We began our Friday night on beautiful Pleasure Island<\/em> in Disney Springs<\/em>. Specifically, we began at The Edison Orlando<\/em> which is located where The<\/em> Adventurers Club<\/em> once stood.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Like you would expect at Walt Disney World<\/em>, The Edison<\/em> is highly themed throughout with a mix of steampunk and 1920’s\/30’s aura. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The Sound Society Radio<\/em> show was still in progress when we first arrived.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
But it was just concluding.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Between radio sets and taking us to 11PM, DJ Mynd (USA) was in the booth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He was playing a light House mix during our visit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Due to heavy rains earlier, not all that many in here but both downstairs bars were still jammed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A far cry from pre-covid when they used to clear the tables and chairs off the floor and turn this into a dance club. Not sure why Edison <\/em>management won’t bring this back but it wouldn’t surprise me if the Mouse <\/em>is somehow involved in the decision-making.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Directly across West End Plaza<\/em> from The Edison<\/em> is STK<\/em>. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
There were still some diners dining at this late hour.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
With DJ Marc Sparcs (USA) providing the background music.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Which was also a light House mix with some Top 40 hits. When STK <\/em>first opened the music was played LOUD but customer complaints led them to turn the volume way down the past few years.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We first met Marc Sparcs back in 2011 when he played in downtown Orlando at short-lived club Touch Ultralounge<\/em>. (Blog <\/em>archive photo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
While primarily a restaurant, STK <\/em>does have a bar scene.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Outside on the STK <\/em>patio, we spotted singer Robert Keele (USA) doing soft Rock ballads. This is new.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Next off to International Drive. We did not stop at Mango’s <\/em>but a reminder that their new second-floor Mango’s Ultralounge<\/em> opens tonight<\/strong> with headliner DJ Borgeous (USA). <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Next stop along International Drive, Icebar Orlando<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Where we walked into this<\/em>!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Ray Love (USA) was on the decks and on the mic.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The music a mix of mostly Top 40 hits and Hip Hop hits.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
There’s always a crowd at Icebar<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Icebar <\/em>has an actual frozen ice bar room. Admission includes use of a fur coat and an alcoholic drink served in a “glass” made of ice. Admission is cheaper if you purchase them in advance on their website here<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Yes, that’s all made of ice! While there is a charge to visit this frozen room, there is no cover charge to visit the dance club.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ had the dance floor bouncing!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Free parking behind the club. A good time was had by all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":29395,"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-29374","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\/08\/DSCN5489-scaled.jpg?fit=2560%2C1920&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7OlZE-7DM","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29374","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=29374"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29374\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29408,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29374\/revisions\/29408"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/29395"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=29374"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=29374"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.orlandoentertainmentnews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=29374"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
