Club Reports: Stonewall, McQueens, MamaJuana

Friday night in the city and wide-awake from jet lag, it was time to get back into the groove. First visit ever to Stonewall, the off-the-beaten-path venue located on Church Street but way over near the Orlando City Lions Exploria Stadium.

The venue contains three areas of music and we found DJ Dave Cannalte (USA) in the booth of the main room.

The music last night was Industrial / Alternative but included a lot of 80's you'd hear at Independent Bar on Saturday nights. The main room reminded me completely of I-Bar.

Out back on the patio we found this interesting DJ booth.

And DJ Tommy Mot (USA).

Tag-teaming with the far-prettier DJ Amaryllis (USA).

The music outside was also Industrial / Alternative. The bar out here was busy.....but the dance floor was not.

Stonewall being in an industrial area of town, the neighbor's trucks were parked nearby.

Upstairs was a third area of music. Whoops, nothing for me here!

Back in the main room, DJ Smilin' Dan (USA) had taken over.

Even the DJ booth reminded me of I-Bar, complete with dangling cords, pipes and dim lighting.

As did the wall of video monitors. Very cool place!

McQueens is located directly above Bullitt Bar, a venue themed after the 1968 film of the same name. It starred actor Steve McQueen.

DJ Heat (USA) was putting out the Hip Hop.

But there weren't a lot of people here to hear it. Maybe they'll discover that House music draws a larger crowd.

The decor here is amazing though, like this wall of skulls.

And I'm pretty sure this is the always-decor, not just for Halloween.

There's even some hoops!

First it was Vinyl Arts Bar, then Vinyl Rum & Tapas Lounge and now MamaJuana.

DJ Marcos Catena (RA/USA) had just taken over from DJ Fobia (USA).

Great House music had a small contingent on the dance floor.

Including Helena & Christa!

The renovations that took place with the name change is the removal of a wall that separated the main room dance floor from the bar area. They now flow into each other.

The new name comes from the strong Dominican liquor Mamajuana, spotted aging in those brown bottles up on the shelf!

DJ Castillo (USA) taking over late.

House music all night long!

And a good time was had by all.
