50 Best Cocktail Bars in Orlando

“Stopped in for Magical Dining. Was a bit skeptical because of the reviews but so glad I went! Everything tasted great! The server was friendly and knowledgeable. A little more attentive would have been nice as we did have to flag our server down a few times. Would def recommend!“

“Amazing dining experience! Every single member of the staff was attentive and beyond helpful. The food, as always was outstanding (try their $38 3 course tasting menu for a little bit of everything). HUGE shout out to Dylan at reception, I accidentally messed up my reservation and he went above and beyond to accommodate our party. 11 out of 10, Orlando staple.“

“Love! Best truly Mexican food in a long while!“

“We went to TORI TORI for the first time last weekend. The food and drinks were amazing, but I can’t give the restaurant more than 4 stars. The way the place works is a bit different: you find your own seat, then go to the bar to order both your food and drinks. After that, you can either stay at the bar or go back to your table. We tried the blue crab dip, crab croquette, crab rice, scallop crudo, beef skewers, tomato skewers, scallion and cheese pepper skewers ~ all of them were delicious. The drinks were also really good. They have food runners who bring the food to you, but you still have to go order everything yourself at the bar. The mix of self-service and table service was interesting, but I didn’t love having to wait in line to order and still being expected to tip over 20% (which we did). The bartenders (ours was Thanathep) were very busy, which made sense since it was a Sunday night. I really enjoyed the food and drinks, but because of the service style, I’d give it 4 stars.“

“My husband found this gem online and figured we’d enjoy it since we are fans of shareable and tapas style dishes. Brendan (sp?) was our server. He was kind and attentive. The food options were healthy, fun, and creative. I especially enjoyed the dumplings and my husband devoured his mochi Wangz. We also tried Mr. Rice Guy which didn’t quite give the oomph we were looking forward to. Drunken Belly was pretty decent (a few pieces were a tad too fatty to fully enjoy). We’d 100% go back for the atmosphere and aesthetics alone. Service was phenomenal and the vibes were super chill.“

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

“Great food and atmosphere. Convenient location.“

“From the moment we sat down, Connor was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the craft. The cocktail menu was impressive, but Connor took it to another level, crafting a custom mocktail based on my preferences—perfectly balanced and beautifully presented.

Not only did Connor mix flawless drinks, but the hospitality was impeccable. Engaging without being intrusive, Connor made us feel like regulars on our first visit. If you’re looking for a bartender who elevates your night out from just another drink to an unforgettable experience, this is the place.“

“It was our first time visiting for magical dining. We actually arrived an hour earlier than our scheduled reservation and they seated us immediately. The atmosphere was amazing and the service was superb! Katrina, our server provided detailed explanations of the menu and gave great recommendations. Even before we entered, Peter, the valet, welcomed us like we were old friends. He recommended Ana’s Cosmo, which was divine. The meal came in “waves” and each wave seemed interchangeable and complemented the previous one. We wanted for nothing the entire evening. Christopher, the general manager, was attentive and made us feel at home. Overall, it was a lovely evening and we will definitely return—only next time we will book a room at the Wave Hotel and make it a proper staycation.“

“Good cocktails on happy hour“

“I love this place! I go in for amazing food during the day and if I decide to go out at night it is the perfect spot to be. Different dj’s every night which allows people with different music taste to enjoy. Also, pizza till 1 am… Can’t complain“

“Absolutely amazing service. Jojo was fantastic, as were our 2 waiters this evening. We sat outside, beautiful atmosphere. Food was excellent. 5+stars. We are lucky to be local, we will be back!“

“The Monroe was fantastic! From the atmosphere to the food and service, everything was spot on.“

“Great atmosphere and great steak!!“

“Excellent food, wait staff and over all service. Great experience every time I visit“

“So delicious! Excellent service from everyone, especially our server Shaun. He was so thorough and answered all our questions. The Cedar Key clams were to die for! I had the scallops and my husband had the burger for dinner- so freaking amazing ! I can’t say enough about this place! The owner was walking through the dining room checking on everyone, greeting everyone - thank you Carol for an exceptional experience!“

“Was incredible. The cheezus is a must. The spice from the bomb that was added into my Ramen made it just right for me(if you enjoy spicy) The shishito peppers accompanied the ramen perfectly. Our server Brandon was amazing and attentive, fun guy! All around, I highly recommend this place.“

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

“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 Christmas Cocktails for the start to our Christmas Party 2022! Working with Hurst was fun and he made recommendations that were a success.“

“excellent service!!!! very good food“

“We had an awesome meal and the service was excellent! Very pleasant, quick and delicious!!!“

“My wife and were anxiously waiting for this restaurant to open. We went this Friday (May 5th) and were not disappointed. First, the restaurant is beautifully decorated. The ambient music was at a perfect level with a definite South Beach feel. We interacted with several servers and each of them provided excellent service. The menu has enough diversity to satisfy anyone's tastes. To start, we had an appetizer that consisted of scallops covers in parmesan cheese that was melted at the table with a torch. For our entrees, I had a beef dish (Lomo Saltado), while my wife had a pork dish (Arroz chaufa with pork). Everything was delicious. They have quite a few specialty drinks in their cocktail menu. We each had a different drink and both were very tasty. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at Piscos and look forward to going back.“

“I don't remember too much from this night. but I remember speaking with a co-owner, he was a great guy.

To the girl who returned my passport the following day, THANKYOU!!!! I would be stuck in Orlando losing other possessions without you!“

“This is our favorite place for fun cocktails and local goodies 😃“

“Excellent concept! Great food trucks!“

“This is a fantastic craft cocktail and tapas bar. 1000/10. The drinks were delightful (some of the best in the Orlando area), the tapas were delicious, the atmosphere was excellent, the service was amazing, AND the prices were extremely acceptable. I'll 1000% be back!“

“Best Place to Hang . Great People Jen, Will , great music from Greg, awesome Live shows from Eugene and his 5 Pints of Truth( like Pascal awesome Guitarist, Kate Great Voice, ….), … great patronage Josh, Nigel, JayMob and so much more! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍“

“Very very good food“

“Loved this place! You need a code to get in. Great drinks! I loved the vibe. Definitely going back!!!“

“This place has great tasting tacos. And, on Tuesdays there are discounts on drinks and tacos! The guacamole is made at your table and you can have it customized to your taste. It is quite loud, so be prepared to have your outdoor voice prepared. :) It isn't really a family dining place, though I did see some families with young kids. It's more of an after work hangout or a good place for a date. The service here was very good.“

“As a vendor who brought an event rental, highly recommend this venue.“

“Beef on weck was great. Loved the atmosphere. I recommend especially if you are from western NY the hidden treasures through out the bar will entertain you Thanks for the great meal and will see u next time we are through there“

“I highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for a place to stay before flying out. I stay at this hotel every time I go down to Orlando and it is very convenient to book for your next day flight. The restaurants are great. The staff is amazing. The balcony view is unmatched. It is a little more expensive to stay here compared to your average hotel, but you won’t regret picking this Hotel over every other one out there. Spend the cash and stay here. It’s worth it.“

“Stiffys has been the best bear on Saturday nights. All bartenders are wonderful and take great care of their guests. I will always recommend them for their exceptional guest service and willingness to go above and beyond. From: Carlos D. Kissimmee, FL“

“It's a fun cool spot to chill and have drinks. especially on Friday night with Disco in the city boy. he also is the number one DJ in the city“

“We had their quesadilla and orange and pineapple mimosas! they were delish!! highly recommend. The atmosphere was super beautiful too!!“

“The food was great. Definitely ShinJung quality. But our waitress, Hailey, was what made the experience everything it was. She was friendly and attentive. She went above and beyond to make sure we had a great first time here and had an excellent handle on the menu.“

“Great local spot perfect for starting your night out! They offer relatively affordable drinks, and the bartenders are pretty cool. There's a pool table that you don't have to pay for, darts, and lots of comfortable places to sit. Outside is a chill vibe as well, with several seats and tables out front - I've been there 3 times, and it's never been super crowded. Parking can be a challenge at times, but there are lots nearby to park at. I recommend starting out here if you're bar hopping and then walking to the mills (about a 5 minute walk, and you'll pass several bars along the way)“

“Overall it was a great experience. The steak was cooked perfectly. The martinis are excellent but the bourbon selection is a little lacking. Service could have been more attentive but he was friendly and everything else was great. Would definitely go again“

“Lugar sensacional 🚀, recomendo !!“

“Bartenders were fantastic...fun joint!“

“Amazing food and amazing atmosphere! David and his team provided excellent service! We will definitely be back!“

“Was very impressed. My date and I had the cornbread , oyster rockefeller and the truffle deviled eggs, impressive intricate cajun menu“

“Lamp & Shade in the heart of Mills 50 Orlando lovely restaurant with an astonishing unique ambiance. I went yesterday evening to check out this restaurant and I was certainly impressed by the crafted food and delicious cocktails.“

“I spoke with the manager Ozan regarding a birthday celebration I wanted to have for my husband. He was very helpful in answering all questions and making sure the set up for our party of 25 was beautiful. Him and the staff relocated the tables under the pavilion when realizing the weather conditions right before the start of the dinner. He ensured our party was taken care of from start to finish. The lamb and the appetizers were amazing! Beautiful place to enjoy family and friends and take pictures.“

“Food was good and nice atmosphere. Quick service , nice happy hour.“

“Amazing atmosphere to hang out grab a drink and eat great food!“

“We were entertaining friends from out of town and Christner's again provided a great meal and experience for all. Matt was our server as Kevin was out, and service was excellent. I will be back to celebrate my birthday on October 18. Thank you!“

“I love everything about it , it a enjoyable place to go, thank you for your service,“
