ThereÂ´s a club in Miami that has different “environmnets” including:
- an airplane complete with seats and buckles as well as baggage storage bins
- a bus
- a trailer

All in one club. ItÂ´s great.

There’s a fusion food restaurant/bar in town that used to be a pharmacy. It’s a big hangout for a lot of the local college kids, and the seem to find it funny that the word “drugs” is spelled out in tiles on the inside floor.

The Church Brew Works in Pittsburgh used to be a Catholic church. Now they brew beer in the nave and give it names like “Celestial Pale Ale” and “Pious Monk Dunkel”.

Carney’s here in L.A. on Sunset was once a train, well a part of a train which is now a wonderful place to stop and get a chili dog. mmmm :-P

We used to party on 6th St. in Austin during our college years. I’m not sure if any of the bars took the place of something totally not a bar, but they do have some pretty cool themes. I love The Library (I think that’s the name), where it really feels like you’re drinking in some old-timey study.

We also have the Liberty Bar here in San Antonio, which is rumored to have once been a brothel, and was definitely a residence/grocery store when it was first built. The most interesting thing about this building, though, is that it leans (due to a flood in the early part of the 20th century) but has been declared to be “structurally sound.”

In 1992, I went to a night club in New York City called “Limelight” that used to be a church. They had gutted the place and put catwalks up on the walls and across the top and had GO-GO cages hanging from the ceilings. They even opened up the catacombs and made then into “social rooms” with sofas and chairs. Very cool and don’t know if it’s still there.

I’ve been to El Avion, on my way to Manuel Antonio park.. it seems like if you want a great mountain top view of the Pacific ocean drinking a beer, this is probably your place! But don’t spend too much time there, Manuel Antonio park is spectacular!

IÂ´ve been at El AviÃ³n, drinking Imperial beer and looking for bulletholes on the fuselage we expected to be there. ItÂ´s on the road between Quepos and Manuel Antonio National park. ItÂ´s hard to miss, on the righthand side of the road.

I’m going to Costa Rica this summer… where exactly is this place? I’m sure my friends would love to check it out.
