Club Reports: PI Street Party, STK, The Edison, Atlantic Dance Hall

We don't often visit Pleasure Island anymore on a Saturday night like we used to back in the day. But let's cross this bridge one more time to check out what's on the other side!
The Island's Waterview Stage is home to a street party every Friday and Saturday night.
Last night we found DJ G Swagg (USA) running the show!
It's an all-ages Dance party so you never know what you'll find!
The music is old and new Top 40 hits.
Showing everyone how it's done!
It's always a fun time for the largely tourist crowd. Waterview Stage is located in the area where Rock'n'Roll Beach Club used to be.
Up at the top of Hill Street is the steak house STK.
Here we found DJ Marc Sparcs (USA) on the decks.
This is primarily a restaurant with the music providing a background.
But the bar scene is active too and while it was kind of subdued during my visit, I've seen some craziness in here too! STK is located where Comedy Warehouse once stood.
Across West End Plaza from STK you'll find The Edison.
Located in a heavily-renovated building that once housed the Adventurers Club, it's a restaurant during the day but becomes more of a dance club late at night.
The house band "Pearl Street Players" were on when I first arrived.
The venue's theme is roaring 20's so a lot of the ladies like to dress in Flapper style but it's not required. But it tends to be upscale and I felt a bit out-of-place in a t-shirt.
Between sets and after the band ends for the evening, DJ Mynd (USA) takes over!
The music is primarily Top 40 but he mixes in a little Latin and
EDM hits!
Guys, it was about 75% female last night and that's not unusual!
It ain't the Pleasure Island as we knew it but you can definitely have a fun time here!
OK, leaving Disney Springs and heading a few miles west to Disney's Boardwalk Resort.
It's home to Disney's only remaining owned and operated dance club, Atlantic Dance Hall.
DJ Willie (USA) on a Saturday night!
And oh wow, it was actually crowded in here!
ADH is so cavernous that it's hard to seem full, but it really did last night!
The Top 40 video format had everyone bouncing!
The DJ booth has been moved back off the stage to the rear of the dance floor near the main bar.
Atlantic Dance Hall is open nightly except Sundays & Mondays and admission is free.
A good time was had by all.
