50 Best Bars in Orlando

“Yummy food and margaritas!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 .“

“Very friendly staff and our server was exceptional. She was kind, knowledgeable about the menu and made great recommendations. The place was clean and the table was equipped with plenty of utensils and napkins. The food was fresh, delicious, and large portions good for sharing. The menu offers a little bit of everything except seafood. I am a seafood lover and it was a little disappointing that shrimps was the only option on the menu. The pork orderd was great, soft and full of flavor. I have to mention that the dessert menu is very small (2 items) but good. It is interesting how the tables are equipped with needed items to cook yourself options. Heads up no knives provided. They have karaoke on weekends, it was nice. There is plenty of parking and with good lighting if visiting at night time. I will come back and will recommend it to family and friends.“

“So good! Def going again..“

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

“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 🤩“

“I went for my first time yesterday and Dick’s Last Resort is something alright. I LOVEDD THIS EXPERIENCE , Y’all just be prepared to be embarrassed and talked about ( jokingly of course ). ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The drinks are amazing, the food is delicious, and the staff is what really makes the experience special! Everyone is so lovely, and I always enjoy the atmosphere. Great food, great drinks, and great people. Definitely a place I love coming back to! ❤“

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

“This was by far my best dining experience as a vegan at a non vegan restaurant. Strong Water Tavern has a regular menu and a vegan menu, however, I did not see anything on the vegan menu that I like and the options I liked from the regular menu had chicken stock in them. Elizabeth (the waitress) went back and forth from me to the kitchen, trying to work something out.

Eric (the manager) came out, apologized, and asked how he could accommodate me. We came up with a solution, which I thought would be from their kitchen, but I found out that he went to another restaurant in the resort to put together something for me. This was so heartwarming and showed excellent customer service.

I would like to say thank you again to Eric and Elizabeth for their attention to detail and ability to pivot to make sure that their customer was satisfied. 20/10 experience!“

“justin makes the best expresso martinis“

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

“I’m not super into drinks, but I love soda so I got a soda~ I did attempt to try one drink, but I know it’s not for me! My husband did enjoy the drinks though! They were def fun looking and nice themed drinks! The place itself is well decorated, really fun place to check out~ it’s not that spacious so it’s probably best to ask if there is room left since it filled up when we went!“

“The atmosphere is relaxed, making it a perfect spot to unwind after a long day. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always provides excellent service. The drinks are well-made, the prices are fair, and the overall vibe is fun and enjoyable. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick drink or spending the evening with friends, this place is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended! 🍻🎶“

“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!!!“

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

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

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

“Great place Great food highly recommended“

“Great drinks and dessert! Wonderful atmosphere as well“

“I went to a burlesque show last night and had a blast! The dancers, bartenders, and even the patrons were all warm and friendly! Between dances, they had music that has us vibing and nostalgic. The drinks were delicious and at a great price! Gf and I will definitely come back again!“

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

“Wonderful new addition to the hood. Love it!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“🏄‍♂️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.

🌸“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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 husband and I went for our anniversary. The waitress was amazing, and the food was great. The waitress told us all about the food and what the origin was. We felt very comfortable and truly enjoyed ourselves. Will recommend! The chiefs are really working hard because NOTHING was left on our plates.“

“Had w wonderful birthday dinner tonight! Delicious!“

“Went here for our welcome party two years ago! Had some issues with the rooms but we love the vibe and always come back. 2 years later we’re back again celebrating our anniversary and sitting by the fire. The server surprised us and treated us to a round of drinks. Great service“

“Awesome interior decor. The drinks were amazing and they encourage you to have food delivered since they don’t serve any. Service was also great. My only suggestion is to play appropriate tiki music. Les Baxter, Martin Denny, Arthur Lyman, The Tikiyaki Orchestra, The Manakooras, The Budos Band, Ike Quebec, Lords of Atlantis, etc. The right music is key. We plan on coming back. Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“Was there for Saturday Comedy Night. Sat at the bar. Bartender was super attentive and accommodating. If the comedy lineup is anything like what was there on 4/6/24 then y’all should all buy tickets post haste. The comics were hilarious and I laughed so hard my face hurt. You should go, you definitely won’t regret it.“

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

“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.“

“Wall Street Plaza is located across the street from the Heritage Square Park, home of the Orange County Regional History Center. It was created in 1995 as a premier entertainment complex with bars, restaurants, and nightclubs, it hosts block parties, live music, and sporting events along with special events for Halloween, New Year’s Eve, and Oktoberfest. Every weekend they have block parties on Friday and Saturday nights.

On a recent Sunday afternoon, downtown Orlando seemed pretty dead until we came upon Wall St. Plaza where all the party people were living it up. Venues are set in historic buildings and include Rivals Activity Bar, Rodeo All American Bar, Fixtion, Cantina, Warped Pour, The Monkey Bar, and the Hen House. In the middle is an open area plaza with tables and chairs where people can drink, hang out, and watch sports events on the large screens.

We came to have a drink at Bellhop which was much quieter than the activity outside but this looks like a really fun place to get food and a drink. I look forward to coming back and exploring more of the businesses.“

“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!! 😊“

“awesome people,friendly atmosphere, and as cheers would say, A place where everyone knows your name..lol“

“I loved having poolside service. The nachos are amazing! I also had some fun trying a new drink this year and OMG it may have been a little overboard price wise but it was the best drink I have ever had hands down and so refreshing to have while in the pool.“

“Staff is amazing and has a great vibe“

“Everybody was nice the time that it says it will be ready was the time it was actually ready. It was fresh. It was hot. It was crispy. I had the right cheese to sauce to Crust ratio I think it’s the best pizza in Orlando right now. It’s gonna be hard to find a spot that’s better. I’ll be going there at least once a week now.
I recommend getting the chili sauce if your into sweet n spicy“

“The Hopping Pot is a great stop when you’re not quite ready for a full meal but want to grab a drink and relax. It’s the perfect place to take a break while still soaking in the atmosphere.
The hot Butterbeer is our favorite—absolutely delicious and a must-have, especially on cooler days. We always make a point to stop here.“

“Have a drink, play some darts, become family.“

“Came here earlier today for the first time and I was blown away! Such small detail in everything. Feels so warm and cozy inside. The outside dining is fantastic! Our server was so attentive and super nice! 10/10 would recommend! Also food is amazing!! Natalie was such an angel ❤️❤️❤️“
