17 Best Cocktail Bars near Apopka

“I was treated to lunch to celebrate my 60th birthday and it was wonderful! Alma was our waitress and she made sure we had everything we needed. I love service that is attentive without being overpowering and this was it! My daughter and I split the nachos supreme and wow was it a lot of food! I definitely recommend and will be back!“

“Great atmosphere! Very friendly staff! My only complaint would be the music. Always playing extremely loud pop music and it's very hard to have a good conversation on the patio sometimes. Otherwise everything is wonderful. Great beer selection and appetizers. They also always have other food trucks and craft vendors hanging around ?“

“I was taken back when I walked in! Gorgeous atmosphere & great for so many occasions! The food was awesome, the drinks were unique & delicious. Our server Carlos was extremely nice & knowledgeable about the entire menu, I’ll definitely be asking for him again when we come back!“

“5 Stars all the way around. This is a fantastic location for a great lunch with friends. The atmosphere is very quaint, charming, relaxing, comfortable...I could go on. I am so glad a mutual friend recommended it to us.Our server explained that everything is made from fresh from scratch and that the chef has been with them for over 20 years.I started with a nice craft beer and a bowl of the Irish Whiskey Onion soup. The soup was very good although I used my knife to cut through some of the cheese and fried onions. My bride ordered a sangria and a mushroom burger. The savory chicken sandwich with fries was ordered by two of us and the Philly sandwich with fries was ordered as well.All of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal and we had no room for dessert. While our meal for two cost over $80, it is a bit on the pricey side if you decide to have 2 beers, a sangria, soup and 2 sandwiches. But it was worth it!This is a great place to dine. We dined on the main floor but you should check out the bar and lounge upstairs as well. Or outside. Just loved The Goblin!“

“Rabbit for Easter!? And those hot cross buns, woo hoo hoo doot, doot, dooo! lol. I give them something like a five for nice elevated dining with delicious fancy foods and impressive, exemplary hospitality on a level you don't see often enough anymore, in a beautifully curated arty modern space. I don't mind throwing good money down on food and an experience worthy of it and 1921 delivered, mostly. Was looking forward to the deviled duck eggs as shown on the online "example" menu but they didn't have them on the day. Shoot. And while I realize this is supposed to be an experience, we waited well over an hour for our mains to come out, long after starters and cocktails ran out, and I was about done, restless, and feeling full. So, whatever was special with the mains was sort of lost; at least on me. Our bill was also messed up, they double charged us, and took even more time still, to fix.“

“I’m a local and this is my favorite place to eat drink and have a good time ask for Carmen as a waiter she will make sure all the food is hot and delicious. Make sure Sabrina is your bartender she will make sure your drinks are right for the price . 10/10 would recommend.“

“Great place to have excellent food. The chips and salsa they bring to the table are really good, and so is the service. The Quesabirrias are one of the best we have had, and so are the Birria Tacos. This last time I had El Burrito, with chorizo, and it was great.“

“The atmosphere really transports you to an island , even if you’ve never been here before you feel the Caribbean experience , the music had us dancing all night and the food was amazing , things I had never tried before , especially the wings it’s definitely a spot to have a nice vibe with friends or family after work or even on the weekends… definitely will be back.“

“I was excited for this place, so when I saw their open sign I decided to go. I have to say, with all these new Mexican restaurants opening in the (Orlando) area I didn't have high hopes but this place really exceeded my expectations. The inside is absolutely beautiful and spacious. It smells good and clean. We felt very welcomed. They have a big menu with many different options that most restaurants don't usually offer. This was a good sign! I love trying new foods. Some of the items on their menu that stood out to me were *molotes- plantains filled with queso and chorizo *carne en su jugo (mexican style beef stew) *chilaquiles *tacos de campo (cactus tacos) *tacos campechano (bacon, steak, chorizo tacos) *ahi tuna, ceviche, ceviche verde *tableside guac! *cheesecake chimichanga Of course they offer SO much more than this, including fajitas, quesadillas, chimichangas, enchiladas, bowls, chicken platters, salads, soups, the list goes on. We started off with the tableside guacamole, it was freshly made and tasted great! We couldn't stop eating it with the complementary chips and salsa of course. We asked for the house spicy sauce, it was delicious and extremely spicy!! For the main course, we ordered an al pastor bowl, tacos campechanos, and a carne asada. Everything tasted delicious. The carne asada was a little off tasting, like the way the made it wasn't with charcoal grill but other than that it was enjoyable. The tacos campechano (steak, bacon, chorizo) were beyond flavorful and they came on blue corn tortillas. The Al pastor bowl was tasty. The adobo of the pork was seasoned well. Everything tasted great. Although I feel the service could've been better. We were ready to go for a while, our server (Julio) got busy with other tables which is understandable he definitely glanced at us a few times and saw we were looking to be helped but chose to leave us waiting. I wouldn't mind waiting if I didn't have my sleepy toddler who was ready to go. Other servers saw we were looking for our server and just passed by. They should focus more on team work. But other than that I will be back! Also, the prices are lower than most restaurants in the area. For the quality of everything, we felt the prices were on the lower side. This is definitely a plus and I can see this place thriving due to all they have to offer their customers. You have to try this place at least once!“

“Hidden gem! Located upstairs at Mt Dora Marketplace Building 1, this cocktail lounge has a classy lounge ambiance. The knowledge and execution of their cocktail drinks are on point…perfect balance is achieved. All the bartenders are knowledgeable. The owner, Dakota, cares about mixology and it shows. I can’t wait to come back here.“

“Downtown’s best dance club isn’t downtown anymore. It's located near the Cannery apartments in the Packing District. Mix and mingle to the best alternative sounds of the 80s-90s, spun by DJ Kimball and friends. Enjoy free parking and admission (21 & up) and drink specials until 10pm at Barbarella, now at 4141 John Young Pkwy, Suite 3 | @barbarella“

“This is not an authentic Jamaican restaurant. However, the food was actually pretty good. I ordered the Oxtail, and it was tender and nice. They had me holding the bone and everything, lol. The atmosphere was good too. I loved the ambiance and decor. The waitress was also very pleasant to talk to. I would recommend trying them out.“

“We decided to give them a try, since we have seen the restaurant for a while every time we pass by. It sure was a good experience!There is plenty of seating inside and we were greeted by nice hostesses whom sat us as we came in on a busy weekend afternoon. Our server greeted us a bit later and was nice, friendly, attentive and checked on us as well.Our food was tasty, made to order, fresh and flavorful! We ordered the mahi tacos, regular sliders and the turkey sliders. Every thing was delish!We will definitely be back and keep it as one of our go to's for the future!“

“Atmosphere is beautiful with the wood decor throughout the restaurant. The bone in ribeye Pittsburg style medium rare was perfect. The drinks and the apps were great. I would say try the calamari for sure... that was one of the best, perfectly cooked, tasty calamari I've ever had. Service was great and quick for a nice restaurant.“

“First time visiting this restaurant and absolutely loved it! (Went at a time that it wasn't too busy so I'm also taking that into account) The food, atmosphere and service were all great!We had the teriyaki salmon spring rolls (delicious) and bruschetta to start. For main entrees, fresh fish tacos with house-made chips and bulgogi tacos with the same. The drinks were a glass of prosecco and a glass of white sangria (mango flavor). Definitely loved everything and will be visiting again!Wheelchair accessibility: There is a very slightly inclined ramp that leads to the main entrance. There is also another side entrance that is accessible.“

“Wednesday we stopped in and to our surprise they had a Crayfish special buy one get one so I tried one of their Crayfish Boils and got a 1 pound boil bag dinner for the price of only a ½ pound boil bag and also got a ½ pound Snow Crab Boil bag , wife got a 1 pound Snow Crab boil bag and we shared a batch of fried Oysters for an appitizer. Amazing Boils and the Oysters were delicious aswell. It's been awhile since we had gone but will be putting this back in our lunch and dinner rotation again...“

“Nothing to think about, just go there! I spent 3 years traveling the U.S. eating at Mexican restaurants across the southwest and I found my favorite in my home town Orlando- this is the best I have had. They have done something special with each dish on their menu. Disney called it plussing it, taking something and making it the best it can be. The hole-in-the-wall look from the website picture had me skeptical, but the casual atmosphere was very enjoyable and relaxing. The server "Lashes" (Alexis) is what any restaurant would strive for in a server. Great service, recommendations based on listening to the customer, and great descriptions of the offerings. Friendly, enthusiastic, attentive, and part of the formula for a perfect casual dining experience. The cocktails can't be ignored. Another reason I will be going back. A margarita with a swirl of Sangria, OMG, yum!. Beer selection was good, and even the ice water was filtered and very good (not to be taken for granted in central Florida). I plan on going back to try everything on the menu. I was so excited to dig in to my entree, I forgot to take a picture. Presentation was excellent. At least I took a picture of the fried ice cream.“
