Saturday night in beautiful DTO!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We began our evening at AC Sky Bar <\/em>located on the 17th floor of the AC Hotel by Marriott.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Up arrival on 17, you enter a large room with the hotel’s Reception Desk located at one end.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And this jammed bar at the other end.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
In between, plenty of inviting seating with waitresses taking your drink orders.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Outside on the terrace, another jammed bar.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And another upscale seating area. If you arrive after 10PM, you may experience a wait for seating after getting off the lifts. AC Sky Bar<\/em> remains very popular and admission is FREE.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Oh, and the views of Interstate 4 and Kia Center<\/em>, home of the Orlando Magic NBA<\/em> team, are top notch.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Most people know it as Suite B Lounge<\/em> or Peek Downtown<\/em> but new ownership has reopened our old downtown favorite as The Arena Art Bar<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Those two large pillars are still there.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Our favorite bar is still there too along with those rear wall lighted cut-outs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Upon arrival, we found DJ Ms. MF (USA) on the decks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Her set was mostly House with some House remixes of old Hip Hop songs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A bit later, DJ Alpha (USA) took over the controls.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Her set was mostly House during our visit. We’re still working on a Suite B Reunion<\/em> show to take place here later this summer so stay tuned!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted at the Box Office: DJ Greywolf (USA), DJ Nelly Fre$h (USA) and DJ Solstice (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Final stop, downtown favorite, Elixir Bar<\/em>. Why do we keep going here? Because promoters keep booking world-class DJ’s here which you can see without the claustrophobia of those “big room” clubs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Arriving close to midnight, we walked into this outside on their famous dance patio.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Jesse James (USA) was still playing House upon our arrival.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
But just a few minutes later, there they were, the headliners…..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ duo Cocodrills (USA)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We first experienced Cocodrills when they played at EDC-Orlando<\/em> back in 2016. While approaching the Press entrance to EDC<\/em>, we heard this amazing House set emanating from the southeast corner of the grounds. Home to the neonGARDEN <\/em>stage in a large tent that year, we immediately went there and discovered Cocodrills.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Miami-based Cocodrills has played here at Elixir <\/em>at least a dozen times over the years but they’ve also played at Celine <\/em>and Vyce Lounge<\/em> and back in the day, even at Senso Supper Club<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
They brought some interesting equipment with them last night which they swapped-out on the fly.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Everywhere we went last night, a good time was had by all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":27452,"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-27425","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\/2024\/04\/DSCN3322-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1920&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7OlZE-78l","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27425","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=27425"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27425\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27457,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27425\/revisions\/27457"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/27452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=27425"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=27425"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=27425"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
