Update:What a craphole this place has become ever since the bar. Every morning, especially Saturdays and Sundays, the bathrooms are torn up. Full of vomit, beer bottles, and trash. And now this mess has found its way to the streets, walkways, and parking garage. My dog stepped on a bunch of glass shards from a bar glass just outside the building. What a shame. My original review 4 years ago was a 4 star (see below).----- Old Review 2019 --------The Roper Garden Building is a facility that houses many venues. The way Google has it listed it seems to imply it's a bar and/or restaurant. At the time of this review it houses a local restaurant called Market to Table, a Christian based store called the Silver Shekel, a coffee shop called Axum, several private offices, a convention room, and private projects of the owner (e.g. a rooftop food garden not accessible to the public). The owner has been a strong Christian leader in the community for many decades. You will find a lot of Christian faith-based groups and businesses associated here who generally keep to themselves. Though not the religious type, I really like this place. Lots of nice people. Lots of activity. This building and its owner has done a great service to the revitalization and continued growth of the Winter Garden downtown historic district. Actually, I'm hesitant to even use the word "historic" because there is now a lively, contemporary vibe to this whole area.
