34 Best Beer Bars in Orlando

“This place nails a lot of the things that actually matter. The food is genuinely good—simple menu, but what they do, they do well. Service is on point too—attentive without hovering, which is rarer than it should be. And the ambiance? Really solid. It’s the kind of spot you actually want to hang out in for a while.

Now for the gripe, because there is one. The beer list leans hard into IPAs. Like… aggressively. If you’re into that, you’ll be thrilled. If you’re not, your options shrink fast. Lagers are there, sure—but for those of us who don’t want either a pinecone explosion or something ultra-light, it’s slim pickings.

All I’m asking for is one good brown or porter on tap. Just one. Not a full lineup, not a seasonal rotation, just a single solid, darker option so it doesn’t feel like a one-note beer menu. No one needs six variations of the same IPA—spread the love a little.

Overall, it’s a great spot that’s this close to being a go-to. Just give the non-IPA crowd a bone and you’ve got something for everyone. A special thanks to Connor (Albert) for making this a memorable and enjoyable experience for us. It is definitely on our list of regulars every time we are in town.“

“We're here to visit. Stop in here. Absolutely fantastic. Fully recommend. Great food.“

“Papa Llama, 2840 Curry Ford Road, Orlando- 4-Stars Michelin Recommended- Bib Gourmand! Peruvian immigrants, Kevin and Maria Ruiz, say they founded Papa Llama in 2016 as an experimental pop up and opened the doors of this location in August 2020. In 2022, they earned the Michelin Guide's coveted "Bib Gourmand" award for establishments that serve good food at reasonable prices so naturally, I got excited. Paulina, my server, was well prepared and knowledgeable, making for an auspicious beginning in a gorgeous environment featuring good prices for dishes that could be made to satisfy both carnivores and herbivores alike. I ordered the entire family style menu which was, according to Papa Llama, "designed to be tasted together, shared, and fought over." So much food for just over a hundred dollars. The prices may have been cheap but the taste and quality of (most) victuals valieron un Perú! A hearty Big Boy Thank You (Sulpayki!) to Kevin and Maria and the culinary dactylograms of their ancestors, on this amazing cuisine (Somaq Mihuna!). The first item on the menu was Olives--whole green Castelvetrano olives marinated in house with aji panca--which were so delectable I could eat them all day. Next, the Red + Gold Beets, a minty beet salad with honey ají amarillo vinaigrette, queso fresco, and candied pistachio, which started out smooth and creamy and ended with a pleasantly piquant bite. Papas a la Huancaína followed, a fingerling potato dish with spicy aji amarillo cream, wakatay (black mint) salsa verde, and beef chicharron, topped with a fried egg. The potatoes themselves were not the star, but the combination of flavors in the sauce were amazing, unctuous but smooth. Papa Llama carries a long list of natural wines, more wines than food items, actually. That evening, I chose the Yuzu Sake, and may I say, "Holy smokes!" How refreshing after consuming so many peppers. The rest of the dishes I would give 4.5 to 5-Stars, EXCEPT for the side of frozen Sysco French fries which almost ruined an otherwise stellar meal. There are over 300 kinds of potatoes in Peru. Over 300! Perhaps in the United States we don't have the same abundance as found in El Valle Sagrado (the Sacred Valley) but, por favor, do not stoop to this! The Big Boy says, "Eat here. All the authentic Peruvian flavors at Papa Llama are 5-Star, but skip the fries, which are a corporate conglomerate frozen food disappointment."“

“Fantastic dining experience! Thank you to chef Tim Lovero and your team. Impeccable service, excellent flavors and beautiful presentation! 10/10!“

“The Chefs Dinner menu in December was exquisite!“

“The Filipino food was authentic and reasonably priced. Friendly customer service. Suited for all ages. Very clean restrooms.“

“The food and drinks are fantastic, and the atmosphere is even better! You immediately feel a sense of community and a warm welcome the moment you arrive. With a wide selection of drinks (both alcoholic and non) and amazing food — especially the chicken nachos and cheese curds — this place is a must. The owners and staff are wonderful, and it’s definitely worth a visit whether you’re local or visiting the amusement parks.“

“Awesome pizza! I love the Detroit style pizza.“

“Excellent concept! Great food trucks!“

“Awesome place good selection! and friendly staff!“

“The atmosphere was gorgeous. They also have an outdoor patio area. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, explaining the setup and how it works to order what is right for you. And the food... was not what I imagined at all. It was AMAZING! And beautifully arranged. Every veggie and seafood item was very fresh! I give 5 of 5 stars. I had tempura shrimp, crab salad, extra tempura shrimp, red cabbage, carrots, scallions, and eel sauce. The bowls are $16 a piece, but good size portions. Will definitely go back 100%. I wish I had taken photos before I devoured it. Lol Thank you guys!“

“This shop is located in Isle of Berk at Epic Universe. I tried the Dragon's Garden Pyre, which came with chicken, avocado spread, and crushed Cheetos. Overall, it was pretty good and definitely interesting to try after seeing it go viral.
The flavors worked well together, but there was hardly any chicken in mine, and the chicken itself tasted just okay. The bread also felt like there was more of it than the mac and cheese filling. Even with that, it was still a fun and unique item to try at least once.
Overall, I'd say it's worth trying one time if you're visiting the park and want to experience some of the viral foods there.
I ordered through the universal App and picked up“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“If you’re looking for a great country bar, this is the place to be! The drinks are always made perfectly, the atmosphere is fun and welcoming, and they consistently put on awesome events that keep everyone coming back. Whether you’re stopping in for a casual night out or one of their special events, there’s always a good time waiting.

A big shoutout to Paige for always providing amazing service. She’s friendly, attentive, and helps make every visit even better. Highly recommend checking this place out!“

“My favorite restaurant in town! Excellent service and food.“

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

“Best in the area for craft beer. Hard to choose a beer when all the choices are 🔥“

“Our bartender Adrianna was amazing! She’s the absolute best! 😁 Food and drinks were super!“

“First time visiting Sickie’s from Northern Ireland, amazing from start to finish. If visiting, ask for Chester, he was a fantastic server and brilliant with our 5 year old and checking to make sure everything was okay. My partner wasn’t sure what beer to have and Chester was able to select one for him (which he really enjoyed). Food was great and so fresh! Atmosphere and decor was awesome! Will definitely be back!“

“Great place to eat after a long day at the parks!! Plus they have a menu for your furry friends!!“

“Some of the best theme park food I have ever had! Beautiful and elegant atmosphere, very clean, and the food was absolutely delicious! I had a crepe for lunch and then back for dinner for the Quiche Lorraine. Perfect size portions and perfectly made! My friend had serious allergies and the chef came out to talk to her, and made sure her meals were safe and delicious!“

“First time in here was sitting at the bar and the bartender came within 30 seconds of asking me what I would like. Very elegant place even though it’s a hole in the wall it’s very nice if you come down to Florida, you have to visit this place.“

“What a hidden gem! Great service and even better food. The owner has a heart of gold which explains why this has been in business so long!“

“I loved our experience at Grande Lakes except for one thing. The pool! One day I was looking down at the pool and notice something off about the main pool. The big pool in the middle was greenish/brown! I called down to the desk and the said they would check it out. At that point my kids had already been in it. I was supposed annoyed. I also called the recreation department. I still have not heard a response to what it was that was wrong with the pool?“

“Wonderful dinner with my family looking forward to many family nite outs!!!!“

“quesadilla off tha chizain“

“The Baseline: For a theme park bar that also serves food, the drinks must be good, the food offerings must fit the establishment, and the service needs to make the experience fun in line with theme bar.

Food: Alcoholic Drinks are served here. I tried the Lobe Blaster which was very effervescent with a citrus hit that paired well with the moonshine. It was a great drink!

Service: Universal Cast members were friendly, inviting and kept to the character of the Wizarding World while still providing information. Great service!

Atmosphere: I was in magical Paris and Bar Moonshine is an integral part of that immersion. You will love having a drink here if you like the Harry Potter universe.“

“Ate the food too fast to even get a picture !!! Sorry y’all but it was smelling too good to not dive in 😆“

“I like this place. Food is good and made fresh and I think prices are reasonable, especially given it’s inside a hotel. They have burgers, salads, a few kids options and lots of different drinks and packaged foods. The people are very nice and helpful. $15 for a burger and fries, $12 for a chicken Caesar salad and $11 for kids meals.“

“We stumbled upon Whisper Creek and it was the best surprise. We were searching for BBQ and / or Mac and cheese on our way home from the outlets. Everything we had was amazing. Shandreas was our server and she was great too! The food was delicious and the drinks were top notch. We will be back!“
