We began our Friday night at Kala Rooftop Lounge<\/em> located atop the brand new Cambria Hotel <\/em>just off International Drive.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The first thing you notice is this zero-edge infinity pool that occupies a lot of the rooftop. The club’s railing offers spectacular views of I-Drive, Volcano Bay<\/em> and Universal Studios Florida<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We found DJ Dan Orlando (CDN\/USA) in the booth tucked into one of the corners.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
There were a few on the pool deck dancing to the music.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The fully-stocked bar is located in an opposite corner.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Any venue that has this kind of philosophy is going to do well.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The music was almost all 90’s & 00’s Classic Dance hits.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This operates from 7PM to Midnight every Friday night so come check it out as it offers a great vibe to begin your night out. Big thanks to Blog <\/em>reader Frank who alerted us to this brand new place.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Rumors of the demise of Red Coconut Club<\/em> were apparently premature. Located at Universal CityWalk<\/em>, it had closed during Covid and then only reopened for special events. But in the past year we’ve seen them reopen for a few weeks at a time as a themed holiday club such as Dead Coconut Club<\/a><\/em> during Halloween and Cursed Coconut Club<\/a><\/em> over Mardi Gras. But they’re apparently back!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We arrived close to 11PM to find DJ FRNKROK (USA) in the booth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He had a contingent on the dance floor for the typical RCC <\/em>music format of old and new Top 40 hits.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And then on the stage around 11:15PM, there he was, the headliner…..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Chino (USA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He would continue the same music format as the dance floor filled-up.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It’s great to see CityWalk <\/em>with a real dance club again!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Chino was previously the Friday night resident DJ at The Groove, CityWalk<\/em>‘s main dance club. But they never reopened post-Covid and it was sadly turned into an escape room<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
From the Blog <\/em>archives as shown above, DJ Chino in booth at The Groove<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Chino will be playing here at Red Coconut Club<\/em> on Fridays, at least for the summer. DJ Poproxxx (USA) will be here on Saturday nights.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
So come check it out! Admission and parking are FREE.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
OK, next over to the Milk District<\/em> and the Iron Cow<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We stepped inside and were greeted by Door Hostess Stephanie. Despite her apparently sweet demeanor, don’t try to sneak-in without paying because she will pounce on your ass.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We walked into THIS!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Resident DJ Lola B (USA) was on the decks when we arrived.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
House music was the order of the evening.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
She had been alternating with resident DJ Atnarko (USA) but we sadly had missed his set.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The bar was packed!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The dance floor was packed!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And then on the stage around 12:30AM, there he was, the headliner…..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Miguel Migs (USA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He would play a mix of both vocal and nonvocal House.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
From the Blog <\/em>archives as shown above, we had last seen Miguel Migs play 10-years ago in Bangkok, Thailand. When I mentioned this to him earlier before his set, he responded that he definitely remembered that night and it took place at Q-Bar<\/em> Bangkok<\/em>. OMG, out of hundreds of club nights he’s performed at since then, he even remembered the club name!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We ran into lots of peeps in the club; some we knew and some we didn’t.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Miguel Migs had the club bouncing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Upcoming shows here at IC<\/em> include Jay Tripwire (CDN) on June 16th and Quivver (GB) on June 17th. Wow!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Everywhere we went last night but especially here at the Iron Cow<\/em>, a good time was had by all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":22397,"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-22368","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\/2023\/06\/DSCN0059-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1920&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7OlZE-5OM","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22368","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=22368"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22368\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22417,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22368\/revisions\/22417"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/22397"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=22368"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=22368"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=22368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
