After several weekends covering clubs in the northern suburbs, Mills\/50, International Drive and Walt Disney World<\/em>, it was great to begin our evening back in DTO. We started with a brief visit to new club Rodeo All-American Bar<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
This is not our first Rodeo <\/em>(visit). We had visited once before. This venue was previously Hooch <\/em>and Globe <\/em>before that but other than the name change and a switch to Country music, not a whole lot was done with the room. The DJ booth is all the way in the back but whoever was playing last night was still plugging-in his gear so a pre-recorded track was playing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Also no changes to the two portals which connect this to the club next door.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Which most-recently was called Shine <\/em>and Slingapours <\/em>before that and is now the peculiarly-named Rivals Activity Bar<\/em>. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
As Shine<\/em>, the DJ booth was located up there in the corner and they used to get some crowds on the dance floor for Top 40 music.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Now this is a game room.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
No music, just sports. One can see that a bare minimum of expense was paid in converting this place.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The bar may have been redone; not sure. Sad to see Wall Street Plaza<\/em>‘s only “real” dance club is no more.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Heading down Orange Avenue, we next visited Pretty Please<\/em>, another new venue which opened this past June.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It’s a long, narrow venue and we walked into this.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Rup (USA) was in the booth when we arrived.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The music format at Pretty Please<\/em> is various types of House.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The bar was jammed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
There’s a mountain towards the rear of the club with an actual waterfall.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted along the wall: DJ Chino (USA) with DJ Girl Grammar (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Next stop, The Arena Art Bar<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It’s called an “art bar” because there’s always a fresh batch of art on the walls. Currently, a lot of Halloween-themed art. It’s all for sale too.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
No one was dancing during our visit but the bar was absolutely jammed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Blend (USA) was in the booth during our visit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
House music, of course!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Arena Art Bar<\/em> is one of the few places downtown where you can purchase a bag of dicks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

\"\"
We next departed the downtown area for uptown and The Hammered Lamb<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
But first we had to get past the Door Hostess and the Bouncer man.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Once inside, we walked into this!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Catching the tail-end of a birthday set from DJ Amber Jane (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Time for one more! Barbarella <\/em>used to be downtown. Barbarella 2.0<\/em> was in an industrial park off John Young Parkway. And now Barbarella 3.0<\/em> is in Winter Park in this building housing The Axe Trap<\/em>. And you’ll only find it on Saturday nights.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As we arrived after 1AM the dance floor had thinned-out a bit but it was hardly empty either. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We found DJ Rob Bates (USA) in the booth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The music, every Saturday of course, 80’s New Wave and Alternative.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
