Club Reports: Local Bar, Gilt Nightclub

Began my Saturday night at The Local Bar, located on Edgewater Drive just south of Par Street.

Here to see DJ Ian McDaniel (USA) playing Mannequins classics!

Primarily a sports bar with pub food, the new owner is also trying to add a musical edge to the venue!

Small crowd on the dance floor.

Local Bar's claim to fame will be some subwoofers that used to be in Mannequins!

 Besides being a former Mannequins DJ, Ian McDaniel is known for his mix show every Saturday night on XL106.7 in Orlando.

Spotted: Local Bar's new owner is none other than DJ Pat from Atlantic Dance Hall. He was included in our 2016 Blog article called "The DJ's of ADH". Link.

Spotted: Mark Dean, a contractor who regularly worked around the Island's clubs.

Now over to Gilt Nightclub.

Arrived to a big crowd!

DJ Spencer Brown (USA) was in the booth!

The crowd excited for Trance!

I had first seen Spencer Brown play this past February at Place Bell in Montreal when he opened for Above & Beyond (GB). Link.

 Headliner coming through!

The reason we were all here, DJ Andrew Bayer (USA).

And he would put on an animated set of mostly Trance.

So good to see Trance being embraced by the young.

Spotted: Spencer Brown signing autographs.

That look you get from Trance.

Some of his selections went onto the House side, laced with a Trance edge.

Spotted on the dance floor: Blog-favorite bartender Fernando from Atlantic Dance Hall, with friends.

Anjuanabeats in the house!

Lots of enthusiasm in the club!

And a good time was had by all.
