Tabu Night Club
46 N Orange Ave, Orlando, FL
Bump and grind to hip hop, Top 40 and Latin beats on downtown's biggest dance floor. On Wednesdays, it’s all about women with complimentary admission all night and free drinks until 11pm. On Fridays, ladies get in free all night and drink $3.50 premium cocktails and beers until 11pm--but arrive early to avoid the block-long line. -
Antigua
46 W Church St, Orlando, FL
With free stiff drinks for ladies on Saturdays from 10pm to 12am--no wonder every bachelorette party in town is sweatin’ to the 80s. -
Vintage Lounge
114 S Orange Ave, Orlando, FL
Enveloped in lush red velvet and lit with chandeliers and candles, this romantic retro lounge is decidedly feminine. On Thursdays, classy ladies sip unlimited martinis to the sounds of house, trance and breakbeats. -
Dragon Room Cocktail Boutique
25 W. Church St., Orlando, FL
It's where the beautiful people go--muscle dudes with tight shirts and fashionistas in short skirts. If you're the latter, Friday night is your night, with free admission and drinks until midnight. Note: the podiums are not only for the paid go-go dancers. -
Club Firestone
578 N Orange Ave, Orlando, FL
Fridays get spicy at Caliente Latin ladies night, with free admission and drinks until midnight and a mix of salsa, meringue, hip hop and reggaeton in the club's various rooms. Sunday's hip hop night with 102 JAMZ FM is also tailored to women, with free admission and drinks until midnight. -
Cowboys Orlando
1108 S Orange Blossom Trl, Orlando, FL
It’s called Cowboys but it’s all about the cowgirls on Thursdays, with free admission and $2 you-call-its all night long. Each Thursday of the month features a different cash prize contest: Chicks & Chaps, Boots & Boxers, Boots & Bikini, Boys Gone Wild and the occasional wet T-shirt contest. Yeehaw! -

Ladies, close your wallets. There’s no cover on Thursday nights at this CityWalk lounge that appeals to the over-30 crowd with a live cover band and DJ-spun classic dance hits. -
Bliss

Break out the bubbly at this upscale dance club tucked behind a small storefront on Church Street. Wednesday is the night where girl groups of four get a complimentary bottle of champagne and free drinks until midnight.
