/em>, it’s a long-operating and popular bar that is always jammed at night. Its prime location foretells that whatever the new owners plan to do, this venue will figure prominently. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Lastly, carnival-themed Sideshow <\/em>was part of the sale to Gilt <\/em>and it has already closed for renovations. I don’t think the place ever figured out what their niche was supposed to be. It was certainly a bar but sometimes they had a DJ playing but often not and there was no real dance floor. New ownership will change that. And facing Orange Avenue directly, it has an important role.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
You may recall that Sideshow <\/em>was once two separate venues that were combined. It was originally One Eyed Jack’s<\/em>….. (Blog <\/em>File Photo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
…..and Loaded Hog<\/em>. (Blog <\/em>File Photo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
With Orlando Business Journal<\/a> reporting the rumored sale of the current Gilt Concert Venue<\/em> space and land to the Modera Baldwin Park<\/em> apartment complex, it makes sense that this building could become the new Gilt <\/em>or whatever name they end-up choosing. Expect high quality lighting and sound and world-class DJ’s playing right here at Wall Street Plaza<\/em>!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n
