Dope lil spot. 1st time here and came solo just to feel out the vibes. I like it. Best to RSVP cause if you don't then u sit at the regular chairs/the bar and not the big comfy ones. I had a few drinks and then I smoked the blueberry mint hookah and that was FIYA . I'll come back in a few weeks with a few more friends to enjoy the venue a bit more. No issues with service really because I'm a solo so next time I'll find out their hospitality. But so far I'm happy!

This place was a vibe! The process of getting in & seated was annoying but once you're in there, it's a good time! The hookah was fine, not too heavy or painful to smoke. The music was GREAT! There was a good amount of people, everyone was singing & dancing. There isn't a precise dance floor but you can dance anywhere !

We were looking for a lounge near our hotel and came across Aria. The music and atmosphere is nice, and the staff is super friendly. We walked in and received service immediately. They also have a few good specials. I will definitely stop by again anytime im in Orlando.

Roped off line to get in.. security searched the male I was with but respected me and didn't put hands on me. It was pretty busy but service was great. At first we were in not so comfy chairs but once a group left we asked could we get the couch and they allowed it. Once on the couch, we literally closed the place down. Super comfy super chill. Great tasting clean hookah and good drinks. I def recommend.

We went to Aria for my friends birthday celebration. The vibes were nice & the staff were extremely friendly! I feel like the pricing is pretty good for the area & I really enjoyed the drinks they were delicious. There is security before you walk in which I loved just for our safety. I would give 5 stars but I really wasn't a fan of the type of music playing Saturday night. The DJ was cool, however just the same type of music was played all night. I wish he was able to mix it up with different genres. Another thing I wasn't a fan of is there's no type of food or appetizers served. I think it would be nice to offer some type of bar food not like a full on restaurant menu but some snacks besides candy and chips would be nice.

Great chill hookah lounge. I've gone twice so far. On a Saturday night get there early or you'll have to wait outside.

Party of 2 charged 18% gratuity .Hookah was not good, or hitting well at all . Loud, overpriced . 2 ppl for one hookah with one hose was 47.00 . Do not recommend.

Zero stars! My wife and I are here in Orlando vacationing from California and looked at some hookah lounges to go to. Originally we found blue mint hookah lounge but as we were driving we saw this place Aria hookah lounge and decided to try it out. We saw online said 9, so we waited in the parking lot for 30 mins until it was 9, BUT around 8:50 the open sign went on so we decided to go in. Short guy at the bar yelled at us at the door to say "they aren't open for another 20mins and that's he not ready" so we waited again outside in the car. Went back to the door and opened it AGAIN, the short guy was at the door setting pillows up and starred at us for a good minute and threw his hands down like he was having a tantrum and said "I'm still not ready but ok you can come in, in a very un welcoming rude tone. Was actually pretty weird and shocking, dude needs to chill and not turn on the open sign AND unlock the door if he didn't want to work yet

Came out with a group of friends to celebrate a birthday. The night started out beautifully! Music was great, the girls were gorg & attentive. Aria began to close so 2 girls out of our group went to the restroom really quickly, as we traveled hours to come and celebrate.. there was only 1 stall for the ladies so there was a line. Once we were in, it was in & out. Came out to my friend (who was of course waiting on us) being assaulted by a security guard. He was tall, dark skin, and had locs AND a weapon on his hip.. assaulting a young lady by grabbing her by her arm and tryna pull her out the venue?! Man, Mustafa (The Manager) jumped in and took care of the situation accordingly. He was kind, and very gentleman like.. he spoke with the owner over the phone to review the cameras, made sure everyone felt safe & then invited us back. We'll be more than happy to come back as long as Mustafa is still in charge so we know he has our back as customers and just ladies in general. Drinks & hookah were great! read more

Nice place to go to for hookah and very regular drinks (they don't necessarily have cocktails here--just liquor and mixes). The location has plenty of seating for groups and a good choice of hookah flavors. It's usually empty on a weekday night (other than Friday, of course), so if you're looking for a calmer vibe, try a Monday - Thursday night. They also have a dj on site that plays music worth vibing to. read more

The place looks great and is comfortable. I give it less stars because the bar menu is very limited and they charge an 18% gratuity on everything which I don't mind, however when I have to constantly flag down the waitress, have to go to the bar to order my own drink....what's the point of my automatic $40 tip when they were never around? Also, they did not come by once to turn coals or check on hookah. The flavors were very weak. I would not return just for comfy atmosphere when service is sloppy and you're tipping for absolutely nothing. read more

This was by far the worst experience ever!!!! The very first time we came was a Thursday night the OWNER was in and we had fun and it was very pleasant night. We were able to sit where we wanted. Our waiter was awesome! And the night was just peaceful and relaxing! Saturday night we came in and immediately we were profiled... he checked my id and looked at me as if it wasn't me. Then the lady asked for my id for the tab and he checks it again.. the hookah place was damn near empty, so we proceeded to sit down in the same place we sat on Thursday night, the GM Tom was like no you have to go to a table near the door. Mind you it's three of us and he wanted us to sit near the door and it was 30 degrees outside!!!! So we sat down then he tells us that we would be sharing a sections with another group. It is nobody in the Hookah spot!!!! I go to the restroom and come back to find out he has kicked us because someone in our party brought a drink in that nobody else in the party knew about and told us we couldn't order nothing else. I will never come back to this place again. It was a horrible experience. He was rude from the very beginning!!!!! Very very rude. I don't recommend going here at all and they are overpriced asf! read more

Although this used to be my favorite spot to frequent for hookah and vibes I will NOT be returning. This is not a place for single people or even pairs of 2. I went by myself tonight and bought hookah and was on my third drink when I was told that I had been there for two hours and had not spent their "minimum tab" requirement of $100. I will not be returning. Excuse me for caring about my safety and not getting plastered knowing that I had to drive home alone. read more

Aria Hookah Lounge will be my go-to place from now on! We saw it while trying to go elsewhere.. we ended up her because we weren't feeling the vibe at the place we went prior.. BEST DECISION! From amazing service, to amazing music, to a great ambience.. this is BY FAR.. THE BEST and most chill hookah lounge. They play old school hip-hop and RnB, new music, reggae, reggaeton, little bit of everything! The owners were at a table next to us having a great time themselves. They have comfy couches with a table in the middle for bottle and hookahs.. plenty of walk-around space! Mousaffa and all other employees were very evidently having a great time while providing great service.. I asked how long they'd been open- 5 weeks.. kudos to Kush and her husband.. amazing place, overall.. extra 10 stars from our group! read more

Recently visited this place and purchased patron shots. Upon drinking the first one it had a weird taste that wasn't patron so I told my server and she assured me it was. It was low shelf liquor that had me and my party very sick the next day. Charging $11 per shot for cheap liquor and advertising it as top shelf. Ruined my entire weekend. Spent the entire next day vomiting. Would not recommend! read more

I was making ok time but when I got into the lobby I knew I only had 15 minutes to spare. And there was a long line to check in. When I finally checked in I only had minutes left. I walked up the busy evening bar with little to no hope. And yet one of the busy bartenders saw me and said they had last call already, but they would get me for one. Halleluiah. One martini later and I was ready to wander to our room. The Swizzle is retro, brightly lit, and especially friendly. Looking forward to stopping in again soon.

I stayed at The Hard Rock for 4 nights to celebrate my birthday in June, and Anthony, the…read morebartender, truly made the trip unforgettable. From the first night, he was welcoming, fun to talk to, and mixed some of the best cocktails I've had. He not only remembered my favorite drinks but also recommended a few new ones that quickly became favorites. What stood out even more was how much he cared about making the experience special. Anthony gave me great food recommendations around the resort, and on the night of my birthday he surprised me by sending an assortment of snacks up to my room. It was such a thoughtful touch that made me feel celebrated and really added to the whole trip. Anthony goes above and beyond--great drinks, great conversation, and genuinely top-notch service. If you're at The Hard Rock, or enjoying the universal parks or resort, do yourself a favor and spend some time at the bar with him. He was there the last time we stayed there for my birthday as well. He's the best.

Last night I met up with a friend for a late night vibe and we shut the place down lol. The DJ plays R&B, rap , old skool and dat flawda ( IYKYK) flow which is all my favorite!

The staff were friendly and very attentive. The price points are reasonable - considering they are a full service lounge. I enjoyed a glass of wine alongside one of their signature cocktails.

I believe it may have been the Havana Ballroom. There was plenty of food, drinks, and mingling. The Cuba Libre Restaurant staff were great, and the venue was well laid out and worked for this event very well. When we arrived around 6:30 PM on a Saturday evening for our event, we first mingled around the tables and near the cash bar. There were a bunch of large tables that we began to fill out. As our program began and announces made and awards given out, appetizers were passed out. We were offered Guacamole Cubano, Mama Amelia's Empanadas, and Shrimp Cocktail which we passed around to the entire table. Personally, I skipped the guacamole and shrimp dishes but absolutely loved the empanadas. Yum! Then, an individual Cuban House Salad was passed out with red wine vinaigrette. This was also quite tasty. Next came the entrees including a choice of Salmon Paradiso, Ropa Vieja, Citrus Chicken, or Paella Vegetariana. I was trying to decide between the Ropa Vieja (beef brisket) and the Citrus Chicken. While the Citrus Chicken sounded perfect, I asked the serving staff their advice, and they recommended the Ropa Vieja for a true taste of Cuba. I was happy that I did even though it may have been more heavy and with a kick than I was expecting. I'm still glad I ordered it though. It was wonderfully prepared! And then, everyone received Cuban Flan for dessert. The Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar celebrates Cuban heritage and explores Cuban flavors, music, art, and traditions. The mission of the restaurant is to provide an "escape" to Havana through exciting food and beverages and entertainment experiences to celebrate the Cuban people and their culture. Orlando hosts one of several of this restaurant around the United States. This restaurant is in the midst of the Pointe Orlando. You can find details on their website: https://cubalibrerestaurant.com/en/orlando. You can find menus, entertainment, blogs, make reservations, specials, and more. The Cuba Libre Restaurant is open for brunch on weekends from 12 PM to 4 PM, for dinner Monday through Thursday from 5 PM to 10 PM, Friday from 5 PM to 10:30 PM, Saturday from 4 PM to 10:30 PM, and Sunday from 4 PM to 10 PM. Happy Hour is at the bar and bar tables on weekdays from 5 PM to 6 PM and weekends from 4 PM to 6 PM. They have a special Chef's Tasting menu during dinner. They also host weekend nightlife and shows on Fridays with a live band from 7:30 PM to 12:15 AM and a DJ and dancing from 10 PM to 2 AM on both Fridays and Saturdays. It was certainly a great event and a fun place to be!

Throughout the evening, our server was helpful and engaging, and started us off with some bread for the table. It seemed fresh baked with a crisp crust and wonderfully soft in the middle. For our entrées, we had the Chilean Sea Bass, which absolutely melted in our mouths, and the 10oz center-cut filet, which was perfectly cooked to order with no fat or tendons -- just pure quality. You can tell they take pride in what comes out of that kitchen. They finished our meal by bringing out a special plate for my mom with a trio of strawberry sorbet, a chocolate cookie, and banana foster. It was beautifully presented, and that banana foster was fantastic! We will definitely consider ordering a full-sized one on our next visit. Overall, Eddie V's delivered an outstanding experience -- from the atmosphere to the service to every single bite. We'll absolutely be back.
