Very crowded usually. Also, very dark. Good place to socialize though.

This is a nice place to hangout with your friends. Great drinks/vibes. There are indoor and outdoor area. Indoor is kinda pack in the weekend, but eventually, you should be able to find a seat.

has a really cool vibe. The atmosphere is relaxed, the bartenders are friendly, and it’s a great spot to hang out and talk.
Just a heads-up: if you go on a busy night like Friday or Saturday, you might wait more than 15 minutes to place your order. That’s pretty much the weekend vibe here… Lots of people, lots of movement, and a packed bar.
Still, it’s a genuinely nice place. I personally prefer going on weekdays because everything flows faster, but it’s totally understandable why weekends get so crowded. It’s a well-loved spot with good energy.
Definitely worth checking out.

On August 29th, I visited this establishment to celebrate a friend’s birthday and opened a $50 tab. After the transaction was processed on my card, I requested to pay in cash instead and asked the bartender (short brown hair with glasses) if the card charge could be refunded. She confirmed that the refund would be issued and accepted the cash payment, including her tip. My card was still charged. I returned the following day, driving 40 minutes, to resolve the issue because the voicemail box was full and could not accept messages. The bartender informed me that only a manager could process refunds. I provided my contact information and was told I would receive a call on Tuesday. No one contacted me. The following week, I returned in person again and repeated the process. This time, I was assured my situation would be escalated to the owner and I would receive a follow-up call on Tuesday. Despite these assurances, nearly two months have passed without any communication or resolution. It is deeply disappointing to encounter such a lack of accountability and customer service from a place I previously enjoyed. I strongly encourage others to review their credit card statements for potential discrepancies. I will not be returning.

Awesome security detail, my friends and I originally loved this place because we felt SAFE… but don’t get too comfortable here. Apparently some of the bar staff (Sean) will gossip about you and recruit other employees (Sydney[and ex employees, Gabriel]) in attempt to bully you and even incite violence. Luckily security deescalated the situation but it feels a lot like a high school drama here.
As a business owner myself, I believe management should take their responsibility more seriously in who they choose to run the spot when they’re gone. I attempted to contact management about the issue and got no response as they seem to ignore emails & the phone mailbox stays full so you cannot leave a message.
But on the upside, Dallas makes great drinks! & some nights the music is upbeat and versatile which makes me wanna buy more drinks as it’s a nice change from the usual rock or elevator tunes. But unfortunately, my friends and I no longer feel safe here so we’re looking for something new.
Lo
The service here is always great, but they desperately need to clean their bar. All the times I’ve been recently in the past year, the bar smells like vinegar and god knows what else. So I just stick to bottled beer when I go. They need to deep clean. I cannot imagine what their spouts and ice makers look like.

Sydney has been a pleasure! She made my drink very well! Guesthouse is a chill inviting spot. They may not have a kitchen. Don’t hesitate to stop next door to grab some delicious tacos! Yes you’re allowed to bring them over! Some drinks & tacos never go wrong!

To wrap up my “Negroni Week” (which, let’s be honest, turned into more of a Negroni month 😅), we headed to The Guesthouse. The vibe was effortlessly cool, and the staff made us feel right at home, welcoming, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about their craft.
I went straight for the Strawberry Sbagliato: Chambéryzette, Campari, a pinch of salt, and sparkling wine. It was refreshing, bubbly, and delicious. Not exactly a Negroni, but the Campari still shone through, giving it that bittersweet edge I crave. Definitely a perfect celebratory sip.
Somewhere in the visit, we ordered another drink, but let’s just say Negroni Week had caught up with me, and the details got a little fuzzy. 😅 What I do remember is chatting with one of the bartenders about Enrico Toro Centerba 72, a unique Italian liqueur they use in cocktails. That kind of insider conversation is what makes places like this so memorable.

The Guesthouse is my absolute favorite bar in all of Orlando, and it holds so many memories of my time living in this city. The service is excellent and the drinks are great! The atmosphere is super vibey and it's the perfect environment to enjoy drinks with friends.
Unsure, environment was nice though
