5 Stars for an outdoor, somewhat hidden, metal-themed tiki bar. I could legit end the review there and it should be compelling enough to get you to check out Dirty Laundry. But fine, I'll go on.Love me some Mills50 bar hopping and I usually end up at Lil Indies at some point. Well, recently I walked towards the entrance to Indies and kept walking past it towards the faint sound of drums. What I stumbled upon was the most absurdly wonderful oasis in town- Dirty Laundry.Picture picnic tables and little nooks for seating, all under the stars, and fantastic tiki drinks with fun names. Then picture the most random assortment of patrons (me included, in this case), and metal playing over the speakers. It's not tidy and it's not meant to be.The drinks are strong and good (knowing the level of bartenders at Lil Indies, you can imagine the drinks aren't the kind of syrupy junk you might find at a college bar). I highly recommend bringing out of town eta because it reflects the bizarre juxtaposition of themes that are pervasive in Orlando. Overall, always a win ending up here.

Sickest bar this side of earth, I got the best alcohol free drink I’ve ever had in my life basically changed my entire thought process of life on this earth. I’m starting to understand string theory now? I became a physics teacher the next day and started writing a thesis on the probability of multi universe travel. Thank you for changing my life

Interesting spot. Heavy metal bar which you can presume it attracts your heavy metal crowd. While serving tiki bar esq drinks/cocktails.

2019 Review 96/100 A pretty cool little outside bar. Fun to stop by if you're bar hopping around Mills 50 and the weather is nice. It can get pretty crowded depending on the night. Since the place is small, that can make it difficult to actually get to the bar. The weather plays a big factor as well since Dirty Laundry is outdoors. If it's cold or rainy, you'll want to skip this bar. But if you're there on an off night and the weather is good it's pretty OK. Not a bar I stay at long typically but it's a good place for a drop-in on your way to somewhere else.

Metal and tiki cocktails?! This place is great. Fun little spot behind Lil Indies with tasty and pretty cheap tiki cocktails. No big frills. A casual setup with a small patio with some picnic tables to hang out with your friends and enjoy your drinks. The last time I was there, I can't remember the name of the cocktail I tried, but it was a delicious blend of coconut, elderflower, vanilla, and citrus. The bartender was very nice and would give you more details about each drink and offer suggestions depending on the strength of the drink, flavor preferences, etc so you'd find something you'd enjoy.

Cute little outside bar, but not really fun on a cold night. My sisters and brother-in-law came here to grab a drink based on the high star rating, but I didn't know it was outside. The drinks sound fun and they tasted good (we tasted each other's drinks), but they were all full of sugar. Good thing Lil Indies is attached...see my review for that joint.
Great atmosphere
