DK Travel : Orlando : Downtown Orlando : Bars & Nightclubs

Cairo

Everything from house to retro-progressive is played at this multi-floored, Egyptian-themed club. There’s also a rooftop reggae lounge.
Church Street

A two-block strip of bars, restaurants, and clubs that draws party people wanting to steer clear of the trendiness of other downtown clubs.
Cowboys Orlando

A gigantic country music hot spot with four huge bars and nightly dance contests.
Icon

Step inside Orlando’s home of house music, which offers a scrap metal decor, scantily dressed cage dancers, and a trendy crowd.
Independent Bar

This club is multileveled with state-ofthe- art sound and light systems, three bars, and two dance floors with differing styles of music.
Knock Knock

The DJs at this club-bar up the vibe without blowing anyone’s eardrums. The perfect place to chill between clubs.
Tabu

This cavernous former theater is a dark and trendy magnet, largely for 20-somethings on the prowl. The music favors house and breakbeat.
The Bösendorfer Lounge

With upscale elegance, this lounge is perfect for sipping cocktails in stylish surroundings. Lounge singers and pianists play around the $250,000 Bösendorfer piano (Tue–Sat).
The Club at Firestone

This club offers lively techno, rave, and house dance beats. The best time to go is on the weekends, especially Saturday nights when there is a big crowd and occasional live acts.
The Social

Orlando’s best club for live music, bar none. The stage hosts an incredible variety of performers, from jazz to electronica.
