A NIGHT ON THE TOWN TO EXPERIENCE the excitement of a nightclub, Lake County residents have been forced to make the drive to Orlando. Fortunately, that’s no longer the case thanks to a super-hip venue that recently opened in Eustis. The excitement of nightlife is alive and well at Rhythms, which is located at 12 South Bay St. Owners Tony Campagnari, a longtime musician, Colleen Campagnari and David Sherman said their new establishment is a triple threat — a mix of music and energy, food that will tantalize your taste buds, and an amazing selection of drinks. Between Thursday and Saturday, the energy stays high and the fun never stops because Rhythms brings in top-quality party bands and tribute bands that perform throughout Florida. “I have bands come here that you won’t see perform anywhere else locally,” said Tony, who also owns Pro Auto Care and Transmission in Eustis. “The entertainment is top-shelf, and my reasoning for starting this venue is to be different. There’s no longer any need to drive to Orlando when you have as nice a venue as anywhere and can listen to the same kind of high-caliber music.” Rhythms, which officially opened April 10, is an open-air nightclub featuring a unique stage lighting system, a horseshoe-shaped, full-service bar with black granite top and a
large dance floor. Live music is performed inside, as well as outside in an outdoor courtyard. “Bands love performing outside,” Tony said. “We live in Florida so it’s all about the fresh air. One of the main reasons I opened Rhythms is to introduce the county to a spectacular venue that is unique to this area. So far, our guests have commented on how spectacular the facility looks and they’ve all been extremely positive about the uptempo, high-energy atmosphere.” Bringing high-quality bands to the area is a point of pride for Tony. After all, he is a musician who landed his first gig at age 11 while performing at the SP Club in western Massachusetts. “The SP Club was located on a lake, and different bands would perform there on Friday and Saturday nights. I played the guitar.” Guests at Rhythms will quickly realize that Tony is still very musically inclined. His five-member band, TC and Sass, performs on Thursdays during Ladies Night. They play a mix of old school funk and R&B, current dance hits, disco, 80s rock. Other bands that perform there play everything from disco music and 1980s rock to current hits such as Pharrell Williams’ “Happy.” Visitors are treated to an eclectic mix of blues, jazz, acoustic acts on Sundays.
