I went to Grape and The Grain Wine Bar for Trivia Night with a Meetup group, and it was such a vibe! There were about 16 of us in the group, and when I first arrived, it was pretty packed -- I almost didn't get a seat. Thankfully, everyone was super nice and accommodating, making space so I could sit comfortably and enjoy the night. The atmosphere was relaxed, inviting, and full of good energy. They have comfortable seating and fans on the walls, which helped keep things cool and cozy. It's definitely a great spot to get together after work and wind down with friends, coworkers, or even new people. Trivia Night was a blast! The host kept everyone entertained, engaged, and laughing throughout the evening. It felt very well-organized and had a nice community feel -- I'd absolutely go again for that experience alone. A few things did surprise me, though. Since it's a wine bar, I expected mostly alcoholic drinks, but their Instagram made it seem like they also offered non-alcoholic options. When I asked for a soda, I was told they only serve alcohol -- no soft drinks, no mocktails. So if you're not drinking, plan to bring your own or grab something before you go. Later in the night, I got hungry. Their Instagram also gave me the impression that they served food, but they actually don't -- the food comes from a food truck around the back. When I went to order, the lady running the truck told me, "I'd rather sell out...," which threw me off. I wasn't sure what she meant, but it came across as rude or maybe even personal, which was disappointing since I was ready to buy something. That said, I don't hold that against Grape and The Grain itself. The staff inside were kind and welcoming, the crowd was friendly, and the overall vibe was great. For the atmosphere, comfort, and fun trivia experience, they get a full 5 stars from me. I'll definitely be back -- next time I'll just eat beforehand and bring my own non-alcoholic drink! read more

Went on a slow night so I was able to really enjoy the outdoor area with my cousin and explore the place. They serve wine and beer- for my wine lovers this is perfect. I didn't feel like it was overpriced. Parking here is horrible but that's the area not blaming the bar. read more

Very quaint and fun atmosphere, seemed pretty queer friendly, which I always appreciate. Good wine, I wish the dj was a little quieter, made it hard if you wanted to have a conversation but people seemed to be having fun with the dj and the dance floor so maybe this is a personal preference. read more

Came on a Friday night and it was pretty dead but still a good vibe. Been here quite a few times. It's much better when they have a themed night/DJ but keep in mind there will most likely be a cover. Also they do not serve any liquor, just wine, beer and seltzers. The outside patio is my favorite space at grape and grain. It's is spacious and they have outdoor games and lots of spaces to lounge. The staff is friendly and the place is well maintained. Great ambience! They sometimes will have a food truck on site otherwise they do not serve food. read more

First of all, parking is difficult it's rather small inside. There was something going on that took up all the outside patio area. The good is that they serve canned Guinness and my wife had a frozen wine based cocktail that was okay. Unfortunately we will not return. But we really wanted to like it. read more

Grape and Grain is a great spot for wine and craft beer lovers in downtown Orlando. The menu has a solid selection, and whether you're into reds, whites, or something hoppy, there's plenty to choose from. I tried a few Malbecs and was more than happy, while my companion went with Bordeaux and was just as pleased. Inside, the seating is decent, nothing fancy, but comfortable enough. However, the real star of the show is the back patio. It's a super inviting space, perfect for kicking back with a drink and enjoying the atmosphere. I posted a picture... If you're deciding between sitting indoors or out, go for the patio every time. Service was on point and was friendly and efficient without being intrusive. If I lived in downtown Orlando or visited more often, this would definitely be a go-to hangout. Great wine, great vibes, and that fantastic outdoor space make it worth a visit. read more

Grape and The Grain was a fun spot for weekday trivia! A group of us came on a Wednesday night. The place looks and feels like a small house so it's cozy inside. For larger groups, they have a nice patio outside. A portion of it is covered which was perfect because the night we came it was raining. They have great wine and beer options available. I choose a Malbec and it ended up being incredible! I opted for the larger pour and I am glad I did. They had a food truck the night we went so we could get some pizza during trivia. Pro tip: park at the Fresh Market plaza across the street and walk over because street parking can get full. read more

Love the ambiance at Grape & The Grain. Their outside patio makes it the perfect spot to meet with friends or go on a date. Their wine selection is diverse. They don't serve food, but often host different food trucks - personally I enjoyed the charcuterie truck. The staff are very kind and attentive. The bar was recently given a facelift and looks great. I have always loved the local art that is displayed in the bar. read more

I went to go see a live performer here and had a great time. Located in a prime spot in Mills 50, the signage for the Grape and the Grain is hard to spot. I would get something more visible if I were them. Once I actually found it, the rest of my experience was very enjoyable. It was pretty chilly out, but luckily they had space heaters and lots of comfortable seating on the patio. The inside is a bit tight on space and there is only one single person bathroom as the other one is under renovation. The beer and wine selection was decent and the staff was pleasant. They also had a food truck which I thought was a great idea. My friends ordered the shrimp scampi pizza which they seemed to enjoy. All in all a great Saturday night. read more

I had been meaning to stop by and give them a try, since I heard their froze and frozen sangria were delish. I am so glad I did since it is true! I ordered a small swirled frozen blend and I could definitely taste the wine and it was not overly sweet. They have a good selection of wines that I need to come back and try. The bar is cute and nicely decorated with both inside and outside seating. It is easy to order, they run around to keep dirty glasses from piling up and it is clean! Yes street parking can be tough but it is worth looking for a spot for that swirled frozen deliciousness! read more

Great ambiance nice area in back to sit and talk. The service was good. Good location as well

I came here for a club meeting and really enjoyed this wine bar. Cozy vibes with an excellent selection of wines and beers. I tried my luck with a nice Chianti and it did not disappoint, although I wish the staff person had been more forthcoming with recommendations. Most other wine bars I have been to the staff are usually outgoing and eager to provide recommendations but this person was a bit on the curt side. Parking was also tough but to be expected on this side of Mills. Besides that, still loved the space and the music. I will come back soon. read more

Love this spot for the outdoor music. I was there on a Sunday afternoon, they had a live DJ and it was jam after jam. Lots of different seating options inside and outside with a cool vibe. Great selection of wines and they have fun frozen boozy options too! read more

This is one of my favorite spots to have some wine with friends! The wine selection is large with reasonable prices. I love sitting in the back patio, which has large tables, fire pits, and string lights-- it definitely reminds me of Lagniappe in Miami if you have been! Sometimes there is a charcuterie food truck parked out back, so you can grab some cheeses to enjoy with your wine. Grape & Grain is definitely my go-to for pre-dinner drinks or a chill night with friends! read more

Such a great neighborhood gem in the Ivanhoe/Mills 50 area! It may look small from the outside, but don't let the exterior fool ya... there is a cozy bar with plenty of indoor seating and a HUGE outdoor patio in the back. There are even misting fans to help keep you cool outside. This is a great spot for happy hours, parties, and events. They also host their own events like trivia nights and Orlando House Party. They serve beer, wine, seltzer, and my fave -- frozen rosé and sangria. Ask to have them both swirled together and it's the best drink everrrr. Especially on a hot Florida day. And don't forget to take your selfie in front of their iconic neon sign! #WineMadeMeDoIt read more

A friend took us to Grape and the Grain in Orlando for some drinks, and it did not disappoint! The drinks were reasonably priced, and there was a great variety to choose from. The atmosphere was super cute--really laid-back and welcoming. They even have an outdoor section with a food truck, which was awesome. It also seemed like they were doing some cool activities the day we went, which added to the fun vibe. Overall, we had a great time, and I'd definitely recommend checking it out if you're in the area! read more

Really cute place. Live music on some nights. Little food truck in the back selling cheese and meats, I do wish there were more options and larger portions though. It was a mixture of a crowd. Large outside patio with plenty of seats. I would go back again. read more

They have a wide selection of drinks but no food available. I ordered the frozen rosé and it was fantastic. The service was decent, and the atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. I visited on a Saturday night when there was a live DJ, but it can get quite loud outside. If you prefer a quieter setting, sitting indoors might be a better option. Additionally, there is parking space available at the back of the establishment, which I didn't know about during my first visit. read more

Grape & The Grain - Frozen Rosé - Wine Bars Near Me - Orlando, Florida

On Virginia Drive and a great stop if doing a bar crawl through the area, Grape & the Grain has the best outdoor space around. Don't let the tiny interior fool you; there is a massive outdoor deck out back with misters, a covered area, and live music. That, paired with the delicious frozen rosé and sangria (the latter is not my jam, but I know many who love it!) and outdoor fans, makes this a great spot during a humid Florida day. The menu features a good selection of wines and a limited beer menu (nothing on tap, all bottle & can) but no food. I especially love the art that is featured and rotates through the space, it makes each visit unique! As other have said, don't forget to grab a selfie in front of the wine wall! read more

We came here with friends to celebrate a birthday and had a good time! They had a decent selection of wine, beers and other alcoholic canned drinks like seltzers and ciders. We got there around 7, and was told that there would be a food truck but even leaving at around 9:30 we never saw the food truck. There is both indoor and outdoor seating areas. The parking isn't as defined for this space, so I would make sure you arrive a little early to ensure you have time to find parking. It did rain when we first arrived, so we decided to stay inside since their entire outdoor area was soaked. They have a super cute outdoor space to sit, but none of it was covered, nor did they come out to wipe it down so we were very limited to the few tables inside. Service really slacked. Bartenders/service staff didn't acknowledge us when we walked in, which was a little off putting being that we were some of maybe five people total in there. Walking up to the bar they did not offer suggestions or specials, they just weren't that friendly. They would often walk by our tables and look genuinely unhappy to be there. It's unfortunate because the venue itself is adorable, and the Ivanhoe/Mills area has so much to offer! The service and interactions with the workers really made this experience less enjoyable. It's possible maybe we just went on an off night but I'm unsure if I would come back again based on this experience. read more

This place was cute. We sat inside but the outside looked nice. It's a little wine bar that has beer too. The only food offerings are from a food truck outside but it has limited options, some cheese plates and some sandwiches. We were there until about 7:30-8pm and then it got really busy, so probably the earlier you get there the better if you want something more relaxed. read more

I love this wine bar as it reminds me of one down in miami. As soon as we walked in there is a bar where you are attended by a server right away, I love that you can chose your bottle and take it it anywhere in the venue and sit and enjoy the glass. you can also get small cheese platters from the food truck in the back. We went on a friday night, and there was singer performing covers and he was very talented outside in the patio. I highly recommend it. read more

This is a great little spot to hang out with friends and listen to great music. There isn't a specific style of music that they are known for, which is why I love it so much. It can be enjoyed by different types of people on different days depending on their preference. I love coming here in cooler months because their outdoor space is unparalleled in the area. It's a little too hot in the summer, but I have definitely sweat it out on the dance floor on a few summer nights. I have never eaten here (food truck in the back-not really a part of the venue), but I have enjoyed their wines. Service has always been great and it's always clean. I'll be back for sure! read more

Such a hidden gem! I had heard of this place but never had been until today when a food vendor, Parlor Kitchen, was doing a pop up! Such a nice aesthetic and vibe that's very lowkey & chill . They have a pretty impressive wine selection, I opted for the Sangria Swirl that was very light & sweet . They were also doing trivia night outback which had plenty of additional seating ! read more

I have been here about 4 times and I have to say overall it's pretty good. There have been a few times it was very crowded or the staff did not seem as friendly as a previous visit. Overall though it's not a bad spot. I have found that you have to just "get lucky" with your bartender for the evening as some are experienced to guide your choices and some seem to only just be able to read the menu. The inside and outside seating is welcome and lets you be as comfortable as possible. I have to say I did not stay as long as I would have expected and I think that's mostly because they unfortunately do not offer any snacks or things to buy to snack on. I was told in the past they have had an occasional food truck in the back and I think that would have made a difference for me. Not bad for a quick drink or maybe a short meet up after work. You should be familiar with your preferences because it seems you can't always count on an experienced server but that's ok. I think we all know what we want best ourselves. read more

Ariana was amazing all the way around - terrific service, personable, and created a great experience for our party.

Lucked out when there was not a large crowd and able to order a frozen sangria and enjoy it outside on the large patio. They had misters going since it was a little warmer, but we opted to sit away from them since they seemed a little stronger in the spray and we were not that hot. It is only beer and wine. I think it would be nice if they offer some snack items (like nuts, trail mix) to order as a snack option, but understand may not be feasible with storage (just my thought). You can open a tab or pay as you go. We were planning on stopping a few places so we just ordered one and closed out our tab. The frozen sangria was really good and refreshing. They used the right red wine to keep it light. Would swing in again for a beer/wine/slush to chill and relax. read more

My second time coming to Grape & The Grain, this time was for Valentines weekend with my husband and some friends. They were hosting Orlando House Party's 90's R&B and we got tickets as early birds for only $5 each on eventbrite. My husband and myself have attended other Orlando House Party events in the past so I knew it was going to be a great time. What I really love about Grape & The Grain is the outdoor deck for social gatherings which ended up turning into a huge dance floor. Additionally, there was a night market in the back with local vendors, I wished I hadn't wore heals as I wanted to check them out more and missed the warning to not wear heals. It's gravel back there, combined with wine glasses is not a good mix. So heed the warning and be comfy, don't be like me. I went back to the deck and hung out there with our friends and enjoyed a couple of glasses of wine. However, I got the munchies and sent my husband to grab me an empanada from The Gnarly Cuban who was in the market. I know this review is for Grape and the Grain but I feel like the Gnarly Cuban might be a regular for night market and the cubano empanada is ah-mazing! I've had a variety of empanadas in my life but never a cubano, and it was everything you could ever want or ask for! Get one! Or and get the guava/cheese pastelitos too they're also fabulous, I just rave over the empanada bc I never had that kind before, it was a stick out item. Obviously this was a special event, and in the past I've been to happy hours here. So go for the chill vibes, the cool art inside and to relax on any other regular night as well. read more

Came here for a friend's birthday. They have some indoor seating, the back patio area is where it's at! We were able to snag a couch area for our large group. You have to go inside to order your drinks, which is only wine and beer and some frozen wine slushees. The Saturday evening we came, there was a good stand out back and live music. The music can be a bit loud if you are sitting right by the building, so sit accordingly. Overall, I liked the vibe, but would want some more options for beers on draft I think. read more

First time here tonight, beautiful venue, and came specifically for a music event. The outdoor patio is amazing. However, the reason I am giving three stars is because the bartender service was awful. None of them knew anything about the beer or wines they were offering. Then they have the audacity to tag on a 20% tip at the end. As someone in the hospitality industry for the last 15 years, I find it very discouraging when businesses do this. Service becomes subpar and the bartenders care less about giving good service because they know they are automatically getting a 20% tip. If it were up to me, I would've probably only left 12 to 15%, simply because I am in the industry. But no way did they deserve 20% and I was very taken back by this. Bad business practice. read more

I enjoy coming here for a casual and chill atmosphere. They have a simple menu with craft beers and wine and it's in a great location between Mills 50 and Ivanhoe Park.

Great place to go and hang with friends. It's a little small inside, but no worries, the massive patio out back makes up for it. They of course have wines but I opted for a frose. It's an adult slurpee or rose! Had a great time and good conversation with friends. Parking can be tricky so plan ahead. read more

Came here to sip wine and catch up with a friend, and loved it! There is not a big wine menu, but what they do offer is delicious. The ambiance is wonderful; there is plenty of outdoor seating and the inside is really cute and cozy if you choose to stay indoors. We chose to sit outdoors in the back, which was lovely and secluded, but because there was a lot of dead leaves/debris on the ground, tons of bugs crawled up the short table and got into our charcuterie board. Darn! Next time we'll sit on the deck. Towards the evening, they had live music playing, which was a really nice touch! I also loved how dog friendly it was... :) Parking can be tricky in this area, fyi! read more
