Once a popular nightclub, the memorial stands as a a sanctuary to remember the 49 innocent lives lost to senseless violence and hate. Now a national memorial and the site of the onePULSE Foundation, the grounds of the former club will be converted into a museum.
A crowd of gays barely out of high school
There are no Gay Man Only bars in Orlando. None that I could find. I stopped by Pulse Disco Bar about 11:00PM. I was told it was the hottest thing in town; obviously, these people do not travel often outside Orlando. I was driving my father Mercedes S 63 sedan and people in line at the club looked at me and the car like I was an alien in a UFO. The valet had and attitude when I refused valet. Documents from my dad were in the car and I could not allow someone to valet the car. After circling the area, and unable to find parking, I asked If I could park myself; yes, but if you keep the key it's $20; not a good start. Got out in expensive party clothes; the weather was like 30 degrees, and the crowd in line already snickering, and the loud mocking laughter. I sported Versace Leather pants, leather boots, a nice shirt, and a wild Claude Montana Leather coat. Made the line with the crowd, pay another $10 for a hottest bar. It is a joke; a bar for teenie boppers, segmented with drag shows, G0-GO dancers, to a raunchy dance floor, to another room bathed constantly in electric colors; with acid it may be a hit. These are mostly twinks; kids barely out of high school, hanging out with lesbians or beards; difficult to tell. They pull up in bargain basement BMW (you know, the December to remember 3 series lease) like they own the world. The hang mostly with bleached blond hair girls, wearing teensy-weensy outfits, rhinestone earrings and dime-store barrettes, and tattoos, and piercing a la carte. Patron Tequila shots sets you back $15; maybe they think is the Breaker Lounge in Palm Beach. I purchased two more, but on a trip to the bathroom, the drinks were stolen. I asked the bartender if the server had removed them; no he said. I guess that is one way these kids can afford a drink in this place. After 30 minutes in the club, I bolted out, and visited Parliament House, an experience not to remember.
Very Trendy and Friendly w/ Hot Dancers
I really enjoy Pulse.. And now that Uber is in Orlando I don't have to drive home drunk or wait forever for a cab. You can use the Uber app. Promotion Code: 6gwzj you can get $20 off first ride.
thug life
Lots of tough thug looking guys. Had to check twice to see if I was really at a gay bar. It's probably great if you are into that scene but I'm a nerdy white guy so it really wasn't my cup of tea.
Love this place!
Went even on a dead night because of another festival going on in Orlando, the drag show was great, the gogo dancers were awesome... drinks are cheap and tasty... this is a must go... oh and valet parking is sooo convenient!
