Cheekers
Dania, Florida
Formerly a Viking club with a gigantic v shaped ceiling
and all wood interiors. It had an amazing dance space.
The entrance was a grand staircase where customers
descended unto the dance and party area. It has
since been leveled as part of the expansion of the Fort Lauderdale Airport. Cheekers was right down the road on U.S. Route 1 from the legendary copa.

COMMENTS ON THIS DISCO / DISCOTHEQUE / NIGHTCLUB
Does anyone remember the gigantic bears at the two corners of the dance floor. I had lots of fun there. People would come really dressed up with tuxedos and long coats.
Cheekers was fabulous!
I wonder if anyone has any pictures.
OMG.... it was fab, I talk about it to people who never went or heard about it. they dont belive me when i tell them about the bears. it realy was and amazing place. it dident last very long but it has to go down as one of south floridas most glam discos. we would go between the copa and there.I spent newyears 1977 there...AMAZING
I remember this place as the large DISCO that would pick-up the client่le that could not get into THE COPA. There were a lot of clubs close by, but the residue of The COPA was the dancers on the floor of CHEEKERS. Not open very long, they had nothing on the weekdays, all their action was on Friday and Saturday nights. The owners and management was in way over their heads. On my scale from 1-10, it gets a very lame 2.
