According to recent reporting in Orlando Weekly, notable local drag establishment and former downtown Orlando restaurant Hamburger Mary’s has settled on its new location after shutting down at 110 W. Church St. nearly one year ago.
Weekly reports that Hamburger Mary’s is working on its new Kissimmee location in the old Capone’s Dinner Theater space at 4740 W Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy.
“In addition to its role as a community entertainment hub, Hamburger Mary’s has also maintained a leading role in the fight for drag rights in Florida. In 2022, the restaurant sued the state over a law that contained penalties for venues that host any type of “adult live performance” with children under 18 present,” the report states.
“The law was widely interpreted as a way for the state to punish and restrict venues that host drag events. The lawsuit resulted in a block on the law statewide,” Weekly reports.
No opening date has been announced.
