New event center, The Meet Up, brings live jazz and late-night dancing to East Gainesville

A new venue called The Meet Up has opened on Gainesville’s east side, offering live jazz, a dance floor open until 1 a.m., a DJ, and a dress code on Friday nights. Owner Alishia McDonald, a lifelong east side resident, says the space is also available for private events Monday through Thursday. McDonald described the venture as an effort to fill a gap in arts and entertainment options on that side of the city.
