Gothic vibe, cheap drinks, and a pool table. Bring a friend

George Doujaiji

Amazing spot, the drinks I tried were lovely, the bartender that served me was great, it's an amazing looking place, and they've got a pool table which was very fun.

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)

Absolute incompetent bartenders who go on their phones constantly and racially profile, the worst experience in all of the Orlando area.

Good bar, cocktails were made well.

One of the few remaining spots for locals that doesn’t get packed like a can of sardines. The drinks here are well made, the crowd is always diverse and down to earth. No uptight bougie stuff here, their version of a mule kicks ass and takes names. Recommend if you wanna just unwind, plenty of food in the area as well.

The free games in the back room are always a favorite.

Vibe central! Chandler at the bar whipping up great cocktails. His personality definitely added to our awesome experience here.

Simple, Spanish/Catholic inspired digs. Pool table, darts, comfy sofas, tasty cocktails and good company can all be found here.

The energy is always in good paces when Tiffany is working! Even with a packed bar, she always takes the time to acknowledge waiting guests while still maintaining superior drink execution. It’s also refreshing to see someone who makes a little effort in their appearance !

I love the atmosphere at The Matador. It’s a great local spot to grab a drink after a long day and the staff is always so down to earth. The girl bartender is really funny and pours a mean drink. I’d go back there for her alone.

Shocked is an understatement for how our group was treated at this bar. Go here if you’d like to be berated by bartenders in front of other patrons, pushed, spit and even cursed at by barbacks for absolutely no reason. Nobody in our group were belligerent or rude. The hostility by staff was unfathomable and disappointing as we are all locals and have worked in the industry. Our group were made out to be nuisances for trying to enjoy a last beverage at last call and the staff targeted only our friends of color but continued to serve their friends instead in front of us. Stop going here.

Worst experience ever. First Tiffany was our bartender and she was super shady and rude. Our group only had 2 drinks each and asked for shots 5 mins before closing and the staff came over in our face to force us out of the bar. Even grabbed one of my friends' drinks out of his hand. Excuse me? It's not illegal to ask for a shot BEFORE 2am. They corned one of my friends like they were about to jump him too. Absolute disgusting behavior. We all work in the industry so to see a bar act like that was unbelievable.

Tiffany is rude!!! My friends were racially profiled last night and forced/ pushed out. Unbelievable behavior by a neighborhood bar.
