The 7 Best Jazz Clubs in Orlando

Tanqueray’s

Look for the green awning on the corner of Orange and Pine and head downstairs to this cozy local hot secret, a staple in the downtown scene since 1989. It’s like being in your best friend’s basement, only with the soulful sounds of sax. What once housed a bank vault is now one of the only places in the city to catch live music seven nights a week, without a cover charge. Tanqueray’s mimics a dive bar but this top pick serves up a wide selection of drafts, some stiff drinks and the area’s best local musicians.

Bösendorfer Lounge

Of course, one would expect to be impressed by the sounds of the Imperial Grand Bösendorfer Piano, of which the lounge is named. Housed in the Grand Bohemian Hotel, it’s not just hotel guests who flock to the sexy lounge for Friday and Saturday night jazz. Well-heeled locals can be found kicking back in the dim lights on plush sofas, listening to the sultry sounds and sipping chi-chi craft cocktails after a long week at work.

The Abbey

Located on the ground floor of the Sanctuary, a luxury high-rise residence, The Abbey is known for bringing in great music in a comfortable setting. Although it showcases more than jazz, with everything hard rock to cabaret, the open, modern décor and full-service bar make it a great downtown destination.
