Downtown
Ft.Myers Shakeup The deck of cards that is downtown Fort Myers nightlife
was shuffled again this summer. On July 1, 2012, Neo Lounge officially closed its doors for good after one last party marking the “end of an era.” For almost six years, the club had seen a revolving door of local promoters, DJs and party people. At press time, the future identity of the now vacant venue off Hendry Street was uncertain. Some good news... cult favorite, Space 39 off Patio de Leon,
changed ownership, but our sources say the ofeat vibe has been kept intact. Blush Tapas Lounge, located at 2115 Main Street, is the newest occupant of Hotel Indigo. Blush caters specifically to arts, entertainment and nightlife, with weekly specials running Thursday through Saturday. Check out Seductive Thursdays; gourmet tapas are served from 4pm-1am and live music starts at 9pm. On Saturday Nights you’ll find high energy dance musik, sounds featured by DJ Hotlink. Another newcomer is Twisted Vine Bistro, located at 2214
Bay Street, offering eclectic cuisine. The eatery is open Monday through Sunday, closing at 11pm on Friday and Saturday nights. When one door closes, another opens. It’s never good news
when venues close, but luckily in downtown Fort Myers, it’s only just for a minute!
