One of fav downtown spots. Bartenders awesome. Live music. Def worth checking out.
To be one of only 5 maximum black patrons and to be flipped off for asking “excuse me” is a really daunting experience... Thankfully there are much more welcoming venues in the area… to the bearded bartender at the front of the bar, I hope you have a change of heart and are a better bartender in general. God bless.
If you want a chill spot with great live music you can't do better than Tanqueray's. Been coming here for years and it never disappoints. If someone came from out of town and wanted to see downtown and I could only take them to one bar, it would hands down be Tanquerays all day every day.
Favorite bar in Orlando!! The band and the energy there was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend to anyone passing through or living in Orlando. Good drinks for a great price and the bouncer is hilarious! Honestly can’t say enough about how awesome this place is!!
If you like dive bars, Tanqueray's will seem akin to heaven. It's hard to find establishments that have withstood the test of time, but it's easy to see why these guys have been around for over 30 years -- the oldest of any bar in Downtown Orlando. The history behind the location only adds to the marvel of the place. You'll be hard pressed to find drinks priced as reasonably as they are here in the downtown area.And as if all of that wasn't good enough, the happy hour (Monday to Friday from 5pm to 8pm) is one of if not the best I've ever been to in the world. 50% off your bar tab? Seriously? Don't mind if I do. (Some restrictions apply)If you haven't been here yet, please do yourself a favour and visit.
I don’t know that I’ve ever had a better time at a bar in my life - and I’ve spent a lot of time in bars all over the world. This place has a vibe all of its own, and it’s truly something special. The staff, the musicians, the other patrons - everything just fell into place and created an experience that I hope to capture again sometime. The intimacy of the room, the phenomenal quality of the music (last night it was Ancient Sun - I have no words to describe these guys), the smokiness, the lighting, the little nooks and crannies where sounds and smells gather - it’s all there.I’m begging you to go to this place and see live music. I will never forget this place, and if you go, neither will you. Thank you for giving me such an unexpected and amazing time here during my visit to Orlando. I live in CA and may come back just to go to this bar and see more live music. It’s honestly that good of a place.
Haven’t been in 15 years and my, how it has changed for the worse. The bartender made the worst old fashioned cocktails any of us ever tasted. When we asked for replacements he replied “ that’s how I was taught to make them, too bad” and refused to replace them. He seemed like a complete and total amateur. None of our group will return ever again. Lesson learned it has totally gone downhill

First time visiting Downtown Orlando, and this place was phenomenal! Such an amazing vibe and great musicians playing the night I went. The bar staff was attentive and very nice, and the building itself was such a cool spot. Definitely recommended to all my friends and I can't wait to stop by again, we spent the whole night here!
