Club Reports: The Lodge, Chillers, Latitudes, Independent Bar, Aero Bar

It's been too long since we visited The Lodge, so that's where last night's journey began.
DJ Josh (USA) was in the booth.
And the music was 90's.
Only a few dancing to such tunes as the Backstreet Boys.
You feel like you're in an authentic hunting lodge when you're at The Lodge. Once the weather cools down they'll be running a videotape of a fireplace. It's still too warm right now.
Walls full of dead animals add to the authenticity. 
This place does get packed with dancers later in the evening!
It's also been awhile since we've dropped in on Chillers.
DJ Troy (USA) was in the perch here playing Hip Hop.
The venue's name comes from these machines dispensing slurpee-like alcoholic concoctions with names such as Purple Orgasm, Happy Ending and Viagara.
This place would typically be packed but Church Street seems pretty dead of late.
Up above Chillers is rooftop venue Latitudes. It's probably Orlando's oldest rooftop bar operating under the same name.
Here we found DJ Scott (USA) from 101.1WJRR in the booth playing Top 40.
It's a large venue and there was a decent crowd on hand.
No one was dancing during my visit but it was still kind of early.
They have a well-stocked bar.
Latitudes is home to Orlando's famous "Orange Drop" on New Years Eve.
You know by now if it's at all possible on a Saturday night, I'm going to try to make it to I-Bar!
Resident DJ KC Cuts (USA) was leading the festivities.
Good crowd in here dancing to 80's New Wave!
Spotted in the booth: DJ Dave Cannalte from Mannequins, DJ Cliff T from Aero & DJ Parry from The Patio.
Spotted in VIP: Doc John & his entourage.
The nice thing about dating a girl with an 'X' on her hand is you don't have to buy her drinks.
Fun times at I-Bar.
Because everyone loves the 80's!
Needing some House music so finishing out the night at Aero.
DJ Dominick Morrison (USA) turning the controls over to DJ Cliff T (USA).
Dance floor up here was packed!
Everybody shuffling!
As a rooftop bar open to the sky, you're literally "dancing with the stars".
The lasers were flying!
Fridays at Aero are more on the EDM side of House while Saturdays are more pure House.
Great music and a good time was had by all.
