Barbarella

Photographs of the outside of Barbarella nightclub, located at 70 N. Orange Avenue in downtown Orlando. Opened in 1987 with the name Beach Club, the location quickly became a popular destination for live music and dj’d dance parties. Renamed Barbarella in 1993, it was again renamed Independent Bar in 2002. The club reverted back to the Barbarella name before closing its downtown location in April 2022.

    My son’s band played there once in the early 2000s. There’s some video of the place (not my son’s band) https://youtu.be/gNahvcp1eL8 Their old website is still up for now at http://independentbar2.pushthetempo.com/wordpress/?attachment_id=29 And there is an article about them here https://www.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment/os-2015-best-bets-orlando-best-downtown-nightclub-story.html The run down of weekly events was in the Orlando Weekly. That’s where the showing promoting my son’s band “String Theory” was posted. I don’t have video of them, but this is them playing one of their songs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpTbtyB70ZM
