Are you only thinking about money?
Same goes for Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. And they’ll raise that money for the “tailor-made cocktails” and “elevated nightlife experience” that Still Lounge by Dre and Snoop plans to offer when it opens here at iDrive.
“There are obvious similarities between Nashville and Orlando,” opined Brittany Graham, marketing director for Live! At Point Orlando.
“Both are vibrant, experience-oriented cities with a strong mix of locals, tourists and convention-goers.”
And after Music City’s success seen with Dre and Snoop’s The Spot, Graham and the team at The City Beautiful are exploring a similar path with Still Lounge, which promises to deliver the same pop with rotating DJs, live performances, and playlists inspired by hip-hop’s two undisputed icons.
Graham said the Nashville store has carved out its own niche in a town known primarily for country music.
“This is a genre-defying experience that resonates with guests of all ages and backgrounds,” she said, adding that the response has far exceeded expectations.
“Orlando is an entertainment mecca and a natural next step.”
And the drinks team says it’s a natural place to continue the mixology evolution of Dre and Snoop’s Still Gin, a “spirited” collaboration between the “kingmaker” and his leading prince.
“We want to continue to provide people with memorable experiences discovering and appreciating the best mixability of defiantly smooth (spirits), especially in the cocktail space,” said Andrew Gill, the brand’s chief strategy officer.
Signatures like G-Thang (which isn’t anything, but the name alone already makes me want to order it), Bee’s Knees (fresh lemon, wildflower honey, apricot liqueur, lavender), or Platinum Negroni (yuzu, grapefruit, lemon with baking spices) showcase their still gin, along with other premium pours.
No doubt, many people expect a juice to accompany their gin, and you can enjoy a Draize Way (apricot juice) or a Snoop’s Way (passion fruit juice).
As for food, it’s limited to Dre and Snoop’s luxury crib with complimentary toffee popcorn and chili. But guests visiting Live! can enjoy a collection of other dining options at At the Point, with Palm Tree Club’s wide range of offerings, as well as offerings from both Sports & Social and Sal’s Pizza.
Table requests can be made online and VIP tables (press time, Friday and Saturday nights only) can be reserved with a deposit. From $50 for the Chandelier Booth (4 guests, $120 minimum spend) to $100 for the Snoop Lounge Table (10 guests, $300 minimum spend).
