Orlando Gay Bars & Nightclubs


Orlando has a variety of gay and lesbian bars that range from neighborhood bar to pulsating dance clubs. While most visitors will hit the better know clubs like Parliament House, Pulse, Revolution and Savoy, some of the smaller ones appeal to different groups and interests. There are also downtown Orlando bars that are gay friendly but not ready to witness 2 men or women kiss or hold hands. I will share that list at the bottom of the page.

Important Note: Orlando Bars stop serving at 2 pm and their are no after hours clubs.

Last Note: During Gay Days the regular schedule is likely to change.
