50 Best Cocktail Bars near Altamonte Springs

“Go weekly for happy hour and love it!“

“We went for lunch for my besties birthday. Food and service were amazing. A bonus is this spot is the BEST food ever. I havent had authentic Mexican food in Orlando since I lived in Southern California 13 years ago. The only drawback was the lighting. It was way too bright. We almost wanted to put on our Sunglasses but didn't want to be rude to such kind staff members. Please consider dimming your lighting. It is a great place though, nicely remodeled and great accents and pretty dinnerware. We have ordered food over 25 times and it is always excellent!“

“Been here twice now, ordered different items each time & they didn’t disappoint. It’s my “go to” place for Mexican food in the area. Service is always good & attentive (not sure why other reviews complain). If you’re in the area check it out. I’ll, definitely, be back.“

“Amazing restaurant, the food is amazing and great service“

“My husband found this gem online and figured we’d enjoy it since we are fans of shareable and tapas style dishes. Brendan (sp?) was our server. He was kind and attentive. The food options were healthy, fun, and creative. I especially enjoyed the dumplings and my husband devoured his mochi Wangz. We also tried Mr. Rice Guy which didn’t quite give the oomph we were looking forward to. Drunken Belly was pretty decent (a few pieces were a tad too fatty to fully enjoy). We’d 100% go back for the atmosphere and aesthetics alone. Service was phenomenal and the vibes were super chill.“

“Great atmosphere on a Sunday, we came with our baby and they were very welcoming and pleasant. We ordered the Crab Salad, croquetas and Media Noche, absolutely delicious. Also their coffee is fantastic! Will definitely be coming back to try more food items!“

“From the moment we sat down, Connor was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the craft. The cocktail menu was impressive, but Connor took it to another level, crafting a custom mocktail based on my preferences—perfectly balanced and beautifully presented.

Not only did Connor mix flawless drinks, but the hospitality was impeccable. Engaging without being intrusive, Connor made us feel like regulars on our first visit. If you’re looking for a bartender who elevates your night out from just another drink to an unforgettable experience, this is the place.“

“Great food and atmosphere. Convenient location.“

“This is our favorite place for fun cocktails and local goodies 😃“

“I don't remember too much from this night. but I remember speaking with a co-owner, he was a great guy.

To the girl who returned my passport the following day, THANKYOU!!!! I would be stuck in Orlando losing other possessions without you!“

“This is a fantastic craft cocktail and tapas bar. 1000/10. The drinks were delightful (some of the best in the Orlando area), the tapas were delicious, the atmosphere was excellent, the service was amazing, AND the prices were extremely acceptable. I'll 1000% be back!“

“Best Place to Hang . Great People Jen, Will , great music from Greg, awesome Live shows from Eugene and his 5 Pints of Truth( like Pascal awesome Guitarist, Kate Great Voice, ….), … great patronage Josh, Nigel, JayMob and so much more! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍“

“Amazing dining experience! Every single member of the staff was attentive and beyond helpful. The food, as always was outstanding (try their $38 3 course tasting menu for a little bit of everything). HUGE shout out to Dylan at reception, I accidentally messed up my reservation and he went above and beyond to accommodate our party. 11 out of 10, Orlando staple.“

“it's a great place but a honest review is it's probably your scene if you're 40 and up and love motley Crue era type Rock“

“Loved this place! You need a code to get in. Great drinks! I loved the vibe. Definitely going back!!!“

“Good cocktails on happy hour“

“The food was great. Definitely ShinJung quality. But our waitress, Hailey, was what made the experience everything it was. She was friendly and attentive. She went above and beyond to make sure we had a great first time here and had an excellent handle on the menu.“

“Love! Best truly Mexican food in a long while!“

“This was an absolutely incredible experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with smiles, authenticity, and acknowledgement for our first year anniversary. We got a great table and an even better waiter. Sterling was knowledgeable, kind, and very good at his job. Our drinks were never empty, he didn't leave us too long but didn't come back too often either. His recommendations were incredible and we were extremely happy with the service. The food was even more incredible. From the starters to the dessert, each dish was the perfect temperature, seasoned well, and delivered promptly. My wife and I had a great time and this just might be our special occasion spot from here on out. The prices weren't even too bad either for such high quality food and service. Highly recommend and very glad to have experienced this. Thanks so much!“

“We went to TORI TORI for the first time last weekend. The food and drinks were amazing, but I can’t give the restaurant more than 4 stars. The way the place works is a bit different: you find your own seat, then go to the bar to order both your food and drinks. After that, you can either stay at the bar or go back to your table. We tried the blue crab dip, crab croquette, crab rice, scallop crudo, beef skewers, tomato skewers, scallion and cheese pepper skewers ~ all of them were delicious. The drinks were also really good. They have food runners who bring the food to you, but you still have to go order everything yourself at the bar. The mix of self-service and table service was interesting, but I didn’t love having to wait in line to order and still being expected to tip over 20% (which we did). The bartenders (ours was Thanathep) were very busy, which made sense since it was a Sunday night. I really enjoyed the food and drinks, but because of the service style, I’d give it 4 stars.“

“great service, good food and a great vibe!“

“Great local spot perfect for starting your night out! They offer relatively affordable drinks, and the bartenders are pretty cool. There's a pool table that you don't have to pay for, darts, and lots of comfortable places to sit. Outside is a chill vibe as well, with several seats and tables out front - I've been there 3 times, and it's never been super crowded. Parking can be a challenge at times, but there are lots nearby to park at. I recommend starting out here if you're bar hopping and then walking to the mills (about a 5 minute walk, and you'll pass several bars along the way)“

“I stumbled across this place by chance this weekend and am glad I did. I was craving an Old Fashioned all week long. I tried the original and then the Southern style. Great staff, Bartenders were fantastic and also had brief conversations with the other guests. I highly recommend going. I will be back and next time I’ll hopefully have some friends with me.“

“Was incredible. The cheezus is a must. The spice from the bomb that was added into my Ramen made it just right for me(if you enjoy spicy) The shishito peppers accompanied the ramen perfectly. Our server Brandon was amazing and attentive, fun guy! All around, I highly recommend this place.“

“We had there Chicken Roast Dinner it was fantastic, we would highly recommend The Monroe and staff were amazing. Well done chef 👍“

“I was born and raised in Orlando and Prato is still the best food and restaurant in the city. Location is perfect for families or date night. The food is always Michelin worthy and service is always good. Make a reservation! We make one even if it’s months out because it’s worth it.“

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

“Lamp & Shade in the heart of Mills 50 Orlando lovely restaurant with an astonishing unique ambiance. I went yesterday evening to check out this restaurant and I was certainly impressed by the crafted food and delicious cocktails.“

“Amazing atmosphere to hang out grab a drink and eat great food!“

“So delicious! Excellent service from everyone, especially our server Shaun. He was so thorough and answered all our questions. The Cedar Key clams were to die for! I had the scallops and my husband had the burger for dinner- so freaking amazing ! I can’t say enough about this place! The owner was walking through the dining room checking on everyone, greeting everyone - thank you Carol for an exceptional experience!“

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

“I love this place the vibes are immaculate the drinks are AMAZING. I LOVE the menu because of how user friendly it is, it tells you anything and everything you need to know about the drinks. My favorite part was my bartender Pieter he was so friendly and funny and made sure my partner and I were comfortable with our drinks and I would 10/10 return with a million more people!“

“Beautiful place with an excellent service, food is super and Angie, OMG.....“

“My favorite restaurant in town! Excellent service and food.“

“Great service, very friendly and clean atmosphere.Tge owner is very courteous.“

“I love everything about it , it a enjoyable place to go, thank you for your service,“

“My daughter and I had an absolutely amazing time at this restaurant. The food is great,the ambiance is amazing and the service is everything you would want it to be. Cheyenne, our server met all of our needs and more, super personable and attentive.“

“Food was amazing (the steak, lobster Mac and cheese, potato's, corn, orange cake) but unfortunately the service was really poor compared to the other times we've been. I'm really hoping it was just a bad night or the server was just having a bad day which is totally understandable. If you're looking for great food this is the place- but if you would like the full experience with a server who doesn't just say “okay... what do you want? With no recommendations, and where you don't get any refills or asked if maybe we had wanted more drinks, or even a how're you doing today this may not be a great fit.“
