Salsa Dancing at Coco Locos Nightclub, Fort Lauderdale




Dancing with the girls-Spring Break 2010

 For all my latin gals/guys Coco Lcos is the place to be on either a Friday or Saturday night.

This high-powered dance club features the best of Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, and Reggaeton. Open from 9pm-4am, or whenever your feet burn from all the dancing.

Warning! It's small, and although the dancefloor is big enough for crazy Salsa spins it can get rather crowded.

Located on a remote road off of State Road 84 (Marina Mile), above a Ramada Inn. Best of all, you don't need to be 21 and over for admission. Ladies and guys 18+ welcome, but if you aren't 21 a cover charge of $10 will be charged. A small price to pay to the party gods I think.

"I went on a Friday night and was pleasantly surprised with the club. It has a spacious wooden dance floor. In terms of Salsa dancers, I got to see all levels. most of them danced On1 with about half of them dancing Casion (I even saw a small Rueda forming). However, I beliee you're better off going with your own partner or group of friends."-Florida Clubs-Salsa Power!

Drinks are affordable, and you don't need a hefty wallet in order to have a good time. The prices range from $6-$12, and that's not bad at all. The music alone will intoxicate you!

Delux Nightclub, Oh what a Night in Delray Beach!

If an intimate club with an outside patio is your scene, then Delux Nightclub is the place for you!

Located just a little north of Boca Raton in Delray Beach, Delux is on Atlantic Avenue in the midsts of other bars and restaurants that turn into party scenes. One room, one DJ, and one bar.

LOVE:

Music, atomosphere, people, ample dance floor, cheap cocktails, and the party starts early!

HATE:

Long waits for cocktails, bathrooms, and a $10 cover charge.

Ending the party at around 1:45 am, the DJ gives last call and pretty much shuts off the music. BOO!

So unlike most clubs located in downtown Fort Lauderdale, Delux provides a change of pace and scene.

On the plus side weekends provide an even more of an escape in the outside patio of Delux.-10 Best

Dinner and dancing at b.e.d.

B.E.D.
Beverage. Entertainment. Dining

Made popular by the cast of Jersey Shore, the MTV mega hit took the streets of Miami and spent the most time in club b.e.d.
In order to come here be sure to have your pockets LOADED! Nothing about this place is cheap. You must pay for everything from parking to a cover charge. The drinks... well come on it's South Beach!!

According to Night Cure B.E.D. has created a distinctive and relaxing retreat in the middle of South Beach’s hottest nightlife district.

Club b.e.d. has a dining menu out of this world. Anything on their menu from beef carpacchio to Australian rack of lamb. Dounling as not only a restaurant, but one of te most exciting clubs on South Beach. Of course it becomes a great time after the shock of the prices!!!

Located on the strip of South Beach on Washington Ave. Club b.e.d. provides you with all the necessities to have a good time. The bottles of alcohol range anywhere from $250-$700, unless your interested in Cogniacs which those can go for $3500. But in case your a regular Joe as most of us are drinks range from $14-30 (beer never fails is by far the cheapest). If your a high roller, b.e.d. is certainly the place to show off, and well to celebrate any type of occasion.

"I ve been to B.E.D. on Monday (hip-hop night ) and Wednesday (trance night).. Both nights I stayed till 5 in the morning cause tthe place is so hot! Viva Tequila shots!! Can't wait to go back!"-Kalina

An All American-Backyard Party!

The South Florida breeze brushes up against your skin. The smell of the air is one that can be only distinguished by true Floridians. The hot and humid day has turned into a cool night, as you head home from work you can't help but be excited for the night's festivities. There isn't much to your wardrobe, you could go in a bathing suit and still fit in. Everyone loves an all American-backyard party one that include mini shooters, an awesome DJ in a cart, bartenders, and one of the largest outside parties in South Florida.
America's Backyard located in the heart of Downtown, Las Olas offers all of the above.



"Whether you’re in the mood for grillin’ or chillin’, dancin’ or drinkin’ they're ready for you with our never-ending…ever-changing party!"- Night Cure

America's Backyard is open to until 4am as most other nightclubs in the area, but don't be fooled this venue isn't a nightclub. The atomosphere is a completely relaxed one, everyone is there just to have a good time. A beer or drink in hand dancing around the enormous pool in the center. The pool isn't filled with water; but bottles of liquor, crazy bartenders, and the perimiter with dancers. The dancers are not ones hired by America's Backyard, but people just like you and I. Careful gentlemen, bar dancing is only for the ladies. The DJ will cut the music and "boo" you off, the bartenders stop making drink all together and grab a hose to spray you down, but even through the short 1 minute pause the party continues!

There are 2 different areas where you can hang out and have an all American-backyard party.

*Upstairs: With it's seperate VIP tables and high tops. This area has it's own bar, high top tables, and even a hair dresser chair, for thos risky shot takers. If your a bit timid you can people watch from here, while still enjoying thr atomosphere.
*Main party area: Along with the DJ, three bars, and pool. Being in the center of all the action, and if your daring enough ladies getting on the bar for a quick dance.
This is the perfect party for college students, the cover is only $5, but only on selected nights. There are nights when you can get in for ABSOLUTELY nothing. Getting a drink is not something that is a big deal, with plenty of bars and cheap booze. Beers for only $4.50, mixed drinks that range from $6.50 to $15.00, and the tiny "tubby" shooter for only $3.00. Their infamous bucket drinks are the best; mixed alcohol, portable, and super fun to drink. $15.00 and it's good for a good portion of the night, it roughly last about 2 hours.

So whether your in the mood to go casual or dressed up, America's Backyard is just the place for you! An all American-backyard party with some of your closest friends, there's nothing better than that. Every night begining Wednesday (Ladies Nights), there is always something happening here. Weekdays, weekends, and even holidays America's Backyard guarentees a good time!!
"That's when alcohol mixes with dance music, rendering otherwise respectable young professionals helpless and desperate to dance on the bar."- Broward New Times

Rumbass, West Palm Beach

"Why go to bed, when you can have another drink?" as said in a review by Club Planet. Rumbass located in West Palm Beach could quiet possibly be the place to be. Rumbass is 3 clubs in one, a little north but only a short 25 minute drive to West Palm Beach can give you that special edge you are looking for on a Saturday night.

Club 1: Rumbass the main room spins the best of Bachata, Merengue, Salsa, and Reggaeton.

Club 2: Pure Lounge mixes the best of today's top 40 hits. Major singles from Lady Gaga to Flo Rida.

Club 3: CLASH is the third club located towards the back, and drops hip hop and r&b all night.

It's safe to assume that the lines outside of Rumbass are not long at all, but don't let that discourage you the inside is packed. Rumbass caters to all types of people, and Latinos can get the rythym moving that they seek for. It's 18+ for ladies and 21+ for the gentlemen. The cover charge is only $10, which isn't bad at all if you plan to party all night until 5am.

"Of course, this could mean some serious pain the next morning (or, more likely, the next afternoon.) Don’t say we didn’t warn you."-Club Planet

If your looking to test the waters, the live sounds of the club can radiate through your speakers on 92.1fm. As you make your way through the crowded places the main room's dancefloor is massive! With elevated dancefloors for couples to shine and let others see their skills in salsa. Club Pure Lounge is located on the left and intices people with it's large DJ booth and LCD screen TVS. There is bar in every room and the booze, well that's affordable. Beers go for $6.00 and classic mixed drinks for only $8.50. Not too shabby, if your in the Boca Raton area or futher north Rumbass is the place for you!

Off The Hookah

Beds, cabanas, 2 rooms, shot girls, belly dancers, hookahs, and fancy bartenders. There's no other place like it, Las Olas Riverfront becomes alive in the night time at Off The Hookah!

Located in the heart of Las Olas Riverfront, OTH is for sure the place to be on the weekend. Surrounded by other night clubs, and small bars, and late night pizzerias. OTH has music for all types of people, well only those are that 21 and up. Careful gentlemen dress code is strictly enforced.

Now OTH doesn't charge a cover charge as steeply as some of the other Florida night clubs, and the clubs in Miami are sure to make any bank account go overdrawn. It's only a $5 cover charge for women, and $10 for the gents. But on a Saturday night as a girlfriend I learned you can get in FREE, yes I said FREE by simply standing in the wrong line. Ladies if you do not have an entourage and are just looking for a drink and quick sweat stand in the following line. The line for VIP and table reservations, but heres the trick you have to act like you didn't know that line wasn't sure general admission. The bouncer will ask who's with you when you had him your ID, and to not make a big fuss; or have a longer line he willsimply  let you in. STRESS FREE!

OTH an atomosphere all on it's own, it's hard to not have a good time. The bar stretches throughout the center and has all type of alcohol, and beer! The DJ stands on the right in the back of the building higher than everyone and spinning the hits of today, classic rock, and of course all those oldies people like. They have a projector which plays some of the music videos that is currently playing. On the left hand side are the beds and cabanas for bottle service and all the hookah you like. The room to left hand side is either a Latino room for a Hip-Hop room depending on the night. With 3 bars, go-go dancers pouring shots, and bartenders throwing their shakers in te air. This is the place to be!
