Cats
Mayfair in the Grove, Coconut Grove, Florida
Dee Jays:
Rick Alonso
Octavio Machado
Cats was located on the second floor of the Shops in Mayfair, an upscale shopping mall. Occupied the former STRINGFELLOWS location. Very exclusive, only the BEAUTIFUL People were allowed in. A fancy top notch DISCO that doubled as a fine eating establishment as well. Very expensive place, a bottle of DOM cost over $500.00 in 1986!!
Featured one of the only regularly scheduled Performing Troupes in Miami DISCOS. Also had BILLBOARD Reporter RICK"Billy Bob" Alonso as the main deejay. That meant the finest, latest sounds anywhere. Didn't get their lease renewed, so it wasn't there very long. A shame.

COMMENTS ON THIS DISCO / DISCOTHEQUE / NIGHTCLUB
Hey vyniljunkie! What are you smoking?
:) I know you personally so I know how you can be mistaken about this club.
STRINGFELLOWS actually came after CATS. CAT'S era was in the early eighties to about 1988. That's when STRINGFELLOWS took over. STRINGFELLOWS did not last very long though.
When one does the things I've done, I feel fortunate to remember the EIGHTIES at ALL!!! You are right! Of course, but STRINGFELLOWS was so forgettable that it wasn't easy to remember anything about that joke of a "CLUB". Given that I was mistaken, I often am, CATS was so much better than the few MONTHS that STRINGFELLOWS was open that it was a JOKE!!When you worked in a club that had no future, we called it a STRINGFELLOW!!!!!!
