We began our Saturday night at Lake Eola Park<\/em> where the famous water fountain is now sporting Christmas colors. The 1.4km paved sidewalk that circles the park is now all lit-up with holiday lights as well. If you’re looking for something to do to “get out of the house”, Lake Eola is a great destination.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
There’s more than two dozen bars and restaurants in the “Lake Eola District” area of downtown, that upscale area to the east of Rosalind Avenue. While making a partial circle on the lake’s pathway, we spotted Aku Aku Tiki Bar<\/em> along Washington Street adjacent World of Beer. <\/em>It was our first visit ever!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Smilin’ Dan (USA) had sadly just finished an early Disco set outdoors on their patio. You can find him here every Friday and Saturday evening but only till 10PM.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Inside, the decor ranging from the bar to lamps to the drink cups are, as you would expect, heavily themed South Pacific.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This Tiki can be found in one of the corners. Orlando has several South Pacific-themed bars including Aloha Beautiful<\/a><\/em> on Pine Street downtown and the heavily-themed Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto<\/a><\/em> at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort<\/em> in Bay Lake.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The southeast corner of Lake Eola Park<\/em> is home to the Walt Disney Amphitheater<\/em>, the park’s outside concert venue. And across Rosalind Avenue from the amphitheater is B.Nice Patio Bar<\/em> where we dropped by for a drink. Another first visit for us!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Here we found DJ 5th-Dimension (USA) playing mostly light House music from his outdoor perch. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The venue is completely outdoors, although covered. One of the most popular nights here is “Wiggle Wednesdays” when you never know who might drop-by to spin. A few weeks ago we heard Portland-based DJ Foxforce005 (USA) had played here!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
You know the place is legit because they have a shiny disco ball over the dance floor! Come check it out. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Oh, while we were in the city last night we caught a credible rumor of a new DJ Icey (USA) \/ DJ Baby Anne (USA) show happening next month<\/span> downtown! It should be announced pretty soon. Hearing that news plus visiting these new venues assured that a good time was had by all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19610,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1899],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-club-reports"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DSCN8314-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1920&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7OlZE-567","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=19599"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19599\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19614,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19599\/revisions\/19614"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/19610"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=19599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=19599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=19599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
