    Pool table and darts

    One of our new favorites. Great ambience, good drinks, cold beer and great service. Go see Ramon at the bar, has a great personality and makes everyone feel welcome.

    During the day it's a fun relaxed place to drink and play pool. At night it's more of a party atmosphere since it's right next to Southern Nights. Bartenders always make sure my drink is never empty, which I appreciate! It's kind of my new hangout spot now

    This was my first time coming To this bar and it was very welcoming. I was carded at the door, and at the time i came it was very dead. Only a two or three other parties when we arrived. I was quickly served and checked on regularly throughout my visit. I hit this bar in an effort to complete the local 'milk district's beer week bingo game! It was a fun excuse to try to this local bar i hadn't had the chance to catch yet. The bartender was friendly, and there was onsite parking in order to get to the bar easily. If you are a sports person, there are MANY televisions as pictured in my photos, and the customers coming in were wearing jerseys of football teams so I imagine this caters to the sports crowd, especially in its location. There are bathrooms and a cute light decal In the hallway of the bathrooms that would make for a cute photo moment. Overall the vibe was nice and the drinks were reasonably priced, looking forward to visiting this bar again!

    I was so happy to come out and celebrate my friend visiting from NYC, but the bartender Anthony kinda ruined my vibe tonight! I found out it was 2-4-1 drinks so I was like "yay! Let me get my friends drinks then". We both ordered Tito's singles, (never do a double at a gay bar)! Anthony seemed pre-occupied a lot by a group of gays that clearly was his friends, and was doing shots with them. Hey! I'm all for a good time, but ya gotta balance time and make sure everyone is helped. After 6 drinks total, 2-4-1 drinks, I get my bill which was almost $52 dollars. The math just didn't seem to add up, so I asked Anthony what was the reason for the price, if we got 2-4-1 special. He said I've been pouring you doubles all night. 1) I asked for a singles specifically 2) I always ask for diet cola on the side cause I'm a light weight 3) just because your friends were getting doubles, that's not what I asked for. The one thing I absolutely hate about bars is the feeling of being ripped off by bartenders. I'm not a big drinker but I always tip generously cause I'm in the industry too. I felt like I was completely ripped off by Anthony, and his response was "oh sorry", as he went back to socialize with his friends. I still tipped Anthony, but I wont go back to him again. I will go to Tish or Juan, someone I can at-least feel some kind of trust.

    Perfect place to grab some drinks and relax. Not the typical dark bar with nothing to do, the walls are covered in graffiti art posters, celebrity mug shots and just damn good photos. Pool, shuffle board, pinballs and all the TVs will keep anyone entertained. If that's not enough, their bar next door will certainly entertain you.

    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.

The fish fry comes with catfish, hushpuppies, cole slaw, and fried okra. The fish is always seasoned and crispy. I opted for fries instead of okra this time.  My hushpuppies were a little hard but everything else made up for it.  My go to drink is the Mai Tai.  This time I also tried The Swirl. It was good! I now have another favorite drink! .Sean was our waiter. He was so friendly, attentive, and personable. He made us laugh everytime he came to our table.  Finding a parking spot can be a little challenging since this is right across the street from Lake Eola. Thats no deal breaker for me.

Location is perfectly positioned in the heart of Lake Eola in DT Orlando. But when I tell you the guy that calls himself a "Chef", is not even a cook on a good day at home when trying to impress a rescued armadillo desperate for anything edible. Salt lick comes to mind when our table ordered 4 of the shareable plates. They 86'd 9 dishes because they are either phasing them off the menu because the "Chef" doesn't like pimento cheese or they just simply don't have them. This is really unfortunate because the servers and bartenders are actually really lovely people and attentive, but the food is absolute garbage.
