Savoy

So terribly smokey. There is a nice outdoor patio out back, so I’m not sure why they allow smoking inside.

I was here once for my birthday and I was not too excited for this place. I love a great dance club/​bar scene in my taste of going out. My friends took me here as a nice birthday treat. The bartenders and dancers were fun. Not too much to do or explore in this little place. I am not a bar person, so this was not up my alley so to speak. I wanted a dance floor to get my dance on, but this place did not deliver.
The rooms are small, smoking is allowed inside, drinks were cheap, great location, and the patrons were ok. I just was not impressed with this place. Maybe I am too old or overly social to be in a place like this. I won’t be back here and I do not recommend coming here. Unless you want a cheap drink in a small place, then this place is for you.

I wish their rooms were more connected and open. Cheap, weak $ 2 «hot shots». This is a place to start your night…

Maybe coming on a Wednesday wasn’t the best choice. The bartenders weren’t so friendly and it felt like the AC was off. The guys were ok if your type is the semi-​muscular jock, but if your type is different you’re out of luck. The drinks were good, and their specials are good. Maybe I’ll try to come back on a Friday night and the AC might be on.

If your looking for a classy gay club this ain’t it! The space is old fashioned and unflattering! Although the bartenders are great and good looking! Love the dancers and the overall staff!

If it wasn’t for the smoke I’d be able to give them 5 stars but I just can’t get past it. Once, we walked up to the door, opened it to give something to someone, and came out smelling like smoke. Blech.
BUT, otherwise Savoy is fun. It’s a gay bar but isn’t especially dirty feeling or sleezy as compared to some others in town. The staff are nice and they actually have good beers and good drink specials.
We come here a lot with friends and I like the Locker Room side better because it is more low key.
If you’re in Ivanhoe Village and want to do something different, go to Savoy!

So i have now been to skvoy 3 times and every time i go i leave loving it even more. The bartenders are hot and attentive amd always make me feel welcome. The drink specials are great i think long island ice teas are $ 2 on sundays and they have great shots for $ 2 every night and there awsome my favorite is the blue snowcone and the lemon drop. Now even with a great bar and decent music what really keeps bringing me back is the dancers. They are great. They always appear to be having a great time and love interacting with the guests so go ahead and give them a feel just be sure to give them a tip while you down there, they are very appriciative. Last night one of them came over and sat with me for quite a while and just talked. Another came over and sat in my lap then for a while before he left. I love this place great staff, sexy dancers, good service, and great specials.

Savoy occupies a few adjacent storefronts in the same building, so rather than one large open space, Savoy is made up of few separate bars. At the far left entrance to this building, you’ll enter a bar called the «Locker Room» which is a sports bar with pool table, dart boards and a few LED screens behind the bar showing sports. The Locker Room has a bar that runs nearly the full depth of the space and there’s plenty of seating both at the bar and throughout the room. The main Savoy bar is in the storefront next to the Locker Room. The 2 spaces are divided by a wall, but you can get from one to the other via rear entrances that connect the two. The main Savoy space also has a full length bar, a few very attractive and shirtless bartenders who offer generous pours, and also features the «Men of Savoy dancers», but on the Saturday night we came here, the two dancers appeared to be barely 18. Out back you’ll find a patio area with another full bar, TV and space for a DJ to spin.
In all, I liked Savoy because it offers a few different venues and you can come here to dance, play pool or darts or just chill at the bar. Drinks are cheap, and both the bartenders and the patrons were friendly, especially the bartender in the Locker Room who, when I was still waiting on my friends to arrive and meet me, would smile each time he passed and make it a point to strike up conversation.

Loved the décor and the bartenders ;) awesome drink specials too. Good/​Normal selection of beers, I’m a fan of Magic Hat #9 and they had it.
However… I was charged extra from what I wrote down on my tip for my bill… I’ve worked in the hospitality industry before and I know that is WRONG. Talked to my bank and I’ll get the money back soon. As much as it pains me, I can’t give them more than one star nor will I probably come back to visit. :(

Smoke less, drink more. Thats the banner I want hung in here. LOL.
All in all, its a big space, so if hanging here and one room doesn’t suit you, at least you have the option of going outside, or to a different area. Had guests in from out of town, so I grudgingly went along. Its nothing about this bar in general, its just bars in general period. I don’t know why but I gravitate to the non-​bar bars, like BART and the Thirsty Topher and The Imperial. But, if going here with friends, I’m sure it will be just fine.
The music was good, the drinks didn’t break the piggy bank, and its in a great part of town.

By far the BEST Bar in Town! Hot, friendly staff, great drinks, good music, always a blast!!!

Two words. Cigarette smoke. I don’t grudge anybody who smokes, I just don’t want to have to smoke too just because I go somewhere where people are smoking.
We had some friends in from out of town and thought we’d take them to Savoy. My partner and I have never been there (I know… maybe we’re the only gay couple in Orlando who haven’t, but whatever). The place was not too crowded at 9PM on a Sunday night. I ordered a couple drinks from one of the shirtless (well-​built) bartenders. The bartender wasn’t friendly at all, never even looked me in the eye so his tip reflected that lack of connection. I don’t care if the shirtless bartenders are straight… they’d get way better tips if they were friendly. Hello shirtless, hunky bartenders… you’re working because you want to make money right? You don’t even have to flirt with me, just look me in the eye and say hi. Is that too much to ask?.
It was a mixed crowd, some seniors, some people in the middle and some twinks. I felt pretty comfortable in this gay bar when I sometimes don’t feel comfortable in places like this. Maybe I was just having a good night? Oh, well… I’m not really a bar guy, I got that out of my system a long time ago, but if friends were in town or we were going out with a group of people I’d go again.
Now… about that cigarette smoke!!! MAKE THIS PLACE NON-​SMOKING PLEASE!!! TY

Love this place! They have the best specials. The bartenders are all so nice and know how to make drinks. This place is hands down the best to get a Long Island iced tea. It’s not too sour or sweet and has enough alcohol to be worth the money. Girls be warned: the bathrooms are shared and there aren’t any locks on the doors.

Went there with friends one Sunday night to celebrate a birthday party. It was nice and the music playing was cool. There was a variety of age groups here so a little bit of something for everybody. The bartenders were nice and friendly and the dance boys seemed to be making money! I did enjoy the prices… Long Island Ice Teas for 4 dollars! plus my beer was a buck… two drinks for 5 bucks! Nice!
I don’t get out much these days but this might just become one of my favorite places to hang and watch the boys enjoy themselves! Enjoy!

Best damn happy hour in Orlando. AND it comes with boys dancing in skivvies on the bar. Win win.

On my second night on my second trip to Orlando, my friend brought me here. The drink specials were $ 1 well drinks all night. I ordered rum and coke (2 I believe) and he had a gin and tonic (also 2). They have this lounge which is right next door and you can get to it from the inside. The drink specials were the same there, where I ordered one more round for the two of us plus one for his friend.

A pretty comfortable bar for everyone to walk into. Not too bad of drink prices, specials are nice though. Most of the staff is nice to look at but several lack personality or brains. There are several gems though like Brandon, and the shorter one I never remember his name. Wish they would get rid of the dancers. Half the time they stare at themselves and look bored, like they just want to be put out of their misery. Watched one count his tips on the box… they arent even that hot anyways, only one can even dance! They actually cheapen what is otherwise a very nice bar.

Great drink prices and service! I checked this place out with a few friends from out of town. There are a few other gay bars in the area but this one is my favorite. The DJ did a decent job at playing a nice mix of music. Also, they have a pool table or two so that is always a plus. All in all I will be back. The only warning for my fellow Unilocalers is that this place does allow smoking so be ready to go home and shower off! yuk!

No more $ 1 martinis :-(
But don’t worry — $ 1 well drinks replace them! At least early on during happy hour.
The bartenders are sweet and attentive, and the dancers are… entertaining.
The restrooms are odd. Unisex and only the handicapped stall has a door. :-/​
The clientele are older than the places I usually frequent, but whatever if you’re there with good company. I personally LOVE the dance music… Most wouldn’t agree. but that’s just my taste. Lady Gaga, Katy Perry remixes, George Micheal. Sometimes I get a feeling like they are just streaming Sirius’ BPM station.

Pretty chill place, the smoking though… uggg… just can’t enjoy a place as much as I want to when there is smoking allowed. Anyway, just tried to ignore it as much as I could. The bathrooms were a bit offsetting as they were basically unisex and there were no doors.
$ 2 shots, yes please! Orange crush, yum! And helllllo, woodpecker cider =)
The music could be a bit better but the DJ did play what we requested. It was a fun stop to end the night!
