While they don't have food, they DO have fantastic Jell-O shots and magnificent flair! There is also plenty of food located nearby in the usual pop-up food spots in the front, or several nearby restaurants. If you're interested in mixology, enjoy a great cocktail, or want to just spend time where you can people watch and enjoy a good vibe, you can't go wrong with Aku Aku.

They don't serve food but with all the food trucks during the Farmer's Market, we were able to grab a bite. This place has been around for a long time. It's a great place to roll through if you're hanging in downtown Orlando.

After months of anticipation... I finally made it to Alfie's…read more It was exactly what I was hoping it would be: a slice of culture. Real people. Real life. Real youth. Real energy. Real good vibes. Orlando obviously has no shortage of places to eat, drink, and gather, but Alfie's belongs to that rare category of venues that feel equally at home in a major metropolis. It's the kind of spot that would fit seamlessly into Los Angeles's best neighborhoods: think Gold Line in Highland Park or the Vinyl Room at the Hollywood Palladium. Not because they're carbon copies, but because they share that intangible quality of genuine discovery and cultural curiosity. The crowd ( age range 25 - 35 mostly ) was genuinely engaged with one another. People were actually talking, actually present, not hunched over their phones. That alone felt invigorating. There was an undeniable spark in the room. Alfie's wasn't chasing trends; it was simply allowing them to emerge naturally. What impressed me most was how they brought it all together .. Retro stereo equipment and vinyl players from the 50s mixed with a bar area that's super sleek and modern. Conversations, music, the lounge itself .... all came together in a way that felt alive and IN THE MOMENT. When my LA friends visit, Alfie's is on the list. Go after 9 or 10 PM and plan to stay for at least two hours. That's when you really see the scene develop and come alive. Bring your ID: they card at the door. Even at my age, I still get carded. No complaining about that ! lol

A few minutes later, they told us we had to get up because another party had apparently reserved the table. If the table was reserved, they never should have seated us there in the first place. We asked for a refund since the situation was their mistake, but instead of processing it, they tried to convince us to sit back down somewhere else. We had to ask for a refund three separate times before they finally gave it to us. What should have been a simple apology and refund turned into an unnecessary hassle. Mistakes happen, but the way this was handled was unprofessional and frustrating. Customer service could definitely be improved.

First you check in at the hostess booth in a small room where she does her spiel and fully explains the menu. Then she will lead you inside the restaurant to your seat. We sat in a private nook in the corner which accommodated our 8 people (which the staff was fine with us adding 2 more to our 6 person reservation initially). The entire place is so well decorated and if you look around there's tons of fun details and decor. The menu is made up of a map and they provide everyone with their own personal flashlight to see it. When you order certain drinks, it triggers various special effects. At times, it felt like an adult rainforest cafe with changing sounds and lights. Our server went above and beyond to make our experience great, going all out with his special effects and overall sassiness. You get a two hour allotment and our server did a great job of updating us of how much time we had left. We will definitely be back!

Past it is a gorgeous garden with lots of seating and the Wellborn house. The interior of the house is so aesthetic, with an eclectic-vintage look too it. There's lots of cool art and lighting throughout the home. There's bathrooms even ball pits for photos, which is such a cute whimsical touch. We went to the upstairs bar and it was surprising quiet for a Saturday. The staff was super sweet and we spent a while chatting with them. They even brought out complimentary shots, which was very kind of them. We sat on the patio overlooking the garden while enjoying our drinks. It stayed quite lit so we were able to enjoy ourselves and just hang out I'm so glad I finally came here and can't wait to come back again!

This hidden gem is highly celebrated for its lush, tropical courtyard and its unique setup within a cluster of historic properties, including the Norment-Parry House, which is Orlando's oldest documented residence ( the real estate side of me loves this so much ) Ambiance is gorgeous at night and vibe is very low key. We decided to stop here first to have a cocktail and enjoy some music but for a Friday night it was very boring so we left and went further into downtown for a more fun vibe with good music. I heard Sunday brunch here is amazing so I'll try that and get back to you with an updated review !

She even asked what kind of mood I was going for, which made the whole experience feel more intentional and personalized. The space itself is... almost too aesthetically perfect. Every wall feels like an Instagram backdrop covered in inspirational quotes. At one point I genuinely felt like I was inside Instagram. That said, it's a vibe. Peaceful, polished, and very work-friendly. I could absolutely see myself getting a lot of work done there just based on the atmosphere alone--it feels productive and calming. My only personal hurdle is that I'm not usually downtown during the day, and I'm cheap when it comes to paying for parking. But if you're nearby, parking is free, or you're already in the area, this is definitely a spot worth checking out. Between the friendly service and the serene aesthetic, it's an easy recommendation.
