Bahama Breeze

8849 International Dr, Orlando, FL 32819 407-248-2499

Description: INTERNATIONAL DRIVE. A taste of the Islands ­ in Orlando! With a selection of more than 50 beers and numerous tropical drinks (such as their signature Bahamarita) it's no wonder that locals flock here. The restaurant doesn't accept reservations, and there tends to be a wait. Just order a drink, settle yourself on the roomy porch, and listen to the live reggae band. Casual attire.
More Details


Bob Marley: A Tribute to Freedom

6000 Universal Blvd, Universal Studios Citywalk, Orlando, FL 32819 407-224-3663

Description: UNIVERSAL. Want to get into that island frame of mind? Then you definitely need to get yourself over to this cool Jamaican-themed nightspot, famous for its great reggae rhythms and terrific food. Grab a seat in the courtyard area, order a rum drink or Red Stripe and let Bob take care of the rest. At some point, you'll want to tour the inside of the club and check out all of the Marley memorabilia hanging on the walls. 21 and up after 9pm.
More Details


Casey's on Central

50 E Central Blvd, Orlando, FL 32801 407-648-4218

Description: DOWNTOWN. Christmas lights and an array of sports and travel memorabilia add flavor to the interior of this relaxed hangout, where you'll meet all types. Live acoustic bands frequently grace the stage, and on weeknights, the after-work crowd gathers on the patio to unwind over Casey's famous concoctions. A great place to mingle with the locals!
More Details


Cricketers Arms Pub

7563 Sand Lake Rd, Orlando, FL 32819 407-730-2111

Description: INTERNATIONAL DRIVE. If you enjoy watching a soccer match while sucking down a Guinness and nibbling a Scottish egg, plan a stop at the Cricketers Arms. This friendly, cozy pub is full of locals ­ a sure sign that the warm ambiance and authentic fare are genuine. There are 15 domestic and imported beers on tap, with a wide representation of ales, porters, lagers, bitters and stouts. The pub munchies include all of the traditional favorites from steak and stout pie, to bangers and mash, to fish and chips. Casual dress.
More Details


Dexter's of Winter Park

558 W New England Ave, Winter Park, FL 32789 407-629-1150

Description: WINTER PARK. Dexter's truly feels like a neighborhood bar "where everybody knows your name." Live bands, often covering oldies or classic rock, play here Thursday through Saturday nights, and the food ­ ginger-orange braised beef short ribs, for example ­ is more haute cuisine than bar munchies. Plus, the bartenders, who have a faction of adoring regulars, shake up the best margarita ("The Golden") you'll ever taste.
More Details


Eye Spy

54 N Orange Ave, Orlando, FL 32801 407-246-1599

Description: DOWNTOWN. Who says you outgrow hide-and-seek? At this downtown bar, you'll want to evade the cameras and two-way mirrors before sneaking into the photo booth. Located between two clubs, the Independent and Bar-BQ, the spot's marked by an intentionally misleading sign with Chinese letters. The dark interior appears small, but extra rooms lurk behind the bookcases. Jukebox tunes play most nights of the week, but on weekends DJs provide the entertainment.
More Details


Hard Rock Live

6050 Universal Blvd, Universal Studios CityWalk, Orlando, FL 32819 407-351-5483

Description: UNIVERSAL. Located at Universal's CityWalk, this live concert venue boasts tremendous appeal. Modeled after the Roman coliseum, the dramatic structure seats 2000, features six bars and adjoins the legendary Hard Rock Café. Artists from far and near grace the stage, and past performers include Willie Nelson, Pink, Jewel and Velvet Revolver.
More Details


House of Blues Orlando

1490 E Buena Vista Dr, Downtown Disney West Side, Lake Buena Vista, FL 32836 407-934-2583

Description: DOWNTOWN DISNEY ®. One of Orlando's most popular live music venues, HOB (as it is called by those in the know) offers top-level live entertainment and a brilliant Mississippi Delta-inspired menu that features everything from jambalaya and étouffée to fried catfish and pork chops. HOB has a variety of stages, including an outdoor garden stage, an intimate jazz lounge inside and the grand main stage, where national acts perform. If architecture and interior design are your things, then you'll definitely want to tool around the eclectic bars and dining areas. Sunday's Gospel Brunch is not to be missed! Brunch reservations required.
More Details


Houston's

215 S Orlando Ave, Winter Park, FL 32789 407-740-4005

Description: WINTER PARK. Houston's is where the hip and hardworking young professionals head after a day at the office. By 6pm the bar is slammed with happy hour revelers and diners waiting for a table. Though Houston's food wins raves, so does their view. The lakefront porch is the perfect place to sit, relax with a cocktail, and watch the sunset. Dressy casual.
More Details


Independent Bar

70 N Orange Ave, Orlando, FL 32801 407-839-0457

Description: DOWNTOWN. Visitors to Orlando seeking under 21 night clubs should check out Independent Bar, an adequately-named, multi-level club with a funky, laid-back style and an incredible range of music, including everything from 80s and vintage rock to indie and top 40 hits. Two dance floors and three bars each offer a unique setting where 21 and up patrons can order expertly mixed, reasonably priced drinks and under 21 visitors can unwind or move to the music.
More Details


Jimmy Buffett's® Margaritaville® Orlando

6000 Universal Blvd, Universal CityWalk® Orlando, Orlando, FL 32819 407-224-2155

Description: UNIVERSAL. Looking for a colorful, high-spirited spot to kick back? The atmosphere at this bar and restaurant is hard to beat! Each night a live band plays Caribbean-inspired tunes, rock and top 40. Prior to showtime, Buffett's played all day, and he also makes several video "appearances." With the help of a few margaritas, the decor ­ complete with fishing rods attached to booths ­ transports you to the carefree tropics. The menu offers a wide range of island-inspired fare such as lobster and shrimp salad, the famous "Cheeseburger in Paradise," and Cuban meatloaf.
More Details


Orlando Brewing

1301 Atlanta Ave, Orlando, FL 407-872-1117

Description: DOWNTOWN. Florida's only certified organic brewery ­ located in a corrugated metal building in the middle of a warehouse district ­ definitely feels more like a factory than other more swish microbreweries you may have visited. But whatever it might be lacking in ambience, it makes up for in a solid beer selection. (The pale ale is especially good.) The brewery usually offers well over a dozen beers on tap, and live bands often play on weekends. No food is served, but patrons are welcome to bring their own or have it delivered.
More Details


Pat O'Brien's

6000 Universal Blvd, Universal Studios Citywalk, Orlando, FL 32819 407-224-2106

Description: UNIVERSAL. Walking through Pat O'Brien's front door is like stepping onto Bourbon Street, and the Orlando location of this bar is modeled after the New Orleans original, complete with patio, flaming fountain and dueling piano bar. In fact, Pat O'Brien's claims to have invented the concept of "warring pianos," so be sure to take in the show. While you are enjoying the music, sip on Pat O's other claim to fame: the Hurricane. Other popular drinks are the Purple People Eater and the Skylab. Be sure to bring a designated driver because these mammoth cocktails pack a punch! Casual dress.
More Details


Red Fox Lounge

110 S Orlando Ave, Best Western Mt. Vernon Hotel, Winter Park, FL 32789 407-647-1166

Description: WINTER PARK. Its setting is surreal: Red Fox, attached to the Best Western Mt. Vernon Inn, looks like an unsavory dive from the outside. But once inside, you're transported to a small, dim club room, all dark wood and deep-red wallpaper. Its claims to fame include stiff drinks, and lounge singers who perform five nights a week.
More Details


Rose & Crown Pub

United Kingdom Pavilion, Disney Epcot World Showcase, Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830 407-939-3463

Description: EPCOT ®. This charming British pub is one of Epcot's most popular watering holes. Situated on the lake, the building features elements of Tudor and Elizabethan architecture and is adjoined by a patio. As for the cuisine, it's no ordinary pub grub. Authentic fare such as fish and chips, battered to perfection, and comforting cottage pie, enhanced by a pint of ale, makes for a meal that's delightfully distinctive from any other in the park. In the evening, guests may watch IllumiNations, the nightly fireworks show, from outdoor tables.
More Details


SKY60

64 N Orange Ave, Orlando, FL 32801 407-246-1599

Description: DOWNTOWN. Beautiful 20- and 30-somethings strut the floor of this rooftop bar and groove to hip hop, soul and techno. The stylish, cabana-inspired bar offers tantalizing tropical cocktails such as the mojito and pepperita. Guests sit on white beach furniture while they take in the magnificent scenery (views of downtown Orlando aren't bad, either!) and savor the many flavors of the evening. Dress to impress, or you'll likely feel out of place.
More Details


Tanqueray's

100 S Orange Ave, Orlando, FL 32801 407-649-8540

Description: DOWNTOWN. Having trouble finding Tanqueray's? Look down! It's located below street level in what used to be a bank vault. Perhaps this lingering smell of money is why the establishment is a popular happy hour spot for Orlando's attorneys and other dealmakers. Tanqueray's has an extremely loyal clientele who claim it is a haven from the usual tourist mobs. These same locals rave about the bartenders' skill at pouring a Guinness pint as well as the ­ couldn't you guess ­ Tanqueray Martinis. Several nights a week there are excellent live jazz, rock, or blues bands. Dressy casual.
More Details


The Social

54 N Orange Ave, Orlando, FL 32801 407-246-1419

Description: DOWNTOWN. Among Orlando clubs, the local music scene thrives best at the Social. Boasting an expansive but sleek bar with a great selection of craft beers, intimate seating areas, vaulted ceilings and VIP lounges, the Social draws an eclectic crowd and impressive lineup of musicians. Acts like the Get Up Kids, Bright Eyes and Modest Mouse have performed here, making this venue an integral part of the cultural and musical fabric of Orlando.
More Details


WaiTiki Retro Tiki Lounge

26 Wall St, Orlando, FL 32801 407-849-0471

Description: DOWNTOWN. Located on a quaint pedestrian street downtown, this exotic, Polynesian-themed lounge features a dark wood interior adorned with tiki torches and world art. Crowds flock to the bar for popular island cocktails, and while space indoors is often tight, the outdoor patio offers a more relaxed atmosphere. Most evenings, live performers keep the place jamming with reggae, lounge and surf rock.
More Details


Wally's Mills Avenue Liquors

1001 N Mills Ave, Orlando, FL 32803 407-896-6975

Description: COLONIALTOWN. Yes, you did see their hours right, and yes, folks do drink that early. The bar at Wally's, a dive by any definition of the phrase, is stuffed into one room and adjoins a liquor store. As many regulars come here as do people just wanting to imbibe anonymously. The drinks are clear, the wallpaper is of naked ladies, and the bartenders have seen it all, if not gone through it themselves.
