If you're looking for a laid-back spot with a huge drink selection and fun weekly activities,…read moreHourglass is a great local hang. The parking situation isn't the best, there's very limited parking in the front lot of the brewery but there is a lot behind the building if it's full, and it can get full so just be prepared to walk a bit if it's busy. Inside, there's a solid amount of seating with a relaxed, casual vibe. They also have games you can play while hanging out, which makes it a great place to spend a couple hours with friends. What really stands out is the selection. They have a huge variety of beers (something for everyone), plus ciders, non-alcoholic options, and even soda. It's one of those places where everyone in your group will be able to find something they like. They don't serve food, but you're allowed to bring your own, which is a big plus. There's a wing spot just a few doors down that makes it super convenient to grab something and bring it back. They also host events throughout the week, my personal favorite is Wednesday night bingo. It's always a fun crowd and a good midweek activity. Overall, it's a great local brewery with a welcoming vibe, tons of drink options, and fun things to do. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area

I went here on Wednesday evening for my friend's birthday. Decided to just have a simple Pinot…read moregrigio wine from Italy and it was enjoyable. 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

The Acoustics in the place is absolutely fabulous. I also enjoyed the outside patio area just to chill out and they had a little fire pit area you could relax around to where you could still hear the music. Inside they had a little bar area and places to sit down where you could order food and get drinks. Everything was super clean and there were bouncers everywhere so I felt super safe! Also, the little Hidden Gem suffering bastards is inside and had a nice little visit with some drinks in there before the concert! It was a really great experience!

I got a 5oz pour of the Wee peaty (scotch ale) and then switched to cider (original sin NY style). They do have a good cider in the can selection. My husband got the Troy's hammer - a schwazbier. He liked it and ended up with two of them.

The beer from ivanhoe is always cold and delicious no matter the type you prefer. The bartenders are always on point helping and ready to pour the beer. The food was good, unfortunately did not take a picture of the pretzels but know it comes with 2 stone fired pretzels with ipa beer cheese and mustard. So good to pair with the beer. The ambiance is open feeling with 2 pool tables, lots of seating spots, and they even put out board games to play with your party. Overall I definitely love going here and is my go to brewery.

No more lighted bar for cool beer pics and the sign doesn't spin as much or have the beer choices. Still, there is good beer and great food, especially pizza. No charcuterie though. The food menu is fairly basic, pizza, wraps and small bites, also desserts and they make their own blue cheese and ranch dressings, which are delicious. I hear the boiled peanuts and the house meatballs are really good here. This location doesn't have all the beers the main location in Ivanhoe Park has. It has enough though. But it is way more spacious and there are pool tables and an arcade. So that is a plus. Also has a juke box, but they play the music so low you will barely be able to hear your songs. The service here was great as the beer and the pizza. So there is that. And of course it is Ivanhoe. Parking is limited and the area is a tad sketchy. Still had a great visit and probably would return.

I got the brisket sandwich with a side of mac and cheese and Texas toast, along with a few different sauces. Overall, everything was really good! The only thing I wish was better was the Sprite--it wasn't cold. Thankfully, they were able to give me a cup of ice so I could pour it over and enjoy my drink. The ambiance was nice, and the staff was friendly. They also have a bar, and from what I saw, they have live music at night, which sounds like a great vibe. I'll definitely be coming back, especially because I'm looking forward to trying the new restaurant that's opening this month. Glad to have another spot to check out now that I'm in Apopka!

I decided to order from Sweet & Salty Island Grindz, and the Katsu Chicken Plate was phenomenal. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. The portions were generous, and every bite tasted fresh and well prepared. One thing that really sets Halls on 5th apart is the bar. Unlike many food halls that only offer beer and wine, they have a full-service bar with an excellent selection of cocktails and spirits. The bartender was friendly, attentive, and provided outstanding service, which made the experience even better. Between the variety of food options, the full bar, and the great hospitality, Halls on 5th is a place I'll definitely be returning to. If you're in Apopka, it's well worth the visit.

It was extremely…read morestrong which many don't complain about but I like the taste of a drink to be nice and not just like alcohol alone. I told my friend this tastes like a shot, she said no it's worse than a shot. I don't remember what the drink was called but it looked nice. Picture for reference. My friend bought it for me and I took two sips and had her try it. Even she was like wth is that. I told the guy I was so sorry I couldn't drink it and he just said "oh well the bar is closing, and I can't make you another drink." Which was fine but I know many times if you order something and they can clearly tell you didn't like it, they will say sorry either wipe it from the bill or offer some type of credit (drink credit for another time or something). I haven't been to more than 30 bars around here so I'm not sure what everyone's policy is but I know times when I've been out with others and someone didn't like it, people are usually really nice about it and willing to help in some way. Not the worst thing but it just made me more inclined to not want to go back. We also went pretty late and you could tell the bartenders were wanting to hurry up and get everything cleaned so that they could leave. They really didn't want to make conversation with anyone and were just trying to hurry up and get their stuff cleaned out. There were still probably about 10 or 15 people in there though and it's a fairly small place. We ended up just leaving before they fully closed. It's possible the bartenders just had a rough night, but there wasn't really anything there that made me want to come back again. It's small and cute but there is nothing you can't get anywhere else except for strong drinks. Not for me.

Oh, my oh my!! I've been venturing to Sunroom since their inception! A long-time fan of this local…read moreMills 50 favorite, I decided to pop into Sunroom with some friends this past weekend for a cocktail. One of the many bars along Mills 50 to infuse beautiful design into their space, the Sunroom is a swanky lil' modern bar with a good amount of indoor seating. There is some shared outdoor seating for the bar and eatery in the plaza where the Sunroom is located, so keep that in mind if you want to sit outdoors. However, check with bar staff about bringing drinks outdoors (I don't believe you can - but don't quote me on that). Beyond that, you should be able to find seating in the Sunroom, which you enter from the rear of the building. Upon arrival, we were greeted fairly quickly by the bartenders and were able to place our orders. I ordered the Cafe Bandito (which is a play on the espresso martini), and it was DELISH! It was well-balanced and just had a great finish. I must note that the Sunroom is a tad pricier than its neighbor, The Guesthouse. So, keep that in mind if you are looking for budget-friendly options. However, they make a great cocktail here, and it's definitely worth the visit every once in a while! Might as well TREAT yourself! All in all, great spot for a girls' night, date night, or just a solo adventure! You can also pop into The Guesthouse next door and grab a bite at the Black Rooster, which is further down. What more can you ask for?
