Racism and discrimination is a common theme in this bar, as you can clearly see if you go through the 1 star reviews. The white male bartender HIS NAME IS DJ should really learn some social skills before he addresses crowds. Such a nasty individual to anyone who isn’t white. I am a short individual and I cannot see across high surfaces, DJ decided it would be cool to yell at me to “get off his bar” while I was leaning to look at what they had on tap and the moonshine menu. He proceeded to gossip about me to other patrons, including my partner and friends claiming that “I was the issue, and they were cool”. After I stepped outside, my group also told me he said verbatim “I shouldn’t even be serving you guys because you’re not tipping enough”. I of course was angered by this, since we had left a 20% tip as a group on our first round on a 60$+ tab. I went over to speak to the supervisor and DJ ran through the bar to berate me again and call me a liar, even though there were SEVERAL patrons complaining and signaling him out for his nasty and rude behavior: in summary, if Casey’s wants to thrive and actually have people come back, maybe they should train their bartenders to not be entitled, combative, rude and genuinely discriminatory.

Came here on vacation with a group of 10, we all spent around $50 a person except myself, because a bartender by the name DJ decided it would be okay to berate me, a 4'11 female, for leaning over the bar to order. I believe in tipping appropriately for the service you receive, and I'm not going to tip someone an exorbitant amount for berating me over a $4 drink. he continued to ridicule and mock me, saying verbatim to my friends "You guys are good, she's the problem" after my tip wasnt "satisfactory". he also told the rest of the group that "he shouldn't even be serving us because we are not tipping him enough". If DJ wants good tips, maybe he should learn how to be a pleasant human being. I brought this up to the supervisor on shift, an Asian female, and he ran towards me in order to argue with my complaint and claim that I was lying, even though my group and several patrons were also complaining about him specifically. it is truly a shame that we received such awful service from that man, because it truly is a great bar and has a great atmospher. I would heavily consider DJ get sensitivity training and maybe polish his people skills in order to not drive further patrons away. Steer clear from Casey's on Central.

Horrible service and staff!!! Very ride disrespectful. They seem to be homophobic and racist. White male bartender and bartender with black hair. Oct 24th should not be working there. They only wanted to serve the white people in our group. It's absolutely ridiculous. Do not come here!!!

Was visiting my family in Orlando. My aunt and I wanted to go out for the night. She recommended Casey's where her and my uncle frequently go. We were able to sit on a high top table outside and enjoy the night and people watch. I will drinks for me and great taste it great we also enjoyed the free popcorn from the popcorn machine inside the bar later on that night, we got hotdogs from across the street. Lol. Great Saturday night downtown!

Carolyn is an excellent bartender and terrific conversationalist, my beer stayed cold and the free popcorn is a nice touch! The service she provided was satisfying and the vibe is welcoming, definitely a good bar(:
If you're looking for a classy bar downtown, this may not be the best option. However, this place is a must-visit if you plan to have a fun night out. It's a great spot to pre-game before heading to a club, and it's also perfect for sitting outside and people-watching. The bar has live music on weekends and offers free popcorn all the time. The staff is extremely friendly and always happy to help, even during busy times. I highly recommend this Orlando staple.

This is a must-stop kind of place if you're going downtown Orlando - super fun, casual vibe. Popcorn machine on deck. Twisted Tea on draft?! You don't see that everywhere! Today's special is $5 moonshine shots, but it's always changing and there always SOMETHING on special. The bartenders are always so cool, no matter who you get. This is really popular among the locals and definitely worth your time. Also, FYI have live music often on the weekends if you're into that too!

Bar was empty on a Sunday and I had been in before. Thought I’d stop here to grab some popcorn and bounce to another bar, but the bartenders took offense to this and kicked us out. There were no posted signs of this rule, and I think the bartenders are just money hungry and made it up. Not really our fault that the bar is empty.
