Orlando, Florida
Downtown Orlando's queer nightclub for drag, Latin nights, and dancing.
Downtown Orlando's premier LGBTQ+ nightclub arrived in late 2024 with a clear mission: to create a safe, vibrant, and unapologetically queer space in the heart of the city. Built to fill a real void in Central Florida's gay nightlife scene, Anthem has wasted no time becoming the area's flagship destination — drawing both locals and visitors through its doors night after night. The space is designed for full sensory immersion, with state-of-the-art lighting, concert-level sound, multiple bars, and a dancefloor that stays electric well into the early hours. Programming runs the gamut from drag shows and themed parties to Latin nights and community fundraisers, with something going on every single night of the week. Whether you're there for the spectacle or just to dance, Anthem delivers.
