Rewind Wednesdays at Anthem Orlando — Throwback Night in Downtown Orlando

Miss the days when the music just hit different? Rewind Wednesdays at Anthem Orlando brings back the best tracks from the decades that shaped us — all in one of the best venues in downtown Orlando. If you love throwback music, great drink specials, and a midweek vibe that actually delivers, this is your night.

What Is Rewind Wednesdays?

Every Wednesday from 3 PM to midnight, Anthem Orlando turns back the clock with Rewind Wednesdays. This is the throwback night downtown Orlando has been craving — a weekly celebration of the music, the culture, and the energy from the eras that made nightlife what it is today.

Think 80s new wave, 90s dance hits, 2000s pop bangers, and everything in between. If it made you dance at some point in your life, there’s a good chance you’ll hear it on a Rewind Wednesday.

Why Rewind Wednesdays Is a Must

  • The music. Anthem’s DJs curate throwback sets that go deep — not just the obvious hits, but the tracks that make you say “oh my god, I haven’t heard this in years!” From Madonna to Destiny’s Child, from Whitney to Britney, from house classics to hip-hop anthems, the playlists are crafted with care and nostalgia.
  • Whiskey & Wine Wednesday. The drink specials are built around whiskey and wine — $5 wines, $6 Jack & Jameson, and other rotating specials that make a midweek night out feel like a no-brainer. Full menu on our drinks page.
  • Early start. Doors open at 3 PM — one of the earliest starting nights in downtown Orlando. Come straight from work, catch the sunset, and let the throwback vibes carry you in.
  • Showtime performances. Rewind Wednesdays often features live showtime moments around 9 PM — drag sets, guest performers, and the occasional surprise that keeps things interesting. First time seeing a drag show? Read Drag 101: A First-Timer’s Guide before you come.
  • No cover. Free entry. 21+ with valid ID.
