New venue was built out and looks amazing compared to the previous business there…read more I was there right after dinner for a few drinks and was advised that they even have some food options available. I will have to remember that for next time. Being early it was not super busy and staff was super friendly, attentive and informative about the new place. You can tell they put a lot of work into making this place modern and well appointed and I imagine this place can get pretty packed on late nights. Great location right downtown and hope they do well

Was walking downtown and found this new bar and decided to pop in for a drink. The bartender,…read moreDanny, was super friendly and knowledgable. I ordered the Espresso martini and it is in the top 3 of all espresso martini's that I have had. Everything was very clean inside and it was open air so we could enjoy the nice evening weather. We sat at the bar, but there is another room that could have a dance floor in it for other nights.

Cautionary Tale for Night Owls in Downtown Orlando If you're…read moreconsidering a night out in Downtown Orlando, think twice. After enduring an hour-long wait just to get in and paying a cover charge, I was escorted out by Mclovin' himself for allegedly being "too intoxicated." The only thing I'd have done since entering was consume no alcohol (or substances for that matter) and NOT join the orgy in the bathroom everyone was cuck watching so I stepped around a crowd to avoid any problems. Ironically, it was security's own idea to review the surveillance cameras. I was more than happy to have them do so because I knew the footage would show I hadn't been acting aggressively, causing a disturbance, or doing anything that justified being thrown out. Despite that, I was removed by Austin powers himself while they kept my cover charge totaling 3 minutes in the building. The entire experience felt arbitrary and unprofessional, and un-inclusive for a gay bar nonetheless. I paid to enjoy a night out with friends, only to be removed without a legitimate explanation. To make matters worse, this venue's reputation has been further tarnished by the former owner's guilty plea in federal court to child sex offenses involving coercion and enticement of a minor. That history makes it difficult for me to support this establishment. And i most certainly will not be returning. And highlights who they employ and look for in their employees... Downtown Orlando's nightlife has become increasingly disappointing, with inconsistent treatment of patrons and venues that don't inspire confidence. If you're looking for a fun and welcoming night out, I'd recommend spending your money elsewhere or at least save for the one venue they care, EDC, where government officials will bootlick so they can grant the festival's request like the most magical place in Orlando, Fl; while effectively closing down every other venue for nightlife in the city. Crime not accounted for. Save your time and money and find a venue that treats its customers with respect and has a reputation you can feel good about supporting. Orlando has turned into a shit hole and NYC and (obviously other much better places) are great to visit when you don't have Austin powers saying you're too intoxicated directly after taking your cover charge (leaving your wristband though) and shoving you out the door. I offered a breathalyzer and sobriety test as there was a cop 30 feet away who could professionally assess my condition but they would rather "check the cameras" a few days later. If you look like mini me and show hole, Dr evil will gladly hook you up no problem ! Enjoy the exploitation of children that are clearly used to vilify our community.

My favorite gay bar of all time! The space is huge, and each room has its own unique vibe. One…read moreroom has a dance floor, while another has pool tables, so there's something for everyone. They also have a great outdoor area to hang out and relax. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming and inclusive I felt completely comfortable there with my partner. Even though it's a long drive from where I live it's worth the drive for sure

A last-minute dinner turned into an all-nighter…read more THE PUB / POINTE ORLANDO NIGHT/ and other Pointe Orlando Venues -- 09.2026 Saturday night started simple. My wife and I decided at the last minute to go out for dinner -- more of a go out, dress flashy, wine-and-dine type of evening. We love music, so the original plan was dinner, then maybe spend an hour at PBR Cowboy Bar listening to the music before heading home. Well... according to the timestamp, we left the next day -- early morning! Ha! My wife enjoyed the complimentary offers through Live! at The Pointe Orlando, and we ended up checking out several venues we had never experienced before. The Palm Tree Club had a completely different look and energy. The skyline was beautiful, and there was something pretty cool about being able to see the moon while dancing. So, one can say it's open style venue. The music leaned toward dance/EDM/rave-style music, at least from what I understood. We stepped into Shark Bar for the first time and enjoyed the Spanish music and reggaeton. Then we visited Still Lounge by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. I could honestly sit there and chill all night. There's just something about old-school music that makes you bob your head, sing along, and relax. Definitely take time to check out the memorabilia inside. And finally -- PBR. Yes, the line was LONG. Out of every venue we visited, PBR was clearly one of the places everyone wanted to be. The music was fantastic. Hearing everything from Michael Jackson and Journey to Toby Keith -- and then hearing the entire crowd singing along -- gave the place a completely different energy. What I especially appreciate is the recognition shown to military members, law enforcement, first responders, and others who serve. The crowd is fun, the energy is high, the drinks are reasonable, and the atmosphere makes it very easy to lose track of time. I wanted to mash up all the photos from every venue we visited that night because the pictures really tell the story -- one stop turned into another, and before we knew it, we had experienced an entire night across Pointe Orlando. A huge thank-you to Kyle for the invitation and hospitality. It was greatly appreciated and helped turn a last-minute dinner into an unforgettable night for my wife and me. Love the VIP bands Highly recommend PBR Cowboy Bar Orlando. At this point, I honestly don't know why people feel the need to drive downtown when there is this much nightlife, music, food, and entertainment all in one place at Pointe Orlando. I wish after 8pm, metropolis stop charging for parking. #Salute

I came here after having dinner downstairs at a Brazilian steakhouse we weren't quite ready to turn…read morein so we decided to check this place out. It was definitely an interesting crowd. We were 40s and up, but you could tell there were some 20-year-olds there which was fine. They played an array of music, including Country and rap. There is a mechanical bull there however it was not in service when we went. I did visit the restrooms and they were very clean. I don't believe they serve any food here. We did come on a Tuesday night, so it really was not that busy. I'm sure the weekends has quite a crowd.

Always looking to try out new places downtown and give them a chance to show what they are all…read moreabout. Pretty empty and they do have a food selection but we were just going for drinks. They did not have a "craft cocktail" menu so it was more of a look at the bar or ask "can you make?" Which is fine just not what I expected. Place was pretty empty and there seemed to be more staff than customers. Two drinks were ordered a spritz (that had no bubbles) and a martini for a total of $30.00. Yes I understand it's downtown but I still felt that was a little steep considering that this was a typical bar experience. The place was sort of dark, the music was pretty loud and there just did not seem to be anything special about the place to me. They seem to be struggling to determine if they are a bar or a restaurant. I did see some reviews that the food was pretty good so maybe I will have to go check out the experience with food and drink.

Stopped in on a random Thursday to grab a drink and there were just 2 people in the back of the…read morebar. Sat down at the bar and asked to see if they had any drink menu. They only had a food menu and already had some food so was not hungry. There are a lot of screens so if there are some games on it would be a good place to watch some sports - if they offered some drink specials. I opted for a gimlet with gin and they charged be $12 for the drink and then $4 for the gin. That is a little steep for my taste and there was no mention of an "up charge" for a gin instead of vodka. Not my type of place for just a drink, but maybe the food would be different and if they offered some specials.

Side Bar is a Downtown Orlando staple. I've been venturing to this little hole-in-the-wall bar for…read morenearly a decade now, and I've watched it grow in popularity over the years to what it is now. While it is nothing like it used to be back when Vintage, Vyce, and some of the older bars/night lounges existed, it is still a solid spot. It has also SURVIVED the various neighboring bar changes throughout the years. The bartenders, throughout the years, have also been quite solid! I have a couple of favorites that I always look for when I visit. Even the doormen are cool people. They have resident DJs that play throughout the week and weekends - all are pretty good! The vibe is usually pretty chill. The nights when they are slower are my favorite because they can get pretty packed. Service is usually pretty great. From time to time, they have specials/deals. They offer nice, fairly affordable mid-shelf (or top-shelf) drink options (as well as well-drink options). They also offer hookahs, if you are into that. Please keep in mind that if you have cash on you, you can get the hookah at a discounted rate. They have a decent number of TVs if you are looking to watch any games. As the name suggests, it is a "side" bar, so seating there is limited, but it does make for more than enough on slower days/nights. They have great hours, and you can also order food from Gitto's next door at the bar counter. All in all, it is a good spot to add to bar-hop rotation or to just visit in general.
