“My #1 favorite brewery around Orlando. Beer quality and selection/variety is incredible, staff is consistently amazing. Their kitchen is great, when it's not open, they always make sure to have some of the best food trucks in the area out front. Underburg minis are always a great finish!“

“The beauty of the craft beer phenomenon is that there is no cookie cutter approach to making and serving beer. Each brewery has its own distinct vibe, target market, and atmospherics. That’s probably why I love visiting as many as possible, because it never gets old.Ten10 has long been one of our favorites. It was one of our mandatories on the Central Florida Ale Trail back in 2017, when there were only about 16 breweries on the trail. It’s a little bigger now. And, thanks to the genius behind establishing these ale trails in the first place, we were able to sample pretty much everything Orlando had to offer at the time, which helped us form new preferences. That’s another way of saying we’ve been back many times.Located alongside the Orlando Urban Trail in the Ivanhoe Park district, Ten10 certainly has a well-qualified audience from which to draw clientele. It has the look and feel of a neighborhood brewery, without pretense. Instead of looking and feeling like what an IKEA-owned brewery might appear, Ten10 and their hodgepodge display of beer cans and glass growlers either collected or donated through the years produces a vibe that reeks in authenticity.And we could tell from the NYE 2023 customers that we were the outliers, seated in a booth, while everyone else was at the bar, no doubt their standard M.O.While the Speigensall was tapped out (7% ABV, a hazy IPA), I went with old standby East West (7% ABV, a standard American IPA). It did not disappoint. And since it was still the holiday season, I had a short pour of Bad Santa (6.5% ABV, a Brown Ale with a hint of winter seasoning). It left me feeling jolly, as much so as a visit a year ago left me happy after Santa’s White Christmas (7% ABV, a Golden Stout). We followed up with a huge pretzel, accompanied by beer cheese and a spicy mustard that was a little more horseradish than it was mustard.It was all good, though, and we’ll be back many more times.“
“The best part of the Duff Beer Garden is Demar who is a superlative bartender. He is the definition of outstanding service, hardworking and awesome personality. We came by any day we were in the park to have a Duff Oktoberfest and eat our park food at bar. Regular Duff Beer and Lite are fine but the Oktoberfest was the beer to chose. The everything pretzel was also very tasty. The location blocks the sun and you get fans overhead to keep you cool. Again the place should be called Demar's Buff Beer Garden. Hang out and have fun.“
“I had a great time here, with a few bites and drinks. I met the manager, Jay who talked to me and like 8 other tables. She was so polite and asked us what else we needed. Great service from the staff and management will bring us back when we revisit in June. On a side note the bartender tonight was also a highlight!“
“Service was quite friendly and tolerant of our kids. We got some fried mozzarella which was quite well flavored. We also got personal pizzas of the cheese, margarita and pepperoni variety. They were all very good. I would highly recommend this pizza joint!“
“We sat in the bar area, ordered a truffle loaf. You can't miss with that. Huge cocktails selection. Everything was delicious. I went with a friend who is a former chef and still works in the food industry, it is his favorite place in Orlando.Parking: It's a super popular place. When I got there parking was that an absolute minimum and you had to do valet. I drove around the block to find free street parking.“
“The beer here is phenomenal. It's about as close to perfect as beer can possibly get without being brewed in heaven. The vibe is like if Mary Shelley decided to team up with Edgar Allan Poe and they opened a cool pub with excellent soft pretzels. 5/5 stars, highly recommend. Love everything about this brewery.“
