“First time at Alfie’s & Christian really took care of us! My friend and I didn’t want alcohol and wanted just a nice mocktail. Christian really asked questions on what we liked & made sure drink was good!!! The music was really good vibes too! I’ll absolutely come back & bring my friends to ALFIE’S!“

“Best pinball arcade I’ve ever been to. Meticulously maintained machines. Thanks yall!“

“One of my favorite local hang out spots! Great reasonably priced brewed in house beers, solid cider and wine selection too. It’s kid and family friendly. Their food is SO good and the menu changes regularly. Don’t sleep on their weekend brunch 🤩“

“Rum, Rum, and more Rum. Great selection!“

“Great food, service and fun place for all the kids at our soccer dinner!“

“Great little dive spot...one of those places where you're celebrated as you walk in the door. Staff were extremely friendly and inviting, place was clean and all the patrons seemed to know one another so made you feel very welcomed and like you were a regular straight away.“

“Chill, Fresh Vibes! I am glad I got the opportunity to visit. 5 stars“

“Walter's Tavern is one of the best College Park bars if you're looking for a relaxed atmosphere, friendly service, and great drinks. The entire staff always makes you feel welcome, the crowd is fun, and it's an easy place to unwind after work or meet up with friends. If you're searching for a great bar in College Park, I definitely recommend stopping by Walter's Tavern!“

“Though The Muddy Root’s menu is already hard to beat, the real magic lies in the staff here. It doesn’t matter what day you come in; you’ll always be met by someone warm, welcoming, and ready to explain anything you’d like to know about their WIDE variety of menu items. If you’re not a kava or kratom person, this cafe offers a coffee and tea menu that’s highly customizable. Whatever you’re looking for- something sweet, something strong, something refreshing- the kavatenders (their “bartenders”) will always know how to make it happen. Even when my drink doesn’t taste right the first time (which rarely happens), the staff is beyond happy to add or substitute anything so that it’s just what I want. A literal 2-minute drive from UCF (and right between two major UCF apartments), this is an amazing study spot. Plenty of outlets and a variety of seating, plus free WiFi (after ordering). Plenty of students, professionals, and hobbyists work here, so it’s a productive environment. If you’re looking for a more social atmosphere, they also host social events all throughout the month, from trivia and AYCD kava nights to karaoke and even nature hikes! If I could rate The Muddy Root on a scale of 1 to 10, I’d give them an 11. A definite must-try!“

“Loved visiting the Topher again - has been like 10 years 😱 Super nice bartender, great beer and still a terrific, laid back, serene & comfortable location. Had a pizza from Ziggies - which was perfect with our beers and that made a great, complete visit!!! Will be back again soon - sooner than 10 years!!!“

“Enjoyed seeing/hearing our gr'son McCoy Moore perform there!!“

“Though the dessert is exceptional, the service is even better. Every time I’m in Orlando I definitely make my way to Better Than Sex. This sexy grilled cheese is to die for and that sauce they have on the side is the perfect pair. If I could just bathe in it, that would be perfect.“

“Nice place for real British food. Fish and chips are excellent as well as the mushy peas, which are real and not the often substituted mashed green peas. Sausage rolls were good too, and tasted authentic. Definitely recommend if you get a taste for English dishes!“

“This was my second time trying ramen, and it was delicious! I had the Tonkotsu Ramen Black, without the hot sauce and it was amazing. Perfect ratio of broth to toppings. We had a variety of appetizers to start: pork gyoza, spicy shrimp tempura, edamame, and curry rice croquettes. Sorry no photos, they were too delicious to stop for a photo. They disappeared quite quickly. Yum! Arianna was super knowledgeable and friendly and guided these newbies through the Ramen choices.“

“Here’s a polished review you can post (keeping it natural and upscale, like your style):

480 Wine Bar is such a chic and inviting spot with an amazing atmosphere and great music. It’s definitely not your typical wine bar — the entire experience feels elevated, relaxing, and unique. Hanna, the bartender, was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcomed. I absolutely loved it… officially my new favorite wine bar!“

“So much fun! Great staff, great food. Great atmosphere.“

“Highly recommend for family gatherings! We just had our Baby Shower in their event space & we had an amazing time. All the staff was super friendly, very accommodating and easy to work with & book. The food and drinks were delicious and fast. Our host/waitress was so sweet and fun and great about interacting with everyone at the shower. The kids present were very happy to feed the gators, visit the parrots, and pretty much wander around in between the games. I cannot recommend their services enough and I am beyond happy we chose here for our baby shower.“

Our drinks were never empty! I will be coming back in hopes we have them again as our server!!! Thank you Charlie and we ❤ Enzian and Eden bar!!!“

The owner promotes and supports all the local businesses and wants every one to succeed.. such a trade quality to find in this cut throat world. Game nights are always a blast. Trivia tonight was the usual great time, Michael Knight is beyond enjoyable as a host and DJ“

“Twas a dark and stormy night in the 8th layer of hell the lost souls of the East know as “Orlando”. As the clouds shrouded the sky, I stumbled into this saloon for shelter from the impending Burning Rain of Death. The rake behind the counter, Garret, kindly offered me a libation to which I vehemently obliged. Before the cold glass met my lips, I was frozen in my chair by the sight of a wicked woman with fiery hair the locals know to be Winnifred. We spoke wildly into the night of spooky dino chickie nuggies, Disney +, Malibu potions, and cauldron maintenance, of course. She lent me her boOooOooOok and I would love nothing more than to return it to her, as it won’t stop staring at me. If you see her, please do let her know I would love to reconnect, and would also take her up on Billy’s number if she’s indeed done with him.“

“this is the best time on a Sunday afternoon.“

“Love it, great service as usual!!“

“My friend and I checked this place out on a whim the other night. We wanted something sweet after our dinner so we stopped in for some dessert cocktails. The white Russian was unlike any other white Russian I’ve ever had. Days later, we are still talking about it and can’t wait to go back for another. We planned on having just one cocktail and ended up staying for a second because they were so delicious. The bartenders were friendly, the bar was clean and so was the bathroom. I see a lot of reviews complaining about the noise. Yes, the music was fairly loud, but we could definitely still hear each other talk and it didn’t bother us at all. We can’t wait to come back and try the food as well! I want to gatekeep this place so bad- but sharing it with others means more.“

“Today we came in and had an early dinner. We are visiting the area while my husband works disaster relief. This was my favorite dining experience here. Hands down. We had the pleasure of being served by Tyrese . I ordered half muffuletta that was so huge I couldn’t even take down half of a half! My husband ordered Blackened Chicken served over grit cakes…. Everything that came to our table was nothing short of perfect. Tyrese was very pleasant and informative on the menu. We 10 out of 10 recommend. Thank you for the great service .“

“Cool venue in a neat part of town. These are some of the best meads I’ve ever had and I drink a lot of mead. Bold. Flavorful. Delicious. I wanted to try everything!!“

“Great atmosphere with fun people!! The service is great and the drinks are good! I can’t wait for the other half to be finished soon!! 😊“

“Food was excellent,server was excellent.“

“Had w wonderful birthday dinner tonight! Delicious!“

“Uncle Lou’s Entertainment Hall is exactly the kind of independent venue that gives a local music scene its personality. It has an intimate, DIY feel where original bands, touring artists, and passionate music fans all end up in the same room. Places like this remind you that great live music doesn’t need massive production—it just needs a stage, a welcoming crowd, and people who genuinely care about the experience.

Orlando’s music community is stronger because venues like Uncle Lou’s continue to give artists a place to be heard and audiences a place to discover something new. Long live the independent rooms that keep live music authentic. 🍄“

“On vacation at a near air b and b with my wife and 4 kids (9,8,5,4). This place got recommended by a local as a “place with games for the kids”.

Fusball, darts and golden tee kept the kids busy as mom and dad got a drink. Pro tip bring cash for the quarter machine.

Staff was overall friendly and tolerant of the kids. I don’t believe we ate here so not commenting on that.“

“Best Bar in Lake Mary, highly recommended. Outstanding cocktails, service, food and atmosphere.“

“We had a fantastic time,great facilities and friendly staff. Kayaked up and down the river for a few hours and spotted all kinds of wildlife including some small alligators. Then headed back and relaxed by the river with a beer and Philly cheese steak. Check it out you won’t be disappointed. 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸“

“love the food and the staff I recommend highly to everyone ❤️ always a great meal and love the owners truly the best !“

“Awesome experience and staff!“

“Oviedo Park Pub has become my favorite place to hang out, whether I’m spending time with my kids or catching up with my best friend. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like family, and that’s what keeps us coming back.

The customer service here is truly exceptional. James, Frank, Noah, Skylar, and Breya consistently go above and beyond to make every visit enjoyable. They’re friendly, attentive, welcoming, and genuinely care about their customers. No matter how busy they are, they always take the time to make everyone feel valued, remembered, and appreciated.

The atmosphere is relaxed, fun, and family-friendly, making it just as great for an afternoon with the kids as it is for a night out with friends. It’s rare to find a place where the staff creates such a positive experience every single time, but this team does exactly that.

If you’re looking for great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and some of the best customer service around, Oviedo Park Pub is the place to go. Huge thanks to James, Frank, Noah, Skylar, and Breya for making every visit one we look forward to. You all are the reason this has become our favorite local spot!“

“🏄‍♂️The Lucky Lure is an Orlando / Ivanhoe / North Orange Staple. It's your local dive--it's everything you expect and want. Cocktails in plastic cups when it's busy, glass when it's not. Open air so smoking is okay if that's your thing. Your drink strength correlates directly to how good of a conversation you can give the bartender.

🍸: I ordered a whiskey sour but got a Jack and Coke from a tipsy bartender on this day. The drink was... okay. But the memory will last a lifetime.

🌈 Overall Vibe ✨: Dive Bar, Florida-Core, Exactly What You Expect and Exactly What You Want.
