50 Best Bars near Longwood

“Love Hourglass Longwood! Incredible staff and lots of fun.“

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

“Been coming here for a bit, and I have to say the food is always made with love, and the drinks are poured with heart. All the bartenders are super friendly and professional. The cooks who run food out from time to time also make sure you have everything you need to enjoy your meal.

The atmosphere is inviting and chill, yet fun, with impeccable cleanliness from the bar to the bathrooms. The food specials are a steal, and even when it gets packed, the staff communicates effectively and promptly.

Don't sleep on the Paddy's Pub sauce on your wings, the pick-your-own sample platter, the hot dog with your choice of toppings, or even the fill-you-up salads. This is a fantastic spot for a drink after work, towatch the game with friends, or just to hang out and have a bite.“

“I've been coming here for years. Servers always try to do their best, though occasionally there aren't enough of them staffed on busy nights. The atmosphere can be a little loud at times and parking can be tough. Food is always good. The great service and strong drinks are what keep me coming back.“

“We had a fantastic time,great facilities and friendly staff. Kayaked up and down the river for a few hours and spotted all kinds of wildlife including some small alligators. Then headed back and relaxed by the river with a beer and Philly cheese steak. Check it out you won’t be disappointed. 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸“

“I would have given Freda's 5 stars but I kinda think our server steered us toward a very large Margarita without informing the size“

“Best place to eat! Always makes the paddling trip worth it!“

“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!“

“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 🤩“

“Best pinball arcade I’ve ever been to. Meticulously maintained machines. Thanks yall!“

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

“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!!!“

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

“excellent restaurant in every way 😎👍 highly recommend“

“I came here one evening after work with some coworkers. We wanted a nice, chill pub atmosphere with some good food. We found that here at St. Andrews. Ambiance was great. Seat yourself, a little schlubby building with only a few, dark windows. I loved it. Felt like real Britain. Service was good. The guy was super nice, and the food all came out timely and hot. No worries there.

I was also super impressed and pleased that they had a Guinness 0.0 available in a can. I've been told it's nothing like the real thing, but I thought it was pretty darn good.

As for the food, it was dynamite.

Started off with a simple Chips & Curry Sauce. Very nicely fried fries with a heaping helping of a thick curry sauce. A very mild sauce that was good on pretty much anything. I finished the fries and kept the sauce around for subsequent courses.

I then had a Sausage Roll & Crisps. The roll was great. Super flakey pastry enveloped a very nice, well-seasoned sausage that had a good snap to it with every bite. Delicious.

Then, my main event, a Home-Made Meat Pie (Steak & Mushroom, Served with Chips and Garden Peas). Check the picture. It wasn't a pie pie like I was expecting, but the filling was really deep and umami in the way only steak and mushroom can be. The pastry was, again, really good, and I subbed the chips for onion rings, and they were crispy and dipped really well in that curry sauce.

Overall, this was a nice, simple, delicious experience that did a good job bringing us coworkers together for some good camaraderie.“

“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.“

“I tried the daily special—which was delicious—as well as a few other dishes from the menu, and I was extremely satisfied.“

“Late follow up but worth the wait- we came to watch England vs Argentina and had a blast. Food and atmosphere where great BUT the one person that made our visit over the top was Brook. I will return and hopefully get Brook as our server, she was awesome.
See you soon- Johnny Walker Manchester is Red- Glory Glory Man United!!“

“Great food, service and fun place for all the kids at our soccer dinner!“

“Enjoyed seeing/hearing our gr'son McCoy Moore perform there!!“

“Though The Muddy Root’s menu is already hard to beat, the real magic lies in the staff here. It doesn’t matter what day you come in; you’ll always be met by someone warm, welcoming, and ready to explain anything you’d like to know about their WIDE variety of menu items. If you’re not a kava or kratom person, this cafe offers a coffee and tea menu that’s highly customizable. Whatever you’re looking for- something sweet, something strong, something refreshing- the kavatenders (their “bartenders”) will always know how to make it happen. Even when my drink doesn’t taste right the first time (which rarely happens), the staff is beyond happy to add or substitute anything so that it’s just what I want. A literal 2-minute drive from UCF (and right between two major UCF apartments), this is an amazing study spot. Plenty of outlets and a variety of seating, plus free WiFi (after ordering). Plenty of students, professionals, and hobbyists work here, so it’s a productive environment. If you’re looking for a more social atmosphere, they also host social events all throughout the month, from trivia and AYCD kava nights to karaoke and even nature hikes! If I could rate The Muddy Root on a scale of 1 to 10, I’d give them an 11. A definite must-try!“

“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!!!“

“🏄‍♂️The Lucky Lure is an Orlando / Ivanhoe / North Orange Staple. It's your local dive--it's everything you expect and want. Cocktails in plastic cups when it's busy, glass when it's not. Open air so smoking is okay if that's your thing. Your drink strength correlates directly to how good of a conversation you can give the bartender.

🍸: I ordered a whiskey sour but got a Jack and Coke from a tipsy bartender on this day. The drink was... okay. But the memory will last a lifetime.

🌈 Overall Vibe ✨: Dive Bar, Florida-Core, Exactly What You Expect and Exactly What You Want.

“Great atmosphere with fun people!! The service is great and the drinks are good! I can’t wait for the other half to be finished soon!! 😊“

“Love it, great service as usual!!“

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

“Tim and Eds’ Park Dive is the local place! Clean and friendly, “dive” is definitely tongue in cheek. Small without being cramped, you are immediately welcomed in like a friend and neighbor. There is a well-tended outside area with plenty of seating and occasional events. Prices are great but eat before you get here ‘cause there is no food. There is a nice selection of domestic a local craft beers and wines (but no liquor). Sports on tv and video games are there for entertainment, but conversation runs easy here and it’s a relaxing time.“

“Had w wonderful birthday dinner tonight! Delicious!“

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

“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.“

“Love debs bar! The atmosphere is so fun and relaxing.“

“Great place Great food highly recommended“

“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!“

“I came here randomly thinking it was a liquor store but I found a really homely feeling bar. Was actually surprised at how busy it was at 3pm. The bartender Kayla was super sweet, she made a pretty delicious old fashioned. Thank you, I’ll come back some “

“Best dance floor in Orlando and best service.“

“good place and good friends“

“If I could add more stars I would
Shannon is the best vibe and I love hanging out during the day to experience it. She was literally there to replace beer before I could ever ask. Great customer service and a great place to be. I will suggest this bar to all my friends.“

“really good celery! ask for the blue chz!“

“Highly recommend for family gatherings! We just had our Baby Shower in their event space & we had an amazing time. All the staff was super friendly, very accommodating and easy to work with & book. The food and drinks were delicious and fast. Our host/waitress was so sweet and fun and great about interacting with everyone at the shower. The kids present were very happy to feed the gators, visit the parrots, and pretty much wander around in between the games. I cannot recommend their services enough and I am beyond happy we chose here for our baby shower.“

“love everything about this place. The owner is just amazing. the cocktails are incredible. highly recommend.“

“Great food, great atmosphere“

“Great people Tons of fun! Awesome bartender!!!!“

“Awesome experience and staff!“

“Oviedo Park Pub has become my favorite place to hang out, whether I’m spending time with my kids or catching up with my best friend. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like family, and that’s what keeps us coming back.

The customer service here is truly exceptional. James, Frank, Noah, Skylar, and Breya consistently go above and beyond to make every visit enjoyable. They’re friendly, attentive, welcoming, and genuinely care about their customers. No matter how busy they are, they always take the time to make everyone feel valued, remembered, and appreciated.

The atmosphere is relaxed, fun, and family-friendly, making it just as great for an afternoon with the kids as it is for a night out with friends. It’s rare to find a place where the staff creates such a positive experience every single time, but this team does exactly that.

If you’re looking for great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and some of the best customer service around, Oviedo Park Pub is the place to go. Huge thanks to James, Frank, Noah, Skylar, and Breya for making every visit one we look forward to. You all are the reason this has become our favorite local spot!“

“The food is absolutely great ! The drinks are great as well as the service !!“

“Uncle Lou’s Entertainment Hall is exactly the kind of independent venue that gives a local music scene its personality. It has an intimate, DIY feel where original bands, touring artists, and passionate music fans all end up in the same room. Places like this remind you that great live music doesn’t need massive production—it just needs a stage, a welcoming crowd, and people who genuinely care about the experience.

Orlando’s music community is stronger because venues like Uncle Lou’s continue to give artists a place to be heard and audiences a place to discover something new. Long live the independent rooms that keep live music authentic. 🍄“

“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.“

“Hosted a 40th birthday party and the space was perfect for 20 people to mingle. Brittany was great to work with and the prices were reasonable. All the Guests commented on how good the ambiance and the decor was. Rachel, our bartender, was outstanding and could whip up lot of diff cocktails. The space also had a good A/V setup so I could do a slideshow via AirPlay on TV and stream music using the wifi speakers. Wish in the future they would start providing food from Neighbors. Will definitely consider hosting here again!“
