Pulse   

Pretty boys and the guys who love them relish the super chic surrounds at this South Orange Avenue gay nightclub, an oasis of cool situated in an unassuming gray stucco building near Florida Hospital. Pulse is divvied into three rooms, with the entertainment growing ever more risque the farther you venture in. Sleek white furniture and lighting that changes colors like a melting rainbow dominates the Ultra Lounge, where patrons linger over martinis while taking in cabaret shows and lounge lizard sounds. The Jewel Box opens early in the evening with an entertainment lineup than spans the spectrum, from variety acts and comedy to 80s music and trance. For the wildest time, head to the Adonis Room at the back -- noir decor sets a don't-ask-don't-tell ambiance for male strip shows that often feature male adult video stars. Needless to say, check your inhibitions at the door. Popular weekly specials include College Night on Wednesdays, when it's 18 and up, and Tini Tuesdays with $2 martinis and karaoke from 8PM-12AM. There's a $5 cover charge, but when you consider that it's good for a free drink (including the regularly priced $8 martinis) the pocket damage is minimal.
