    Beijing Bikini

    We came in for some bites and drinks and had a great experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bar is beautiful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was amazing! So friendly and attentive. I loved the soft pretzel bites with pimento cheese. It's a great dish to share. For my drink, I got the Beijing Bikini. It was pretty and delicious. My girlfriends all love the Day Dreamer and order it every time. They all got curly fries and loved those as well. One of my friends didn't like her cocktail and they enthusiastically switched it out for something she loved. Another one of my friends doesn't drink and didn't like the sound of the only mocktail on the menu. They were kind enough to create one for her. They made her a delicious NA drink with a flower. We really appreciated the extra effort to accommodate her. We love The Courtesy!

    The Courtesy is one of the oldest Instagramable bars in Orlando. It took me a while to finally go, but I did. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a Friday around 6 p.m., and it was already packed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was glad to see there was parking in the back when I arrived, always an important factor these days in Orlando, which keeps getting busier and busier. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bar has cozy lighting, and the Halloween décor was spectacular.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Worth a visit to The Courtesy just for that. The bar specializes in cocktails, and their Halloween cocktail menu was long and creative. That said, since I wasn't really in the mood for a cocktail, I ordered a glass of white wine instead. The appetizers, however, aren't as inventive. We ordered curly fries, Brussels sprouts, and the smash burger. The latter was a bit of a disappointment: the patties were thin, overcooked, and almost tasted like a frozen burger. The other two were good, with the sprouts being my favorite. I plan to go back for one of their cocktails with those long descriptions; maybe I'll just pick the one with the longest description and see how it goes.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]My book group came here during their Halloween-themed period and we had a great time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They must be doing something right here because there was a line forming outside before they opened![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We all tried some of their Halloween-themed food and cocktails and everything was 10 out of 10. I do think the cocktails were a smidge overpriced in some cases, considering how the glass was 90% ice and 10% cocktail. That being said, good cocktails are always worth the money. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor inside was maximalist Halloween fun and well done.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's so nice to see establishments really "get into it" instead of just tossing up some Spirit Halloween crap. This was my first visit here and I'm looking forward to coming back. Hopefully they do great themes for other holidays too. Considering the location, size, and popularity, reservations are strongly suggested. Check it out and let us know what you think!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service is fantastic, they take walkups and it's such a picturesque type of place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor is so good for Halloween and Christmas![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You can buy the glassware to take home! I love this place ! The food is real good too do it! Go

    I absolutely love the pop-up events that happen during spooky season and the holidays! I've been to Miracle on Orange (their Christmas pop-up) before and had an amazing time, so I was really excited to finally experience Nightmare on Orange this year. The bar is completely transformed into a spooky empire with incredible themed decor and custom drinks to match the vibe. It can be tough to get in, so I highly recommend making a reservation. I booked one for my birthday with friends and the process was super easy. Once seated, we took our time going through the menu because everything sounded so creative and fun. The drinks are beautifully presented. They are spooky, detailed, and Instagram-worthy. The wait for our drinks was a bit long, but we were taking our time choosing, so it wasn't a big deal. The one downside: our server didn't seem very familiar with the drinks, which was surprising for such a small, specialty menu. My friend is vegan and double-checked before ordering. She told him the Bite of the Shinigami was safe, but it arrived with a donut on top and a creamy texture that turned out to contain egg. Definitely not vegan. The manager tried to fix it by saying we could just remove the donut, but another employee quickly corrected that. The manager did make things right in the end, but it was still disappointing for our friend. On the plus side, the drink was delicious, just not vegan-friendly. I ordered the Bernie Lomax Reviver. This drink was spooky, flavorful, and so fun! My friends tried the Phoenician Scream, which had a Ghostface-inspired look. We also did the Trick or Treat shots for my birthday and let's just say if you like Rumple Minze, you'll enjoy the "Trick." Personally, I was not a fan, but it lived up to its name! Overall, we had a great time. The atmosphere and decorations are amazing, and the drinks are unique and visually stunning. They are a bit pricey, but honestly, it's all about the experience. I'll definitely be back for Miracle on Orange this holiday season. I just hope next time the staff are a little more knowledgeable about the menu. When guests ask for recommendations, "they're all good" doesn't quite cut it at this price point.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Courtesy is a cute cocktail bar, though this is my first time ever here and it's specifically because I LOVE christmas so much and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to experience the holiday greatness this place offers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]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 ![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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!

    Miracle on Orange at The Courtesy is an EXPERIENCE. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While you may think Christmas exploded at The Courtesy it is by design. From the abundant Holiday decor to the spirited atmosphere. This place screams the holiday season is HERE.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The bartenders are fun and friendly. The cocktails are to theme. It's recommended that for larger parties you make a reservation, if just two in your party you may luck out if you get there early. Parking is behind the building and street parking is also available. BTW, they also have wonderfully smelling bites to enjoy! Drink responsibly.....cheers!

    After being told these were the best drinks in Orlando from my friend out of town, I decided to FINALLY make the trip over to the Courtesy for their Nightmare in Orange event! We were able to be sat right away at the bar on a Tuesday evening. The definitely went all out with the decor and ambiance- go figure why it's the best Halloween pop-up bar in Orlando. Our first drinks were the Bite of the Shinigami and Phoenician Scream. Cleverly themed, amazingly tasty. For the second, we decided on the milk punch option and oh my god??? BEST milk punch ever. I am a SUCKER for a good milk punch and their's hit the spot. Our service was amazing as well. Shout out to Tracy for bringing some amazing energy to the place. Looking forward to being back for their normal operations as well, if I don't make another stop back for that milk punch.

    Hands down one of the best cocktail bars in Central Florida. The Courtesy Cocktail Bar in Winter Park is an absolute gem. The bartenders here are incredible. Seriously, they can make any cocktail you throw at them, and somehow make it better than you imagined. The creativity behind the bar is unmatched. Their menu is always changing, so there's something new and exciting every time I visit. Seasonal themes are a blast. They go all out for Halloween and Christmas, which makes the whole experience even more special. The food is just as good as the drinks. I highly recommend the slider trio. It's the perfect pairing with any cocktail and always hits the spot. If you're lucky enough to book one of their cocktail classes on a Saturday afternoon, do it. They're super fun, well-organized, and you actually learn a lot. Favorite drink that's regularly on the menu is the Deku Tree, unbelievably good. I've been multiple times now and haven't had a single bad experience. If you're into quality cocktails, a fun vibe, and great food, this is your place.

    I wandered into The Courtesy in Winter Park and immediately thought, "Ah, this is where stylish people come to pretend they understand mixology." [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place looked fantastic -- Halloween theme on point without feeling like a Spirit Store exploded. Dim lighting, cool crowd, and bartenders who shake a cocktail like it's an Olympic event.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Now, the drinks -- wow. These things were beautiful. I'm talking runway-ready beverages. Smoke, color, presentation -- the kind of drinks you take a photo of before you even think about sipping. Then I took that first sip... and realized it was the supermodel of cocktails: stunning to look at, but a little bland in conversation. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Still, the atmosphere was great, the service smooth, and it's clearly the kind of spot that knows its aesthetic and leans into it hard.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So while my taste buds were hoping for a bit more excitement, my Instagram was thrilled. [[HIGHLIGHT]]All in all -- a classy, clever bar where the drinks look like magic tricks and the vibe makes up for what the flavor lacks.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'd absolutely go back... maybe just bring my own simple whiskey next time.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love this place, we come year round, but during Christmas it is definitely something special.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I have to shout out their smash burgers!! One of my favorite smashburgers in Orlando. Last year (2024 Christmas) they had a minty creamy drink that they did not have this Christmas PLEASE BRING IT BACK!

    First time visiting for the Miracle on Orange Christmas pop up. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The theming throughout the bar is spot on and super cute.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They unfortunately don't take reservations for small groups so we had to wait about 30 minutes for 2. [[HIGHLIGHT]]But they do have a small bar outside for those that want a drink why you wait.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the candy cane lane drink and it was pretty good but a little pricey for the size. Overall I enjoyed the experience and glad that I finally got to check it out!

    Showing off my Scream cocktail with my friend

    Always love to have festive drinks for the fall season and The Courtesy delivered! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Made a reservation for a birthday event for my bestie because we wanted an atmospheric themed spot with fun drinks for Halloween festivities after we had dinner nearby.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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! [[HIGHLIGHT]]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![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Do they have matchbooks here?

    I did not see any. But I am not a smoker so was not looking for any. Sorry I could not be more helpful. Worth a visit to see.

However, it was pretty small for 13 dollars (even though the menu looked to be 12 dollars instead). For the party, we had a charcuterie board with various crackers, cheeses, and meats. They were in high quality as the meats had great flavor and right amount of salt. The cheese had the sharp flavor, and I loved the wheat flavor of the crackers. I didn't buy any other food or drinks over there, but I did notice that the prices were quite expensive for the portions. One of the guest mentioned that her glass of club soda was 8 dollars! That's quite expensive, even in the Winter Park area. The staff were friendly and attentive, and went above and beyond to give my friend a great birthday. The atmosphere looks like an upscale executive lounge with chillaxin music and artsy paintings that looks like you can buy. I though wonder why the eyes were red out in almost all of the paintings. I enjoyed the food and drinks at this lounge, but found the prices to be pretty high for the portions. It's located next to Jala, a new Indian restaurant that opened. Parking is free, and there is a public parking lot close by. I would come back again with my colleagues if we do want to do light snacks and drinks after work. Overall: B

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.

    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

However, we initially entered to get a picture in the photobooth for our friends birthday. There was no one at the door checking IDs. After we all piled into the photobooth, someone walked up and asked for our IDs. He wanted us to exit the booth to get them. Eventually said ok because we had already paid and on a timer. But he was very impatient. Let me add that there was not a single person in the entire place. NO ONE. Let me also add that almost our entire group is almost 40. So we're obv not underage. With the way he approached us and was completely impatient, we were a little turned off and left. Which lost them money on our entire group. He followed us out the door as we left. It was a weird experience especially when there was literally no one else in there. The music was good but I doubt and of us will to back based on that experience alone.

    What a terrific spot!! Great music and fabulous food!!…read more Jazz Tasting is one of a kind. A place for listening to great jazz music and tasty food. We went on a Thursday and didn't realize its ladies night AND its throwback Thursday. All the music was from 60/70/80/90 and jazzified The food was on point! Crostini appetizer and the bang bang shrooms and just wow what flavor and so many meaty mushrooms We also tried the shrimp & grits which was creamy and large shrimp with a bayoo flavor to it. The band playing was really great sound, vocals and amazing artist. We'll definitely be going back to check out more music and food! The venue isn't huge, which is nice.

They now participate with the In Kind app where you can get discounts and specials too. Their Happy Hour has lots of "small" bites that aren't small. Happy Hour is from 5:00 - 7:00. The music starts at 6:30. We ordered the wagyu beef sliders and they were so packed with flavor. Excellent choice. We also ordered the calamari--another great choice. Finally we got the French Onion Soup off the main menu. It was the best I've ever had. It had the right amount of bread with cheese to go with every bite of the onions and broth. Declicious. And it was steaming hot! We stayed long enough to have room for dessert and we are glad we did. The carrot cake was huge and moist with a not too sweet cream cheese frosting. Also--no raisins. This is one of the best date night spots in town. You'll feel like you're in a big city jazz bar. The talent is incredible!
