50 Best Bars in Orlando

“We had an amazing time at Keg Social Orlando celebrating a birthday! We enjoyed bowling, axe throwing, and the arcade, which provided hours of fun. The venue offers something for everyone, regardless of age—our group ranged from 11 to 41 years old, and everyone had a blast. The food and drinks from the bar were fresh and delicious, and the DJ kept the party atmosphere lively. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making our experience even better. Highly recommend for a fun and memorable outing for all ages!“

“Yummy food and margaritas!“

“Amazing place to host an event or have a fun night with absolutely delicious food. We got some bulgogi beef to grill and several other appetizers and I must say, we were impressed. Everything was perfectly season, not to spicy or to sweet. I would love to come back for one of their nightly events.“

“Valeria was a wonderful server. She was very attentive to special requests and food restrictions needs due to allergies. The food was excellent too. Get the trifasico and ask for all the sauces!“

“Food was surprisingly flavorful!“

“Nos gustó mucho, pedimos clvarios platos, lo único que nos encontramos poca cantidad es en los Chicharrones bites en comparación precio-porcion. pero muy rica la comida y buen servicio.“

“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 .“

“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“

“We just got home from a night out with family and really enjoyed the food, drinks and atmosphere. So, much fun!!“

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

“First time ever! Zack is hilarious and his service is exceptional! My party and I will definitely be returning soon! Make sure you come with a sense of humor (be able to take a joke)! If you do, you’ll certainly leave with a full belly and lots of laughs!“

“I was really looking forward to visiting this place, and overall it didn’t disappoint! I was expecting the bar itself to be a bit bigger, but the whole setup totally makes up for it. You walk into what looks like a regular store filled with cool, geeky merch, and then....surprise!!!! There’s a secret door in the back that takes you straight into the bar. That hidden speakeasy style entrance is honestly awesome and adds a lot to the experience.

The atmosphere inside is dark, creative, and full of character....definitely a spot for anyone who loves something a little different. The service was excellent too; the staff was friendly, attentive, and made the visit even better. I’d absolutely go back, especially to bring friends who haven’t been there yet.“

“Went here for NYE 2025/2026. It was a very good choice, better than other experiences we have had on NYE in Orlando. We went with a couple of friends . It ended up being about 250.00 for a couple with drinks and coat upgrades , taxes, tip, etc. overall not too bad. The staff was very good and the party was a ton of fun. Thanks for having us.“

“fabulous place to eat, and drink. Food was delicious, fresh made and the service was excellent.“

“Great drinks and dessert! Wonderful atmosphere as well“

“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!“

“This is an awesome place to go! We were within walking distance from our hotel and needed to get some food and drinks… this was the PERFECT choice!“

“My brother is a tiki fanboy, so when we travel to interesting destinations, we always seek out a good tiki bar. This place was very interesting. Kinda local, small feel and vibe. Our bartender and tiki expert was top notch, super friendly and gave us some locals only tips about other fun spots to see while in Orlando. We tried quite a selection of different offerings, all of which were well prepared and tasty! We will be back, thanks!“

“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.“

“If you're looking for that perfect low-key, no-fuss Friday night spot, The Toper Taproom & Ziggie’s Pizza is it. This cozy little dive bar hits the sweet spot between relaxed and lively — think eclectic beer list, boutique wines, and a crowd that feels more like neighbors than strangers.

The pizza? Surprisingly good — crispy, cheesy, and perfect with whatever cold drink you’re sipping. There’s a rotating selection of beers (local faves and offbeat finds) that’ll please both hop heads and casual sippers. Add in some nice wine options and you’ve got choices for everyone.

The outdoor seating is a major plus too — perfect for late-night convos and people-watching. This place has real character. Whether you're catching up with an old friend or making new ones at the bar, it’s got that kind of vibe you wish more places had. Definitely a go-to chill nook in the neighborhood.“

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

“This is classy and overall nice place to get a drink and coffee. Enjoyed cigars selection. Alex is absolutely the best person. She took care of us. People always remembered how they feel. Alex will make you feel welcome and make sure you will have drink that you will enjoy as well as cigar. If you are in the area, come and say hello to Alex.“

“Casey’s on Central is hands down one of the best spots in downtown Orlando! The vibe is always great, the drinks are strong, and the music keeps the energy going all night. Every single bartender here is top-tier — they’re fast, friendly, and always make you feel welcome. You can tell they genuinely care about giving everyone a good time. Whether you’re starting your night or ending it, Casey’s is always the move!“

“Love this place! I'm new in town, and I've found that this is the best bar/food spot in the area. The food is great (they make an amazing burger), the drinks are great, and the prices are very very solid. Service is fantastic too. I came in today having a somewhat cruddy day, but Shayla cheered me right up! She brought all my stuff to me with record speed, and it felt like she was actually listening and interested in conversing with me. This place is great, and another shoutout to Shayla (although the other bartenders are great too, I just haven't learned their names yet).“

“I come across this place in an Instagram ad and I am so glad I added it into our trip! This place was awesome and I don't know what was better, the drinks, the decor, or the girls singing... it was an absolute VIBE all around! We tried multiple drinks on the menu and not a single one let us down! The atmosphere of this place is 100000/10 and I could hangout here all night!“

“This place is nothing short of perfection. From the moment the food hit the table, it was clear that every single detail is done with intention and care. We ordered the three-meat pizza, and it was to die for perfectly cooked, loaded with flavor, and balanced just right.
The creamy Caesar was absolutely unbelievable rich, fresh, and the croutons were layered throughout the salad… And then there were the dry-rub herb wings… hands down the best wings I’ve ever had. Incredibly crispy on the outside, hot, fresh, and packed with flavor in every bite. Just next-level.
The attention to detail here is truly amazing everything was executed flawlessly. If you’re even thinking about coming here, stop thinking and just go. This place sets the bar. 🍕🔥 drop what you’re doing and get there ASAP!“

“Monster in my Meal: What a Gem!!!! I cannot believe this place exists for this pricing. The rooms are absolutely clean and modern, step outside, and you can walk right to the Welborn kitchen bar and outside dining area. This place is fantastic. I hope nobody reads this review because I want it all myself.. dining was exquisite, and the cocktails are marvelous … There may be a monster in my meal.“

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

“I was looking for live music and loved my night at Howl at the Moon Orlando! The dueling pianos were a blast—nonstop energy, and they played many of my favorite songs and a few new ones. The staff was super friendly and had some great non-alcoholic drink options. The smallest drink was enough for me, so it was a good value for a night of blissful entertainment. The crowd was so much fun, including a few international tourists dancing around and just adding to the good times. It is the perfect spot for a lively night out. I can’t wait to come back!“

“If you're an artist the live drawing events are amazing, but otherwise this is just one of my favorite bars in the area. Friendly bartenders and I don't ever really feel out of place or uncomfy drinking here solo, plus the art/curation is always great.“

“Really great hidden gem, perfect for getting away from the busy parks for some food and drinks. The menu is a bit different to what you usually find at other Walt Disney World restaurants. The location is also stunning by the lake.

Highly recommend“

“Dec 2025 - Breaktime back at the Hogs Head. We enjoyed our Beers and snacks watching the people and roller coasters pass by the castle. A surprise moment occurred when the Weasley-costumed guests we saw yesterday appeared and joined us at our table. They were Americans from the Midwest who come very often to the park in their Weasley disguise.“

“We stopped in tonight- happy hour drinks, great food and friendly staff!“

“Jackie was our waitress today at Nona Blue. Jackie has waited on us before, because we go to Nona Blue quite often. Is my family‘s favorite restaurant in the area, and has been for many years. Jackie is the best waitress ever. She is not only cute and sweet and fun, but she is a very hard worker. She completely takes care of her people. She genuinely cares, and will do everything to make your experience perfect. Thank you, Jackie for making Nona Blue so great!!!!“

“Heyyy googlers great place for fun late nights it's a strip of bars and clubs and some good street food!!! There is an area where a few bars share space and a big screen. There is alot of parking places you can find as cheap as $10 I usually find parking within walking distance. Don't drink and drive but try the plaza!“

“Good cocktails on happy hour“

“The hopping pot has a great assortment of drinks and three types of hand pies (half circle pie crust), veggies, chicken and beef. They are hand size for $10.
They sell gillywater which is just bottled water, but if you ask for a cup of water they will give you a plastic cup full of ice water for free.“

“Good place to hang. Drink. Play pinball. Play pool. Socialize.“

“Was in Orlando and was looking for a place to watch Bills game, came across The Other Bar, had a great time watching the game and everyone there was amazing. If your a Bills fan I highly recommend checking it out. Look for Bronte she was amazing and definitely made the game even more fun, Awesome service, fun and full of life. Bronte will definitely be the one I look for next time I’m down.“

“ci si rilassa si può mangiare qualcosa e divertirsi con gli amici. buon locale“

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

“Had w wonderful birthday dinner tonight! Delicious!“

“My first time there and if the weather is good, the outdoor atmosphere is fantastic. Several options for food (burgers, pizza, pasta, Mexican, desserts, etc). Food and bar drinks seems reasonably priced, but the margaritas at La Cajita are a bit expensive considering it's pre-made and served from a tap. I had the lobster mac and cheese (butter poached lobster, cavatappi pasta, truffle parmesan breadcrumbs) from Claw & Order. From Canonita I ordered the coconut shrimp taco (coconut shrimp, pineapple salsa, sweet chili mayo, cilantro), plus a chipotle chicken taco (avocado, crema, cilantro), and Mexican street corn (cotija cheese 🧀, crema, tajin). Topped it off with a huge brownie from Ice and Easy. Bathrooms are restroom trailers, but were clean.“

“Beautiful older resort hotel. Our room was clean and had everything you need for a restful stay. Helpful and friendly staff. Has amazing pool area with grotto!“

“My recent dinner at this Bar Louie was excellent! The drinks, apps., entrees, and desserts were all delicious! I tried the bruschetta, flatbread, pretzel bites, cheesesteak, queso fundido, strawberry cheesecake, and chocolate cake. Everything was wonderful. I was so especially surprised by the bruschetta and strawberry cheesecake. Both SO good! My favorite drink was the dragon fruit margarita. The presentation was BEAUTIFUL and the flavor was divine-and the strength of the drink was spot on. If you like a sweet drink, this is for you. All in all, the menu at Bar Louie was excellent. Every piece of what I tried was delicious & I'll be happy to order every single item in the future.“

“🏄‍♂️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.

“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.“

“This place is just a vibe 💪🏽 definitely one of the best hookah lounges in Central Florida“
