Located on Orange Avenue in the center of downtown, Tabu attempts to repent for its previous life as the uber-cheesy Zuma Beach Club and restore some of the glory to this former location of the historic Beacham Theatre. A beach theme is somewhat still in effect, but the renovation makes creative use of the venue's expansive interior--there's a main floor and a fairly large upstairs lounge--with a stylized art deco-meets-Egypt concept throughout.

Weeknights mainly spotlight mainstream house-dance and hip-hop, while weekends feature underground DJ talent. Special events include national superstar DJs, live bands and celebrity appearances. Hungry guests can order from the sushi menu, smokers can pull out cigars, and drinkers take delight in an extensive champagne, beer, martini, Scotch and fine-wine selection (with bottle service). Separate VIP areas for the beautiful people. The Bonkerz Comedy Club is also located here

Friday is sushi happy hour, 5pm-8pm; free sushi (and admission) with XL (106.7 FM) broadcasting live

Tabu enforces a "stylish dress code." It's ambiguous, but you should probably avoid jeans, T-shirts, shorts and sandals

Bonkerz Comedy Club runs on Friday and Saturday evenings, 8pm-9pm. Call (407) 629-2665 for reservations
