    This is definitely a men's bar. They were having trivia night and all the tables were full. They had a few drink specials and a large size drink menu. The drink I ordered was new but it was super watered down. Like a hint of flavor, couldn't tell you what, a dab of tequila and water. Maybe since they were more of a beer place cause I ordered a cocktail. The tables were sticky and when I went to wipe them the napkins were black we had to ask for napkins and we got coasters half way thru our drinks. I'm sure it's a great neighborhood bar but just not for me

    Potstickers.

    Great place to go for a first date or just to have a bit. Service is great. Food is fresh and hot. Clean, not to hot not to cold. For sure a place to go to for game day.

    If you are going for drinks or trivia this place is legit. Otherwise save your money the food is absolute trash. I don't know how you make fries taste disgusting but they succeeded. Ate one bite of the chicken and gave up. Service is prompt. The place is a chill

    Beers: They have a wide variety of beers. I love sour beers, so my husband and I ordered three beers. They were good, not my favorites, but still good. Service: The service was average. The waitress wasn't very friendly, and there wasn't much guidance on the beers we could try. We had to ask her what she could recommend based on our preferences, and she wasn't very helpful. Ambience: The place is nice.

    If you're a Pumpkin Spice lover you HAVE to go try the cider at Brass Tap. Make sure you ask for the cinnamon sugar rim! :D

    Met a friend for drinks and appetizers. I ended up ordering drinks not on the happy hour menu, listed as specials/seasonals, and they were delicious. The first was a pumpkin espresso martini (pictured) and the second was a lemon cookie martini. My friend had a watermelon paloma (also pictured)and she loved it and said it tasted like a jolly rancher. I think it was the drink of the week. We split the pizza and onion rings from the happy hour menu and they were very sharable.Our server was awesome- attentive, friendly and though he said he was new, was able to answer any questions we had. Will visit again

    Happy Hour burger and fries
    Marcella M.

    My family and I came here for happy hour one day. I have heard great things about this place and I have been wanting to try it for a while. They have a pretty good happy hour with prices ranging from $5 to $11. I had the burger and fries for $11 and the house wine for $6. The burger was cooked perfectly I didn't even have to tell them well done. The meat was fully cooked without being burnt. The white wine was good as well. Definitely no complaints and I will come back with these prices. They have deals all throughout the week as well. It's rare to find a place with good prices and great food this is definitely a gem in Orlando!

    I come here pretty frequently. It's easy to just stop in for a drink or food, but u typically attend for special events. They hold weekly trivia nights and run a monthly book club. The workers are all very kind and the ambiance is friendly. The frequently changing beer selection is what keeps me coming back. I'll try a cocktail every once in a while but I enjoy trying different items in my preferred beer category. The variety in types in both drafts and cans is quite impressive.

    Watermelon-Rita- it is good, slightly sweet Cheese curds with ranch - yum! Ranch is good. House side salad was good My son and hubby liked the food they ordered.

    Brass Tap and The Porch (the breezeway)
    Alex M.

    TL;DR: Great draught AND cocktail selections, pretty good food, friendly and knowledgeable staff (for drink ordering purposes), right next door to Big Bad Wolf BBQ, ample parking, lots of seating (between the inside and outside in the dog-friendly breezeway). I've been coming here from time to time over the past few years, and I've never had a bad experience. The staff can always provide plenty of suggestions if you tell them what kind of drink or flavor palette you're in the mood for. The interior is somewhat limited in size with soft lighting, and it normally isn't too loud for conservation. That being said, if it ever IS too loud for conversation, you have the option to sit outside in the covered breezeway ("The Porch") and Brass Tap staff will happily take your orders out there as well. The breezeway is also dog-friendly in case you want to bring your furry freeloader along. Because of the location of Brass Tap, parking immediately in front of the building is limited, but the parking lot beyond is vast enough that you can always find parking. And now for the most important part of the review: the food and drinks. We've gotten food here a few times and it's actually pretty good, especially for what is primarily a bar. Brass Tap features rotating taps as well as cocktails, and also features seasonal and monthly beers and cocktails. This most recent trip here I ordered the spicy margarita and the Island Rum Old Fashioned. The spicy margarita was good, but not as spicy as I usually prefer (I like my spicy margaritas extra spicy). The Island Rum Old Fashioned was very good and had a definite tiki flavor to it (very sweet and rum-forward). Also worth noting that Brass Tap is conveniently located about 10 feet away from Big Bad Wolf BBQ (just across the breezeway), so if you're in the mood for BBQ instead of bar food, you can order some BBQ and then eat and order drinks at Brass Tap. Brass Tap is definitely worth checking out in you're in the area and need refreshments before and/or after a movie!

    Outside seating area
    Katie M.

    I have been to Brass Tap a few times now; they have a pretty vast craft beer selection. One thing I love is that they will let you try samples of pretty much whatever draft beers you want to try before making a decision. Their staff has always been super friendly and attentive as well and helpful with recommendations. There is indoor and bar seating, as well as a large outside seating area that is also shared with Bad Wolf Brews and BBQ next door. The outdoor seating is great - it's covered and dog friendly! If you're a sports fan, they also have a ton of TVs with different games on. We haven't been on nights with other activities yet, but they also advertise trivia, live music, etc on certain nights as well. This trip we just got a few cocktails - would definitely recommend their seasonal selections that they just post on the chalkboard inside. Those have always been really good! Overall a chill low-fuss spot for a beer, cocktail, or food. We didn't get any food this time around but have tried a few of the appetizers in the past and liked them. They also have happy hour on weeknights!

    Updated menu August 2025; so many choices from the menu with good reviews. The service was good even with super busy tables and one server

    Updated menu August 2025; Service was pretty decent with a Saturday rush lunch hour and plenty of busy tables and one server. Able to sample draft beers and humble service

    Happy Hour Burger + Raspberry Lemon Drop
    Victor B.

    While the happy hour is such a great deal that makes me want to come back forever, the service could use a lot if TLC. My server was lacking knowledge in just about everything related to the restaurant, which I normally don't care about, but you should know whats in a drink or meal? I like the vibe of the restaurant and they definitely played great music so I would return.

    What a flight!

The beer selection is definitely buried, but they do carry a high selection of sours. My husband tried the priest and the Matador, which is their Vienna lager. He really enjoyed it! Said that it wasn't too hoppy and definitely was an easy drink especially if you want an Amber ale and they're out of there at 407.

It is a super light beer, and he said he definitely got the salt within the first sip of it with a little hint of the lime on the back end. I started with the daydream tangerine, which is a wheat ale with tangerines. Pretty easy drinking and very similar to a blue moon.

    I highly recommend Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurant especially if you enjoy wine! One tip I always…read moregive people is to make reservations, as it can get pretty busy. The good thing is there's plenty of free parking, which makes visiting super convenient. I'm a Wine Club member, which is definitely worth it if you go often. Members receive two bottles of wine and two tastings each month, and there are three different membership tiers depending on how much wine you want. The club also comes with a lot of extra perks, which makes the experience even better. My coworker and I recently decided to go for happy hour (Monday-Friday from 3:00-5:30 PM). Since we're both wine club members, we wanted to do our wine tasting before our dinner reservation. I definitely recommend getting there earlier in the afternoon if you plan to taste. We arrived around 2 PM, and the tasting area wasn't packed yet, which made the experience much more enjoyable. If you plan to do the tasting, I suggest setting aside about an hour so you can really enjoy it without feeling rushed. After our tasting, we headed to our table for our reservation and ordered a few items from the happy hour menu while continuing the wine fun. One thing we learned for next time: the sangria flight during happy hour is only $17, and it's perfect for sharing especially after you've already done a full tasting! Overall, Cooper's Hawk is a great spot for gatherings, date nights, or even meeting up with coworkers for happy hour. The atmosphere is lively, the wine selection is great, and the wine club perks make the experience even more fun.

It seemed like it shrunk a little and had a lot of sauce on it. Tasted different than prior times but still tasty. For my birthday (with being part of the wine club), they served me a warm salted caramel cream brûlée. It was delicious! We were so excited that I forgot to take a picture. They usually bring out chocolate covered strawberries or truffles. This crème brûlée was better!

I ordered the wings as an appetizer. They came out super fast but they were dry and lacking in sauce. I ordered the Classic burger. It was lacking in flavor as if it had no salt or seasoning on it and the fries were soggy and rubbery at the same time with no flavor. My parter had the chicken (fried) wrap and it was also soggy and lacking flavor. If you are looking for tavern food, just go to ale house around the corner or chickfila for a chicken wrap.
