Best Happy Hour in Downtown Orlando | Anthem Orlando LGBTQ+ Bar & Drink Specials

The mic is hot, the crowd is loud, and baby, the spotlight is yours. Every Tuesday, Anthem offers a rotating lineup of camp, chaos, and queer joy — one week it's Music Bingo: Queer Icons, the next it's karaoke where your high note might earn a round of shots. Expect drag, laughter, and that messy gay magic we all live for. Free entry, cheap drinks all night ($5 wells, $6.50 Tito's, $4 domestic), and a stage that's waiting for you.

Adi Love's Love Cast takes over Anthem for a full drag production built around chosen family — six performers (Jessica Lane, Jezy Galore, Thisis Madness, Amaya Scandal, Kimara Starlight, and Dante Valentino) trading numbers from polished lip-sync to comedy to pure audience chaos. Doors at 9 PM, showtime 10:30 PM, DJ Nani Soul keeps the floor moving after. There's a $50 bar tab raffle during the show, full bar, and Tuesday drink pricing. 21+ with valid ID.

Every Wednesday, Anthem turns back the clock with throwbacks from the 80s, 90s, 2000s, and showtunes — the kind of night that has you belting out Broadway hits one minute and dancing to pure nostalgia the next. Grab $5 wine or $6 Jack & Jack Flavors while the music takes you on a journey through decades of iconic hits. No cover, just good music, great drinks, and that Anthem energy from 3 PM to 2 AM.

Thursday nights at Anthem Orlando belong to the salsa and bachata crowd — free beginner-friendly lessons kick things off at 8:30 PM, then the floor opens up for salsa, bachata, rumba, and cha-cha all night. No partner needed, no experience required; just show up and move with downtown Orlando's friendliest Latin dance community. Presented by AIDS Healthcare Foundation.

Thursday nights at Anthem belong to Latin Music Night — reggaeton, bachata, merengue, and Latin pop from 10 PM until 2:30 AM. Free cover, $20 all-you-can-drink wells, $5 shots, and a mixed queer crowd that actually dances. DJ Jery keeps the floor moving all night in downtown Orlando's heart.

Orlando's hardest techno takes over Anthem on Friday, August 28 from 10 PM to 2 AM — dark, fast, hypnotic, and built for people who came to dance. This is warehouse-style Berlin techno: long sets, heavy kick drums, minimal chat, no filler. 18+ with valid ID; cover sold online and at the door through the promoter. Dress for the floor and come ready to move.
