Couple of Great Downtown Venues


Located in the heart of downtown Orlando are two landmarks, well actually one landmark, and the next-door neighbor is a spin-off. Originally built as a Vaudeville theater in the 1920s, The Beacham has morphed into a movie theater, nightclub, and is back again as a great venue to host an event or perform in one. With a permanent stage, professional audio and lighting systems, VIP seating, full liquor license, and an audience capacity of over 1,000 guests, The Beacham is a great place to have a great time.

The Beacham’s next door neighbor and connected by an internal door is The Social and it is another great place to conduct an event. Offering the same amenities as its larger sister next door but with a smaller and more intimate atmosphere. Depending on the seating and catering arrangements, the audience capacity of The Social is between 350 and 400 guests. Of course, in addition to producing your own events at these two venues, they are also great places to see local and regional performers, along with small touring groups looking for more intimate locations.

There is ample parking located two blocks west in the city pay lots under Interstate 4. The convenience of these two locations continues with great restaurants within walking distance, including great sushi at Ichiban’s, and great steaks at Kres Chophouse, and Spice Modern Steakhouse. There is also excellent seafood at both Cevieche Tapas, and Cityfish, and for more simple fare, there’s the Wall Street Cantina.

To round out the convenience of downtown, there are also three great hotels in the immediate area. Starting with the Grand Bohemian Hotel, three blocks east, the Sheraton Orlando Downtown, which is four blocks north, and the Embassy Suites, located four blocks to the southeast. All three properties are excellent selections to make a visit to the downtown area complete.
