Club Reports: Home State Brewing, Whole Enchilada, Celine

As you probably know, we don't actually live in the city of Orlando but out in west suburban Winter Garden. So we began our Friday evening at local brew pub Home State Brewing. It's located along New Independence Parkway in Hamlin, it's just east of TOLL SR429.
As you would expect in a brew pub, lots of vats to make their own brews.

Inside is this bar area where you can choose your selections of the evening.
 
And adjacent outdoors, this covered patio was last night's home to the first edition of "Full Dose Fridays".

Featuring DJ Dose (USA).

House music all night long!

Nearby, this tent offered more covered capacity.

The beats had the crowd bouncing.

"Full Dose Fridays" will have guest DJ's and last night DJ Recipe (USA) would come on for a short segment.

Continuing that House vibe.

And then DJ Dose would come back on. This event takes place from 8PM-11PM on the final Friday of the month, the third Friday in August due to the holiday that final weekend.

Spotted: DJ Dose with Jaime Anne.

Spotted: DJ Recipe with Tanya.

Spotted: DJ Drizzy (USA) with his main squeeze.

Spotted: DJ Thomas James (USA)

Spotted: DJ Georgie Oshiro (USA)

Spotted: DJ Mo (USA) joined this"We're pulling for you" pose. Come check this monthly out with the next edition on Friday, July 25th.

Unlike downtown Winter Park which seemingly rolls up its sidewalks at 10PM, there is actually nightlife in downtown Winter Garden including several live music venues. But we came downtown for the Rooftop Bar atop The Whole Enchilada.

A quick-service restaurant downstairs, we came up to the rooftop and walked into this.

Over in the corner booth, DJ 818 (USA).

The music was a mix of Top 40 and House during our visit.

After Friday afternoon's thunderstorms, the air was clear with a hint of coolness and there was a large crowd up here.

They don't brew their own here (Crooked Can Brewery is a block away) but they do have a large selection on tap to choose from.

OK, away from Winter Garden and into the heart of the big city. 

Arriving in to Celine, we walked into this.

We caught the final few minutes of DJ Sheen Boogie (USA) playing House remixes of "Hot In Herre" and "Party All The Time".

And then at 12:30AM, there she was, the headliner.....

DJ Azzecca (USA)
Crowded up front.

Her House/Tech House set had the club bouncing.

The lasers were flying!

The dance floor was crowded up front but away from the front the place was actually pretty empty.

Azzecca is based in Chicago. Her rusty hair color contrasted nicely with her red Adidas track jacket.

Everywhere we went last night, a good time was had by all.
