Downtown Update

Here's a short update about what's happening in downtown Orlando.  First of all it's with great sadness to announce that the very new Syn Nightclub has already closed its doors.  The place opened with such promise from two owners who were supposed to be dedicated to bringing a pure House music format to downtown.  But within a few weeks of opening they had already let promoters take over their main nights and with few exceptions, the promoters did not deliver the crowds necessary to sustain the place.  And they quickly went off into obscure genres of EDM that held appeal to few.  So Syn is now gone.  Will always remember DJ Heavygrinder's visit though as one of the few bright spots.

Chi Phi sounds like a frat house but it's really a bar dedicated to fans of Chicago and Philadelphia cuisine.  Big crowd in the house standing around having a few brews while music from next door's DJ at The Basement is pumped in.  But turn around.....

.....and check out that cuisine!  Chicago style hot dogs and Italian Beef Sandwiches for Chi-town fans, Philly Cheesesteaks and Roast Pork sandwiches for Philly ex-pats!  If you have that 2am craving, check this place out over on East Pine Street!

Check out some flavored vodka shots at Suite B Lounge if you're in the area.  The double chocolate was incredible, the peach very peachy and my favorite.....buttered popcorn vodka!

A string of several clubs were planned on Orange Avenue just above Washington Street but it's now been narrowed down to just one called Saddle Up.  Something tells me Country music will be featured here so if you're in to cowboy boots and cowboy hats, a big yee haw to you!
