Whats on Tap
Sun sets on Southern Nights
Even though, I haven't been to the club regularly in years, I felt a pang of sadness when I heard Southern Nights off of Bumby Avenue in Orlando closed it doors for good this past Wednesday night. Supposedly due to unpaid back taxes the club just couldn't catch up. Even with some successful nights taking place at the club. In fact, recently The Rendezvous Lounge was hosting local music acts, which means another local music venue lost along with a legendary club.
A few years back, Southern's cheap drinks and drag shows kept my group of friends and me returning every weekend. The majority of us are straight, but we always felt welcome once inside the gay and lesbian club. It's a shame Orlando (especially the gay/lesbian/bi communities) has lost another much loved establishment, Southern will be missed.
