12 Best Craft Breweries near Windermere

“What a hidden gem! We are in Orlando today, and decided to stop at a few breweries. The beers from Windermere were great! Cleaned and defined flavor, and so tasty. The hazy and West Coast IPAs were amazing! The brewery itself is very quaint and pretty.“

“We live nearby and go all the time. Why? Great beer selection, good prices for craft beer, super nice staff, and totally chill vibe. They usually have food trucks or you can bring in any food you like. They have plenty of seating considering inside and out. They also allow dogs inside, which is great when the weather sucks. Also a covered area outside. Highly recommend. They also frequent have live music or games. Check it out!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had the most exceptional experience at BJ’s Brewhouse on I-Drive in Orlando this past Saturday for a surprise 50th birthday dinner, and we are still on cloud nine from how beautifully everything turned out! From the moment we began planning, the entire process was seamless, and the staff went above and beyond to make this celebration unforgettable. Every detail was handled with care and professionalism—from the helpful communication ahead of time to the outstanding service on the day of the event. A special shoutout to our amazing servers Mark, Leylani, and Edgar—you were absolutely phenomenal! Warm, attentive, and incredibly accommodating, you made our group feel truly celebrated. We also want to thank the management team who ensured everything ran smoothly and welcomed our family with kindness and joy. If you’re looking for a place to host a special event or just want great food and incredible service, BJ’s on I-Drive is the place to go. THANK YOU for helping us create such meaningful memories—we are beyond grateful!“

“The hopping pot has a great assortment of drinks and three types of hand pies (half circle pie crust), veggies, chicken and beef. They are hand size for $10.
They sell gillywater which is just bottled water, but if you ask for a cup of water they will give you a plastic cup full of ice water for free.“

“Great atmosphere on a Friday night, but for me the food fell a little short. I’m from Buffalo and my uncle, who is also a Winter Garden resident told me before I went that the Beef was “ok”, and he was right. If it was a stand alone sandwich that I had at any other place, I’d say it’s a good bite, but something is off here. The roll, the beef, the mouthfeel, is just like 10% off from my usual Barbill in East Aurora. I also ordered the wings, 10 piece, and I felt the same way. My wife had the pizza and it was fine, I’m not judging it because it was billed as Buffalo pizza, but if it was, I’d give it the same “ok”.

The beer was great, both Gameday and the IPA. Service is great, attentive, and fast. The atmosphere was lively. I bet this place goes off on Sundays.

I’ll be back, but drinking beer.“

“This is another favorite relaxing location for me. I normally have 2 to 4 beers and a pretzel or food from a nearby food stand and get some people watching in and check up on my phone notifications.

The bar also plays clips from popular Simpsons episodes. Sometimes I use this area to wait for the nest showing of the horror make up show, though you should leave a little early to hit up the restrooms at ET before heading into the show..“

“Lea is a very good server. The food portions were large and the beer was flavorful. My fish and chips were a little overcooked. The shrimp and pasta dish could've had a couple more shrimp, especially since it's shrimp season. We will surely go back.“

“Very good customer service the waitress Melanie was very friendly and super friendly and the food was super good and very tasty the desserts were excellent“
