About The Cove Swing Club – Located Inside King Charles Plumbing Heating & Air
The Cove Swing Club is hosted in the warehouse of a fellow swing dancer with an HVAC business. Look for the King Charles signage and red light. The venue features 1,000 square feet of dance floor plus an additional 600 square feet of lounge space.
Food and Drinks
There is free, filtered water right out of taps! There’s a convenience store close by and a few restaurants within two miles.
Air Conditioning
Yes. Currently a 5 ton AC, being upgraded to a 10 ton AC. The owner of the space owns an HVAC company and he swing dances – he knows just how important cool air is. Lucky us! It’s literally the coolest place in town!
