Southern Nights Orlando in Orlando

An establishment where you can receive and preform oral s**, and take drugs in the rest rooms, but get kicked out if you take off your under 21 wristband.

Had the best night last night! The city I am from does not have any women nights so it was nice to be in an environment surrounded by so many people I could relate to. I will def be back soon!

I love coming here! I feel so accepted and I always have a good time! Amazing staff too!

DO NOT GO HERE. Imagine you are with your friend, she got too drunk and the security guard PUTS HIS HANDS on WOMEN in the BATHROOM of a CLUB. WHO ALLOWS SHT LIKE THAT? The security guard with short locs put his hands on us and all the other security didnt do sht. The police outside didnt do sht. THIS PLACE ISNT A SAFE SPACE FOR WOMEN. & all on "girls night" too? bullsht!

The worst place Ive ever been. I will never go back and advise you not to go. very rudes all the employees of the place.

They kicked for accidentally knocking someone’s plastic cup drink over and they made me pay for it which I had no problem paying for it because it was my fault so I wanted to pay for it and the person didn’t mind either he was really nice! But the server was rude. The way she approached me was like “Hey Hey you need to chill”. “You’re paying for the drink” which was fine. It was an honest accident. The cup was right next the the lime slices cups and I didn’t really see it. So honestly her facial expression and attitude was rude. So that I didn’t tip her then she called the security guards to kick us out! And also I ask him what’s the reason to kick us out and he didn’t say anything he just said that you know why! And I was like no sir I don’t know why can you just tell me and he wouldn’t tell me! He was just saying you want to do it the hard way or the easy way so I like like nvm we are gonna leave! They didn’t even let us finish our last beer. It’s not like I knocked someone’s drink over to start a fight but it was just an honest mistake. I knock things over all the times even if I’m 100% sober. But how they approached us made us feel like we’re violent. “You want to leave the hard way cuz we can do that if you don’t leave” said. We were having a good time with people there I was actually buying people drinks we all were laughing and having a good time until the moment I went to get more drinks and accidentally knocked someone’s cup over. They treated us like we’re criminals. I tip the bartender inside $30 just for a few drinks.

Terrible bar terrible service lance the bartender I believe his name was, misheard our drink and told me “you are acting a fool” and that my friend and I were “coming at him” when We tried to correct him politely. The manager then called me “aggressive” for stepping in front of him because he was ignoring me, just go to southern nights in Tampa better vibes and better people.

Best club in town! If you are planning to go, expect a hangover on the next day.

Impolite, unprofessional and not a place to visit if you want to have a great time!P.S even on week days, its impossible to find parking.Visited on Tuesday night for drag show. Got charged for entrance and they had a 15$ ALL YOU CAN DRINK.Our friend got sick and went to the restroom politely because they felt dizzy/ nauseus. A dark skinned guy, and another guy with beard walked in to the restroom we were at AND OPENED OUR BATHROOM DOOR?!!!!! yelling that we could not be at the restroom if my friend was going to be sick... First of all, respect privacy and dont dare to open someones bathroom door, second... We paid entrance and we were not making any mess. We were actually being polite by feeling nauseus and approaching the restrooms to prevent any further inconvenients..... A guy friend hopped in trying to speak to them to allow us to be at the restroom for a moment, and the guy just yelled at him and pushed our door back opened. Will not be visiting again 👎

Girl the Party is the best place to be on a Saturday night! Strong drinks and the events are entertaining. Barhopping to switch up the vibe makes it all the better.

My friend and me were waiting in the line for the bathroom. What looked like a bouncer came in and started banging on the stall door yelling for the people in the stall to exit. FOUR PEOPLE (1 women and 3 menall in ONE handicap stall, all came out. The women claimed she was having trouble putting her tampon in, and that’s why she took long to exit the stall. Next my friend asked me to hold the door, while she used the bathroom. I held the door closed. The “ bouncer “ waited until we were finished and out of the bathroom. 1 minutes later another bouncer stated she needed to leave because she broke the stall door. We were very confused and wanted to speak to the person who claimed she broke the door. I was first hand witness that this did not happen. But they refused to speak to us. Which I also thought was very unprofessional. They told us they were going to get OPD ( Orlando police department involved which I didn’t care because I knew 100% she did not do anything. They told us once again we could not speak to the person who claimed this lie. Who we ended up finding out was the Manager of the facility. How do 4 people come out of one stall and are not questioned but given an APOLOGY for getting them out of the stall, but one women alone get kicked out and blamed. Then threatening her with police just because she wanted to have a conversation about what was going on. She has been a loyal customer for 3 years and I’m very sad to say that a place she enjoyed has now become a place where she feels embarrassed because of being escorted out for something she didn’t do. I think this situation could have been handled better.

Giving three starts because the bartenders,dj and customer service inside was amazing, hell even the people I meet were lovely.Your security on the other hand are extremely rude,not only as a trans person I felt unsafe but my hard of hearing husband had to deal with the security guard mocking,screaming and insulting him during the line outside,All because he asked what the guard was saying between all the noise.Educate your staff,not every disability is visible!!!DEAF PEOPLE EXIST

Bartenders are friendly, performances are fun, other than that, this place isn’t worth my time or your time. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. They need to clean up, and get a professional staff.

I really really enjoyed my time at Southern nights!! The music was fantastic, cocktails good and fair prices and theres was also a nice entertaining show during the night! I have particularly enjoyed the outdoor spade, the DJ was insane!!!Highly recommended!!

One of my most favorite places to be. Been missing it since I have no ride as soon as I can get a safe ride round-trip Im on my way. - Dancing with Cane Pikachu.

I have been going here for almost 10 years now and have never had a bad experience.Unfortunately, that changed Monday night. Ramon (bartenderput me on the list to get in along with two of my friends. When we got to the door, the person working it said “well, since you’re not paying to get in, you can put it in my tip jar.” Feeling pressured, I did.Then, as my other friends came in behind me, they took their admission and instead of putting it in the register, they put it in their tip jar.There was another person behind the person working the door. They were holding a tip bucket and said to me “oh, so you’re going to tip her and not me?”We tip the performers, we tip the bartenders, and we’re happy to pay admission to the club. What bothers me is when someone tries to con me and also steals from their work place right in front of me. It honestly makes me not want to go back. People come to be accepted and to have fun. Not to have a bad experience before they even enter.

Horrible experience!We got our phone stolen (pickpocket), very unhelpful and rude staff, when we try to ask for it.Reading previous reviews, seems like there’s a lot of phones stolen in this place. Makes the business appear like they are in on the pickpocketing.Definitely not coming back.

Terrible! Ive been pickpocket in that place, someone opened my shoulder bag, took the phone and turned it off to no be able to find it. I asked for a bunch employees if someone found it and all I had it was a "No" and "Pickpocket has happened before here" as an answer with no effort to helping me finding it.

Love the club. Not happy that the show stage has not been open. Now they shove everyone on the dance floor.Hard to enjoy drag shows now.

Clean and cool vibe with a collage of photos all around the walls.

Just got thrown out by the bouncer at the entrance of district cove because it was 21+ and my friends and I left as soon as we noticed. He stopped us AS WE WERE LEAVING and PHYSICALLY (basically violentlythrew us out as him and his “girls” were threatening to get physically violent with us, as in literally punch us.I will be pursuing further legal action towards the bouncer for getting unreasonably violent and the club for allowing a minority to be oppressed.I’ll be adding the selling of alcohol to minors as I literally saw countless young ladies with Xs on their hands consuming. Also witnessed the consumption and got OFFERED cocaine at the bathroom stall.I apologize for contributing to this violent establishment, it may be the only gay bar in Orlando, but it is NOT worth getting violently harassed by the own bar. Just a note to people wondering about the environment of the place.

Finding parking is a mess, the line wrapped around the parking lot and it was a $10 cover to get in . Security was okay and bartenders were nice. The ambience was pretty full I most say and the music was not bad. To watch a drag show you had to squeeze through to get in the room because there was so many people. Just don’t expect to meet people if you go alone seems like the crowd is mostly clicky and have their own gang of friends… other than that 3/5 .

Absolutely disgusting place. My daughter was roufied... by a BARTENDER and her debit card was skimmed and used for $1200 in Uber rides.

Music, music, music! Though it was the coldest damn Saturday night of the year, and there was a long line up, staff moved us along quite well. Could have sworn the adverts said no cover but no problem, the DJ slayed ~ great tracks and mixes, drinks were on point, $10 is not a lot, and remember to tip the staff. Lots of space inside, multiple bars with a good sized dance floor. Drag show was pretty standard and the themes for various nights of the week looked dope. Look, its not the slickest place on earth but Orlando aint Dubai so if you want to dance and be around LGBTQ peeps, you should be happy ~ Ive been in the clubbing business for 25 years and danced my heels off. Thanks SN!

Their cleaning staff shoved me and then tried to get my friend kicked out. The show was pretty bad too, the one guy looks more like a bird man than a drag queen? Not worth the cover and honestly not a safe space. The staff needs some sensitivity training or something.

ian is the best bartender in the history of planet earth. above & beyond service, if youre in orlando come to C&S & leave a tip, hardest working & friendliest bartenders in all of orlando!! -frog hat guy aka Yoshi PS: shoutout ian for the awesomeness

So, after paying $10 for parking to get in the door you get to walk down what looks like an abandoned back entrance to pay another $10 to get in the door. I was greeted by a security/door personnel who were very rude to me. The place isn’t taken care of very well at all. The club was packed with no concern for fire safety or the fact that that we are still in a pandemic. The owner is raking in money off of the backs of the gay community while the employees, bartenders, dancers and drag queens get paid minimum. Finally, if you look at their Facebook there is absolutely zero fundraising going on which is not in correspondence with what the LGBT community does.Before stuck up security/the door personnel treat patrons so badly you need to make Sure that you follow proper sanitation guidelines and your floors aren’t wet.I read you and I wrote you,Yours Truly,@TheRealShadyPines!

My iPhone was stolen (pickpocketedhere. The staff was unhelpful and seemed unwilling to assist. Some staff advised no phones were turned in while one of the bartenders did have phones. Another person got their phone stolen the same night as well. I filed a police report accordingly and provided the serial and IMEI number.I felt as though the staff here were dismissive over mine and others concerns. I also called several times and no one answers during, before, or after operating hours. Makes the business appear like they are in on the pickpocketing. After reading further reviews it appears phone theft is a thing at this establishment. I will not be returning.

still fuming at the fact that I was racially profiled tonight for literally doing nothing. They pat me down because they thought I stole a phone, I was having fun hanging out with my friends when the bouncer and the person checking ids at the front called me out out of nowhere to check my bags and pockets in front of everyone in line. Absolutely embarrassing on their behalf because one of the bouncers literally said they didn’t even have to pat me down. This level of unprofessionalism shouldn’t go unnoticed and I don’t know if they’re gonna do anything about this, but this is my first and last time coming here. although the bartenders and drag queens were absolutely amazing, it’s a shame the bouncers are absolute trash .

I love creature feature and black haus but miss when it was at Stonewall it was so much better. That being said, this was my first time going out since the start of the pandemic on Nov 9th. I unfortunately had to cancel my credit card because it got hacked so It was unfortunately a no tipping night other than what I purchased on card at the first bar. :( I bought all you can drink from Anthony who is AMAZING. So sweet, excellent service, asks if a drink needs anything before you leave….. me and my friends moved outside to the patio. 40 min to close I asked the outside bar tender a girl with long thick curls for one last fourth drink and she refused. She said I needed to go back inside and get it from whoever I tipped because I hadn’t given her a single dollar and had ordered “too many drinks” when I bought all you can drink. I’m a barista, so I get it. I said I hear you, but I explained the situation thinking that would change things and cause her to be nicer. She said no just go inside in an annoyed tone, counting more ones in front of me than I’ve ever been tipped as a barista and walked away from me chosing to no longer bother with someone who paid for unlimited drinks. I was so embarrassed in front of my friends she absolutely ruined my night and I left crying. I was going back next week and would have tipped her then, (did not go because screw her and a company that doesn’t apologize to me when I complain).when I alerted Southern Night on a private DM they said nothing so I guess I’m leaving a public review and not going back.

Guy bartenders there are the worst especially the guy with the blonde hair. Rude and unprofessional most of them. They completely ignore you at times. Mostly the female bartenders are the nice one. Too bad it’s only spot for lesbian night

Great place for drag comedy brunch. Stiff drinks and all gendered bathrooms. Stop in for a bit and hang with the fine folks behind the bar, you will be happy you did.

October 9 2021: A person I know was overserved tonight and went missing. Their phone was given to us by staff members after we waited outside until 4am tonight because they never came out of the club. Turns out they left in a stretcher and ambulance… when we asked a staff member about our missing friend, we were told “They’re a grown adult and can handle themselves, call them if you’re so worried” as we’re holding the only line of communication to them… that your staff gave back… after overserving him and escorting him out in an ambulance. Yes, grown adults are responsible for themselves but this person was freshly 21, didn’t know this club over served, and it would’ve been nice to know “yeah, someone left in an ambulance tonight”. Yes, we saw the ambulance but we never got to see the person on the stretcher.Also a few weeks ago I asked for a cup of water, and when I was charged for a bottle, I asked the bartender for a free cup of water and they said “don’t come to a club if you don’t bring cash.” …excuse me, I was DDing that night and have issues with alcohol and finances, if I had my wallet there I would’ve had an alcoholic drink, or more…yes, it’s an adult being responsible! I had the cash to tip the bartender but I just went to another bar and got it /:

I’ve only been here twice. Halloween, and a few days ago. Both times were actually pretty good. My 1 star review comes from the fact that I just got a notification that my tip was updated on my card from $3 for two drinks to $24 😂 two days later. I didn’t leave with an open tab and I didn’t do anything to be charged extra. So I guess I’ll have to call my bank and dispute the charge. Who even does that

Normally a great place to be, but staff needs sensitivity training. My Black trans friend was singled out on Halloween and told not to bring her prop in, when many others, including a person with the EXACT same prop, were allowed. She has also been misgendered many times. Do better.

Our hostess Lulu who I spoke with throughout the planning of this event made false promises on the services that we paid for. She charged me 200$ to personally decorate our section with a bachelorette theme and what we got was nothing compared to the inspiration picture that Lulu Cavalli provided. It looks like it was a few balloons left over from another nights event. Not only that, but then at the end of the night tried to over charge us 155$ for mixers that she originally said we’re included with our so called bottle service. We did not get the services we paid for and it honestly feels like Lulu tried to scam us not only once but twice in one night. I’m not sure if you’re venue usually conducts business this way but I will be reporting this to the better business bureau and the state attorney if need be. Hopefully they can help me with my refund that it rightfully deserve!

This place it’s amazing the bartenders, staff, drinks and crowd are always great the only reason I am giving 3 stars is because the music is wack they need a variety I understand is house music but you can play a couple of different song like hip hop and Latin music. Other than that great place and great environment.

It’s a nice place, cheap drinks and good vibe! They play techno/electronic music all night long, and it’s a crowded place, too many people. I feel safe there

One of the best places in Orlando to go for the lgbtq community. Amazing atmosphere, great nightly and weekly drink specials and quick bar staff. Also its like having 4 bars in one if you utilize all the space they provide. Every show is amazing here as well with phenomenal performers!

Went with a friend who had Never been. He fell outside in front of the food truck busting his eyebrow bleeding badly. Thanks to the food worker who gave us bottled water so we could entry. The sidewalk has a dip in it that caused his fall, Told door person , they could care less. Told my bartender "Juan " and he gave us our first drink. Thanks Juan! It meant al lot to me. We had to leave due to the injury and didnt get to see the 10pm show. Greg please do something with the sidewalk before theres another person gets hurt like my friend did.

Had a wonderful time both afternoons and at night! Love the fact that there are different areas. Main bar with games, pool table. Lance was a friendly and sweet bartender. Patio area for dancing under the stars, Club area for indoor dancing and Two stages for drag shows.

I used to be a regular at this place and I am sad and disappointed to say that I will never step a foot in this place. The Queens are rude to everyone in the club. I was trying to deescalate a situation and one of the Drag Queens named Axel Andrews hit me in the head with a microphone twice while he was on stage. I guess he didn’t recognize his own strength but I had to go to the hospital and I was told I had a concussion. Nothing was done about the situation. The manager sounded like he didn’t care. He told me that he will have Axel apologize to me but he never called me. Honestly, I was a huge fan of Axel and I felt like I didn’t deserve to be hit with a microphone. I can’t believe that this place treats the people like this. Save yourself the money and don’t go if you don’t want to get into a situation with any of the staff here.

My first time at a venue like this and I loved it!! The hosts were warm the music was really good! Great deal on drinks, wonderful entertainment.

The negative reviews on this place are accurate. Bartenders are hella rude. They suppose to promote acceptance and equality especially after the pulse tragedy, but they don’t. Beware of your tab. The bartender will over charge you and add their own tips. That’s how they get the drunk folks. I had to start a claim with my bank because the bartender added an additional 20 dollars to my tab for tips. Mind you, after I had already tipped her. My bank advice me to make a police report and I will be doing just that. Sketchy and just not worth it. Beware, beware, beware!!!

Nice club and easy location to get to. Saturday’s Girl Party is packed. The techno music sucks but the music with dancers is good. Definitely an 18-23yo crowd but don’t let that hold you back if you are older like me. Bartenders have tasty drink options if I are not doing alcohol. Bring singles for Saturday girl party.

Went here for the first time last weekend and had a great time! The people are super friendly and the atmosphere is fun, nice air conditioning inside and big open patio with a separate DJ and bar outside.Giving it 4 stars because I bought a bottle of water and the bartender decided to fill out the rest of receipt with a 100% tip. Thats what I get for not filling it out all the way, I guess, but watch out for that ✌

Yesterday was my first time ever visiting Southern Nights. I had always heard so many good things and had been invited by a girl friend of mine to Lesbian Night. We arrived around 9:00 p.m. and stayed until 1:00 a.m.Throughout the night, I had visited a few bars and ordered a beer each time. I understand that it would be easier and more convenient to open a tab as opposed to running my card each time, but I was unsure if each time was the last drink I’d be getting for the night. I frequented the bar on the outside patio, just across from the craft bar entrance and connected to the drag theatre. It was being operated by a younger, male bartender in a gray shirt with strawberry blonde highlights. Ordering a Bud Light each time came to a subtotal of $3.20. I would then add a tip of $0.80. (Doesn’t sound like a lot, but more than the customary 18-20%Upon ordering for the third time, the bartender handed me my receipt to sign and said, very abruptly, “please don’t even leave a tip, the $0.80 is just an insult to be honest.” I asked him to repeat himself in case I misunderstood, and he did. I did as he said, signed my receipt, and left.I tried to enjoy the rest of the night, but it was ruined. Watching the drag show, all I remember is his comment and disdain as he looked at me. Rude comments like this aren’t to be expected, especially “in the family” at a LGBTQ+ space.

Everyone is welcome and celebrated at this spot. Some gay bars will serve certain genders before others, but I have never had that issue here. Girl The Party on Saturday nights is the best in town. If you want to be seen, this is where you need to go. Bartenders are super nice, especially on the back patio where the atmosphere is super chill. What I like most about the venue is that there are so many rooms and corners for you to explore that you wont get bored.

Great music, diverse crowd, had a lot of fun, Im a straight guy who went with a group of friends on lesbian night (Sat night). Drinks were strong, staff was friendly, place was clean, overall i was very impressed. Had many cool shows and police presence was very strong, inside and outside if the venue which made me feel very at ease. Highly recommend.

More than one star for the dance floor only. The bartender was absolutely horrible. There are minimums I expect from a bartender, like knowing how to handle a crowd, and it was not possible. It is unfortunate that this can’t be done. I was passed by multiple times for people that were obviously his friends, and he carried on conversations with. Additionally, when I asked to close my tab, he walked away to help other people. It was clear he was upset that I was leaving after two drinks. I felt my credit card was being held hostage. If you go here, bring cash. I do not think I’ll ever be going back. So sad that what was once such an amazing gay bar in Orlando has gone south so quick.
