\"\"
Located downtown along Orange Avenue, Aura Night Club<\/em> is a new venue in the upstairs spot which previously held The Woods<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
All the seating booths which were once here have been replaced with a DJ booth, VIP tables and a dance floor. This was never a DJ\/Music\/Dance venue so the sound system is all new and sounds great.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We didn’t recognize the DJ but he was playing a pretty good EDM mix.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The old wooden bar that was here for The Woods<\/em> is still here. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Blog <\/em>file photo from 2015 showing the same wooden bar.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
These two DJ’s would take over shortly thereafter but switch the music to mostly Heavy Bass.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A crowd was slowly arriving and the dance floor was seeing activity. The headliner was going to be DJ Hadegaard (DK) but when the two DJ’s put on a Dubstep mashup of Chase & Status (GB) DnB hit “Backbone”, we knew we needed to get the heck out of there.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The upstairs section of Pointe Orlando<\/em> along International Drive has been rebranded as Live! At The Pointe <\/em>and is now jammed with night clubs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We began our visit at Sports & Social<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Located where B.B. Kings Blues Club<\/em> once operated, it’s been heavily renovated and looks great.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
As the venue’s name would indicate, it’s a sports bar (and restaurant). Last night you could watch a Major League Baseball<\/em> playoff game and the FSU-Duke <\/em>football game.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Tony Z (USA) was controlling the action as well as playing music between sports shows.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
During our first visit during opening weekend at Live!<\/em>, a DJ was playing on this stage but as you can see, they have live bands here too at times.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We first met Tony Z years ago when he was a resident DJ at Atlantic Dance Hall<\/em> at Walt Disney World<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Last night, the S&S<\/em> front bar was pretty busy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
While the main bar downstairs was not. Many of the dining tables were busy though.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
First visit to Shark Bar<\/em>. It was not open for business yet during our opening weekend visit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
There is one outside bar. This venue was previously Adobe Gila’s<\/em> but they, like nearly everything in the upstairs section of Pointe Orlando,<\/em> closed years ago.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
There are two inside bars too.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Here we found DJ Kevin Eman (USA) in the booth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The music was mostly Top 40 and EDM last night. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Large dance floor in the club.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And they have a shiny disco ball so you know they’re legit. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Next door in the former Hooters <\/em>spot is Houndsmen Lounge<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The interior is a beautiful wood-dominated room with lots of booths for chit chat and having a drink.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ J-Quezt (USA) was in the booth playing light EDM and Top 40. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We’re not really sure the niche that Houndsmen <\/em>is trying to fill but it is a beautiful room.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
So many new clubs here at Live!<\/em> but the one that has generated the most buzz is this one that hasn’t even opened yet. Located downstairs next to Cuba Libre<\/em>, this is the future home of Palm Tree Club<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It was supposed to open this weekend with DJ duo Forester (USA), but it still has a long way to go. Owned by DJ Kygo (N), this will be a top notch upscale club with big name touring DJ’s playing!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Sigala (GB) is supposed to play here November 1st and DJ Frank Walker (CDN) on December 20th but construction has a long way to go. We’ll keep you updated.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Greek restaurant Opa <\/em>is still here where a DJ plays Greek music and Top 40.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And there was no need to visit the new PBR Cowboy Bar<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Located on Magnolia Avenue at Park Lake Street in uptown, Oliv Bar<\/em> is a small place with a big vibe.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It’s one modern room surrounded by glass. And every second Friday night they have House sessions.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
In the booth, delivering the goods, DJ Dani Orieta (BOL\/USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
House music, all night long.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted tending: Amber. They have a full liquor bar here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted on the dance floor: Leticia with friend.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The next bi-weekly session will be on November 1st so come check this place out!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We try to spread-out our club visits to numerous venues to keep things interesting but when there’s a place with so many consistently great events such as Iron Cow<\/em>, we keep coming back!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
But first we had to get past Door Hostess Stephanie. She scrutinized my ticket over-and-over again but finally approved me to enter…..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And we walked into this!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Iron Cow<\/em> resident DJ Lola B (USA) was in the booth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
House music, of course!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Her set had the dance floor bouncing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
But there was still room!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Iron Cow<\/em> has a shiny disco ball so you know the place is legit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And then, there he was, visiting with Luis Evans from Vizion1<\/em>, the headliner…..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Jody Wisternoff (GB)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He would continue the vibe for the now-jammed dance floor!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Always a great night when this guy plays Orlando!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted on stage: Luis joined by the last night’s opener DJ Freeda Sol (USA) and DJ Lola B.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted at the front entrance: Go Go girl Peggy gone Mod. You can never go wrong with Go Go girls.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted on the dance floor: DJ Freeda Sol with her main squeeze Justus. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Spotted in VIP: Jennifer, Ashley & Kriss<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We last saw Jody Wisternoff back in 2022 when he played atop Amway Center<\/em>‘s open-air Skylounge<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Dance floor had gotten wall-to-wall. The next big Vizion1 <\/em>event takes place next Saturday, October 26th at the brand new Kali Ultra Lounge<\/em> upstairs at Mangos <\/em>ft. the legendary DJ Paul Oakenfold (GB). Tickets<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Everywhere we went last night, a good time was had by all.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
