Band getting up
Lawrence U.

This place is one local favorite. Live band. Cheap drinks. Locals. Not the place for those who don't like smoking.people smoke and you will inhale second hand smoke. But this is my favorite.

We stumbled upon Tanqueray's on a night out in Downtown Orlando. We noticed a staircase leading down to beneath ground level of the building, and though I live in Florida I'm always intrigued by 'basements.' The bouncer ID'd us, and we made our way inside, immediately welcomed by the smell of cigarettes and Rock music. Not a fan of the smoke, but the music was great. They host live music, with calendars and dates posted inside. The drinks were good, full bar, beers on tap, and skilled bartenders. The ambiance is intimate and definitely dive-y. Just don't expect to eat here, just drink and enjoy the tunes! Cheap drinks, great entertainment, and a nice way to start a little pregame before the downtown crawl!

A great and cheap underground bar on Orange! My boyfriend and I stumbled across this bar when we were walking downtown in the florida heat, then all of a sudden we feel this super cold breeze coming from a staircase. We went downstairs, and discovered a cool wooden cigarette bar. We're not smokers, but we didn't mind the smell. The drinks, M-F from 5-8pm, the whole tab is 50% off! We were so surprised. We ordered 11 beers for $22! It was so crazy we came back here the next day. Shoutout to David and Jereme as bar tenders. So friendly, so quick and very welcoming. The restrooms here are also so clean. The cleanest restrooms in downtown for sure. We'll be back, we love our happy hour!

Down some flight of stairs. Definition of a drive bar. Really strange older music - i put money in the jute box. And made request Because it was so bad. I think someone was requesting songs on phone. I liked playing darts. You need cash for darts. Bar tenders were nice. Bathrooms were ok. Very chill feel -drinks 7-10$

Good band. Good drinks. Nice atmosphere. Mixed crowd. Worth the visit for locals wanting a "speakeasy" type vibe with alternative music and for out of town-ers.

The bar is down stairs which is some what cool. The bar it self is dark and has a wood and black leather look for the style. I had 2 glasses of reisling and they were good. Apparently you can smoke inside which I did not like at all. Overall nothing too special about it. If your into drinking you will like the prices during happy hour.

$3 tequila shots!

I am rarely EVER downtown, so I hadn't heard about this place until last night. I was at an event across the street and a friend suggested that we go to Tanqueray afterwards. It is definitely a hole in the wall, er ground, but that is what I liked about it. That and the sign out front advertising $3 tequila shots :) It was small and dark, but not crowded. We were able to quickly get our drinks (tequila shots!) and found a little "room" hiding behind the bar that we quickly took over. We were able to hang out and talk without having to yell to hear each other. This is a major win in my book. I could have done without the smoke, but its just one of the things you have to deal with sometimes when you are going out.

It was my first time visiting here. After having a great night at a local concert venue I was welcomed with a middle finger and an invitation to never visit again. I don't think they will have to worry about that... To the bartender that flipped me off, I hope you feel gratified by a happily paying customer never feeling comfortable returning alongside your strong ever but not so subtle racism towards one of only 5 black people in your establishment. I appreciate the security actively and attentively listening. But the bar staff, particularly the 5'10 heavyset bartender with the beard not so much...

Stumbled across Tanqueray's looking for a drink before a concert at the Kia center. Great service, cheap drinks and lively crowd!

Downtown / Central Business District / CBD

I have never been in the bar but i can absolutely say their security is top tier. I had walked out…read moreof Gittos next door, waiting for an uber and my fiance was inside in the bathroom. A group of 6 men came up being inappropriate to me and the side bar bouncers instantly noticed and told me i could hang with them until my fiance came out. They were clearly aware of their surroundings, professional, and made a small 27 year old woman feel very safe!!! next time im in downtown Orlando i will be going to side bar just because of these men. I never got their names but to the two lovely and kind men outside side bar at 1 am on Friday may 2, you have my utmost respect and I hope whoever is the owner/manager sees this comment and recognizes that you're not only good people to your customers but also random girls on the street who are being harassed. I'm going to recommend this bar to every person I know whether it's guys or all girls on a night out because I know they'll be taken care of. Please give them a thank you for me if you see this.

Side Bar is a Downtown Orlando staple. I've been venturing to this little hole-in-the-wall bar for…read morenearly a decade now, and I've watched it grow in popularity over the years to what it is now. While it is nothing like it used to be back when Vintage, Vyce, and some of the older bars/night lounges existed, it is still a solid spot. It has also SURVIVED the various neighboring bar changes throughout the years. The bartenders, throughout the years, have also been quite solid! I have a couple of favorites that I always look for when I visit. Even the doormen are cool people. They have resident DJs that play throughout the week and weekends - all are pretty good! The vibe is usually pretty chill. The nights when they are slower are my favorite because they can get pretty packed. Service is usually pretty great. From time to time, they have specials/deals. They offer nice, fairly affordable mid-shelf (or top-shelf) drink options (as well as well-drink options). They also offer hookahs, if you are into that. Please keep in mind that if you have cash on you, you can get the hookah at a discounted rate. They have a decent number of TVs if you are looking to watch any games. As the name suggests, it is a "side" bar, so seating there is limited, but it does make for more than enough on slower days/nights. They have great hours, and you can also order food from Gitto's next door at the bar counter. All in all, it is a good spot to add to bar-hop rotation or to just visit in general.
