Does anyone remember Bizar Bazar across the Plaza De Colon in Old San Juan. What about Rachid"s in Isla Verde, Puerto Rico

Funny that no one has mentioned Levels Discotheque in Santurce or Metropolis. Those two were my favorites. I used to go to Levels almost every weekend. DJ Carlos Colon used to mix there.

Fun Times!

Tp

Remember Le Jardin, in Isla Verde, Puerto Rico, and Rachid's. Also in Isla Verde? Those were the days.

Back in the late 70's perhaps 78, 79, I use to hang out in Lions disco, it was situated in old San Juan Calle Luna. The Disco use to get jam packed and I remember meeting a girl
who was on vacation she originally was from Bronx N.Y., her name was Joanna and she went to the club with a cousin named Lisa, I would love to know how Life has turned out for this girl Joanna, she caught my attention back then and comes to mind at times. I think the family lived in Santurce, Ocean Park. I would also like to know if anyone has heard of Victor, he use to be the DJ sometimes at that Disco and he was a looker, men and women use to go ga ga for him..lol...
Well I have written this in hopes that Joanna see's this, after all I found this little Disco from San Juan niche, maybe she will to.

Oh yes I remember all the previously mentioned clubs, especially, Abbys, Lions was great I met my partner at the time there and we were together 10 years back then.
Bocachhioos was also great, Caimito...OMG, the memories...I do remember Victor
being DJ at Lions, is he still around?...

Hi' there , I guess people will remember "Discopatin" at roberto r.h. todd in santurce, Villa Caimito Country club at caimito area, Isadora's at the Condado plaza hotel and Amadeus" at El San Juan Hotel as well, by the way my name is John Mojica , known as J.J. former DJ of those clubs , just say hi to all the people who dance with my mixes" on those clubs, that was the best time for me as a person having a chance to work for clubs. Some of these guys still playing in some private parties in P.R. 70's and 80's Dj Baron Lopez, Carlos fernandez, Pablo Flores with my respect the best DJ I ever met, Carlos Colon, Jorge Valentin, and from the late 80.s Ivan Robles. me as a DJ I am retired I am' 50'years old but I still have those great Memories and Pictures from all those clubs that I worked, there's a lot of new generation Dj's from the 90's in P.R. but nothing like the 70's and 80's so where ever you are here in P.R. or the States just keep listening to those great disco songs. Ciaoooooo, your friend J.J from P.R.

I used to work part time as the door hostess at The Warehouse that was owned by Alberto Salas. I lived in PR from April 1978 to 1980. I remember Luisita Cristales! He was quite an entertainer.

Those days back then were the best!

My favorite was Julianna in the Caribe Hilton. Remember San Juan San Juan, Bachelor, Leonardos, Lime, Isadora, Flying Sauccer (which by the way they stole my purse) El Guayacán in Old San Juan. WOW many memories and lots of fun during those years.

Greeting everyone! My first job at a club in PR was in "El Boquete" in Isla Verde... The owner was Sunny and the DJ during those days was Cuto... He used to play with a very unique style... Later I went to work at Lions Disco as Assistant DJ to Humberto Rivera (DJ Smiley)... Victor was also a DJ there... Lions Den was attached to the club as a stand-alone bar... At that time the known DJs in town were: Pablo Flores in Bachelor, Juan, Oscar and Edwin at the Abby, Othello and San Juan, San Juan... At Rotz was DJ Sean, DJ Leo was playing at Zira. DJ Papo came from NY to play at the newly built Flying Saucer... Later I played at Topaz after a few years with Pablo at Bachelor as his light man...
Pablo Flores now has a nice Facebook page for both his personal memorabilia as well as a Bachelor dedicated page with nice music and pictures…. I still keep some great mixed music in both cassettes and transferred CDs... If anyone interested in trading, please let me know! Great memories!

In the 80's and 90's DJ McCoy also played rocking music in Club Lazer, Neons and Peggy Sue but nobody seems to mention him. Does anyone remember this guy, what was his real name?

Wow so many good memories. I can't believe so many people remember the good old days.To Pochy Lopez yes I remember Juan, like yesterday, he played at Othello, Abbey & Stars. Also I had the priviledge to leard to dj & Stars in 1980 when Rafy Jimenez was the dj. But my places were Warehouse & Hollywood disco. From 1978 - 1981, them I came to NY. But nothing compares to those days. In fact I have all my vinyls from that era and I still mix them often, I just can't get enough. I glad to hear from all of you. GOD blesses all of you.

YOU GUYS ARE GOOD' IM Harry, I DJ at the flying saucer untill the end of its era. one of my many great memories was the artis that came to perform live at the fying saucer like: kool and the gang,gloria ganer,the villsge people,tito puente, el gran combo,iris chacon,even MENUDO in their beginings, and so many many other celebrities and turist that made frequent appearances. IT WAS THE PLACE GO' when in pr, it was famous. my other best? yes' the people, what a crowd. and if your like me those times and music still run through my body.

Steve,
Thanks for the list of other clubs in Puerto Rico, but could you add them one per page at: http://www.discomusic.com/clubs-submit/
I would like each club to have its own dedicated page so they get the full respect they deserve.
Thanks.

4- The Express, Ponce (1970's-80's)
5- World Upside Down, San Germán (1970-80's)
6- Bocaccio (original location), this club was located 1/2 block north of Tu Tren Station between Ave Muñoz Rivera/Ponce de Leon near Calle Guayama in Hato Rey.

Hi folks, there seems to be a little confusion as to the names of many clubs in Puerto Rico so I would like your help in clearing it up. Each club has its own page here on the DiscoMusic.com site, but this one is listed as Isadora, Juliannas, Flying Saucer... so what is the name of this club? I would like to make it so that each club has its own dedicated page so things don't get mixed up.

There is another Flying Saucer Disco in Isla Verde, Carolina, Puerto Rico listed elsewhere at: http://www.discomusic.com/clubs-more/10429_0_6_0_C/
Is this a different club or the same as above? Thanks!

If anyone would like to add a page for a missing club in Puerto Rico then please add it here: http://www.discomusic.com/clubs-submit/ Just remember: One club per page entry.

Oh my god! Thanks PR for the late 70's and 80's. I think we had the more clubs per square miles in the world in those days. Leonardo, Jetzebel, Isadoras, Juliana's, Rashids, San Juan San Juan, Bachelors, Flying Saucer, Pegasus,Amadeus and Warehouse( My favorite)to name a few. In San German Las Cuevas De Luis Candela and don't forget El Coqui in the Cerromar Hotel.

All the affulents hit this night spot every weekend, Iris chacon and hubby always passed by among others. Charlie Garcia was the owner. I read somewhere about Wilfredo Gomez being the owner, Never did he patronize the place. Great memories. Any questions just ask. Mad Chemist gave a right on discription. The ceiling lights dance to the music.

To Lauren Sanders and vyniljunkie,

Back in the days, I used to frequent “The Flying Saucer” almost every week. I did my last couple of High School years in PR, and that gave me the opportunity to go to quite a few clubs down there (underage but had the connections to get in). My all time favorite was “The Flying Saucer”; that place was out-of-this-world! (no pun intended…LOL) The outside of the “Flying Saucer” was shaped like a dome, with silver-colored metal panels covering it. Smaller white acrylic domes at about eye-level formed a “ring” around the structure, like portholes to the outside world. Inside the dome, there were multi-level sitting areas and bars, almost stadium-like, that covered its entire circumference. And right smack in the center of the dome, a sunken round version of the dance floor used in “Saturday Night Fever”; the design had the look of a spider web. The dance floor was surrounded by yet another bar; you could have a drink right were the action was. The sound system was incredible; talk about megawatts of base! (It’s a miracle we’re not deaf… LOL) The DJ booth was about half way up the dome (ceiling). Right behind them, and making a complete 360 degrees around the dome, a series of giant video screens that were the top of the line those days; they formed a flawless 360 degrees “window” on the “spaceship”. They had a multitude of “alien” characters dressed in costumes walking around the place, and the waitresses were dressed in tight silvery “spacesuits”. For all of you that had the opportunity to dance there, you will remember their “signature theme song”. At midnight, they would stop the music and start playing the theme from “2001: A Space Odyssey” as loud as they could, while playing a 360 degrees video of the “Flying Saucer” flying over San Juan, PR and around the world (kind of like a Disney ride but a million times better!). I truly felt like the darn thing was flying!!! (LOL) Then, towards the end of that tune, they would start mixing in one of the hot pop songs of the day (like Michael Jackson’s “Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough”).

The building is still there. You can go to Google Maps and enter these coordinates (18.442699 - 66.024268) in the “search maps” box to locate it. Then, click on the “satellite” button on the map to switch to a satellite picture. You can then zoom in to look at the building. I also have a copy of the “signature theme song” mixed with “Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough”; a friend of mine gave me the file (mp3 format). It truly brought back memories! I hope this bit of info brings back memories for you guys too.

dj like fabian crosgei (mirage,isadora)ruby(hollywood)raymond acevedo(original dj from isadora)baron lopez(the legendary dj work on most of stanley passafaros club like camelot,lazer,neons well the list is long) me started as lightman of bachelor with pablo after that club 305,mykonos before i was dj at el coqui (cerromar)julianas (caribe hilton)by the way me and baron are the only active dj of that era.

Isadora, wow great memories of that Disco. That was the best disco in San Juan, great music, people, ambiance, etc. everything was great!!!!!!

Was this place actually a "FLYING SAUCER"? Was that the design? The interior? Was the sound system out of this world?? Serious Questions!

I went to Mykonos and Isadora (it was in El Condado Plaza) also I remember Amadeus, Neons (the #1 New Wave dischoteque), Clash, Bachelor, Julianas in the Caribe Hilton (unforgettable), Lazer Videotheque (unfortunately today a Reggeaton disco) and how could I forget the most famous disco in the west area, La Cueva de Papo Candela, Levels in Santurce (and their famous spuma parties) San Juan-San Juan, Leonardos and many, many others.
