| Ran across my old Bliss Ultra Lounge VIP card this weekend; guess I saved it hoping they'd reopen someday. Card always got me to the front of the long lines this club used to have, plus free admission most nights! |
 |
| Located on Church Street immediately adjacent the CSX tracks, the club was originally home to Church Street Station's disco Phineas Phoggs Balloon Works. |
 |
| During the waning days of Pleasure Island, friends kept asking me where I was going to hang out once Mannequins closed. When I inquired around for clubs playing what we then referred to as techno music, I kept hearing about Bliss. |
 |
| So I finally did a scouting trip and met Saturday night resident DJ Mickey Bono and lighting tech Dangerous Dave Bilinski! And sure enough, this was the place for Top 40/Dance. |
 |
| And Bliss Ultra Lounge became a regular stop on many-a-Saturday night! |
 |
| The fact that the place was mainly populated by young females did not matter! |
 |
| This Bud's for |
 |
| Nationally touring DJ's played here at times such as Juicy Music's DJ Willie Morales. |
 |
| CityWalk DJ AJ (far left) and DJ Smooth (far right). |
 |
| Miami's DJ Cato K. |
 |
| And DJ Armando from RadioDanz. |
 |
| Packed dance floors were the norm here! |
 |
| The ornate metal work remained in place from its Church Street Station days. A good time was had by all at Bliss Ultra Lounge! |
The club allegedly lost its lease and had to close. It's been sitting empty ever since.
