My best friend and I went here for a girls night recently and really loved the look of the bar and the bartender who served us was friendly. Our drink were very tasty as well and the menu definitely has me coming back wanting to try more. We came on a night that someone was having a birthday party which we were told was unusual and it was very packed and loud. I definitely want to come back again when it's a little more relaxed because it seems like a great spot.

We loved this cocktail bar. We stopped by for about an hour and had a couple drinks. They have happy hour Monday to Friday and all da happy hour Thursdays. Industry night is Monday, like most places, but includes healthcare workers! Cocktails are craft and delicious. Prices are pretty standard $15-$17. Decor is nice and seats are comfortable. They have outdoor and indoor seating. Restroom is key entry and shared among the sushi and pizza place but each restroom has multiple stalls. Service from Robert was fantastic. There were two other guys working as well. There was a cocktail event the night prior. We will have to follow them to learn more about these fun events. You can buy any bottle behind the bar. Amazing. We will be back.

Jazar Za'atar

Another great experience at Packwoods! This time, I tried the Jazar Za'atar, which had gin, Amaro, Za'atar spiced carrot, honey, orange, and lemon. It was absolutely delicious. It was the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and earthy. My boyfriend got the Domino Effect and loved it too. Service can be a little slow, but it's a bar. You know how it is. The location has a great ambience and you can order food from neighboring restaurants. Be sure to check them out for some solid craft cocktails.

I have to say I was pretty impressed with this place. I didn't expect much, but the bartenders are true mixologist and you never wait very long for a drink even when it's packed, they have someone running the floor and even tending to the tables outside. Apparently there's a wave sushi next-door and a pizzeria in the same complex so don't worry about forgetting to grab dinner before during or vice versa. Came here on a Friday night. It was fairly busy, but the turnover is pretty quick when it comes to seating and we were able to snag a spot at the bar. Bartenders are friendly and engaging, quick and knowledgeable. One of the bartenders even makes his own clarified alcohol, which is a true labor of love. The vibe is classy. The drinks are solid. The choices are ample and if you don't find something you want on the menu, just let the bartenders know for my second drink. I wanted something it's a little coffee flavor. I said I don't tequila and I don't vodka so no espresso martinis . I don't mind a good smoky, but I don't want the same old stuff. The bartender made me a drink that will be featured on the Valentine's Day menu and it was delicious. It looks like an old-fashioned but better.

Stopped by Packwoods for happy hour with coworkers on a Friday. I have been once before in the evening. We were a party of 8. We found seating easily and were able to pull up a 2nd table to accommodate our party. There are a few happy hour drinks on the menu. I ordered from the holiday menu. The coquito caught my eye. It was very good. Every drink I've had is good. There is not food served here but since packwoods is located in a food hall, you are allowed to order food and bring it over to eat which is great. Had a fun time here and would definitely recommend for drinks!

My small group stopped in at Packwoods after dinner and I'm so glad we did! The cocktail menu has a lot to pick from and was slightly intimated but our amazing server helped guide us through our best options after he learned about each person's preferences. He was so patient and kind, taking the time to make us feel welcomed and that he truly cared about giving us the best experience. The bar is small, so if you have a large group I would recommend coming during off peak hours to make sure you can sit together. Parking is in a small flat lot but it is shared with several other businesses, so it does fill up. I would recommend taking an Uber if you're going to be drinking anyway though.

Located in a food hall this bar/ lounge gives a midcentury vibe. Very swanky. I loved how you can order food at the different restaurants and your food will be delivered directly to you. Tour server was a blast. Great conversation and recommendations. They are a true craft cocktail bar. They even have a pickle martini. I will be back soon.

Menu & Mood

Wanna go to a bar where everybody knows your name without the "dive bar" vibe? Then this is your spot! No shade to Sam Malone... The staff here, like our server Alex, will make you feel right at home. He won't just ask you what you want from the menu, but he'll ask you what flavors your going for, how strong of a drink you like, and then from there will curate his recommendations accordingly. Best drink rec I have is the Finders Fee. It's light, crisp, dry and made from Pisco and a bunch of other stuff that Alex gave a 2 min elevator pitch on that would've gained an investment from me if we were on shark tank!

OG Martini
Bethany W.

I loved our whole experience at Packwoods! The bar was busy, every table full, and there was little standing room to try to order. Within not even one minute of walking in, a server provided us with a menu and said they'd be back around to take our order. I just want to say -- I LOVE their menus. They include an icon of the type of glass it will be served in... sometimes I want to know if I'm getting more or less liquid to drink ha! AND they had a sliding scale for the boozy, sweet and umami parts of the cocktail. As someone who does not enjoy sweet cocktails and loves more spirit-forward, this was super helpful! The server did come back as promised, and we both ordered the OG Martinis. We let them know we'd sitting outside, and before our martinis arrived, another server brought 2 waters! I was so grateful. Then not too much longer after, our martinis were brought out. After maybe less than 10 minutes of sitting outside (we had not finished our first round), the server comes out to let us know there is a table for 2 that opened up inside! It was so thoughtful cause you know Florida humidity. Our next drinks were the Spill the Tea and the Witty Bastard. We enjoyed them both! Most of the cocktails are between $14-$15, so a lil pricey but they do have a happy hour I want to check out! Service, drinks and atmosphere were phenomenal.

I have been to Packwoods twice now. I have enjoyed the atmosphere and drinks. This week we celebrated Galentines there and Alex helped us all pick the perfect cocktails! I also like that Pizza Bruno & Wave Sushi are right there if we get hungry.

First time here. Loved the atmosphere and the drinks were equally yummy. My friend and I decided to sit at the bar and order food from next door. On Thursday, they have happy hour drinks all day. The drinks were phenomenal. I ordered my usual go to, an old fashioned and it was delicious, The bartenders were good and can make pretty much any drink you ask, My friend ordered the dirty martini and she said it was really good. This is a really cool bar with great atmosphere and good service. I will def be back.

Jordan C.

A+ service (shout out to Alex) and delicious drinks. I loved the creativity and the graphic design of their menu. They also have an excellent happy hour. I am glad we finally visited and will be coming back and excited to have them in the neighborhood.

Liquor selection

Awesome new cocktail bar addition to the Maitland area! Packwoods is a new concept coming from Thriving Hospitality, located in a shared building space next to Foxtail, the Wave Sushi, and Pizza Bruno. Interior is well designed and their liquor selection is expansive. They have some Happy Hour specials as well. We ended up having a few cocktails which were excellently hand crafted and expertly prepared. Also tried a few pours of some of their rum collection. The hospitality and service from the bartenders was amazing. They were super friendly and attentive. Fun visit to Packwoods and a lovely new addition to the area!

See all

The decor speaks for itself, this place is absolutely decked out to the high heavens for Christmas and definitely worth a reservation and stop in ! but... be SURE to make a reservation because you may not be able to get in if you don't (best do it a couple days in advance if you can!) Rudolph's Replacement: 10/10 for cuteness (got it for the TRex cup) BUT this drink tasted like chocolate grass. if that's ur vibe, you'll love it. Christmapolitan: Not the cutest, average for looks just in a normal cute little glass, but guess what.... it was thebest drink we had!! 10/10 for flavor, loves it. Dancing Sugarplumb: Again not the cutest it's basic, BUT THE FLAVOR 9/10 The Krampus: the cup is killer. love it. drinks like a sippy cup, but for a Christmas demon. there is mezcal in this it's definitely on the smokier side, but even the mezcal haters at the table love it. 8/10 flavor if you like a little smoky and a tad bit of heat. All we had to eat was the pretzels with pimento - i was skeptical but wow, super good! All in all, would definitely recommend, you just have to plan to come here in advance and get that reservation!

Definitely make a reservation ahead because these themed pop ups that The Courtesy does book up quickly and you don't wanna miss out on it! Can't wait for the Christmas Holiday ones! Our first round of drinks were amazing and perfect choices of cup design or garnish. The only downside was when we ordered one drink there was confusing on whether it was up to the allergy request we had but it was fixed shortly after but I feel as if the server should have been more educated on it since it could have been avoided. Other than that the drinks were perfect, which my favorite was the Scream cocktail which came in its iconic Ghostface cup and went along with my outfit and Scream mask and knife I brought along with me. After another round of drinks we got their Trick or Treat shots which were definitely interesting and live up to their names for both shots! Definitely fit the vibe with the music, atmosphere and decorations around the bar which made an awesome spot for Halloween themed drinks to enjoy for the season!

The hidden door which you push is on the right side. Once inside the bar it is super small inside. The tables along the wall are squished together. I think you're better off at the bar. I could see lots of people bringing dates here. First up, I tried a $17 Tree of Life. The drink the bartender made me was maybe 2 sips. There's a giant ice cube and a bamboo leaf or something and very little drink to drink. Not sure what to make of this because as soon as I was deciding if I liked it or not, it was gone. Wouldn't order this again. Second, I tried a $17 Adam & Eve. I wish the matcha was much stronger. There's a place in Tampa called Tori Bar that has a super duper matcha tasting cocktail. This one was much lighter. It was fine, not my favorite. Maybe I'd bring a date here sometime, but wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

The wrap around bar area is spacious and covered. Cool retro music is always playing here. We were again served by Andy and Noah! They are two of the hardest working servers in the business. In fact, every one of the servers at this spot seems to up their game, possibly due to the great vibe of this outdoor bar.

It's got a nice sitting are to stick around and enjoy a drink after throwing too. I did dock one star because they wouldn't refund us for the 2 no shows, they said we could either take an extra half hour for the 4 of us or call the owner later, it just seemed more complicated that necessary. I would understand a non refundable deposit and then charging full for whoever shows up, but charging full for no shows seems odd. Either way I'd definitely recommend this place! It's great for friends or a date.

Instead of ordering from a menu, I trusted him to craft something based on my vibe and somehow, he nailed it. Not once, but twice. It was like he scanned my palate and delivered exactly what I didn't even know how to ask for. Easily the best cocktail I've ever had made for me. Everyone I was with had the same experience. Drinks felt personalized, balanced, and thoughtfully executed. It's rare to find that level of intuition behind the bar. On the food side, I tried the corn ribs, which were a standout in their own way. Unique, flavorful, and an easy choice if you're a fan of corn. They worked perfectly as a shareable appetizer. The overall vibe leans toward a more decadent, intimate experience. It's the kind of place you go when you want to slow down, have meaningful conversation, and enjoy something crafted with care. If you're looking for a cocktail spot that goes beyond the menu and delivers something truly tailored, this place is special.
