The Copa
624 SE 28th St., Fort Lauderdale, Florida
The Copa is a permanent fixture in Fort
Lauderdale. It seems as though this club has been around forever. I wonder if it inspired
the song? Anyway, far removed from the downtown area, this club is where the locals hang
out. Very few changes have occurred to the club over the years. An outdoor video bar with
food service seems to be the latest addition. (We don't recommend the food- but who would
really want to eat dinner in a gay bar anyway?) A bitchy drag queen (Elektra) performs out
there several nights a week. Its worth watching her sweat in her bob Mackie gowns! The
dance floor is the main event and the music serves it well. Playing mostly house music, a
few surprises come up every now and then. Many great performers have graced the small
stage (at the end of the dance floor) over the years. The lighting is predictable and
pre-packaged, but at least they use most of it. |
