The last time I came here I had a great time. It has been awhile. I came tonight after an early shift with a buddy of mine who said this establishment had a special on PBR for $3 last time he visited. That difference was I was actually paying. Not him. He waited at the bar for a female bartender that recognized his face from a previous experience. The first thing she said when he walked up was “oh, you’re here with your three dollars again?” Which I felt was extremely disrespectful as I am in the service industry myself. I will not be returning. This is a perfect example on how to NOT make money. Very disappointed 🙁

Best bar ever!!!!!! This bar truly captures the essence of a dive bar. You actually have to go down to reach the bar. It is nice price drinks and great music. I have been going here for years and even after the pandemic the prices barely change. You cannot get any better than this place with the drinks. This is the REAL dive bar.

I come down here about three times a year. Most of the time, Ive had a great experience, but last night I came by with some of my best friends. We sat down at a table in the corner. As soon as we sat down, I tried moving the light out of my face because the light was positioned directly at my eye. The female bartender with glasses came up to us and rudely exclaimed that we could not mess with the lights and that there was a drink minimum. For all of my years of coming here, Ive never heard of there being a drink minimum just to sit down. I was not even allowed to explain why I had moved the light. I ordered a round for my friends, and the drinks were okay. I felt as though she could have been kind; her attitude was completely unjust. She continued to be passively aggressive throughout the entire night, so we ended up leaving. To the lady, maybe you were having a bad day; maybe some circumstances outside of your job were affecting you. Hopefully, you have better days. To the male with a sick pompadour. Thank you for being kind.

I love the vibe of tanqueray. Its the only issue I have with it is that its smokey down there. Which borderlines stuffy. If have allergies do not go here. Other than that they usually have a live band with music playing and the service is good.

Tanqueray’s made me feel like a College Freshman again and living in this rat race we call life it wasn’t a bad thing. It’s an underground bar with daily live music and some reasonably price drink specials. It’s a cozy basement party kind of atmosphere where the lights are dim. If you look at my photos and videos everything inside is pretty much dark.There was one problem I had and it didn’t affect my review because I knew ahead of time...smoking is allowed in this establishment. It wasn’t bad at first but the later it got the more I began to worry about the 2nd hand smoke and that was about an hour before closing, and honestly if the band didn’t take a break, I probably wouldn’t have noticed the smoke, the band was that good. I’m going to be honest we walked out of there smelling like we smoked 20 packs of cigarettes but we walked out feeling happy and hungry on the hunt for food...just like those fun old college days.

A long tenured estaishment in Orlando; underground hole in the wall vibes. Intimate setting with two dart boards. But the real highlight here is they are the only bar in downtown Orlando that plays live music every single night of the week. With some great bands as well. Usually they post their monthly line up on Instagram for viewing. Definitely worth a visit. Warning, they dont serve food and they DO allow smoking. Nothing to extreme but it may bother some. Cheers ! 🍻

Down some flight of stairs. Definition of a drive bar. Really strange older music - i put money in the jute box. And made request Because it was so bad. I think someone was requesting songs on phone. I liked playing darts. You need cash for darts. Bar tenders were nice. Bathrooms were ok. Very chill feel -drinks 7-10$

Tanquerays is the kind of bar that has a local feel to it, even though its in the heart of downtown Orlando. The location is prime, the music is always incredible, the bartenders and staff are a perfect fit, and the drinks, of course, are top notch.Its a staple and a must-visit bar.Warning: its intimate and smoky, the way a good basement bar should be.

My husband loves dive bars so I joined him on a Friday for happy hour. The prices are so cheap at 50% off your bill! The bartenders are so nice! We went back later and I could not handle the smoke. So if you’re like me and are cool with dives but not the smoke, go early.

Best place downtown, I choose 1-10$ bc it is that PER DRINK which is nothing, happy hour mon-fri 5-8p 1/2 off damn near everything, live music every night at 1030.... It is downstairs (underground) in a historic building so there are no elevators or ramps and it is still smoking allowed.

Review №24

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.

First time visiting Downtown Orlando, and this place was phenomenal! Such an amazing vibe and great musicians playing the night I went.

Strong pours, great mixed cocktail knowledge and bartenders. Live music every night at 10:30, always great music. They have a dart room and a couple other games. Basement bar, cigarettes allowed inside, but they have a nice filtration system that pulls the smoke out, so its usually not smokey. Happy hour is half off nearly everything from 5-8 Mon-Fri.

If you are looking for amazing instrumental jams and reasonable drink prices, look no further. I consistently hear great music at this place and it keeps me coming back.I would give this place five stars as an overall rating because there isnt any other place like this in Orlando (decor service and atmosphere isnt what really make the place)

Visited the area on a Monday night and this was our first stop, after strolling around and seeing the other bars we decided to come back. Great atmosphere, felt more like Cheers than a night club which is an awesome feel these days.Our bartender Dave was the best, very nice and great conversation. They were following the protocols very well, in spite of the inebriated customers trying to balk it.I’ll be coming back every time I’m in town, it’s that good of a place.

Love this place. I try to go on Mondays with my girls after pole class. The live reggae band starts at 10 and bartenders are also cool. Only thing is they allow smoking inside which Im not a fan of wish they didnt have that...but Ill still go and some days its less smoky than others.

If you like dive bars, Tanquerays will seem akin to heaven. Its hard to find establishments that have withstood the test of time, but its 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. Youll be hard pressed to find drinks priced as reasonably as they are here in the downtown area.And as if all of that wasnt good enough, the happy hour (Monday to Friday from 5pm to 8pm) is one of if not the best Ive ever been to in the world. 50% off your bar tab? Seriously? Dont mind if I do. (Some restrictions apply)If you havent been here yet, please do yourself a favour and visit.

If you want a chill spot with great live music you cant do better than Tanquerays. 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.

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.

Love these guys! The BEST bartenders right here. This place takes me back to NYC except you can SMOKE here!! Also- if you ran out of or lost your pack in your drunkeness? They SELL cigs, too! It is a great mixture of people & i want to say that theres always live music. The bands are ALWAYS great! Its my favorite bar in Orlando, hands down. Nothing else can compare to it. 💓

Review №50

This location is kind of cool because it reminded me of a college basement party. This place is pretty small and cozy. Drinks are reasonably priced as well. The downside to that basement party feel is that all the smoke is stuck in down there. Whether you smoke or not you will come out smelling like you killed a pack or two.

The best music in town is always underground!!!This is one of my favorite places in Orlando. I am a musician and the bands that play here are the A-Team of Orlando musicians. The service is excellent and the atmosphere is intimate. If you love good drinks and great music, this should be your first stop. Live music 7 days a week from 10:30pm till 2am & the best Bartenders in Orlando!!!

Review №53

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

Love this place. I wouldnt recommend this place for families. Its definitely for adults. Its pretty cool because you have to go downstairs in order to get to the bar. And theres also live music on certain days. It is a small place and can get crowded but it also keeps it feeling a little bit more authentic and less commercial.

Super rad grunge bar, always have great local bands play (Monday reggae nights is where its at!). Most of the bartenders are super attentive to your thirsty needs and are down to earth.

First bar Ive been to thats in a basement. Spent a good 30 seconds trying to find it before I realized I was right on top of it and needed to look down. Great sound system, quality subwoofer.

Review №64

If you are looking for a consistently authentic, dive bar/neighborhood bar with live music, cheap drinks, and patrons who are all gathered together to just enjoy their time, walk down the steps and in to this spot. Its unpolished, rough around the edges, light hearted, music filled, and FUN. I live in New Orleans part time and this is as close as I get to feeling the neighorhoody vibe there when I am back home in Orlando. Expect to smell smoke or be around smokers. And truthfully... its part of what makes this place, this place. Enjoy!

Review №66

I wanted to enjoy myself because I’m new in Orlando. I have a service dog and unfortunately they were saying they couldn’t accept me. I always have my paper work on me just in case I deal with people like Heath make people like me feel different. I was discriminated even though I had valid documents. I showed him my service animals valid ID and still was kicked out. I simply wanted to have a good time. It is only 5pm. I should not have to be treated any different. That’s is discrimination. I will take this further. This is not at all okay.

You gotta tip. You’ve been sitting at the bar by yourself and that’s why he wasn’t serving you again is because you didn’t tip him”The bartenders demand tips or else they deny you service. They will ignore you and wont take any other drink orders and will even tell you to your face they will ignore you unless you tip.Feels like theyd even have you booted if you dont tip.I honestly just wanted one drink then decided i wanted a second one and I tip at the END of experiencing someones service. They mean mugged me into tipping anyway when I wanted to close out.I loved this place but I guess the people who work here arent as nice as I thought they were.

Best place for real music. Blues rock, electric jazz and mean funk. What I call seasoned road band music and not the typical local cover band attempting to replicate a jukebox. Sorry, local cover bands. They have a powerful filtration system constantly pulling up any exhaled smoke. More of what I have seen only looks like smoke as it is vapor from e-cigs and not real smoke. Sorry complaining disneyite brownshirt types, the two are not remotely similar, learn some science before going on your social engineering crusades.

Tanquerays is the best place to go to downtown! Strong drinks, great staff and some of the most talented musicians that the local Orlando music scene has to offer- live every night!
