NAPLES' HIDDEN GEM

Friday Nights w/ DJ PAUL & Friends @ Absinthe Lounge (Naples)


It's been a bit over a year since I last hit this upscale lounge, and I was definitely impressed in how this venue has stepped up their game and blossomed into a legitimate hot spot for sexy people and great vibes. They've since upgraded their sound and lighting giving it boost in appeal and quality. The drink specials were rediculous too, $10 all-u-can-drink, and you can still taste the alcohol !!! Staff was friendly, no doorman bullshit.

My good friend DJ PAUL was holding down the patio deck with sexy house and uplifting trance, while DJ FUMO was pumping out Top 40 remixes for the mainstream types. The crowd was proper, no club rats, or thugged out wanna-be's, no cliques or small town politics... just positive vibes all night long.

Although the location of this lounge was tucked deep into a relatively low-key plaza, it's definitely worth treasure hunting for because this gem is worth seeking. It's good to see that EDM still has a heartbeat in Naples, and hope to see that venue continue to flourish.

I know in the past this venue has struggled to draw a decent crowd and some shows have flopped, but after this Friday, I am convinced that Absinthe has got the formula right this time. If you've never been or haven't been in a while, definitely go check it out.... ESPECIALLY if you live in Naples !!!

Support your local EDM scene !!!
