Club Reports: Bar B, Independent Bar, Elixir Bar, Gilt Nightclub

A mix of DJ's and Florida Gators fans, Bar B was the place to be last night in downtown O-Town!
Outside on the patio, first time ever seeing DJ Chrystalline Gold (USA) playing!
Inside in the booth, first time ever seeing DJ Six 9 (USA) playing!
Dance floor was empty as everyone was at the bar.
Watching the UF - UM game which was taking place live just a few miles to the west in Camping World Stadium.
DJ Swagkerr (USA) was up next outside.
There was a little bit more dance floor action out here.
Spotted on the patio: Kimberly surrounded by more DJ's than you can shake a stick at: Sisco, Losman, Soul & Phin (all USA).
Spotted in VIP: Emily flanked by DJ FernGotBeats (USA) & Jennifer Marley (USA).
Bar B has taken over as Orlando's home of Old Skool & Breaks and this board shows us that DJ Krafty Kuts (USA) will be here on Friday, September 13th (along with Jimmy Joslin, Tooltime, Rogue Planet) while DJ Sandy (USA) returns on the following Friday!
You know by now if it's at all possible on a Saturday night, I'm going to try to go to Independent Bar!
Just as it should be on a Saturday night, DJ Indie John (USA) in the perch.
The early crowd down on the dance floor.
But with both the Gator game and the Backstreet Boys (USA) concert at Amway Center ending around 11PM, downtown quickly became absolute chaos. The I-Bar dance floor reflected that!
Orlando Weekly readers just voted the Saturday night 80's New Wave Night at I-Bar the city's Best Club Night for the second year in-a-row!  Link.
Spotted on the dance floor: Karen from Mannequins!
Spotted in VIP: DJ's Dave Cannalte (USA) & Kimball Collins (USA) joined Blog-favorite CJ to talk about the upcoming AAHZ Reunion on Wednesday, November 27th at The Beacham. That's Thanksgiving Eve so save the date! You know it's going to be amazing!
Saturday nights are always amazing at I-Bar too!
OK, crossing Washington Street and into Elixir Bar.
When I arrived opening DJ Marcio Pantoja (BR/USA) was pumping out the House!
The outdoor patio was packed!
Within minutes of arriving, the headliner ready to take over.....
DJ Dirty South (SRB/AUS)
And the crowd went crazy!
Starting off with some slower non-vocal selections, he would build on that!
Spotted on the dance floor: Rockstar & Jen
Originally from Serbia, he moved to Australia when he was a teen.
First time seeing him since EDC-Orlando in 2011 (Link) although he did play at Gilt in 2016.
Lots of euphoria on the floor!
Speaking of Gilt, that was my next and final stop.
The show was already in-progress.
DJ/Producer Audien (USA).
Place was the most-crowded of all the venues visited last night.
And they were loud too!
He would deliver small short samples of his large catalog of dance hits.
Packed to the rafters!
The requisite shiny disco ball was on full display!
Lots of head-banging Dubsteppy Heavy Bass in his mix too which made the youngsters happy.
A good time was had by all.
