SAVOY Daytona

THE DRINKS WERE WATERED DOWN AND OVER PRICED! Not much of a crowd for a Friday night...the streamline had a WAY bigger crowd. Savoy has more of a younger following with a more mixed crowd. This club is nicer than the streamline but didn't have that old beach feel to it. All and all It was OK, we played a game of pool, got on the dance floor for a minute and went back to the streamline.

How did I miss reviewing this one?! Hardly the highlight of my time in Daytona Beach, but definitely something I won't soon forget.

The blue neon nights are permanently emblazoned on my mind. That's really all I remember. That and a staircase. It's easy to accidentally walk into the bar next door thinking you're coming here. Well, I'd like to think it's easy to do because we did it.

Drinks were just okay. I thought the bartenders were nice, despite being girls (just kidding, I swear). Meh.

Savoy + Spring Break + Bike Week = Fun

I was leery to come here because of the above formula, but a friend asked me to meet up with him so I obliged.  Parking was impossible to find even 5 streets west of A1A so I finally paid the $5 to park in the parking lot behind the club.

The staff at the front door were nice and easy on the eyes.  As I walked in, there were light effects that can only be described as millions of moving sperm (sans tails) in the stairwell.  Once upstairs, you can see most of the club: the bar, two distinct seating areas, the dance floor and a dartboard area.

The Asian girl made my Maker's and ginger ale as perfectly as I do: STRONG.  Several people approached me to make small talk without that "To Catch a Predator" vibe that is common in Jacksonville.  Eye candy was plentiful, though I was told the club was not as packed as the previous night.

One interesting event was the fight that happened after a belligerent drunk guy was kicked out of a bar next door.  Maybe 10 people ended up showing how awesomely douchebaggy they were by making fools of themselves and not even getting any quality hits in.  Losers.

Oh, as I was leaving, an ambulance arrived because a guy in the parking lot was unconscious in his car so they smashed the windows and dragged him out.

Is it Savoy that attracts these upstanding citizens?  Most likely not.  Spring Breakers?  Probably.  Bike Weekers?  Definitely.

Moral of the story: Be nice to the straight-looking guys because they'll actually ask if Savoy is a gay club and have a good time with you even if they didn't intend on being with us gay folk.
