Deko Grand Opening Last Week- KnightNews Given Tour
News, Night Life — By Cliff Jett on January 13, 2010 at 5:28 pmThis Thursday marks the grand opening of the UCF community’s newest night life destination: Deko Bar and Hookah Lounge.
Located on Alafaya and University, in the same shopping center at Knight Library, Fubar and Underground Blues, this new club strives to be unique amongst college bars. For one thing, it isn’t just a dance floor and a bar; instead, it offers private VIP rooms and hookah lounges for those who prefer to relax with their group of friends away from the crowd.
The most striking feature of Deko once you walk in is, perhaps, that the DJ booth is behind the bar and raised up high, allowing the DJ to oversee the crowd. That, coupled with some of the highest quality lighting in Orlando and flat screen televisions adorning the walls, makes for a very upscale experience without the higher prices of downtown clubs. When listening to the music, you will certainly notice that they spared no expense with their sound system, as the music is very clear at high volumes.
Being that Deko occupies a building that was formerly a movie theater, they have creatively come up with some ways to use the features. Outside, for example, is the old ticket office for the theater. They have converted it into an outdoor bar, so when they have people outside on crowded nights they will be able to easily serve drinks.
Additionally, all of the side hallways of the theater have been converted into the private lounges. It allows them to spread out of the crowd on busy nights if they’d like, avoiding that “bumper-to-bumper” feeling at the club.
There’s a lot more to say about this place, but the best way to learn what it’s all about is to go on opening night, this Thursday.
Deko will only be open on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights until they get more acquainted with the area and determine a more permanent schedule.

looks like the owner of deko, keith, got coked out again and had a temper tantrum. simmer down tough guy, we know you like to threaten people. get some help for your cocaine addiction.
ps. library and tds both serve fake top shelf liquor so NEVER order top shelf from them. They also have horrible ratings by the health inspection. I will soon post all this informatio so people can verify it by themselves. GET READY TO CLOSE and ride in on the horse that gave birth to u ! hahahahaha
jersey shore fan aka owner of library and or tds. get ready to close down your shit hole redneck bars (if you can even call them bars.) You are so pathetic you need to give away your bar and let your employees steal from you. you guys are the furthest thing away from a real business. You are an Orlando joke. The guys from deko and scoop have more than 5 clubs are are under 25. They have alot more going for them than you fag faces. you guys are ugly, douche bags who never left the city of orlando. you are both 40 + years old and still watch MTV? that says alot about you. i can ramble on and on but this is just to funny. tim and dave- you 2 both take the cake for largest cock smokers. really- how much uglier and toolish can somebody get. a face only a mother can love is what your quote for life should be.
also SCOOP is NOT closing and will remain open. FOR EVER!!!!!!
whoever said that scoop was closing is an idiot! scoop and deko lounge will both be open so if you aren’t feeling the nightclub lounge environment then you can go to scoop
So does anybody know if all the rumors that have been going around are true that they are shutting Scoop down this week and moving into this new place. That would suck, Scoop mondays are the best an I wouldn’t want to see my favorite bartenders fired. Put up a post if anybody knows if its 100 percent true and what day scoop is closing, I want to be there for the last Scoop night out. I dont think I will be checking out this new place though, too weird for me
Sweet, now all of the guidos and guidettes have their on guido lounge to go to an fistpump all night in. I like watching jersey shore because its hilarious, but i wouldnt go near this new ultra lounge, its just way too over the top for a local night out.
