Treasure Tavern Blends Cabaret & Burlesque for Adult-Style Show

Eccentric and entertaining, Treasure Tavern is an uproariously good show in Orlando themed specifically for adults. Hosted by Madame Gretta in Pirate’s Dinner Adventure’s very own tavern, the atmosphere is swanky yet laidback with just the right amount of tawdriness. That’s part of the fun, though, as Treasure Tavern blends cabaret and burlesque for one of the most unique dinner show experience in town.

When I attended the Treasure Tavern Orlando show the intimate wood and leather furnished dinner-club style theater was filled with patrons creating a lively atmosphere.  Madame Gretta’s “Jewels,” the beautiful and talented servers assisting you throughout the night, added to the atmosphere as their attire and playfulness played up the burlesque aspect of the evening. One Jewel is quite unlike the rest, however. “Jinx” excelled at the improv bits throughout the night. Corny yet hilarious, her routines had the entire audience in stitches. She was part of a comedy troupe that kept the show rolling from one segment to the next and kept the audience in stitches for most of the night.

The laugher flows pretty easy at Treasure Tavern, as do the drinks. Once I was shown my seat, Sapphire took my drink order and kept a swift hand ready to refill on request. Alcoholic drinks aren’t include in the ticket price of the show, but a full bar is available to serve up any concoction you would like. There is plenty to keep your attention at Treasure Tavern, and during the show zingers, quips and innuendos keep the production fast-paced and continually funny. Definitely a show for adults, the humor is typical for comedy clubs but with enough added vaudevillian-effort to make it stand out from the crowd. Star performers come out to play too, with magicians, a quick-change dance act and Russian acrobats delighting the audience.

Dinner at Treasure Tavern Orlando FL is served in courses throughout the evening. Sometimes dinner at a show can be somewhat disappointing, but not at this show. Treasure Tavern makes meal service a full-on production, with the “Jewels” even performing a tongue-in-cheek “salad” song. Presentation of the dinner didn’t end with the “Jewels,” though. Each course was served in an elegant manner, and was a step above most other dinner show meals. The flavor of the beef tenderloin was on point and the proceeding opera cake was a decadently rich dessert rivaling only the richness of the comedy served during the show.

If you're searching for an outlandish way to spend an evening in Orlando, stop by Treasure Tavern.  It's one of the only Orlando shows specifically for the 18 and older crowd, and certainly one of the most entertaining.
