Such a fun spot for happy hour! We came in ready to relax and left already planning our next visit…read more The drink specials were generous and the vibe was warm and lively without being too loud to actually talk. Hands down the star of the show was the shrimp dish, perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and honestly some of the best we've had in a while. We ended up ordering a second round just to enjoy it a little longer. Service was friendly and attentive the whole time, which made the experience even better. If you're looking for a great happy hour with a standout menu item, The Whyskey delivers. We'll definitely be back!

We popped over here for lunch on a Saturday around two in the afternoon. We were very surprised…read morewith how busy it was as it's typically not that busy on Saturday afternoons. We chose seats at the bar and were greeted promptly by Brian and Rowan. Because there were a lot of people and just the two of them, they were running around taking orders from tables as well as servicing the bar so it did take a little bit to get our drink orders in, but we were enjoying looking through the whiskey library anyways. I started off with a Suncreek blonde ale. It is strawberry blonde ale and it's delicious. My husband started with the Yingling. He keeps hoping they will bring the Kentucky bourbon ale back on tap again. For lunch, I got the whiskey dip which is full of chopped beef with cheese and onions. Served with an herb, dipping sauce, and your choice of side. I opted for the sweet potato waffle fries because they are delicious. My husband got a burger with fries cooked perfectly. Once we are done with our food, we did opt for a taster. My husband had to go through several different bottles before he found one they actually had in stock. That is one of the downside is the whiskey library that is online is not always reflective of what they actually have in stock as he was really looking forward to trying the old Fitzgerald birthday, but alas, they did not have it in stock. He ended up going with the jack Daniels 12 year and really enjoyed it. I opted for the widow Jane 14 year very sweet easy to drink. Great service from Bryan and Rowan always enjoy seeing them behind the bar

Autumn was our tour host and Derrick helped us bottle our own moonshine. It was an amazing experience and we even loved the free craft cocktail we got after our tasting. I of course got the Key Lime Pie cocktail and it was perfection. Thanks for an amazing experience!

She was amazing and the moonshine oh my God, the banana was my favorite follow by the peanut butter and chocolate then the coconut then we move to the passionfruit , the Mandarin , Coquito the spiced and finally the pure moonshine if you are in the Orlando area close to the premium outlets go and try that it's an amazing experience. Next time we will do the tour of the distillery we did tastings and a free cocktail for around $70. I cannot wait to try this again.

If you want my opinion, Player 1 Video Game Bar, in Orlando, is fantastic. It's the quintessential…read moreretro-arcade bar. It's dark, cool, and the themed decor fits the place perfectly. For example, the top of the bar is actually a time line of the history of video games...something to take in while you're throwing back a few adult beverages. Assuming that you're looking to drink a bit, they have an outstanding collection of craft beer, and of course, they have the obligatory "80s themed" cocktails. I haven't quite figured out the food menu. But hey, P1VGB is not really, I don't think, that kind of place. GAMES? They have an excellent selection of old school vids. And whatever the game count, it goes up by 60 because they have at least 1 multigame rig (packaged in a Ms. Pac-Man cabinet). This combo brings you most, if not all, of the blockbuster titles from the 80s. They also have several rare machines. Last but not least, they THE SINGLE ALL TIME GREATEST COIN-OP SPORTS GAME! ATARI FOOTBALL!! Yeah, it's that much fun...I still have callouses and blisters from rolling that big ass track ball back in 1979! Pinball? Well, this is not a pinball palace, but, they do have about 8 to 10 tables. Great titles including Twilight Zone, Haunted House, and Jaws. In addition to the coin-op games that us Gen-Xers grew up with, they have multiple videogame consoles available. For a bar that offers this many games set on free play, admission is very inexpensive. I'd say that at any given time, 5 to 10 percent of the games are down. Not too bad. Located just up the street from Sofrito Latin Cafe, this place is well worth a few hours of time time. 5 stars!

This video game bar is small but has a lot to offer. You have to pay to go in but get to play…read morealmost all the games for free. The few exceptions are guitar hero and a few others. The entrance fee is very low under $10 and Florida residents get a discount. They have games like pac man, donkey Kong, mortal kombat, Tetris, and more. I sat at the bar and played the latest version of Mario Kart. They also had controllers for other game consoles like Xbox. I ordered a few beers and they were decently priced. The only thing I did not love were the bathrooms, they were dirty.

I have been coming here when at my Orlando/Lake Buena Vista Timeshare for the better part of 10…read moreyears now. As far as I know it's still locally owned and is a bar with a lot of character in an otherwise commercially often soulless area. They have both an outdoor bar and an indoor bar. On weekends it gets a little rowdy and young with a DJ after 10pm inside. The staff are all great bar professionals and the bar doesn't rape you on price for the drinks. I love that they carry Crooked Can IPA as well as other IPAs. They often have drink specials. The place is a tad run down, but I'll take that any day over an overpriced soulless bar. I've been coming to this shopping center since before COVID when it was dead, now that it's busy it's nice to see Kitty doing better than ever.

Before I ordered I sat with friends and they had ordered a bunch of food. They had my favorite style of fries CRINKLE FRIES!! I immediately ordered fries and my wings. Stayed for a little bit and then went home. I prepped the air fryer to reheat my fries and to my surprise I got straight fries!! so pissed! I witnessed everyone at the bar having crinkle fries! Why was I punished with this BS fries. I threw the whole thing away! I HATE straight fries. If it's not crinkle I won't buy fries. It's that simple. I'm just disappointed and frustrated. I should've checked. Now those fries are full and in my dumpster. Spent money on something I just won't eat. Next time, I just won't order fries so I won't be disappointed again.
