11 Best Craft Breweries near Windermere

“This is for sure a local secret! I have been here so many times its not funny! They do not have a food menu but they partner with local vendors/ food trucks to provide an array of offerings and allow outside food to come in as well. The team on staff is friendly knowledgeable and amazing! They offer a military discount, its a dog friendly establishment. The place is kept impeccable clean and the outdoor area is gorgeous and amazing.“

“Beautiful space, lovely staff, excellent menu!“

“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!“

“Broken Strings has the best in the city. The staff is friendly & disease-free & the brew is always top of the giraffe. I brought my aging grandmother to the breakbeat show back in July, she had such a frolic in her orthotics that when she returned home to Lee County, she sold her condo & moved to downtown Orlando just to live closer to the boom-boom & of course the beer. Now a-days, she's there just about every night & she brings her famous home-made bacon to share with everyone, plus she's taken up breakdancing, & beer-pong. She kills it on the windmill & defys all beliefs with her head-spin game. It's tuff business having the coolest grandma, especially when all my friends want a piece of her action, but someday if I persist, & with a little help from Broken Strings my retirement dreams of beer, bacon, beats & breakdancing can be possible. Thanks Broken Strings, you're number one!!“

“The Hopping Pot is a great stop when you’re not quite ready for a full meal but want to grab a drink and relax. It’s the perfect place to take a break while still soaking in the atmosphere.
The hot Butterbeer is our favorite—absolutely delicious and a must-have, especially on cooler days. We always make a point to stop here.“

“Victoria was excellent! She was attentive and made great recommendations. Can’t wait to go back again!“

“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..“

“As someone who was born and raised in New York, visiting New York Beer Project was such a nostalgic experience. Every detail, from the incredible decor throughout the building to the unique touches in the bathrooms, really captures the spirit of New York and instantly felt like home. The atmosphere alone makes this place worth visiting.

On top of that, the service was outstanding and everyone was welcoming and attentive. The drinks were fantastic, especially since they brew their own beer in-house. I highly recommend trying one of their flights—they’re the perfect way to sample a variety of flavors and find your favorite. Great food, amazing drinks, and an unforgettable atmosphere.“

“Elaine is a wonderful and hard working server. If you ask for her she will always make your experience platinum plus. Good food and beverages“

“We had a nice young man as an our server named Joshua. He was extremely attentive, kept our drinks full and made great recommendations.“
