 UCF Police discuss underage drinking. ORLANDO, Fla. -- Orange County and the University of Central Florida are working together to prevent underage drinking.
A special committee met on Friday to discuss prevention.
Steve Sullivan owns the bar Cowboys. He said his bar has an electronic ID scanning system to help them spot someone with a fake ID.
"We use this system to help us determine whether the ID is authentic, or not authentic," Sullivan said. "So we cut down that human error factor so we're more responsible."
UCF Police said they have educational programs on campus to help prevent underage drinking. Off campus, police work with vendors to make sure they are not serving anyone younger than 21.

Over 20 models gather the stage after a runway fashion show at Bliss Nightclub in Orlando. Located on the newly redeveloped Church Street, Thursday night, this was the place to be. A true event of Models and Bottles took place down the lighted runway on the middle of the dance floor this past Thursday. CFLBARS.COM was live on location filming for the DVD at the local Nightclub Bliss. Since its opening a few months ago Bliss has raised the bar for Nightlife in Orlando, FL. Hosting three island bars, upstairs VIP bottle service, state of the art music and lights, this party atmosphere is one you cant miss. The music was a non-stop blend of new and old hits that keeps the dance floor moving. Stay tuned for the DVD release of the fashion show with a online preview here, from CFLBARS.COM. |

I guess by now you've figured out the theme of this week's section. But when it comes to nightlife, it's hard to call out an end-all-be-all best in town. Not because I'm wishy-washy, far from it. It's because the nightlife scene is ever-changing -- clubs go out of business constantly, and bars change events and motifs more than I change . . . well, you know the saying.
Point is, the nightlife scene moves as hard and fast as its patrons. But being the opinionated bar hopper I am, that's not going to stop me from giving you my two cents.
In a couple of categories, including gay/lesbian bar, which is kind of in flux right now, you won't see a defined favorite. Three bars that do well (and I mean are still in business) are Savoy, Paradise and of course, Parliament House, all in Orlando. Another category I'm holding off on is best wine bar, since the demise of Global Grape Wines, which would have taken the prize. Right now I can say Brix Eurobistro is strong. But for now:
