Service? The bar at Shade House is filled with the BEST ladies. Vibe? It's vibin. If you're looking for a good craft beer, their selection is always changing and focuses on local brews for about $6 a pop. They have a happy hour of cocktails for $6 a pop as well. 10/10 I live here now.

During the day, it's…read morean event space for local groups, venue for fun workshops, plant swap event location, outdoor dining space for Propagate, and bar on weekend afternoons. Then at night the space transforms to be a full cocktail bar with food options , live music, and visiting food trucks and a nighttime farmers/creators market once a month. Plus, seasonally, it's a Pumpkin Patch and Christmas Tree Farm! The large deck includes lush plants, picnic tables, cozy Adirondack chairs, and is bookended by a fabulous bar and stage for live music. I cannot say enough good things about this space and its owners. They are part of the push to create community in Apopka through offering engaging quality businesses and venues (these are the people behind the future Hall's on 5th food hall right on the same street!). I have been coming to Propagate since we started building our home and have really enjoyed seeing their business flourish over the past few years. They have a loyal customer in me and I cannot wait to see what's next. I digress, the service at The Shade House is stellar, the cocktails are creative, and the vibe is an extension of Propagates but with some added spice. You guys outdid yourselves on this one.

The bartenders were very knowledgeable and gave us info related to their craft beers. There was a food truck on scene that had a variety of Mediterranean cuisine named Olive and Feta Grill.

They have…read morea steady stream of regulars, the beer is top notch, and they are not trying to be pretentious... just good craft beer at great prices. Then venue is intimate on the inside. They have good air which in Florida is a definite plus. And they have an extended outside area which would make this place great for groups. The patrons are friendly and the service is more than inviting. And to be in downtown Ocoee FL, where? If you reproduced this brewery anywhere else in the world, there would be lines wrapped around the block for three or four blocks. Couldn't find a beer I didn't like. Didn't sample them all, but it is clear someone here cares more about the beer they produce than just having taps filled. So very impressed with all of the beer. I had the pleasures of being served by Katie, and she was really the best. She was not over the top, just super mellow and very attentive. I so want to camp out here and spend every weekend with the great beer at Toll Road Brewing Company. The BEER: Sun Ryes rye IPA 7.3% ABV... I can honestly say this is a complex and solid IPA Get off my Lawn Helles Lager 4.7% ABV... this is good, smother once it fully carbonates Liquid Schwartz schwarzbier 5% ABV... I really love this beer, it is everything promised and more Czech's in the Mail pilsner 4.8% ABV... so this is good. Wish they had the long Czech pour, it would elevate. It definitely needs to sit and carbonate, because once that happens, the magic starts. Tripel Lindy Belgian tripel 10.2% ABV... this Belgian is smooth, not boozy and super delicious. One or two only, unless you are having a frat party. To Hefe & Back hefeweizen 5.3% ABV... this is an excellent hefe more citrus in the front, but as it warms it settles down to an almost perfect banana clove experience. Toll Road Brewing Company is a sleeper... one of the best breweries in Florida. If you like craft beer and you don't visit, you have missed a wonderful experience.

There is an elevator that will take you to the second floor and the entrance to Pilars Martini & Loft is right in front of you when you exit. There are also restrooms available and medium sized air-conditioned lobby where you can take calls if Pilars has live music inside. Pilars is an upscale lounge and music club. When we arrived, the live entertainment was setting up for later that evening. It was actually nice having the calm contrast to what was happening in the streets currently. Food here seems fairly high-end; it's Market-to-table so everything is a bit pricy. Appetizers start at $14, one of their most expensive appetizers is Seared Foie Gras ($26). If you're not a big spender, they do have Chicken Wings or BBQ Short Rib Sliders for $14, and a Market Burger for $16. If you're looking for something a little more special, they have Filet Mignon ($86), Lamb Shank ($42), Braised Beef Short Ribs ($46), and Iberico Pork ($76). Most of their specialty drinks will run you between $12-$14. Beers are between $6-$9 and non-alcoholic drinks anywhere between $2.50-$8. We didn't stay too long because we were bopping around checking out different places during the festival, but if you are looking for a great place to take a date or have a nice evening out with friends, listening to great live music and Jazz this is a premier spot in the Winter Garden area.

You have to ask for bread which is a charge. Bread and butter freshly made yummy! Desert was the brown butter cake with fresh small orange slices and topped with homemade whip cream and seasoned walnut. Light and delicious. This is a special place.

When we arrived the front room was empty with a sign to head to the back to be seated. We were able to grab a table and the server came by pretty quickly. She was super friendly and did let us know right away they were a little short staffed and it could be a little longer than normal service would be expected to be. We were ok with that and appreciate the transparency before we even ordered. I opted for a chicken Caesar salad since I was not too hungry. The salad was the perfect size and the chicken was grilled perfectly. One of the kids had the wings - she said they were cooked perfectly and the other had chicken tenders and fries - she liked them as well. We really didn't feel the wait was that long for food or for service, but you could tell the server and the manager were both hustling. Will be back for another meal. They also have lots of TVs for sporting events and they had a line dancing class going on inside as well. Looks like they do some fun events during the week so check it out!

My parents and I all got sick to our stomachs, feeling bogged down, overloaded with grease, and just gross. The chicken salad sandwich was uninspired and boring. The French dip sandwich (I don't remember what name they gave this on the menu) was just okay. That's it, just okay. And worst of all, the pastrami sandwich (55th Street on the menu) was just wrong. Overly buttered bread, sweet and rich cole slaw that was only on half of the sandwich, and honestly good pastrami meat. However, no spicy mustard flavor despite it being on the sandwich, which is disappointing and crucial! The flavor of butter/oil from the bread simply overwhelmed the sandwich, and the sweet/creamy slaw just really threw a wrench in the entire thing. The bistro fries came out lukewarm, and not a flavor that I prefer. Wish I just stuck to the apps. And did I already mention we all got sick? I want to give 1 star, but Daniel and the apps were worth an extra star of their own. We won't go back. It's for wine drinkers and people who enjoyed the original Rusteak (which I didn't care for either). One and done.

I was dissatisfied with the customer service and the wings. I asked for them to be crispy and the young lady that was taking my order said she recorded my request but I don't think she did.

They are teens but it's time to grow up and take something seriously for once. Our drinks were good (we ordered Halloween drinks not pictured) and other fried apps were good. I'd go here again but I will definitely skip the wings. We went on a Saturday evening. It wasn't very busy but the customer service could have been better. They had good music playing. I'd say this is a good place to host a bday party.
