Gay Orlando – Where to Go During Pride Weekend

Orlando’s Pride nightlife centres on three areas: Downtown for Lake Eola and Anthem, Ivanhoe Village for Savoy, and the Milk District for Southern Nights and neighbouring bars. Choose one area for the evening, then use a taxi or rideshare between districts.

Downtown – Close to the Festival

• Anthem Orlando – 100 N Orange Avenue. Opened in February 2025, this LGBTQ+ nightclub has a main room with a stage, DJ booth and LED lighting, plus lounge seating and multiple bars. Its location near Lake Eola makes it a practical stop between the festival and evening parties. Admission is 21+.
• SWEATBOX – An independent queer electronic party rather than a permanent gay bar. Previous pride editions took over Eola View with three stages, offering a different musical direction from the circuit program.
• If you want to be close to the gay bars and clubs, check out The Delaney Hotel just over a mile from Church Street.

Ivanhoe Village – Shows, Dancers and Cabaret

• Savoy Orlando – 1913 N Orange Avenue. A gay entertainment complex with several rooms and patio spaces, combining male dancers, drag performances, DJs and daytime dining events. Its Pride programme stretches from Thursday’s Latin night through Sunday brunch and disco.
• Renaissance Theatre Company – 415 E Princeton Street. A converted warehouse with flexible performance spaces, bars and cabaret programming. Visit for drag, original theatre and immersive productions; check the individual show rather than treating it as a conventional nightclub.

The Milk District – Club Nights and Bear Bars

• Southern Nights – 375 S Bumby Avenue. Popular gay nightclub and a principal address for Orlando’s drag and club scene. Check the night’s format before choosing your evening: GIRL The Party is its regular Saturday sapphic club night.
