Club Reports: Eve Nightclub, Independent Bar, Swiggs, Peek Downtown, Iron Cow, The Nook

Eve Nightclub has a new Saturday night event they've cleverly named "Eve on Saturdays". So we had to check it out!
Arrived to find DJ A-Rock (USA) in the booth playing EDM!
And it didn't take long for the dance floor to go from this.....
.....to this!
DJ Jake Hadden (USA) taking control a little bit later.
The music would occasionally veer off into Hip Hop & Latin hits but was mostly EDM. So I was happy!
And you can never go wrong with Go Go Girls!
Great vibe in Orlando's swankiest venue!
By now you know that if it's at all possible, I'm going to try to drop by Independent Bar on a Saturday night. But it's been awhile!
Just as it should be, DJ Indie John (USA) in the perch!
The Saturday night format of 80's New Wave!
It's the music everyone knows the words to!
Crowded,but not packed.

There will be a big announcement soon about this year's AAHZ Reunion show ft. DJ's Kimball Collins (USA) and Dave Cannalte (USA). It's the 30th Anniversary of AAHZ and it will be a special show. Save the date: Thanksgiving Eve, Wednesday November 21st.

Spotted on the dance floor: Pleasure Islanders Jeff & Karen
Always great fun in here!
First time visit to Swiggs, the okayest bar in town!
Stopping by to say hey to DJ C-Money (USA) who was MC'ing for DJ Vinson (USA).
It's a bar rather than a club and it was jammed!
It was next to impossible to move about the place!
The music primarily Hip Hop!
If you wanted to dance, you had to do it where you stood! I think Swiggs was better than OK.
Now over to Peek Downtown.
DJ Brian Benning (USA) in the booth when I arrived, being cheered-on by DJ Suzy Solar (USA).
Trance music all night long!
Suzy is one of the world-class DJ's selected to play at the upcoming Electric Daisy Carnival - Orlando in November!  Ticket info here.
It was surprisingly uncrowded last night but those there were really getting into it.
That look you get from Trance!
Great set!
Leaving downtown and heading over to the Milk District for the new Iron Cow.
DJ Mark Starr (USA) on the decks when I arrived.
Pretty crowded in here.
House music all night long.
First time seeing him since last February when he played at Eve.
He had the crowd bouncing!
Iron Cow has a new back patio that just opened and we found DJ Atnarko (USA) out here.
The folks at the old Sandwich Bar moved their operations to Iron Cow and what used to be Sandwich Bar is now The Nook. And as I was walking by I heard the distinctive sound of House music drifting out the door!
So I peeked inside and found the legendary DJ Fusion (USA) in the booth!
The place has been completely redone but if they're going to put DJ's in here too, it's got so much potential!
It may just take some time to catch on. But a good time was had by all!
