50 Best Bars near Altamonte Springs

“Nice place for real British food. Fish and chips are excellent as well as the mushy peas, which are real and not the often substituted mashed green peas. Sausage rolls were good too, and tasted authentic. Definitely recommend if you get a taste for English dishes!“

“Great little dive spot...one of those places where you're celebrated as you walk in the door. Staff were extremely friendly and inviting, place was clean and all the patrons seemed to know one another so made you feel very welcomed and like you were a regular straight away.“

“love the food and the staff I recommend highly to everyone ❤️ always a great meal and love the owners truly the best !“

“All 3 of us had blackened. Mahi tacos with sides of house salad or black bean soup. And 2 split chocolate desert. We all agreed food was very tasty and well presented. One had a pineapple drink served with orchid flower, umbrella and drink was in a actual pineapple. It was very good but could have benefited by a little more alcohol. Service was spot on.“

“Good bar, and good people“

“Good food,very friendly staff.So nice“

“I saw a person, going to different tables, and I was not sure if it was a he or she, as it was the body of a men, but the face was made up to be a woman. I assume he was a transgender? The waitress informed me that he was the Manager, and he was just expressing himself. A restaurant is not the place to do this. I will be writing to the Company. This was totally disgusting to see a Manager of a restaurant acting out.“

“the food is great and the Tequila selection even better!!!!“

“I was recently in this place and I attended Laura Londono. Thank you Laura for such a professional and pleasant service. The restaurant from feeling proud to have someone like you. [Original] estuve hace poco en este lugar y me atendio Laura Londono .Gracias laura por tan profesional y agradable servicio .El restaurante dede sentirse orgulloso de tener alguien como tu .“

“First time at Alfie’s & Christian really took care of us! My friend and I didn’t want alcohol and wanted just a nice mocktail. Christian really asked questions on what we liked & made sure drink was good!!! The music was really good vibes too! I’ll absolutely come back & bring my friends to ALFIE’S!“

“Came here for the Mexico vs South Korea game and it did not disappoint. The place was packed and they were not taking walkins (we got lucky and scored a seat at the bar)

If you know there’s a game going on, please make a reservation.

The food was amazing and the prices were fair for the amount of food. I’ll be back for sure!“

“One of my favorite local hang out spots! Great reasonably priced brewed in house beers, solid cider and wine selection too. It’s kid and family friendly. Their food is SO good and the menu changes regularly. Don’t sleep on their weekend brunch 🤩“

“Went here for the first time yesterday. Great atmosphere. The bloody Mary’s and staff were awesome. We will definitely be returning“

“The atmosphere is relaxed, making it a perfect spot to unwind after a long day. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always provides excellent service. The drinks are well-made, the prices are fair, and the overall vibe is fun and enjoyable. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick drink or spending the evening with friends, this place is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended! 🍻🎶“

“Though the dessert is exceptional, the service is even better. Every time I’m in Orlando I definitely make my way to Better Than Sex. This sexy grilled cheese is to die for and that sauce they have on the side is the perfect pair. If I could just bathe in it, that would be perfect.“

“Great drinks and dessert! Wonderful atmosphere as well“

“Chill, Fresh Vibes! I am glad I got the opportunity to visit. 5 stars“

“My husband and I went for our anniversary. The waitress was amazing, and the food was great. The waitress told us all about the food and what the origin was. We felt very comfortable and truly enjoyed ourselves. Will recommend! The chiefs are really working hard because NOTHING was left on our plates.“

“Rum, Rum, and more Rum. Great selection!“

“Walter's Tavern is one of the best College Park bars if you're looking for a relaxed atmosphere, friendly service, and great drinks. The entire staff always makes you feel welcome, the crowd is fun, and it's an easy place to unwind after work or meet up with friends. If you're searching for a great bar in College Park, I definitely recommend stopping by Walter's Tavern!“

“Excellent! Our server Christian was wonderful! Our food was delivered expediently and so fresh and delicious. Thank you for your kind attention!“

“Loved visiting the Topher again - has been like 10 years 😱 Super nice bartender, great beer and still a terrific, laid back, serene & comfortable location. Had a pizza from Ziggies - which was perfect with our beers and that made a great, complete visit!!! Will be back again soon - sooner than 10 years!!!“

“This place is a blast. Eat before/after, or bring your food and chill at a Hightop. A cousin in town recently told me about a similar establishment in Columbus, OH and I wanted to check one out. She found Pups Pub with a quick google search and off we went. Entry was painless and simple. Reassurances that canine patrons are vaccinated and spayed/neutered are very clear. Happy hour is more than fair. They have games on site, a really great indoor and outdoor seating areas, lots for the pups to do and they all seem to know eachother and get along great. I came without any animals and was warmly welcomed by everyone on 2 or 4 legs. I honestly had the time of my life just playing with everyone’s dogs and could have stayed there all night.“

“Good ambiance, wish the menu for food and tapas had more options.“

“Wonderful new addition to the hood. Love it!!“

“So much fun! Great staff, great food. Great atmosphere.“

“Just left there for my first visit and I found it to be slightful. My windiw seat was perfect, the jazz music , the cheese playecwas lovelybandvour waiter Leah was so carefulbtokeep us hapoy and cared for. I will be back very soon“

“Liz absolutely MADE our night at Aku Aku! From the second we sat down, she brought the best energy — so personable, welcoming, and genuinely fun to talk to.

Not only were the drinks delicious, but the presentation and attention to detail were next level.

Aku Aku already has such a fun atmosphere, but Liz was the reason our experience stood out so much. Amazing service, incredible drinks, and the kind of bartender that makes you want to come back every time you’re in Orlando. Could not recommend her enough!“

“Came here earlier today for the first time and I was blown away! Such small detail in everything. Feels so warm and cozy inside. The outside dining is fantastic! Our server was so attentive and super nice! 10/10 would recommend! Also food is amazing!! Natalie was such an angel ❤️❤️❤️“

“Today we came in and had an early dinner. We are visiting the area while my husband works disaster relief. This was my favorite dining experience here. Hands down. We had the pleasure of being served by Tyrese . I ordered half muffuletta that was so huge I couldn’t even take down half of a half! My husband ordered Blackened Chicken served over grit cakes…. Everything that came to our table was nothing short of perfect. Tyrese was very pleasant and informative on the menu. We 10 out of 10 recommend. Thank you for the great service .“

“The Falcon is the best vibe and you might get to see Lulu the Mayor! What more can you ask for? Great chill vibe and always the most interesting people to talk to at the Falcon. They do community work by having the Lulu calendar and Lulu's birthday party which raises money for homeless cats and I appreciate them doing that ❤️ Love the Falcon and so should you 😄“

“We don’t venture downtown Orlando much these days. Unfortunately, the city leaders have been slowly destroying what was my late night home in college. But we happened to be down there for a concert at the Dr Phillips center and had a chance to check Nuri’s out finally!

Vibe was so great. You can see the thoughtful design all throughout the restaurant. We loved the quirky setting and the food was just as good.

Authentic bar pies are not something common in Orlando yet here we are. We enjoyed the cracker crust and balance of cheese and sauce.

Great food and staff made an amazing cocktail! Hope to be back here again, unless the City of Orlando runs these great people out like they have so many other awesome spots.“

“Here’s a polished review you can post (keeping it natural and upscale, like your style):

480 Wine Bar is such a chic and inviting spot with an amazing atmosphere and great music. It’s definitely not your typical wine bar — the entire experience feels elevated, relaxing, and unique. Hanna, the bartender, was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcomed. I absolutely loved it… officially my new favorite wine bar!“

“Best spot in town. All local, all love. All of the time.“

“Good vibes with cool peeps and bar is fun. whether lounging on couch or chilling at bar; it's a all around good experience.“

“My friends and I went to Eden bar last night and Charlie was our server! He was amazing!!! Literally the best server I’ve ever had. He was so so so attentive and personable and kind! Our drinks were never empty! I will be coming back in hopes we have them again as our server!!! Thank you Charlie and we ❤ Enzian and Eden bar!!!“

“Cool venue in a neat part of town. These are some of the best meads I’ve ever had and I drink a lot of mead. Bold. Flavorful. Delicious. I wanted to try everything!!“

“Good cocktails on happy hour“

“Love the atmosphere, people, and the owners and staff. Great bar, inexpensive, and karaoke Thursday and Friday nights.“

“Love Paddy’s. Atmosphere is amazing. Staff always on point . The owner promotes and supports all the local businesses and wants every one to succeed.. such a trade quality to find in this cut throat world. Game nights are always a blast. Trivia tonight was the usual great time, Michael Knight is beyond enjoyable as a host and DJ“

“this is the best time on a Sunday afternoon.“

“The Other Bar is a downtown Orlando staple located on Wall Street, surrounded by a cluster of other bars. The name isn’t just clever—it’s called The Other Bar because it’s the only bar on that stretch owned by a different owner, which already gives it a bit of its own identity.

This place is very much a local favorite, and for good reason. I’m a fan of the complimentary popcorn (simple pleasures matter), and while the bathrooms might look a little scary at first glance, they’re generally clean—which honestly puts them ahead of many dive bars downtown that barely qualify as functional.

The space itself is bigger than it initially appears, almost deceiving when you first walk in. Over the years, the interior has seen steady upgrades, and it shows. The stage is well lit, and every Monday I frequent their open mic—an event that’s been running for decades and continues to be a cornerstone of the local comedy scene.

There’s also an outdoor patio and bar area, which adds a nice option when the weather cooperates. One moment that really stood out to me was Thanksgiving, when they hosted a Friendsgiving and fed all the comedians who regularly perform there. It was genuinely generous and speaks volumes about how much this place values its community.

All around, The Other Bar feels familiar in the best way—a reliable, welcoming spot that supports local talent and keeps evolving without losing its soul. It’s a place I return to often and one I’m glad still exists downtown.“

“I absolutely love this place. Everytime I stop in there everyone is so nice and makes me feel right at home and like I'm top priority. The vibe is amazing and time flies because you get so caught up with all the interesting people and staff there. I wanna say an extra special thanks to the wonderful young lady behind the bar there, Stephanie. She went above and beyond to make sure I was well taking care of and never let my glass go empty. If you're looking for a laid back spot to have fun this is your place.“

“Twas a dark and stormy night in the 8th layer of hell the lost souls of the East know as “Orlando”. As the clouds shrouded the sky, I stumbled into this saloon for shelter from the impending Burning Rain of Death. The rake behind the counter, Garret, kindly offered me a libation to which I vehemently obliged. Before the cold glass met my lips, I was frozen in my chair by the sight of a wicked woman with fiery hair the locals know to be Winnifred. We spoke wildly into the night of spooky dino chickie nuggies, Disney +, Malibu potions, and cauldron maintenance, of course. She lent me her boOooOooOok and I would love nothing more than to return it to her, as it won’t stop staring at me. If you see her, please do let her know I would love to reconnect, and would also take her up on Billy’s number if she’s indeed done with him.“

“Best dance floor in Orlando and best service.“

“Best burgers in central Florida. Fresh ground beef. Smashed, seasoned and cooked to perfection. Amazing Mac and cheese. Exceptional customer service. 10/10 can't recommend enough this is gonna be a new regular now. |“

“Had w wonderful birthday dinner tonight! Delicious!“
