It’s been awhile since I visited downtown Orlando. Once again I intended to visit some new venues but the same places keep drawing me back. Although as you can see above, Wall Street began their St. Patrick’s Day celebrations early with a live band and the conversion of Wall Street Cantina to Old Irish Pub!

Tabu Night Club was wall-to-wall people as you can see above. DJ Richie Rich played his video mix of mostly Hip Hop and Top 40. Entry is free up until 11pm but the lines to get in were long even at midnight. Richie Rich breaks out the House music CD's tonight though as he guest stars with DJ Sandy at House of Blues Service Industry Night at Downtown Disney West Side!


Bliss Ultra Lounge remains my favorite Saturday night club since DJ Mickey Bono spins House and Dance similar to Mannequins. It finally got crowded around midnight. Between the music and the mostly female crowd, it was difficult to move on to the next club! You can hear a Mickey Bono music set every Friday night at 9pm ET on RadioDanz.com.


My final stop was Independent Bar and it's always an incredible experience in here. The Saturday night DJ owns the place so although he doesn't have a fancy DJ-name, I'm going to call him "DJ Independent"! The music is 1980's New Wave which I think is now called Old Wave. As always, the place was packed although it did thin out late. Downtown clubs can stay open to nearly 3am and then with last night's time change it was close to 4am when the lights came on. Saturday night admission is free until 11pm.
