Got your mind on your money and your money on your mind?
So do Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. And they’ll be collecting it for the “bespoke cocktails” and “elevated nightlife experience” they’re about to offer, when Still Lounge by Dre and Snoop opens right here on I-Drive.
“There are clear similarities between Nashville and Orlando,” opines Brittany Graham, marketing director for Live! at The Pointe Orlando.
“Both are vibrant, experience-driven cities with a strong mix of locals, tourists and convention visitors.”
And after the Music City success seen by The Spot by Dre and Snoop, Graham and the team in The City Beautiful see a similar path for Still Lounge, which promises to bring the same pop, with a rotation of DJs, live performances and playlists inspired by two undeniable icons of hip-hop.
The Nashville location, Graham says, has carved out its own niche in a town known primarily for country music.
“It’s a genre-crossing experience that resonates with guests of all ages and backgrounds,” she notes, adding that the response has well exceeded expectations.

“Orlando is an entertainment mecca and a natural next step.”
And, says the beverage team, a natural place to continue the mixology evolution of Still G.I.N. by Dre and Snoop, a “spirited” collaboration between this “kingmaker” and his primary prince.
“We want to continue to give people memorable experiences to discover and appreciate the defiantly smooth [spirit] — especially its supreme mixability in the cocktail space,” said Andrew Gill, the brand’s chief strategy officer.
Signatures like the G-Thang (ain’t nothin’ but something I already want to order just for the name), the Bee’s Knees (fresh lemon, wildflower honey, apricot liqueur and lavender) or Platinum Negroni (yuzu, grapefruit, lemon with baking spice) will showcase that Still G.I.N., along with other premium pours.
Doubtless, many will be expecting juice with the gin, and can enjoy theirs Dre’s Way (apricot juice) or Snoop’s Way (passionfruit juice).

As for eats, that’s limited to complimentary toffee popcorn with togarashi at Dre and Snoop’s posh crib; however, guests visiting Live! at The Pointe will be able to enjoy a collection of other dining options, courtesy of the Palm Tree Club’s various offerings, as well as those of both Sports & Social and Sal’s Pizza.
Table requests are available online, and VIP tables (at press time, Friday and Saturday nights only) are reservable for a deposit, starting at Chandelier Booths for $50 (four guests, minimum spend $120) on up to Snoop’s Lounge Tables for $100 (10 guests, minimum spend $300).
