[[HIGHLIGHT]]We love this cocktail bar! The ambiance and drinks are on point, and the service is pretty good too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I love the vibe and knowledge of the staff. They seem to put a lot of effort into their craft. If you can't find something on the menu you like, just give them an idea of what you're looking for, and they will curate a drink for you. They also offer fun themed events like The Derby, Halloween, and Christmas where they go all out... have yet to try the holiday ones, but it's on our list :) We've tried their cocktail making class, and that was a ton of fun! So yes, we're fans and can't wait to bring more friends with us in the near future. Cheers! read more

I went for Happy Hour and it was my first time there. All of the bartenders are phenomenal and super fun and friendly. It wasn't very crowded when I was there which was nice. I started with the Espresso Martini one of my go to's. It was nice and frothy on the top and the right balance was drink and espresso. My second drink was the Amaretto Sour. Also, fresh and delicious and beautifully presented. I got the chips and dip and the crispy brussel sprouts. The onion dip was so good paired with the chips and the brussels were a good blend of sweet and tart and crispy. Both portions were large. They also were serving Swine and Sons hot dogs as an option as well. A solid happy hour location and they decorate for the holidays as well. read more

I always love visiting the Courtesy. This is the first time I have been in here when not holiday themed and I was still impressed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was so cozy and rustic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The drinks were strong and flavorful. Our server was very knowledgeable and let us even sample a few things. I got the KAA and it is strong and very flavorful. The happy hour is very affordable and we will definitely be back to try more! read more

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! read more

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. read more

[[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! read more

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. read more

[[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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

The Courtesy - The Phoenician Scream - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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]] read more

Another amazing year at Nightmare on Orange! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The endless spooky vibes are immaculate as with every year.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff themselves decorate the entire bar themselves and purchase all the drink ware cups.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They also create the drinks themselves in a personal touch to each of them. Every drink is amazing you seriously cannot go wrong. All the food is made in partnership with Ravenous Pig and locally sourced so it is all amazing. Hooker gave us an run down of all the drinks and the inspirations behind them which made them all the better. Definitely ask about that when you're there as it's fascinating. I recommend the Brussels sprouts and the hot honey they are tossed in is house made and incredible. As soon as reservations open we are on that phone making a plan as we have the best time with amazing food, incredible drinks and laughs to fill the two hour limit you have for your reservation. read more

My wife surprised me with tickets to a cocktail making class at The Courtesy, and we had an absolute blast! The class was fun, interactive, and really well-run, a perfect mix of education and entertainment, with delicious drinks, of course! After the class, we stuck around for one more drink and a couple of bites. The vibe is chill yet elevated, and the staff really knows their craft. Seriously, these are some of the best mixologists in Orlando, every drink was creative, balanced, and beautifully presented. If you have a sweet tooth, ask if they have the oatmeal cream pie, it's a hidden gem on the menu and totally worth it. We highly recommend stopping in for a drink, or better yet, booking the cocktail class when it's available! read more

I was absolutely blown away by these creative cocktails. Let me start at the beginning, we walked in and were immediately greeted. There was no wait so we sat down immediately at a table. There were two servers walking around to ask if we needed anything, which provided constant attention to our water and drinks. I needed some time to decide on the menu, the cocktails are just so unique. We each got one of the rotating cocktails - the Midsommar Trance and A Lack of Color. When I say A Lack of Color was probably one of the most (unexpected I'll admit) delicious cocktails I've had. Amazing. Perfectly balanced. I will be back. read more

By far my favorite bar in Orlando! The drinks are always amazing, with fun seasonal rotations that keep things changing . The bartenders are incredible attentive, friendly, and always on top of their game. The bar has a speakeasy vibe to it . They also serve food from Seine and Sons, which is consistently excellent. I recently went during their Halloween pop-up, and every cocktail I tried was spot-on. No regrets ever coming here, and I'm always looking forward to my next visit! read more

The Courtesy is hands down one of our favorite spots in town! It's such a cool, moody, and true cocktail bar. The kind of place where every drink feels special. I always love trying one of their creative specialty cocktails, but honestly, they can make anything you want and nail it every time (they are all about consistency here). My husband and I love bringing friends here when they visit, but this time we decided to do something different and signed up for one of their cocktail making classes, and it was an absolute blast! The instructors were knowledgeable, fun, and super engaging, and all of our drinks came out looking and tasting totally professional. It was such a fun experience, and definitely something we'd do again. After class, we stayed for another round and grabbed a bite because once you're there, it's hard to leave! Can't wait to book another class once the cocktail menu changes. Highly recommend for locals and visitors alike! read more

Definitely a place to stop by and see their detailed halloween decor and have one of their special halloween drinks. I got the matcha coquito. I love it, one of the best drinks I ever had.

The Courtesy is an awesome spot hidden behind a few other gems in Winter Park. The space is quite small, but the ambiance is gigantic. We went on their first night of the holiday overlay and it was fantastic - probably over the top, but worth it. Not only do they have a solid decor package, but they also have themed drinks and a solid staff. The themed drink menu was small, but had a plethora of options. Unfortunately, I didn't 100% love my drink, but I'm not sure if that was the drink or the pairing with the food. Either way, I think it would be worthwhile to try again. For food, we absolutely loved the sprouts, they had so much flavor and were quite different than the normal presentation. Those will now be on the must-list for this spot. I also loved the burger; nothing too over the top, but the meat was good, the bread was excellent, and the sauce wasn't overpowering. For a small menu, my two items were beyond compare. read more
