Concert Report: PM Entertainment Presents (Revel Nightclub)

After our quick trip to Key West on Thursday, we were in Sanford last night where Capital Room Bar becomes Club Revel on Friday nights.

Last night PM Entertainment owner Pete Manos was at the door and greeted us with open arms!

Their front room is home to this craft cocktail bar.

While the back room is home to the DJ booth and dance floor. We had arrived fairly early yet the floor was already seeing activity.

The graphics at the rear prevented any kind of decent photo of the opener.

A lot better from the side. DJ Roller (USA).

Dance floor view.

DJ Kris Kokopelli (USA) up next.

Breaks were the order of the evening and these two would play two songs and alternate throughout their set. 

The beats were infectious.

The empty spaces wouldn't remain that way for long.

Shift change around 11:15PM with DJ Nelly Fre$h (USA) taking over.

Nelly Fre$h also plays tonight at Grumpy's Underground in the Mills/50 District of Orlando.

You know you're at the right place when Neonravebaby is at your event!

Dance floor activity picking up.

DJ JRok (USA) came on next.

JROK and Nelly would each play three songs before swapping with the other.

Fun sets by both with lots of Old Skool.

They both kept the dance floor bouncing.

Team picture.

Capital Room hosts another Breaks & Bass party next Saturday night July 19th ft. DJ Bobby Buzz (USA) from south Florida along with DJ Gucci Bass (USA) and DJ ZZ (USA). 

Last night we ran into so many peeps from the local scene. A few were new but most we knew.







DJ Drizzy (USA) hosts another big event at Three Odd Guys Brewing in downtown Apopka on Saturday, July 26th. The 5PM to 1AM event will feature DJ Jennifer Marley (USA), DJ Swagkerr (USA), DJ Genesis (USA) and more!

















Only Orlando Entertainment News provides full event coverage.





12:30AM and NLP in the house with DJ Security (USA) and DJ Matrix (USA).

Joined by MC MB (USA).

MC MB would provide the needed narration for many of his songs.

When NLP DJ's are on the decks, lots of back-in-the-day memories from Suite B Lounge in downtown Orlando.

Dance floor stayed bouncing.

John Z had it going on!

Sara J had it going on!

More peeps!



































About 1:15AM, closing set from legendary DJ Security (USA).

But there was no winding-down the night. He brought full-BOOM with him!

Getting down, figuratively and literally!

Approaching 2AM and no one was leaving just yet.

Dance floor stayed full.

And a good time was had by all.

Club Reports: Sloppy Joe's Bar, Hog's Breath Saloon, Tree Bar, Flying Monkeys (Key West)

Welcome to the Conch Republic! By now you know that if we’re traveling we like to share entertainment choices in the various cities or ships we’re on. So here we were in Key West yesterday to visit the southernmost point in the continental United States.

If you're an optimist, you're happy to find that U.S. Highway 1 begins here.

If you're a pessimist, you're sad to find that U.S. Highway 1 ends here.

The reason for our trip to Key West yesterday was to visit the buoy that signifies the "southernmost point" in the continental United States. Next month we're going to visit the "northernmost point" in the continental United States so it made sense to come here first. With no cruise ships in town yesterday, the queue only took about 20 minutes. It can sometimes take hours.

Key West is a tourist town if there ever was one. The action is centered around Duval Street.

Sloppy Joe's Bar is likely the most-famous bar in Key West. Operating since 1937, writer Ernest Hemingway was known to frequent here.

A peek inside. It's popular for drinking and eating.

On stage at the rear, Rolando Rojas (RCH/USA) sings, plays guitar, ukelele, and piano.

Another very famous bar in Key West is Hog's Breath Saloon.

A peek inside.

Another singer with guitar. In that regard Key West is a lot like New Orleans and Nashville. Few DJ's, mostly singers, guitars and live bands.

As seen on their tee shirts, "Hog's Breath is better than no breath at all." 

Flying Monkeys was high on my list to visit yesterday.

This is a frozen daiquiri bar with more than a dozen flavors. 

I was here for the Chocohol.

OMG, imagine a chocolate-flavored Slurpee with 100% grain alcohol in it. So good! This is the highlight of any trip to Key West. No live music here but a prerecorded track played hits from the 70's - 00's.

Before heading back to the airport, also made a quick visit to Tree Bar.

It's named for this large tree located in front of the venue.
Just another hole in the wall bar in a city full of them. It's all about that treee.

Key West is hot, humid, run down, expensive and full of quirky attractions. But everyone should visit at least once.

A good time was had by all.
