The drinks were great and the food was soo good that we still talk about it days later. He loved the bone marrow. Steak was perfectly cooked, tender and juicy. The cake was not my favorite at all. It took way too long to come out and it came out very cold. Not much chocolate flavor, too much salt. It was missing something. We will skip dessert next time.

    Two Words . . VERY…read moreRICH I keep forgetting that this restaurant is essentially serving Southern style comfort food in an upscale setting. Southern comfort food as a general rule just doesn't sit well with me anymore and I'm going to be very transparent and bare my soul a little bit here but here goes . . . Ever since being on GLP1's, I've developed a really complicated relationship with comfort food. Foods that are rich, buttery, creamy or fatty now hit me completely differently than they used to. It's almost like my body immediately goes into shutdown mode afterwards. I feel heavy, exhausted and like I've instantly ballooned even if the portions themselves aren't massive. For the longest time I honestly thought it was simply the richness of the food itself but now I realize it's because my digestion just can't process heavier comfort foods the same way anymore. Suddenly... it all makes sense. The food itself here is VERY good. Properly seasoned, well prepared, beautifully presented... absolutely no complaints there whatsoever. I simply have to become more mindful and strategic now with my menu selections no matter WHERE I dine. I chose the Creekstone Farm's NY Strip with the fabulous bone marrow which I KNOW is supposed to be incredibly nutrient rich and good for you... but honestly... it just about put me under afterwards. This dinner happened thanks to Ronnald M. and his sister Teris and it was our pre-opera dinner outing before seeing the fabulous Merry Widow at the Dr. Phillips Center. The Monroe is honestly a very good pre-concert restaurant choice because of both the atmosphere and location... I'm just personally learning that this new GLP1 reality means I can't approach menus the way I used to anymore.

    So happy to see the old Dead Words space back in action under the Ivanhoe Park team! I'm a huge fan…read moreof Ivanhoe Park Brewing, so I'm thrilled they took over. They kept the place mostly the same. It's such a great space, and I'm glad they didn't scrap it. The food is just as good as the beer. I had the wings, and they were huge and juicy, and the pizza was basically perfect. The Kale Caesar was a literal mountain (the pepperoni crumbles and golden raisins are a game changer), and the Shishito Peppers were great with that soy-ginger sauce and yuzu aioli. If you love their OG spot or were a fan of Dead Words, you definitely have to check out the Lager House. Same cool atmosphere, great people, and awesome food.

    So I really liked this location when it was Dead Words, so I am a little disappointed in what…read moreIvanhoe has done with the place. 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.

The vibe here is dark, intimate, and gives off a chic city nightlife feel. They offer both a full cocktail menu and a happy hour menu. They also offer a Thai tapas menu, which we unfortunately didn't get to try because we were already stuffed from dinner at Talay, but the menu looked amazing and gives us another reason to come back! The drinks are unique, creative, and very well crafted. We ordered the Celestial Bloom, and it was absolutely delicious! It was beautifully balanced and left us wanting to come back just to try more of their cocktails. Definitely a great spot for drinks before or after dinner!

The hidden door which you push is on the right side. Once inside the bar it is super small inside. The tables along the wall are squished together. I think you're better off at the bar. I could see lots of people bringing dates here. First up, I tried a $17 Tree of Life. The drink the bartender made me was maybe 2 sips. There's a giant ice cube and a bamboo leaf or something and very little drink to drink. Not sure what to make of this because as soon as I was deciding if I liked it or not, it was gone. Wouldn't order this again. Second, I tried a $17 Adam & Eve. I wish the matcha was much stronger. There's a place in Tampa called Tori Bar that has a super duper matcha tasting cocktail. This one was much lighter. It was fine, not my favorite. Maybe I'd bring a date here sometime, but wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

A group of 6 men came up being inappropriate to me and the side bar bouncers instantly noticed and told me i could hang with them until my fiance came out. They were clearly aware of their surroundings, professional, and made a small 27 year old woman feel very safe!!! next time im in downtown Orlando i will be going to side bar just because of these men. I never got their names but to the two lovely and kind men outside side bar at 1 am on Friday may 2, you have my utmost respect and I hope whoever is the owner/manager sees this comment and recognizes that you're not only good people to your customers but also random girls on the street who are being harassed. I'm going to recommend this bar to every person I know whether it's guys or all girls on a night out because I know they'll be taken care of. Please give them a thank you for me if you see this.

While it is nothing like it used to be back when Vintage, Vyce, and some of the older bars/night lounges existed, it is still a solid spot. It has also SURVIVED the various neighboring bar changes throughout the years. The bartenders, throughout the years, have also been quite solid! I have a couple of favorites that I always look for when I visit. Even the doormen are cool people. They have resident DJs that play throughout the week and weekends - all are pretty good! The vibe is usually pretty chill. The nights when they are slower are my favorite because they can get pretty packed. Service is usually pretty great. From time to time, they have specials/deals. They offer nice, fairly affordable mid-shelf (or top-shelf) drink options (as well as well-drink options). They also offer hookahs, if you are into that. Please keep in mind that if you have cash on you, you can get the hookah at a discounted rate. They have a decent number of TVs if you are looking to watch any games. As the name suggests, it is a "side" bar, so seating there is limited, but it does make for more than enough on slower days/nights. They have great hours, and you can also order food from Gitto's next door at the bar counter. All in all, it is a good spot to add to bar-hop rotation or to just visit in general.

I feel like small or large groups can definitely enjoy their time here. Love the speakeasy vibes of walking in through the bookcase. The cocktails tasted very good and well curated. We were able to order a handful of drinks as a party of 6. I don't think you can go wrong with any of their drinks! There's plenty of seating with couches, chairs, tables and bar seating. Bathrooms clean & waitresses were attentive. Retro Music & Dim lighting, definitely bring a jacket- that AC was blowwwing. There were also board games in the back! Would definitely return.

They definitely know how to create a romantic mood and atmosphere. We got the "Easter special" which I would skip I think. Best part was the meringue raspberry cookie but everything was just fine. Also seemed much more themed to Valentine's Day than Easter. Now the "Fourgasm" sampler is great. You start off with a cheesecake, then get to a caramelized carrot cake, followed by some kind of chocolate cake/pie and finish it off with a red velvet cake. The desserts get better and better as you eat them (if you start off with the cheesecake which they recommend) I also got the "Sex-spresso Martini" and that was delicious too. But I've never met an espresso martini I didn't like. One of my favorite parts is giggling at the ridiculousness of the names and descriptions of each item. You can tell they really had fun writing them.
