Downtown Update: What's New?

We were hoping this prime spot on Church Street was going to reopen as a club but apparently not. Most recently home to Schumann's Jager Haus and before that, club Dragon Room, the place will reopen as Seychelles Sea Food & Steak House Restaurant. It's adjacent the upscale Kress Chop House so it will be in good company.

Not sure what's going on with the spot formerly occupied by Avenue Gastropub along Orange Avenue. Their website and Facebook pages are still operational but the place is definitely shuttered. Clubbers will remember the spot as the all-white decor Senso Supperclub and before that, Zinc Bar. Big name international DJ's played at both predecessors.

The Taco Bell Cantina has finally opened for business at the corner of Orange Avenue and Central Blvd. It differs from a regular Taco Bell in that they serve beer and wine until 2AM. I guess this is considered a novel concept since you can get beer and wine at McDonald's in many countries outside the United States. But for here, salud!

Finally, this upstairs spot also on Orange Avenue is now home to Tattoo Bar. The venue is aptly named since there is a tattoo parlor at the front of the club. This was most recently named The Office and before that, Stygma. A tattoo parlor has been there through all these names.
