Hidden deep inside a strip mall in central Florida you will find this awesome venue that has a good amount of standing space as well as very good sound that's sure to leave your ear drums ringing from the noise! They have a full bar with drinks and brews all of which were decently priced for a venue which is very rare now a days! The bartender noticed us fast and was very friendly to get our drinks each time which at a venue is a very rare thing so much love to them for that! We came here for The Casualties which was a super fun show at a small venue you really can't go wrong so do yourself a favor and if a band you like is playing here come see them and help keep the scene alive! Until next time I'll see you in the circle pit!

I have been coming here since I moved to Orlando back in 2001 and it was always a great place to grab a few drinks, enjoy the live music and the friendly service. I am going to miss Muldoon's Saloon.

Have you ever gone to a place and thought to yourself, this place could be so much better if they…read morewould just do...this? Well, Muldoons is that bar for sure. Muldoons has that blue collar, biker bar vibe which is cool. The beer is cold and the people are friendly. I love that they have live music outside but that outdoor area needs a little help. The blue tarp flappin in the wind behind the stage needs to go. The indoor bar is super smokey but if you're not bothered it's no big deal. All in all if you're in the mood for local music and a beer Muldoons is worth a visit.

Here with my Red Hat Society Ladies to see Wreck the Halls, a Christmas themed play. I didn't know…read morethere was a theater here so I'm pleasantly surprised. It's a short walk from several restaurants and bars so you can park in one of the large parking lots. I loved the sitting area in the lobby. Intimate seating behind large picture windows. There is a concession stand with wine available. As a matter of fact, you can pre-order a drink to pick up at intermission. So cool. I'm looking forward to returning in January for the next play.

"From My Hometown" is, without question, the hottest ticket in Central Florida…read more If you haven't secured a seat yet, do whatever you can to get one. This production delivers a level of entertainment that surpasses anything I've seen at Dr. Phillips. The show transports you to a time when confidence felt earned, ambition was fueled by self‑belief, and the dream of success pulsed through every city street. Three cousins reunite unexpectedly in 1970s New York City, each chasing their shot at rhythm‑and‑blues stardom. Having been in NYC during that era myself, the musical stirred memories of a time when music wasn't designed to shock--it was meant to lift the spirit, soothe the soul, and move you from the inside out. This show captures that perfectly. From the moment the curtain rises, the audience is swept into a world that never disappoints. By the end of the evening, you realize you've been entertained more deeply than any amusement park or theater in the region could ever promise. If the spirit of James Brown, Otis Redding, or Jackie Wilson can be felt anywhere today, it's on this stage. Absolutely loved it.

Went to the matinee showing of James & The Giant Peach. We had such a great time. I was afraid it…read morewas going to be to noise with the kids & it being a matinee, but no! It was great! Pro tip: order ASAP after you arrive. If you aren't quick, there have been times when we get our food 1/2 hour before the show ends!. However, their menu is great! Everything is hot and fresh of the grill! I haven't received food I haven't enjoyed. All pf the seating is really good to! Not a bad spot in the house. If there is one last note I should add, it's this: GET THE POPCORN! It is fantastic! They use real butter!!!

The given night I came here Driveways was playing and I must say it was a super fun show it sounded good the venue was awesome for music and the staff was very nice at the door! My gps did put me in the wrong spot so keep in mind that it's around the corner so if you don't see it right away keep venturing and you'll find it! Overall super cool venue with awesome sound hope to come back here again at some point for another show! Until then see you in the circle pit!

This place is great! We went for a live jazz performance. There is no food, just a bar…read more We were in section B and honestly it was great! I wouldn't recommend section C - they had those tall metal chairs that look uncomfortable in that section. I honestly wish I'd got section A, but those shows sell out so quickly that it seems harder to snag those. The sound was amazing & the band was really talented. The look/vibe is really great too! The doors don't open till right before showtime, but there's covered tables & chairs to sit & wait. Parking was a bit tight. The doormen were very fast & efficient. Everyone was friendly too! Overall I really like The Abbey & am going back again in a few weeks, Oh - pro tip - there's an absolutely OUTSTANDING sushi restaurant around the corner & they were very accommodating when we said we were in a hurry to get to the show on time. Check them out!

It's what I call a hole-in-the-wall bar, but a fun place to occasionally visit and have a drink or two. They offer specials different days of the week and they hold Bingo games where you can actually win $$$. They don't offer much to eat, maybe some chips and pretzels. LOL, they do have an actual snack machine where you can purchase items. There were two other customers in there when we came in; we all introduced ourselves and had great conversation. It's a shame that the owner doesn't try to upgrade this bar. It really is a hole-in-the-wall!

When we entered they were so grateful that we were there. I was happy to be supporting the arts in addition to supporting a non-profit. They have snacks and drinks for sale and there is seating available for you to listen and vibe with the musicians. After the first set, musicians can sign up to play on stage which I thought was really cool. There are so many talented musicians in central Florida! I hope more people know about these events to support the arts. We had a really good time!

The bar has changed quite a bit since the last time I was inside but it was still good vibes all around. The bartenders made a great gimlet and spicy bloody mary for us. I'm impressed with how many bathrooms there were here! To me, that is necessary at a bar. Whoever was running sound that night did a great job because the band never felt overly loud. I was a little nervous about it without my ear plugs (why do I always forget those when I'm going to see a band!). Anyway, loved that they still had a photobooth and we had fun playing pinball for a while. This is a bit of an Orlando institution so I'm glad it's stuck around!

Nevertheless, I make it out to Will's a few times a year. They have individual bathrooms which honestly feels like the only thing I need to mention, thank god there's like three of them. I don't drink much anymore so I can't tell you about the bar, but I'm sure it's fine. The pinball machines and the photobooth are must haves. Will's also supports a lot of cool local causes and is generally a pillar of the community. Catch a show here, you won't regret it.

When we were seated, they let us know we only had 2 hours at our table as they had another reservation afterwards but they were more lenient with the actual time. The music was loud but lovely and the band knew how to engage the crowd playing R&B hits. The food was tasty and we especially loved the wings, short rib, and honestly all the desserts. The brownie is more of a souffle and was massive. Our server made some great recommendations and was very friendly. We saw him running around like crazy to all his tables and it seemed like he could've used some more help as we had to wait at times on our water being refilled, getting leftovers packed up to go, and closing out our checks. The vibe was great and we will definitely be back!
