Club Reports: Cocktails & Screams, Independent Bar, Zone 333 Street Party

The sign still reads 39 Pine, but this is now the home of the new Halloween-themed Cocktails & Screams.

They apparently don't need a sign because the word was out for "opening night" and the line was at least an hour long to get in!

The entrance is next to what is now called Sound Bar but better known as Backbooth. SPOLIER ALERT: Do not proceed beyond this picture unless you want to see inside!

The large inside of the venue. Let me tell you, it's nothing short of spectacular!

This can be found on the main stage. There was no DJ playing last night, just recorded Classical and Spooky music.

There are various themed sections.

Another one.

Many things glow with black light.

If you've ever been to Haunted Mansion at Disney's Magic Kingdom.....

 We're not going to show you everything but you get the idea!  And this is not just open for Halloween, this will be a year-round venue just as Frosty's Christmastime Lounge has done a couple blocks away.

You know by now if it's at all possible on a Saturday night, I'm going to visit Independent Bar.

Just as it should be on a Saturday night, DJ Indie John (USA) in the perch!

The dance floor was uncharacteristically empty initially.

But once the long line at the door cleared, the place filled-up!

Spotted in VIP: DJ Parry (USA) with Renee from Love & Leather. Guys, the holidays are coming soon and it's not too early to be ordering something now for your sweet babboo! Check out Renee's handmade collections on the link.

Taking over late, the mysterious DJ KC Cuts (USA).

I-Bar Saturday nights have become noticeably less Goth and more Millennials.

But more than any other club in town, it's a mix of everyone. Because everyone loves the 80's!

And it gets crazy in there!

Elixir Bar was home last night the the Zone 333 Street Party!

Arrived fashionably-late for a Techno/Tech House set from either Hector Couto (E) or Stacey Pullen (USA).

Whoever it was was short so he was difficult to see over the equipment.

The grounds were packed!

And then the headliner after 1AM, DJ Erick Morillo (USA).

First time I've ever seen him live!

I'm sure he's played Orlando before but I couldn't find any listings for the past 10 years in the Blog archives.

The event took place not only inside Elixir Bar and on their famous dance patio, but also in the adjacent parking lots.

Where it was absolutely mobbed!

The lasers were flying!

Going "soulful" House on us late.

A long House version of "Heard it Through The Grapevine" sent the crowd into a frenzy!

It was pretty amazing!

And a good time was had by all.
