SERVICE: 5 FOOD QUALITY: N/A DRINK QUALITY: 5 ORDER TIME: 5 AESTHETICS: 5 NOISE LEVEL: 5 MENU SELECTION: 5 OVERALL EXPERIENCE:5 This place is the most unsuspecting hidden gem that I've never heard anyone ever talk about so I'm gonna boast about it on Yelp. Located in the milk district this little bar is the neighborhood bar. The bar was packed because of the weekend milk mart event. The bartenders were not phased by the massive volume and were fun to talk to. They have so many options of beer and wine to drink or purchase to go. A lot of really rare items you won't find in any grocery store. I love sours and they had two on tap. Both were amazing which had me reminiscing on all the wonderful sour beers I left behind in Michigan. They gave me faith that Florida can produce good sours and quality beer. Overall, this place was the best part of the day. Highly recommend if you're looking for something small and personable with amazing service. Also has an array of eclectic art works which is wonderful. They even have live music on select evenings which really has me ready to go back.

Stamped paper bag & a cherry soda, really good

I was extremely comfortable here. Everyone was friendly. I had a Polar beer in a glass bottle for $3. It was delicious, slightly Malta taste, from South America. It hit the spot. Then I had a cherry soda, also $3, in a glass bottle also. Relaxing bar area. Lots of books to look at, & vhs tapes for sale. Stamped paper bags for your bottle provided also, cute touch. It was fun people watching later sitting outside at some classroom desks.

This is a really cool place that serves as a hub for different community members, you can come here and run into some type of event or meetup, which is great if you're looking for things to explore. The place is very small, a nook, and very intimate. You can sit at the bar and chill with the staff, or sit in a couch and relax. BUT, there is a parking area in the back that is used for events, such as music performances and markets, so there is entertainment in and out. The beers served here are primarily Florida beers, and some are local beers, depending on what's on tap or in the cooler. You got to come here if you want to support your Florida craft beer scene, local groups, and local businesses rather than franchises.

Yesterday after the Holiday Milk Market

Dope spot! Beer and wine only. It's locally owned, and they work the bar...which adds to their character. Book swapping available, they've decorated with tons of nostalgic items and memorabilia. My favorite time to visit is on a Tuesday during tasty - they allow you to sit indoors and do all your munching. Prices are great too... it's small and intimate. It's a homey vibe! Seems like just yesterday this place was Sandwich Bar but 5 years later and the new owners are doing a really great job, love the weekly events and markets. Cheers!

The actual best bar in Orlando. The best Bartenders in Orlando, and the apex of the local scene. Fun events, community, and beer. The single most welcoming space I've been in Orlando. I can't say enough about how incredible this place is.

Good Wheat

Service, Service, Service! It's not everything, but it's damn near close. What stood out to me about The Nook was how friendly and helpful. Mary took the time to show me all of the Wheat beer options they had and explained the breweries behind them. It's kinda small so it's aptly named. It's a good place to grab a cold beer if you're in the area. Tuesdays in the back they have food truck's set up as part of Tasty Takeover, and the Nook is the place to get beer to go with your bao, birria, bowls, burgers or beans.

Such an amazing spot in the Milk District. The owners are very nice and friendly. I love the decorations around the place and it just feels vintage! The drink selection is large, definitely check out the ciders!

What a cozy local little place this is. Starting with the '80s decorations, living room style. Feels like I walked in someone's house. The bartenders were great! The beer selection is pretty nice and the price was great! Their mystery beer deal is super cool!!!

Establishment hosted virtual beer tasting & local distillery from key west Fl to Tallahassee FL each event featured a different approach on flavors of beers. Tonight the focus was presented with special guest from each distillery presenting the flavor of beer. During the pandemic all local businesses needs local support. Expertise sharing knowledge during these tasting shares & sparks interest of wanting to experience going to the distillery all across FL. Always been a huge supporter of local business. Really appreciated this virtual experience. I've taken a few pics & appreciate everyone for making this possible. @beerscouts #craftbeer #craftbeerflorida #craftbeerorlando #paleale #whitbeer #yelporlando #copperale @yelp @bowigens beercompany @islamoradabeer @proofbrewingco @bigstormbrewing @persimmomhollow @thenookrobinson

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

This is a cool place to hang out. The hifi bar. Drinks were an average price…read more There was plenty of seating and a dance floor to get loose if that's your thing. They made sure the air was ln for anticipation of a large crowd. I wish the outdoor space had a better sound system however it backs up to a residential neighborhood ( so let's not disturb the peace). Cute kitschy spot - gives 70s nostalgia The fur on the women's bathroom entrance was interesting

Top of the World Lounge is a villain-themed lounge at the (you guessed it) top of Bay Lake Tower…read morewith views overlooking Magic Kingdom. Getting into the lounge is a bit tough. For starters, the lounge is for DVC members (and their guests) only. If you're lucky enough to be a DVC member, you also have to hope that you either had the common sense to make a reservation in advance or that you go when it's quiet and they can possibly seat you anyway. We went with the second option and only had to wait for about ten minutes before being allowed access. The lounge gives off a ritzy, 1930s/1940s vibe with a massive chandelier and red & black velvet decor. If the creepy child kidnapper from The Rescuers and Jafar and Frollo were to all meet and discuss how to be terrible people over some delicious cocktails, they would do it here. The service at TWL is top-notch, which makes sense since they are catering to some of Disney's biggest fans and most frequent visitors. The menu is small, it is a lounge after all and not a full-service restaurant. There are some incredible drinks and a few appetizers on the menu, plus a modest selection of beer and wine. While the lounge has floor-to-ceiling windows that allow you to see the castle at Magic Kingdom, TWL also has an outdoor, private balcony where you can watch the fireworks and feel the boomies (an official, scientific word) from the show. Reservations to watch the fireworks are not required, but they will verify your DVC membership before being allowed access. And yes, you can get a drink to go from the bar in the lounge and sip it over some fireworks. I've been a DVC member since 2012 and have come to Disney at least 10 times since purchasing. How I neglected to experience this is beyond me. Thankfully the TWL isn't only for Bay Lake Tower guests (aside from 4 nights in the entire calendar year). I would absolutely come back to TWL to watch some fireworks with a world-class experience

Usally accessible to members who are staying at one of the DVC Bay Lake Tower resort. There is a somewhat secret elevator available just off of the lobby and is the only one that goes to the 16th floor

I decided to do my last magical dining for 2026 here. I made a reservation through OpenTable. I…read moredecided to sit at the bar since it was open, and tried the Capari cocktail for 15 dollars. It was literally bitter sweet, with the sweetness coming from the fruits, and the bitterness most likely from the liquor. It was still a good and refreshing drink. For the appetizer, I had to try their unique and popular pork belly s'mores. It looked like a dessert, but a sweet and savory dish. The pork belly was braised nicely and tender, with the marshmallow adding the sweetness. The homemade crackers were very nice, and the jalapeno added a nice kick. The main dish was the bourbon chicken. It was nicely tender and had a hint of sweetness from the bourbon. The rice went well with the chicken, and the broccolini was perfectly grilled. For dessert, the bread pudding with ice cream was a perfect end. Moist and delicious. It was getting full, so I was able to save some and enjoy at home too. The service was attentive with my bartender checking up with me occasionally. They were quite busy, but still friendly. The dining area looked dark and a bit more formal than last time I visited. But still social and relaxing. I didn't get to see the outdoor patio, but it looked nice from the inside. I parked at the UCF/Valencia garage, which was 3 dollars per hour. Sadly, they don't validate parking. I am so happy I ate at the Monroe for my last magical dining. It's been a while since I eaten there, but the food and drinks are still great. I must say the food was definitely high in calories, sugar, and fat, but it was well worth it. It's just that good in a very nice environment. Definitely will come again when I need southern comfort food! Overall: A

The server came around and took our orders, promptly brought our water every time our water was low, and checked in on us. I got the Caesar salad, the Mushroom Stroganoff and the bread pudding. All three were delicious. The salad was straightforward and was exactly what I would expect from a Caesar salad, but the stroganoff was the standout. The pasta was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The only thing I could say that would make it even better was if it was a little less salty. The mushrooms really carried through, the sauce was creamy, and the micro greens helped brighten up the brown color palate. The desert, I love bread puddings and this had a modern twist. It was served as a square, crispy on the outside, like it was deep fried, covered with cinnamon sugar, but still soft on the inside. It was almost like a bread pudding crossed with a churro, which I loved. Highly recommend, I will also say, I love all their restaurants.
