With the seasons changing, Red Coconut Club has transformed once again to celebrate Universal’s Mardi Gras: International Flavors of Mardi Gras, happening from February 4 through April 16, 2023. From 5:00 PM to 1:00 AM, take a gander at the detailed decor and sip on delicious cocktails like the Sazerac or Bayou Thunder.
History of Red Coconut Club Transformations
Prior to September 2022, Red Coconut Club had sat vacant, waiting for its dance floor to be filled for the first time since 2020. Joining arguably the most anticipated event of the season, Red Coconut Club dawned Universal Monsters-inspired decor to haunt alongside the Halloween Horror Nights 31 festivities and was called Dead Coconut Club. The all-hallows bar was met with astounding success but came to a close with the end of the yearly fright-fest.
However, while Universal Orlando Resort dawned tinsel and holly as they decked the halls, Red Coconut Club opened its doors once again to become Green & Red Coconut Club, offering a variety of merry and bright festive delights. As remnants of the holidays drifted away from Universal Orlando Resort, this yuletide rendition of Red Coconut Club adjourned. This only left us anticipating the watering hole’s possible return as the good times would start to roll soon with Mardi Gras around the corner.
A Look Inside Cursed Coconut Club
While Universal Studios Florida gives an intricate reflection on Mardi Gras celebration in the French Quarter, Red Coconut Club’s newest iteration highlights another part of NOLA culture. To set the tone of this chilling bar, the Cursed Coconut Club facade has been adorned with graveyard decor, similar to what you would see with the above-ground memorial sites in New Orleans. Walking through the fog that surrounds the bar’s entrance, you will find a variety of items inspired by New Orleans’ deep-rooted history in Voodoo. With a total of three bars, detailed decor, and plenty of fun, lounging options, you and your krewe have everything you need to celebrate with the spirits!
