    Star bar !! With Tyler the bar tender
    Max Anthony C.

    Tyler suggested our drinks for us and it was so good! We had starburst flavor shots. He is awesome and made our experience one of a kind. Really fun & the best part is this bar is the cheapest on the whole block!

    I don't know who came up with the idea of placing a small bar right beneath the thrill ride that shares the same name and location as the STAR FLYER attraction but kudos to that person he or she is a fricking genius. This is a cool little bar that offers a vast selection of beers and some very nice crafted cocktails. Although it acts as an oasis from the Florida sun and humidity while waiting in line it seems that the main purpose is more about pouring a little liquid courage for those who need a little more time to make the decision to take a seat or not on the most wicked swing ride in the world or possibly to calm those who have just stepped off this thrill ride and in need of a drink to relieve their anxiety or in my case a place to wait to do it again. This pairing is a perfect combination for the adult thrill seeker and it would be interesting to know which business makes the most revenue. Although I knew the answer I had to ask if they had "to go cups" for the ride, of course the answer was no, that would so take it to another level. Whether you stop in before or after enjoying this attraction this little bar is great, the bartender was friendly and attentive serving some of the most reasonably priced drinks on International Drive, so if you need a shot of courage this is the spot...

    PPV

    Visiting Orlando we were looking for a bar that played PPV so we could watch our favorite fights. Everything near the hotel was either packed or did not offer PPV. We had seen this bar had the sign displaying they would play the fights. We didn't think we would go here since is so small, we thought it would be too crowded and the service wouldn't be good form how busy it would be. It was the complete opposite. It was crowded, yet a very nice environment. Everyone was enjoying the fights together and the bartenders were always making sure everyone was being attended. Our bartender was a lady and she was very very nice with incredible fast service despite being so busy on a Saturday night given the PPV. I will definitely be coming back on our next visit. Despite the fact they don't offer mojito is still a 5 star place. Visited sat 8/17/19.

    Birthday celebration turned into a major disappointment…read more I chose Arcade Monsters for my 41st birthday after calling and visiting beforehand to ask about the bar. I specifically asked whether they served Tito's vodka with soda and lime and was told they had a full bar. That was a deciding factor in booking. During the party, drinks were served without anyone explaining that the "liquor" was wine-based. I only learned that after ordering my third drink. My guests and I had been led to believe they were getting actual spirits, and it was embarrassing to have to explain the difference after the fact. The food was just as disappointing. The chicken nuggets were so bad we threw them away, and a guest told me their child became sick after eating the pizza. The private room was hot, and the fans blew napkins and other things around the table. I spent more than $800 on the room, food, drinks, admission, and fees. The only part of the event that went as expected was admission. I contacted management to request a refund for the non-admission charges and have not received a response to my follow-up asking what they intend to do. This was supposed to be a special birthday celebration. Instead, the bar was misrepresented, the food was poor, the room was uncomfortable, and management has left my complaint unanswered. I would not book a private event here again.

    Such a fun spot for happy hour! We came in ready to relax and left already planning our next visit…read more The drink specials were generous and the vibe was warm and lively without being too loud to actually talk. Hands down the star of the show was the shrimp dish, perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and honestly some of the best we've had in a while. We ended up ordering a second round just to enjoy it a little longer. Service was friendly and attentive the whole time, which made the experience even better. If you're looking for a great happy hour with a standout menu item, The Whyskey delivers. We'll definitely be back!

We chose seats at the bar and were greeted promptly by Brian and Rowan. Because there were a lot of people and just the two of them, they were running around taking orders from tables as well as servicing the bar so it did take a little bit to get our drink orders in, but we were enjoying looking through the whiskey library anyways. I started off with a Suncreek blonde ale. It is strawberry blonde ale and it's delicious. My husband started with the Yingling. He keeps hoping they will bring the Kentucky bourbon ale back on tap again. For lunch, I got the whiskey dip which is full of chopped beef with cheese and onions. Served with an herb, dipping sauce, and your choice of side. I opted for the sweet potato waffle fries because they are delicious. My husband got a burger with fries cooked perfectly. Once we are done with our food, we did opt for a taster. My husband had to go through several different bottles before he found one they actually had in stock. That is one of the downside is the whiskey library that is online is not always reflective of what they actually have in stock as he was really looking forward to trying the old Fitzgerald birthday, but alas, they did not have it in stock. He ended up going with the jack Daniels 12 year and really enjoyed it. I opted for the widow Jane 14 year very sweet easy to drink. Great service from Bryan and Rowan always enjoy seeing them behind the bar

To start, I ordered the spring rolls and the salmon bites. Both appetizers were delicious and made excellent starters. My only suggestion would be to include a little more sauce with the salmon bites. Even so, they were incredibly flavorful and enjoyable on their own. For my entrée, I had the lamb chops with basmati rice. The lamb chops were absolute perfection--cooked perfectly, tender, and seasoned exceptionally well. The basmati rice, however, was a bit dry, and I think it would have been much better with a gravy or sauce. Looking back, I wish I had ordered the mashed potatoes instead. I also swapped out the roasted potatoes for French fries, which ended up being the better choice for me. Overall, this was a fantastic dining experience with delicious food and a great atmosphere. The lamb chops alone are worth coming back for, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

The atmosphere definitely makes the experience. There was live music while we were there, and I loved that they also have artwork throughout the restaurant that you can actually purchase. It gives the space so much personality and makes it feel different from your typical restaurant. Service was decent. It was pretty busy, so our server only checked on us a few times, but overall we still had a good experience.

Parking was a bit difficult if we didn't want to do the complimentary valet, but luckily they opened up a self parking option for us next door so we appreciated the nice gesture from the staff. It was super loud in here so take a note of that if you're bringing little ones. We ordered plenty of items, and got plenty full. Some highlights were the brussel sprouts, butter chicken tissa masala and the warm guava bread pudding. The self serve taco bar was also really good. The rest of the food was just ok. Probably a better place to have brunch with friends and if you come really hungry, but we were with our toddler and baby so wouldn't go back until they're a bit older.
