ORLANDO, Fla. – A well-known bar in downtown Orlando announced that it is set to close its doors permanently this month.
The bar — Tanqueray’s at 100 S. Orange Ave. — made the announcement on Friday via Facebook.
“The city has not been kind to the local bars in the downtown entertainment district since 2023, that have been in existence for a long time,” the post reads. “Tanqueray’s, specifically, for 37 years in March.”
The post also states that the building owner isn’t renewing the lease, forcing the owner to make the decision.

As such, the restaurant is slated to close on Dec. 31 — New Year’s Eve.
“I am humbled at the patronage our ‘regulars’ have participated in over the years, along with all the magnificent local musicians that have performed at our venue,” the post continues. “Your continued support has made Tanq’s an exceptional live music destination for many years.”
