I'm pretty new here in Orlando. I'm 71. My hubby passed in December I had a great time. Bartender. Guys at the door. Telling me all the events. Good etc I left thinking that place was so kind. And gun! Thanks read more

Savoy Orlando - Fun casual place. - Gay Bars Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Super fun bar!! Great service, everyone was having a fun time while serving. Loved the neon and the patio area! Excellent bar food that hits the spot. We had the nachos and tots! They scan for metal before coming in the bar so I felt super safe! read more

Looks are great, feels like a vibe at first. I was greeted by a nice friendly girl then realize she was there to push Kettle One. The bar was huge running the length of the establishment, but only had 4 chairs. We waited until finally we realized you had to go and order despite there being only about 10 others. GoGo Boys were a plus. I finally got a vodka drink. But I prefer friendly bartenders that care you are there. read more

Savoy Orlando - Inside Bar - Gay Bars Near Me - Orlando, Florida

The ambience the people and the service is always a vibe. From the three different bars to the patio and entertainment is an experience.

Brunch was fantastic, all freshly made in house. Loved pancakes and sausage gravy with biscuits

Had such a great time here with my husband on New Year's Eve. Met lots of awesome people and the dancers were amazing. Definitely wanna go back if I'm in Orlando again. read more

One of the most over rated, condescending, pretentious, and unprofessional gay bar I've been to. The dancers are mediocre at best (they can barely dance) and they are not in very good shape. Same old playback premixed dj music and weak drinks. Talk about take the fun out of what's supposed to be a good time. I'd rather say drink at home alone to 1970's music than go there and that doesn't sound very fun, I hate 70's music and drinking alone, especially day drinking. That shows how gross this place is. Loosen your micromanaged rules, hire some decent entertainment and stop running a club with your panties in a bunch. Report Card. GPA 0.8 Entertainment F Cost. B- Staff. D Environment F Cleanliness.

There are few options in the orlando gay community. Savoy is one of them. Since Parliament House and Pulse closed it is one of 2 options for a dance club. It has two rooms, an outside and a small show room/dance floor. The DJ seems to think that all rooms should be at the ear shattering volume of Burning Man. There should be an area to get away from the loud music level. It would improve the bar very much to have an option to just talk. I have heard many patrons complain about this issue. read more

I was here on Halloween and I asked the blonde bartender at the main bar for a margarita and he said no, it was too busy to make a margarita. No one was ordering at the time. I've never been to a bar that has refused to make a margarita. I ended up going to another bar, equally as busy and he had no problem with my order. So weird. Being a woman, I have always been welcomed in this establishment. In this situation I was kind of offended. read more

Fun place! highly recommend! Wonderful service and great music. Didn't eat, but their cocktails were delicious! read more

I never feel welcome at Savoy. It seems to attract the rudest, bitchy guys in Orlando. I really don't go very much anymore. Recently they started to charge a 10.00 cover. It is a rip-off. Stop charging a cover. So basically people are rude, the bartenders have an attitude, then the new cover charge. I am just not anymore. read more

Visited on a Monday 8pm ! That put on the record ! Place was empty and boring ! Had a beer ! And went for another BAR !!!

The staff and atmosphere are exceptional. This place has been a staple in the neighborhood gay bar scene in Orlando for as long as I've visited! Tanner and Shane are super! Lil Nicky was exceptional too! Food is better than expected! read more

Savoy Orlando - Me having a good time! - Gay Bars Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Fantastic place..very unique and fun people. Certainly deserving of five stars.. amazing drag shows here .fun place

Literally the worst fucking bar I've ever been to, I'd rather go drink a bottle of wine by the dumpster than hang out at this dump. Bar tender was rude to my wife and said she should lay off the tequila sunrises and go for a more low carb option. I asked him why and he said cause she was "a fat pig" I told him to get me his manager and the owner came out, me and the owner had a conversation and he told me he didn't care and we should leave. SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN DONT GO. read more

A hidden gem in Orlando. Locally owned, and great energy. At Savoy and adjacent pool bar you come as a customer and leave as a friend. Some of the nicest people, not pretentious or rude as with other gay bars. Though LGBT , it isn't rammed down ones throat and I've had several straight friends enjoy the space. In response to the previous COVID-19 comment - I have been there many times and this bar is over the top in this desire to prevent covid. You enter and exit thru different doors, temp checks, sanitized, and extremely clean bar area. Anyone who says it isn't prepped for covid is lying . read more

Savoy Orlando - For y'all that say they don't do COVID it's insane - Gay Bars Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I want to give this place more stars, I really do. The issue is that it's frustrating as a patron to be mislead on the actual operating hours of this place. No one seems to know when it actually opens, including the folks that work here. We showed up at 3:40pm on a Saturday to find the doors locked even though their website and Facebook page indicate that they open at noon on Saturday's. We decided to enter Ivanhoe 1915 in the meantime and asked when Savoy opens to which the bartender questionably responded that he *thinks* Savoy opens at 4pm. We checked out the patio around 4:05pm for a short period of time. While we were there we pulled on the door leading into Savoy at 4:12pm to find it locked. We asked 2 bartenders on the patio what time we can expect Savoy to be open only to be greeted again by confused employees that appeared to be quite unsure of the actual opening time. They stated "2 or 3 more minutes it should be open". 10 minutes later we finally see patrons exiting Savoy indicating it must be open and we can finally enter. At the very least, update your operating hours online. It's 2022, most people are checking online to see if you're open. You have actually lost business as people in our party decided to go home when they found out you weren't open despite your own website stating that you were. Also, the hours on the front door leading into Savoy state "__pm - 2am". C'mon, at least add your hours to your front door. This is bad business practice. I definitely understand all the changes businesses have gone through due to the pandemic and staffing issues, etc. so it's understandable if the hours of operation have fluctuated but if the hours are going to differ occasionally then even a simple Facebook post indicating this could save some frustration. The only reason I'm giving 3 stars is due to the awesome folks that work behind the bar inside on most nights when I visit. I do have to give credit that Savoy has gone through vast improvements over the last few years and it really has been brought back to life as a staple in the Orlando LGBT community. So thank you for what you've done over the years, now just keep the hours accurate. read more

Bar staff think they're something special. However, they are not. Took ages to get a drink.

Drugged here twice in the middle of the day. I they are known for this. I should have called the cops after a friend almost died.

Don't waste your time on happy hour, unless you're there to drink water. I went to both sides and received the same WEAK drinks. I now know that half price means less than half alcohol. Order water and save your money. read more

Love coming to Savoy but the older bartender charged me for an extra drink and luckily I caught it with a different bartender and had it removed. Then when I left the same older bartender charged my boyfriend $13 for one rum and coke. Haven't experienced this at any other bar and maybe was a one off occurrence. But definitely was fishy behavior. Overall it's a good gay bar with good music, drinks and entertainment. Also very clean! I will continue to be a patron. read more

Very nice gay bar with great music and shows almost nightly and the selection of bar food is actually very decent. A must stop if you are visiting and looking for a fun gay bar. read more

Great dive bar. I went on Tuesday night and it a bit empty but I had a wonderful time. Drinks were great. Definitely come check out. read more

Savoy is a great bar for hanging out and talking, with your friends. The backbar outside is our favorite, with Shane bar tending. Shane mixes up great cocktails with local ingredients that he has hand picked. read more

Nice place - has something for everyone with 4 separate areas. drink prices are great and the staff is amazing. The weekends are usually really busy - more nightclub like. The week days are more "neighborhood bar with chandeliers!". The restaurant also has great food. It's bar food and quick bites but super yummy. Definitely worth the stop. read more

Good looking spot. If you want to see the drag show though get there really early. Drinks were good service was great crowd, interesting. No dress code no cover so, positive experience all around. read more

Bartender was completely rude and offensive when we walked in. The only reason I'm not giving it a 1 star is because of its location and the fact that it looked fun. We ended up going to Stonewall and enjoying a few adult beverage there.....where the bartenders are friendly‍ read more

Many of the older reviews mentioned smoking. Savoy is now smoke free except on the outdoor patio. They have a small pub grub menu and great happy hour specials. It's a bar I like to bring friends from out of town to show them the "real Orlando". Friendly staff. read more

Awful. Dark. Terrible art. It's this long dark cement-y hall with somebody's idea of art on the walls. Bartenders in underwear, one gyrating mildly--like he was thinking about something else--while old dudes sat around at the table. A wee bit rank smelling. To be fair, it wasnt a weekend so perhaps all dark bars are sad early in the evening on week nights? But I'd get a can of paint, some new art, and take the dark shades off of those windows. read more

If I could give this bar 0 stars I would do just that ! But everyone working INCLUDING the manager had a nasty attitude and bad customer service. I felt very unwelcomed and had to leave IMMEDIATELY. Other bars next door are much better anyway . read more

Customer service was absolutely awful. They were unwelcoming and very disrespectful. They say they are a lgbtq+ bar but that was the worst experience I've ever had at any bar and I've got some crazy bar stories, but when the staff is this rude omg enough said! read more

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that this bar is non smoking now. I stopped by for the Tuesday night comedy show. I opened the door expecting a cloud of smoke but it was clean and clear thank goodness. They do have a nice outdoor bar area for the smokers and since it was a chilly night I noticed they also have heaters out there. There was only one bartender for the indoor bar and at times she seemed a little stressed and moody but I got my drinks with a short wait. Two cocktails were a total of $15. The comedy show is free! I really enjoyed the show. It started just before 9pm and ended before 11pm. I'll be back for another comedy night. read more

Unfortunately Savoy seems to have lost a bit of its luster since my last visit here a few years ago. When I texted one of my friends in Orlando to ask if Savoy was still decent, he told me most of the clientele were now much older, just there to ogle the very young (and emaciated) dancers and he was pretty much spot on. We stopped here at around 8 on a weekend evening, and we were by far the youngest customers in the place. The bar was full but not packed, with only a handful of people occupying the outdoor space in back. When we arrived, the lone hot bartender working at the time was friendly, quick with service and made us a few good drinks. By the time we were ready to order another round, a few additional bartenders had shown up and they totally screwed up my partner's drink order. This is most probably because they themselves had downed a few shots behind the bar in plain sight of everyone between the time they arrived and the time we ordered from them. The other thing that's changed since I was here last is that the farthest storefront to the left, which used to be part of Savoy and was a sports bar with a pool table and dart boards, etc. is no longer part of this bar, and is is now a separate lounge/restaurant/wine shop. read more

I have only been here once but I loved it. It is a gay bar but everyone is very respectful of one another and their beliefs. The people were super kind and fun. They let me choose the music to be played throughout the bar. The patio area is super cute and is where people sit back relax have a smoke, mingle, etc. Everyone is really friendly and I met a lot of cool people. The drinks are very reasonably priced too. I would like to go back. The crowd is a bit older though. read more

Omg. Way overpriced. So many options out there. Much better values for a drink. This place charged me $15 for a drink.

Savoy is an exceedingly friendly and well managed club. They host lots of events and have a showroom that's intimate and fun. And once the DJ starts spinning, the dance floor really comes alive! It's by far the best LGBTQ club in the Orlando area. read more

I have been coming here for several months the music sucks they only want to play music to one kind of race. Last night I ask the dJ to play a song he told me no. So I left and went to southern nights and have a blast they played my song and they mix the music up. Bye savoy read more
