Southern Byways

It’s Time to Limbo

by Katherine Lynch on August 26th, 2008

 What happens when you combine cocktails and roller skating? ..an entire night of craziness. That’s what happens every Tuesday night at Gold Coast Roller Rink in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and it has been that way since 1968. Intoxiskate, as it is called, is one of the longest standing institutions for the thriving gay community in South Florida. Local DJs work the turntables, while guests skate the night away. $5 gets you in the door and skate rentals are $2. Drinks are inexpensive, as well. The crowd is younger than the bar scene, as Gold Coast’s liquor license is similar to that of a bowling alley, and you only need to be 18 to get in the door. Couple’s or backwards skate anyone?

Gold Coast Roller Skating Rink is located at 2604 S Federal Highway in Fort Lauderdale. (954) 523-6783 Roll Out takes place every Tuesday night from 8:00 pm - 2:00 am.
