Club Reports: Is The Why Not Lounge Coming Back?

Our sister website Orlando Entertainment News caught a rumor this weekend that predicted that the venerable Why Not Lounge in Altamonte Springs may be returning! As you may recall, the large "lounge" was located for years inside the Holiday Inn - Altamonte Springs but after it lost it's Holiday Inn flag, the hotel changed ownership and names (Howard Johnson Plaza, Clarion, Magnuson Grand, etc) numerous times over the years and changed from a business hotel to more of an extended stay property. At some point one of the owners apparently sold the liquor license and the Why Not Lounge closed forever in late-January, 2015. The hotel is currently called the Opal Hotel and Suites. Well according to the rumor, a bar/club will be reopening there late this year and it will be called the Why Not Lounge once again! We hope their famous Thursday night Ladies Night, a mainstay of north Orlando club nights for literally decades, returns as well. We'll keep you updated!
