I love me a no frills bar with personality and quirky concepts that makes it its own place. Walking in, you'll see a combination of local artists artwork for sale with a random assortment of fun tchotchkes of different media (I couldn't even count how David Hyde Pierce cutouts existed throughout). Whenever you order a drink, the bartender will offer you a complimentary shot of sake, which is random but fun. Our friend told us about this bar years ago because they have a real life dating profile binder where people can submit their own questionnaire about what they're looking for in a dating partner. More than half of their cocktail options are canned, so be mindful of reading the menu before ordering. Great price for some great fun! read more

Small bar but very charming. Good selection of beer and cocktails. The bar cat was a nice touch. I came during a event hosted by my teacher's union. Good vibes all around. Bartender was nice and friendly. read more

Good selection of beer. We did not order food. Came in on a weekend, and they always had the locals playing some games, some trivia, and if you make it on a Friday night, they usually have music. It's a hip place with a good vibe. Bartenders, friendly and engaging. read more

Had a great time at The Falcon, a local and cozy space in Thornton Park's downtown Orlando. They had a deejay spinning some old school house this night and apparently have different themed parties throughout the week. There isn't a dress code, but we were celebrating the holidays and it was New Year's Eve so we broke out some threads and were hitting our favorite loval places to share the love. read more

We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon for one of the pop up flea market events. They were set up outside of the falcon. There was about maybe 5 vendors. We went inside to check out the place and have a drink. $3 bloody Mary's on sundays. Not sure if Sunday only. The bartender was pretty cool and chatty. We also go 2 free sake shots with purchase of drink. That was awesome. Seems like a nice hipster place to hang out. read more

Amazing local hot spot! They have great local brews and a fantastic atmosphere with local artists on the walls. So no lie our favorite part is the pet friendly aspect- Without asking the bartender brought us a dog water bowl (not the cheap kind- a metal bowl with non- slip bottom) filled with cool water and a doggie treat when when we got here. Absolutely make this a stop if you are in the Thornton Park Area. read more

We came here for the Drunk Spelling Bee and had a great time. This place is beer and wine only, which meant wine for me. Their wine selection is kind of "meh," I'd say. The reds we had weren't great, but they were affordable! They also have sake shots, which were on the sweet side and not bad. The Falcon has lots of art on the walls and is your typical quirky Thornton Park establishment, with plenty of social events, like the Drunk Spelling Bee, throughout the month. I would love to see them get their liquor license and expand into even more events. read more

The Falcon is one of the reasons that Orlando feels like home to me! This bar has something to bring the community together almost every night of the week! I have met some of my best friends from their weekly Monday night run club (free to join, discounted drafts, and raffles - a fun time!). Tuesdays they have open mic night (music or comedy). Wednesdays they have discounted tall boys. Thursdays are ladies night (tarot card readings with discounted wine & champagne). Fridays/weekends have different events going with music, market vendors, or art. They regularly debut local artists work! While they only have wine and beer, they have a wide selection and always bringing fun and interesting selections! The bartenders each have their own vibes and treat patrons like they belong - no matter what! read more

You all know I am a huge fan of Mother Falcon so you know I have to love me their newest adventure: The Falcon! What do I love about Melissa and John? They get it. They get all of it. They opened their t-shirt shop to garner attention to a local community and took it above and beyond with all the local art support they are continually giving. They are heavily involved with Thornton Park as a whole and you can really feel the love they have for this city in their businesses. So, their new addition, which is right next to Mother Falcon is - The Falcon Bar & Gallery, an independent and cutting edge experience in the arts in a gallery and bar setting. Yes, the first room is set up for a gallery event and spots for entertainment and DJs. Then the bar area is your spot to sit back and relax with some wine or craft beers... and cider! This place is awesome, extremely chill and has some dope art. You must stop in and check it out. The only downside I experienced was 1 bathroom so there was a bit of a wait, but I just drank while I waited =) I am pretty sure this is going to be my go-to stop when I need to chill or grab a nice cold one and want to meet some really cool people. It's open so go check it out!!! read more

I live close to the falcon and it has become my favorite spot. It's always low key and the bartenders are fantastic. Can't recommend this place enough read more

My husband and I went during a week night to check out the open mic. The place was average, not too big or small. There was a good selection of beer but not much on the non alcoholic end. The area/stage was located at an awkward angle near the entrance but if you were seated at a table you needed to look to your right. There was nothing really special about the joint. read more

I like this place! Went for the first time Sunday afternoon for some mimosas. It wasn't busy at all but I can imagine it gets busy being in Thornton Park on other nights. It's really dark, but I love the atmosphere. There's a lot of seating - bar and couches and stuff. You can even sit outside if you'd like. I hear it's dog friendly too...? I didn't bring a dog so I'm not sure but that would make it even better. The only drinks I had were mimosas (hard to mess up) and a Bloody Mary - it was my first time having one ever, and honestly if they're supposed to taste like cold tomato soup and celery, it wasn't too bad. I never expected myself to be a savory drink person, but maybe just maybe. The bartender was really nice and tentative and answered all of our questions, no matter how silly (referring to the Bloody Mary). She was super sweet. I wish I remembered her name! We were also served goldfish. Yes. Goldfish crackers. Winning. I'll be back. For sure. read more

This place is a little-known gem of Thornton Park! The rotating drafts are kept interesting and they are plenty of good bottle and can options, including non-alcoholic choices. I make it a point to stop in whenever I find myself on the east side of Lake Eola. Give The Falcon a try! read more

What a great place to catch a drink with friends and have a good time. So I came here for a popular event, which is called the "Drunk Spelling Bee." It was great to witness people trying to spell and drink at the same time. They have a bunch of cool art work splattered everywhere. They also have a lovely photo booth located in the back of the bar. This place literally screams out awesome vibes. read more

The best part about the Falcon is that there's always something to do and see here. The art is rotating and top notch local artists, you're bound to love it every time. There's only two Tvs so not too distracting, casual indie rock during the day, more lively in the evening. The craft beer and wine menu is always on point with a free sake shot with every drink order, who doesn't love that? Today they had the Bully Up Rescue with adorable dogs to play with, cuddle and even adopt if it's right for you! This made our day even better, a mimosa and sweet pup to pet. The dress is very however you are, you're welcome. It's the last spot (next to Truck Stop) so it could easily be the first or last stop on your way around the Thornton Park bar crawl so either way there's no reason to pass by on your night or weekend day out! read more

The Falcon - Bars Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I have been here twice now. On a super packed Saturday night and also on a very chill Wednesday evening. The bartenders are very nice! I love all the art on the walls that are for sale by local artists. The place is dark inside with lots of places to sit. I love that they are located in the lovely Thornton Park area. The Wednesday that I went there was hip hop music playing the entire time and on the Saturday night I went there was a DJ playing different types of music. On the Saturday night that I went I got to dance with some friends in the open area at the front which was a lot of fun. I went on the Wednesday night specifically to eat at the food truck that was there called Bem Bom that serves Portuguese food. I wanted to eat some food and grab a couple of beers here. Unfortunately, they were out of about four beers that I wanted. They have some good craft beers though if you are lucky enough to find them in stock. They also have some beers on draft but not many. read more

This is one of my favorite bars in/around Thornton Park. I've been a total of maybe only 10-12 times, but it didn't take more than a few visits before it became one of my favorites. I found it to be instantly likable. I think that my favorite night to be here is on Fridays, when some modern electronic/gothic music is played. I really like most of it. I usually find myself here on other random weeknights and sometimes on Sundays. There usually is great music here and sometimes DJs who play different genres of music. It can range from beats/etc. to "emo" stuff. Maybe the best time I've had here was either earlier this year or late in 2011 (though probably the former) when an employee played a ton of "emo" and "indie" music for a few hours via his laptop. I heard a lot of stuff that I really liked & that I didn't know before as well as plenty of old favorites. There's ample seating along the bar as well as outside. The place, to me, appears to be clean and well-kept. The beer selection here is pretty good and the bar sometimes, if not always, offers specials. I've been here a few times when PBR and other beers have cost less than they usually do, though I can't remember which day it is that PBR costs less. The best thing to do is to check out The Falcon's Facebook page, which is updated regularly, if not daily, and provides the latest news. As Elizabeth F. mentioned, occasionally a food truck can be seen outside of The Falcon. I believe that the Fish Out of Water truck is there on Thursdays (she mentioned that, too; check the FB account to make sure the day still is correct). In the past, La Empanada has been outside of The Falcon, though I believe that was on Sunday mornings. I'm not sure if that still goes on, though. If you're into this sort of thing, check out Mother Falcon next door, too. You can create custom t-shirts there, and that shop is run by the same owners of The Falcon. I highly recommend a trip to both! read more

This bar is awesome! I stopped in one Saturday night thinking I was only going to stick around for one drink. I stepped in around 11PM... and ended up staying until closing! First off, the décor is way awesome. Why? Because they have paintings up on the walls everywhere which you can actually buy. They have an awesome deer head on the wall (I love deer heads. They remind me of where I grew up- Vermont) and they have this awesome photo booth which the pictures actually print out with good quality. The selection of drinks was great- crafts beers galore! The bartenders were super nice. and hey, if you are single, they have a Singles board also, where you take a picture of yourself in the photo booth, attach it to a questionnaire, and then tack it on the bulletin board. Cute concept. Awesome place. I will be back! read more

Great corner location in Thornton Park. Great selection of libations for any palate. I'm a beer drinker and the selection will keep me coming back for awhile. I love the darker colors of the interior. Very friendly informed ownership and staff. My new fave. read more

Always a nice atmosphere and good selection of beers. Never crazy or boisterous, so a good place for a date night. Love their weekly Goth nights, too. read more

Cool little bar in Thornton Park with a good selection of beers and local art on the walls. Tuesday there is open mic night and Thursday is ladies night, if you are looking for something fun to do besides the usual bar hop. Good beverage selection but no food so keep that in mind. Plenty of food within walking distance like Dexter's or Anthony's Pizza when you're beer belly starts to grumble for carbs. They also have a photo booth--fun! Nice little spot that is worth at least a stop during your unofficial bar crawl this weekend. Good place to start or end the night as it is one of the last bars on the main drag of Thornton. read more

Tasty brews, they always mix it up and keep it interesting. Great art shows and events.

I stopped in to see their new space for the Replicated art show this Saturday night and I absolutely love what they've done. The space is set up with the gallery/DJ in front and a long, cozy bar in the back. Good wine and craft beer choices, good tunes and a really nice vibe - hip but still laid-back. AND, their bartenders are the ones who caught the (alleged) "Thornton Park flasher" creepster... how can you not love 'em for getting that dude off the street?? ;) read more

I totally thought I had written a review for this place before. I even went and looked at Mother Falcon to see if I messed up and put it there. But it would seem that I have not. I think what's awesome about this bar is how much it is a staple in Thorton Park. They are always a part of all the events there. The artwork is all original and can be printed on a shirt at Mother Falcon next door. The work is themed. Once I went and it was artwork inspired by the movie Alien and this most recent time was artwork by The Shining. Sometimes the bar snacks are Goldfishes. Love them. The bathroom is just a one stall, but the bar isn't super huge so it's enough. read more

I end up going here about once a week. Its a nice change of scenery in the thorton park area and a nice spot to hang out with friends listen to a variety of music depending on the day. I'm a pretty big fan of most nights except friday nights which is Uberbahn night. The decor on the wall changes every few weeks and they often have different art shows for local artists going on. read more

The Falcon - They always have A good cider on draft. - Bars Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Great spot if you want a good beer or glass of wine, in a casual relaxing environment. I have been here twice now, and I like that the bartenders are laid back, and you can actually talk to people without having to shout. There was a band this past time, but they played one song and quit... not sure what that was about. There is also lots of different artwork around the bar. I love that they showcase local talent. You can order food from Dexter's across the street, and they are in a great location if you are looking to hop around, with Graffiti Junktion across the street, and other various food and drink spots. My friend and I left deciding we want to make this place our regular spot. read more

I came in - I think it was on a Friday - at the end of happy hour, about 7 or 8. I like the place. The atmosphere is pretty cool. The art is good. The drink selection is good (they had a few ciders that were acceptable, and they had Mexican Coke on the menu, although it wasn't in stock). They didn't have a lot of taps, but they had a lot of bottles that I would be interested in trying. You know the beer selection is good when there are some that I would actually drink. Specifically - they have the Duchess! That's the best beer around, IMHO. I'm sure it was pricey - it's like $5 in the store - but worth it. I got a chance to recommend it to someone as a group came in a little while before we left. The bartender at the time seemed really cool. My lady and her had a chat. She seemed perfect for the part if she were casted for a film. Just the right hair and a few tats, very chill, perfect! I like the recessed seating in the walls. We sat at the bar, so I can't say how comfy it was, though. It was well put together. The atmosphere was nice and dark and cool. Like I said I liked the art, the overall look was great. If someone was new to Orlando and I brought them there, they would probably think I was cool for doing so. :) I really need to come back - and I will - when it's kickin'. It was a nice quiet place at the time to have a drink, but I need to see it's other side. Cheers! read more

I've only been here twice in the past year and I feel guilty for not stopping by for at least 1 drink more often. The last time I came here was for redemption....after having access to a crappy selection of so called craft beers at another establishment across the way from the Falcon. I was already in a bad mood that day, and getting to sit down in a comfy seat, enjoying a nice quality beer here eased my mood. I had to be someplace else that night, but I really wanted to stay here and just relax with my beer and watch whatever eclectic movie they had playing, and listening to some upbeat loungy music playing. This night was halloween and the bartender was friendly and offered us some free candy. She joked that she needed more people to take the candy, or she'd eat it all. One other couple had walked in, who seemed down to earth, but at the same time were critiquing their beer selection for the best beer. I remember the guy commenting how the Smashed Pumpkin was a substard Pumpkin beer, which is an option I shared. He seemed interested in the place and in trying some of the other beers I was also interested in. The first time here I was hanging out with friends, who love the place too. Again I could only have 1 beer that night, and enjoyed looking at the art work. The art rotates and seems to have a theme. I guess I'd know more about how often they change it out if I would remember to stop here more often. read more

Favorite place ever on Washington Street in Thornton park. Awesome drafts, staff and photoboothing!! They welcome dogs and even have a cat designated nite. How cute? Amazingly!!! Also, you can watch the walking dead when the seasons running and they also have movie nights. Score, score across the board!!! read more

The Falcon - Repin' hard - Bars Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I've heard nothing but great things about this place but then I went there last night and it was awful. Positives: Awesome design inside and great beers Negatives: First, they have no water. They give you a glass to go fill up water by yourself. I was drinking Dog Fish 90 mins, thats a strong beer so I wanted a water and that was insane that I had to get it myself. They didnt even have bottle water to purchase. Second, there were about 40 people standing outside all smoking and the bartender came up to a member in our group and asked him to stand away from the door because he was smoking a cigar and he could smell it inside. Really? Third, the bartenders weren't overly friendly for a neighborhood bar. Im used to the service at places like Burtons, and even Graffiti. They treat their customers like friends. Fourth, ONE uni-sex bathroom. WOW not a good combo with people drinking. Im hoping I just had a bad experience and am willing to give it another try. read more

I was really not impressed by this place. Maybe I'm not cool enough to appreciate the downer music and lack of people on a Friday night. There were more people smoking outside than there were inside. They seemed like pseudo hipsters. I guess it's just not my scene. read more

It's gone downhill, used to be a cool place to sit back and grab a few drinks with friends. Now it seems that there is always some performer in there. It's a very small, enclosed space so you can't hear the person next to you when there is some random jack-hole rapping along to his I-pod shuffle for 15 straight minutes followed b 5 minutes of plugging his social media. I get it's a dog friendly bar, but I never expected to step in a steaming pile of shit on my way out. If you're looking to quietly brood in a corner and take in the experience of a New York subway station, the Falcon is your go-to bar, otherwise there are plenty of better options. read more

This place is my new favorite. Really great atmosphere, awesome location, and Kirk the bartender is a gentleman and a scholar. I love the craft beer selection, and the prices are beyond reasonable. The David Bowie local artwork leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy! This place is a must go to location of you are in the Thornton park area! read more

I did not say that, so before you call names and belittle paying patrons, recognize who you are talking to. Those ladies left before you came out of the bathroom (that again, you cut in line of ten ladies who were paying at your bar). I only asked if you were really the owner, bc I had never seen an "owner" behave so badly in their own establishment. read more
