The first time they sold us beverages, the quality and service were fantastic. Much thanks to a very nice 50-ish male bartender. The female bartender requested for our IDs a second time. Unfortunately, the second bartender didn't sell us anything because my friend had an employment authorization card—a legal document in the US that is equivalent to a green card and allows travel both inside and outside the nation. "Universal Studio doesn't take green cards," she stated. How does my friend fly to Orlando from New York, get a ticket, and enter Universal Studio if they don't take green cards? And btw my friend is 35 years old woman. I requested a manager. The supervisor made the same statement. It's frustrating and feels like discrimination because my friend's employment authorization card says “Country of birth -Russia.” I'm not sure if that's why the service was declined. But, it is incorrect because she has a LEGAL DOCUMENT proving her age. In the US, green cards and work permission cards are official documents.
The remainder of our day was ruined by the discriminating attitude of that female employee.

Our bartender, Monica, was the BEST! Quick and efficient, remembered what my groups drink orders were even if we came back a couple hours later.

We only ordered some drinks, but the lady in the bar was really grumpy and used here fingers to get out the picked jalapenos to put in my drink.The drinks where not impressive for that price (and had waaay too much jalapenos)

Great location and decent drinks but food is pretty bad. Onerous staff here who don’t let us order out or order to seat outside. It has to be inside and have to be seated, I think they are just trying to be difficult.Wouldn’t order food here but drink are ok, though overpriced(as expected inside an amusement park).

Great little "hole in the wall" that is nice for a mid-day refill while out in the parks.

Backwater Bar is co-located with Confisco restraunt. This is a great place to walk in and get you H2O water or you favorite adult beverage. It is a full service walk up bar with lots of beer, wine, and they can make the liquor drink of your choice. There is no seating inside, but they have shaded seating just outside the door. The staff is friendly and want you to have a nice experience.

As one of the few places to get a mixed drink in IoA this place is great but the bartender Tim is awesome. He makes a great drink and is just a good bartender.
