Anthem is a new LGBTQ-owned nightclub and events venue inside the historic Dolive Building at 100 North Orange Ave, Orlando FL 32801. We open later this year with one goal: give you a place where the music hits hard, the drinks move fast, and every identity feels welcome.
Why Orlando, Why Now
- Orlando welcomed 75.3 million visitors in 2024, the most of any U.S. city. Visit Orlando
- 81 percent of those trips were leisure, so nightlife matters. MyNews13
- 5.4 percent of Floridians identify as LGBTQ+, pooling $40.5 billion in personal income. Out Leadership
- City planners updated downtown codes to raise safety standards and simplify nightclub approvals, clearing the way for better-run venues. City of Orlando
Put simply, the audience is here and the city wants safer options. Anthem meets both needs.
