I didn't believe it at first. I was doing my usual Downtown stroll and as I roll down Central I hear the typical sounds from Vain's rooftop, the  clammer in front of Casey's and Whiskey Dick's and then a very unusual sound.. Instant flash backs to UCF Football games (at the Citrus Bowl not that tin foil thing they put up a few years ago) and college life go through my head. How? The newly opened Stagger Inn was blaring Kenny Chesney's "Keg in the Closet". Next thing I know, I am at the bar ordering a Jack and Diet.

NV Art Bar is a small bar tucked away on Pine Street in Downtown Orlando.  It's a bar built for atmosphere, artistry, ambiance and gorgeous sounds.  It’s a place that provides moments, without yelling over the music.  You know the moment.  It's the one that stays with you long after you encounter a rare balance of beauty, intrigue and the excitement born from the unexpected show.

With the growth of Downtown nightlife, the new bars/clubs, with  thousands more people coming out to enjoy a drink or dance the night away, it is easy to look past the pieces that are needed to make things tick. Tags: Untagged

Kush is a very unorthodox venue. It is located inside Kathmandu, Downtown Orlando's only smoke/head shop on Court (next to Cleo's/Vain between Pine and Central). To gain access to the Kush hooka lounge you need a security code (which they happily provide) and walk up a flight of stairs. The entry experience is pretty friggin cool to be honest. The place is really comfortable and relaxing. The space is all white  with LED lighting that makes the small 20 person hooka lounge change a variety of colors.
