    Heyyyyyy you guyyyyyyys! Had the pleasure of visiting for R&B night which was Friday. Cocktails were reasonably priced during HH. The crowd comes after 9. Music was GREAT total vibe. Not all the bartenders mixology was on point very unbalanced drinks but there was one I wasn't able to catch her name she was on it. Grown and sexy vibe, casual attire. High tops available, two bars, VIP booth spaces available with bottle service. Overall a time was had!

    Real nice lounge spot in downtown Orlando. Great drink specials and music is superb. Love the vibes and aesthetic. No cover to get in.

    Truth be told, I've often went to the other bars and clubs that are right next to this establishment, but never been to this one. It's very nice and very upscale. It gives a luxury and it gives a very classy look. A friend of mine went in here for their happy hour on Wednesdays and we ordered a couple of happy hour drinks. She ordered the old fashion and I can't remember what I ordered, but it was absolutely delicious. I went on later to order the old-fashioned myself and that was really good. We ordered the buffalo pizza which is listed below, but a few minutes after we ordered the Philly cheesesteak pizza and it wasn't as good as the buffalo but still delicious. I would come back without a shadow of doubt. Food was quite good and was filling as far as flavor was concerned. I'll be back! The vibe and the people that were there just gave a really classy look.

    Finally, a proper bar downtown, with all my mid century glam decor dreams come true and a happy hour to top it all off. Came here on a Saturday for happy hour, despite downtown being a rachet mess on the weekend, Proper was an oasis. A DJ spinning vinyl records surrounded by a stylish space, friendly service and good drinks. I got the penicillin ($10) since it was surprising to see Monkey Shoulder scotch on a happy hour menu and was not disappointed. Going downtown is a mission, but if you manage it check out Proper ;)

    This place was AWESOME. I am a sucker for unique cocktail bars. I'm also an EDM fan so this bar really just ticked all of my boxes. I love the concept of an actual listening room. And what was so neat about it was that the acoustics in the room felt as though you were at an actual concert. You could feel the vibrations in your bones, but without it being too loud! It was excellent. The bartenders were incredibly nice. The drinks were awesome. Unfortunately I can't remember what my partner drank, but I got the Vuela Vuela which was a sweet coconut drink and I was in love. I really really wish we had something like this in Houston. Excellent bar.

    4 stars for a beautiful new cocktail bar in downtown Orlando! The space has some beautiful couches and chairs to hang out in. There's a happy hour menu until 7 pm (Tues to Sat), with different drinks that are $10. Normally all cocktails are $15, they have other selections of wine and beer too. We ordered from the happy hour, I went with an old fashioned and my husband got the penicillin. Both really packed a kick! The penicillin has monkey shoulder and some other aged Scotch. My old fashioned was made with Benchmark Bonded bourbon. Love that they play music on records and there's comfortable seating in many areas! Overall a great new place to check out in Orlando!

    Proper brings sophisticated lounge to Orlando. We have clubs, bars, bars with food but Proper brings a new experience that we were dying to have! A space dedicated to eclectic music, different DJ styles, comfortable seating and cocktails. We enjoyed Friday happy hour as one of only a few people, while the DJ spun a cross between jazz and soul and eventually picked it up with some old school hip hop as crowds got bigger. The bar tenders checked on us and served us at the lounge area we were sitting at and were very attentive considering the amount of people that started to fill in. I noticed in a previous review that there was no food at the time they reviewed. We did have a great charcuterie cheese board by the local La Femme Du Fromage" out of East End Market. I love when local places partner to support each other! So, it's a bite and not a meal, but honestly the vibe here doesn't scream they should have food in the first place. We had a wonderful evening vibing to different genres of music and really great cocktails. I'd say this place is for the "Grown and Sexy" who don't want a club but love music and a drink. Can't wait till some of our family comes down to take them to this new fav spot of ours.

    Proper is lounge/bar in the Dowtown Orlando area. It offers an upscale vibe to Downtown Orlando sandwiched in the midst of all the chaos. It very reminiscent of a vinyl listening bar and the DJ being right in the middle being the main focus is a great touch. It's a beautiful atmosphere and if you're looking for something fun but not too crazy with nice aesthetics it hits all the marks. Music isn't overwhelming loud so you can still maintain a conversation. It's perfect for a date night or if you have a group of friends with you. For dress code I'd say slightly above casual would be acceptable. Their cocktail menu isn't the biggest but the atmosphere makes up for the lack cocktail options. The bottom line, this is great fun spot and for someone like me who doesn't care for clubs but likes good music and drinks with some nice aesthetics this is the perfect spot. Drink menu is a bit limited but I'd still recommend it.

    It's a vibe if you're here to just hand and dance a little bit. Not a place for a large group to sit and talk. Music was loud but it was a vibe.

    I attended a preview of this location a while back. Overall, the theme of venue is cool, but I was disappointed in the selections. They have very limited food for a full bar. If you do come here, I HIGHLY suggest eating before or making plans to eat after. For one drink, I paid around $20 +tax. It was a little much for me, but it was good. For seating, they have reserved tables/couches for guests, which is an additional cost (unless that has changed). There is some bar seating, but there is mostly standing only. Parking is a bit of an adventure since it is downtown so plan to pay for parking in a parking garage or circle around for a street parking for a while. The ambiance is great! As I said, the theme is really cool and I collect old records in my free time so I loved it. I'm hopping they start to play more oldies or songs people know as well as the indie music they had at the time. Service was great! The bartender was very nice during my visit. I probably won't be coming back - since I'm not a big bar person.

    A date night.. these are few and far between so we were so excited to visit @properorl and have a few drinks. Loved the vibe and decor. The attention to detail was perfect, from the lighting, and the eclectic music, to the well crafted old fashions I sipped. Such a good night with my husband . We'll be back.

    I would go to Proper Orlando again. I think it's such a unique concept to play vinyl all night long. We tried three cocktails: Coastal Grooves, Easy Easy, and the Strawberry Switchblade. Both Coastal Grooves and Easy Easy were quite refreshing with hints of citrus. Coastal Grooves was more fruity with a little pineapple. Each of these house cocktails was priced at $15 dollars. When closing the bill, an automatic gratuity was included. As I went at night on a busy weekend, I would suggest making a reservation if you plan on spending more time there. My group didn't have a reservation, we managed to find seats at some point. After a while, though we did have to move from the seats, the staff was polite about it though. Despite the limited space, the bar's decoration was pretty. The cozy, clean, and classy ambiance enhanced the overall experience. The music volume was a little loud which made conversations somewhat challenging. All in all, I had a positive experience at Proper. I would return during happy hour to try more drinks. It would be even more enticing if they added more food to their menu. When I went I think there was only one or two food items available.

    No food here. This place is for drinks only. Good selection of spirits. Although the mixed selection is limited. Was not impressed with the mixed drink that I had. Service was slow. Not engaging bartender. They had 4 people at the bar and talking amongst themselves. Min interaction with guest. Crowd on a Tuesday night at as dead. Music was so so. They were playing Vinyl Records. Bar was not the best place and you will get neck soreness, the main action is behind you.

It is such a relaxing environment, think of this like a high end cocktail bar but for hookahs. Almost any flavor you could imagine, they have. I thought I understood the world of hookah until I came here. I left with a Masters in Hookology and I am hooked - no pun intended. The experience and service you receive here is second to none; have you ever been to a really nice restaurant where they know how to pair a nice wine to your dinner? Well they know how to pair a nice hookah with your hookah. Have you ever done hookah on hookah? I have, and it is an enlightening experience. I have found a new home to experiment with all the different flavors. Also, moving on to the food, the Plov, the napoleon cake, the Pepperoni Pizza, and the Khachipouri are things I have tried and have been blown away by. It's almost like the first time you use a bidet, mind blowing. And again, I'll bring up Hunter again, he makes you really love enjoying a hookah. Come with an open mind if you don't know what to get and trust in Hunter.

Southern comfort food as a general rule just doesn't sit well with me anymore and I'm going to be very transparent and bare my soul a little bit here but here goes . . . Ever since being on GLP1's, I've developed a really complicated relationship with comfort food. Foods that are rich, buttery, creamy or fatty now hit me completely differently than they used to. It's almost like my body immediately goes into shutdown mode afterwards. I feel heavy, exhausted and like I've instantly ballooned even if the portions themselves aren't massive. For the longest time I honestly thought it was simply the richness of the food itself but now I realize it's because my digestion just can't process heavier comfort foods the same way anymore. Suddenly... it all makes sense. The food itself here is VERY good. Properly seasoned, well prepared, beautifully presented... absolutely no complaints there whatsoever. I simply have to become more mindful and strategic now with my menu selections no matter WHERE I dine. I chose the Creekstone Farm's NY Strip with the fabulous bone marrow which I KNOW is supposed to be incredibly nutrient rich and good for you... but honestly... it just about put me under afterwards. This dinner happened thanks to Ronnald M. and his sister Teris and it was our pre-opera dinner outing before seeing the fabulous Merry Widow at the Dr. Phillips Center. The Monroe is honestly a very good pre-concert restaurant choice because of both the atmosphere and location... I'm just personally learning that this new GLP1 reality means I can't approach menus the way I used to anymore.
