Hello Mark and Carrie,
First let me say “THANK YOU!!!” for doing such a wonderful job. It is much appreciated!
—————————————————
Valentines nightclub is a “Friendly to all” bar/nightclub and is well known for being one of Tampa Bay’s Premier Gay “Hotspots”. The club has been operating as a gay club for over 7 years and is busy most of the week. When looking for a club that is “happening”, everyone always says: “…let’s go to Valentines…”! Besides being a great club, many like it due to it’s central location to Tampa and the fact it is away from the Ybor City scene.
We have quality (headliner) Drag Shows 5 nights a week (Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday) as well as other entertainment, special events, drink specials (daily and nightly), etc. The nightly fun usually gets started after 11:00 p.m. and goes all the way until closing at 3:00 a.m. Hip-hop and other current popular dance music is the standard fare at Valentines on the busy nights with Saturdays being “Latino” night. DJ Georgie spins the Latin beat Saturdays while DJ Reuben spins the pop charts
top hits and other dance favorites the rest of the week.
Mondays are always a relaxing night at Valentines with FREE tunes from the latest digital endless song “Juke Box” sporting a “beefed up” BOSE sound system. You can play darts or billiards while you enjoy 2-4-1 beer, wells and calls all day and night. Wednesdays are Karaoke night (10:00 p.m. until
2:00 a.m.) with Ron East Productions as the KJ. Also a 2-4-1 day and night on beer, wells and calls.
Happy hour begins at 3:00 p.m. and goes until 9:00 p.m. with beer, wine, wells and calls 2-4-1.
Always busy, packed and always fun (just ask someone who has been to the club). Come by once and you are hooked on Valentines!!! In addition to our official website at http://www.valentinesnightclub.com you can also see us on MySpace at http://www.myspace.com/clubvalentines
