From word of mouth to some extensive digging online, I somehow stumbled across this magnificent…read morelittle venue tucked away in Orlando's SoDo district, and I'm so glad I did. if you love discovering places that feel like a secret, you almost don't want everyone else to know about, then this is exactly that. I love jazz, so when I found out they host a jazz jam once a month I knew I had to check it out. the venue itself is incredibly unique; a converted home transformed into an intimate concert hall. it creates an atmosphere you simply can't get at a traditional music venue. there really isn't a bad a seat in the house. no matter where you sit you feel close to the musicians and complete immersed in the performance. It is a BYOW. They have a bartender on hand along with the glassware so you can bring a favorite bottle, settle into your seat and enjoy the music. It takes the entire evening feel more like being invited to an amazing private jazz performance than going out to a typical concert. The jazz was wonderful, the atmosphere was wonderful, and even the owner of the home who still lives there was an absolute joy. there's something incredibly charming about the experience. it feels personal, welcoming, artistic, and completely different from the usual Orlando nightlife. Ive been to a lot of places around Orlando and this is easily one of the best hidden gems in the entire city. Ive brought multiple people with me to enjoy the jazz, and they all say the same thing every time. Where is this place? I'm lost in a neighborhood and can't find it... Where is the entrance to this place? If that doesn't say hidden, then I don't know what else to say. SIDE NOTE: After attending on Aug 13, 2026, we were informed that the jazz jam is now moving to the second Wednesday of every month starting @7:30pm instead of 7pm.

Not sure how this little gem slipped past my radar, but it did! However, that is no more! I got the…read morechance to attend a poetry play here this past weekend on a date night in support of a fellow peer - who was performing. And my oh my, what a show it was and what a little local gem this truly is! On arrival, parking was a tad confusing as it is behind the school in the neighborhood it is located in. However, there is park parking - which is ultimately where we parked. It is in a residential neighborhood and can be a bit hard to catch if you are not paying attention to the building numbers. But we found our way nonetheless. Once parked, we walked down Timucua Arts and were immediately transported into this mini eclectic oasis. The pathway is adorned with beautiful plants and flowers decorated with little knick-knacks and garden decor. There's also a seating area with a table off to the right just before you enter. Once we entered, we were immediately greeted by the hosts, given our program, and directed into the main theatre space. We found our seats and waited for the show to start. The theatre has this awesome wooden pitched ceiling (roof) that carries the sound throughout the space very well. There is also a spiral staircase that climbs up two additional levels where additional seating can be found. After a quick wait time, the play/performance began, and we were fully engulfed in the wonders of "Into the Eye: A Sacred Storm." The performance was OUTSTANDING! Bravo to all! I am so happy we attended this performance because not only did we get to support local talent, but we also got to support a local business like Timucua! What a wonderful evening it turned out to be. I am looking forward to future shows and events here!

Overall super cool venue with awesome sound hope to come back here again at some point for another show! Until then see you in the circle pit!

I wouldn't recommend section C - they had those tall metal chairs that look uncomfortable in that section. I honestly wish I'd got section A, but those shows sell out so quickly that it seems harder to snag those. The sound was amazing & the band was really talented. The look/vibe is really great too! The doors don't open till right before showtime, but there's covered tables & chairs to sit & wait. Parking was a bit tight. The doormen were very fast & efficient. Everyone was friendly too! Overall I really like The Abbey & am going back again in a few weeks, Oh - pro tip - there's an absolutely OUTSTANDING sushi restaurant around the corner & they were very accommodating when we said we were in a hurry to get to the show on time. Check them out!

A place to go with friends where we can still hear each other talk, have drinks and of course listen to Jazz. Orlando has so many genres or music and experiences, however, Jazz was a missing piece. We came early and were greeted by the venue manager who was amazing. He explained that each table has a QR Code where you can order a Pizza from the new pizza place downstairs that replaced the Robinson Coffee shop. This really came in handy as we got lost in the vibe, were hungry but didn't want to leave. The pizza was a super thin crust, quality pepperoni, and just overall really hit the spot. For drinks, they have a happy hour Thursday - Sunday from 7pm-10pm with half off all of their cocktails. My choice was the Tequila Mockingbird, a playful play on words for the book "To Kill A Mockingbird". It's Tequila, Aperol, Passionfruit, Lemon and Vanilla. Incredibly tasty and dangerous because it goes down so easy. We had an amazing evening with friends, talking, laughing and celebrating my husband for his birthday. The live Jazz starts at 10pm and they close at 1am, which is great because I don't want to be downtown when all of the other bars and venues are closing anyways. I'm really happy The Phoenix Jazz Club is an option for night life and look forward to coming back in the future.

One heads up is that because technically the whole bar is outside you can smoke inside and out which I don't love but because it's a converted shipping container you get a good breeze.
