Drinks & Nightlife

Live sports, music and theater are downtown Orlando’s top draws. Part of Parramore District, the Kia Center hosts the NBA’s Orlando Magic, ECHL’s Orlando Solar Bears, and a galaxy of musical acts and entertainment. Nearby, Camping World Stadium brings major sports events and national concert tours to West lakes Market Street District.

For national touring productions, secure seats at Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts. This majestic, multi-theater venue boasts the acoustically remarkable Steinmetz Hall and intimate Judson’s Live, plus other spaces, attracting top talent from all over the world.

And that is just the start of what the city’s core has to offer. You will also find nightclubs and lounges galore, intimate venues that attract an eclectic musical mix, and sweeping views of all the action at AC Sky Bar, part of AC Hotel by Marriott Downtown Orlando.

Head further out to discover other authentic neighborhoods. Try Audubon Park Garden District for karaoke and a pioneering microbrewery.
