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.

Sometimes its hard to get a drink but they're so good, affordable, great presentation. Soft warm lighting. They also decorate for holidays.

Bartender Jake made sure I was taken care of. Drinks were delicious. I didn't have any of the food, but the drinks were perfect.
Every time I’ve gone to Guesthouse, I’ve had a terrible experience. The acoustics are horrendous—it’s just a big, echo chamber box where every sound bounces and gets painfully louder as more people arrive. For anyone even remotely sensitive to noise, it’s an instant sensory overload.
The lighting is just as bad: super dark inside, with harsh, awkward shadows that make it hard to see people’s faces, especially in the early evening when daylight outside only makes the contrast worse. It somehow manages to be both gloomy and unflattering at the same time.
Honestly, I’d rather go to the shabbiest dive bar in Orlando than come back here. The drinks are fine, but nothing about the atmosphere makes up for how physically uncomfortable it is to be here. I’m actually sitting outside right now, just trying to pull myself together before I leave.
They really need to fix the lighting and the acoustics. Until then, I can’t recommend this place to anyone.

Loyal customer 4 years until a drunk bartender assaulted me and shared my private info during a parking lot incident. Bar took no accountability and later banned me without reason. Stay cautious.

Nice vibe, but way too much ice in the drinks.

Just go! Have an Old fashioned, thank me later.

A little pricier than most places but their creative cocktails are worth it . Dim lit and a nice place to run into likeminded people
