I'm sure the location of the club speaks for itself, if not the default picture. Â However, ...
 I don't frequent the Daytona area often.  I chose 509 lounge because well, I didn't really even choose it I was forced to go with a friend so, yeah. Anyways, Supervillians were playing, a bunch of people were going wild, Some guy was drunk outside getting arrested, I mean it sounds pretty cool right?
  I will say this, it WAS cool, up until a guy pretty much ate some other dude's face off to get over to me . Upon his drunken stumble onto me he chose to talk 3 inches away from my face as I waited about 15 minutes to get a drink at a bar with 13 people and two very slow bar tenders. Shortly after that pleasant experience I slip away and decide to check out what fine bachelor's the up stairs had to offer.
I'm pretty sure about 8 girls could have had full on rape cases, 4 of which may or may not have been hookers so I guess it didn't really matter. I looked to a shadowy left corner and some guy was puking on himself, the interior decor looked as if that may have been an improvement.
  As I walked out some kid who was about 5 inches taller than Garry Coleman wearing a fedora was screaming in some other kid's face. This lasted about 30 minutes until neither of them swung and both realized they were idiots and walked away with the whole cast of 16 and pregnant.
 So in all fairness I have to say it was probably some of the best people watching I've ever experienced but the drinks were far too expensive so I won't be returning.
Did I mention it was $15.00 to get in? That should have been first
This place is just A-OK in my book. Â It's centrally located and beachside, which is a plus, but it felt like some were influenced a little too much by Jersey Shore. Â Remind me why that show is still on?
I've been here numerous times, during Bike Week, Spring Break and non-peak tourist periods. Â I've noticed some guys being super aggressive and reluctant to take "No" for an answer, so I won't return unless I'm already in a drunken stupor with a lot of friends.
Find me at Savoy a few blocks down instead.
I like this place. The wait staff when I went was fast and the mixer-rail was CHEEEAAP compared to some of the other places around. Both floors were really lively and had great music! The outdoor drinking patio is also nice to watch the antics below. A great place to enjoy the nice weather under the night and a good drink.
Review Source:I wish I could give negative ratings. Go here at your own risk.
Being a college student in Daytona I've been here a lot of times, especially since they specifically hire bartenders/bouncers who can get their friends to come. But I've never found anything impressive about 509.
It looks pretty nice, but if you want good drinks or good food then I'd recommend pretty much anywhere else.
It's generally the only place in Daytona that charges a cover.
I will NEVER go back after a couple weekends ago because the bartender was too busy talking to people to make me a drink, so I had to wait a ridiculous amount of time even after I got her attention and told her what I wanted. The drink turned out to be disgusting and nearly undrinkable. For her horrible service I didn't tip her.
When I saw my bank statement a couple weeks later, I discovered a $29 charge from 509! Apparently the bartender added her own tip by editing my receipt. This was in addition to the $10 cover I paid to get in. I've tried to fight the charge but I didn't save my receipt so there's nothing they will do.
If you'd like to pay a total of $39 to listen to an average dj and drink something disgusting then go for it. Otherwise, AVOID.
I love this place 2nd to Razzles. It's a very cool set-up, think South Beach and it's alot of fun when you go upstairs to dance. Downstairs and outside is super cool if you just wanna chill with friends and be able to hear yourselves. It's not overy expensive and the bartenders try their hearts out
Review Source:This was a cute little upscale-ish nightclub spot that reminds me of Mark's in Jacksonville. My experience was much nicer than my friend who got hit on by some dude that thought he was gangster and was hoping she was too. Oh joy...Lol. It didn't help when we went upstairs and another dude was talking her ear off so much she couldn't dance to the music no more. But hey at least both dudes were respectful and friendly. As for eyecandy, looks like the same people you'd see in Jacksonville...errr.. Haha. Age ranged from lots of younger 20 somethings to a few older peoples.
Bartenders were cool and friendly, and the atmosphere was really nice. The music was a great selection of the standard Top 40 stuff and some other catchy jams I haven't heard before. I'd go back.
509 Lounge is awesome! Great location in beachside Daytona, close to food, shopping and other famous nightlife. Huge front patio with outside bar and entertainment nightly. Luxurious location inside with huge VIP area upstairs. Can't wait for the restaurant to re-open in November!
