The service is friendly and it enjoyed my time here. This is definitely a cool destination in Avalon Park and I would definitely recommend a visit here. read more

Bowigens Beer - Avalon Park - Breweries Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This Brewery was a little bit smaller than we were anticipating, but we love that. It was part of a food market where there were multiple different stalls where you can get food while you enjoyed your beer. They do have indoor and outdoor seating. The beer selection is definitely buried, but they do carry a high selection of sours. My husband tried the priest and the Matador, which is their Vienna lager. He really enjoyed it! Said that it wasn't too hoppy and definitely was an easy drink especially if you want an Amber ale and they're out of there at 407. He also tried the Sol Y Amigos, they are Mexican lager with a hint of salt and lime. It is a super light beer, and he said he definitely got the salt within the first sip of it with a little hint of the lime on the back end. I started with the daydream tangerine, which is a wheat ale with tangerines. Pretty easy drinking and very similar to a blue moon. I also tried the don't peel the reaper which was their banana split sour. It was OK, but not my favorite. I definitely didn't get a lot of the flavors that I was expecting out of it. Overall, good experience and the bartender was super friendly and provided great service read more

Always a great experience at Bowigens. We love the rotating menu of beers. It's always a great place to hang out whether you want to sit outside, at the bar, or inside the marketplace. I always get one of their delicious sours. I love that most aren't overly sweet. Give it a try if you're local and have never been. read more

All in all a good little spot, to grab a brewski. read more

This was a super cute beer place! I am newer to the Avalon Park area and was down the street with some girlfriends for brunch when we decided to go check this place out. It was a beautiful day and so we sat down and we're able to order a couple flights and sample other beers. As you can see from their menu they have a ton of variety. The bartenders were very friendly and helped us choose the best beer for us. They let us sample whichever we pleased. The prices are what you would expect from a brewery in Avalon Park but I think it's worth it to go again. Also, in this little area is a market place that is super cute! It's nice to grab a beer and visit the shop or have a meal read more

There's not much to say about Bowigens. This location is a staple of the Avalon Marketplace. They have seating outside and bar side, as well as being able to bring a beer to your table inside. I'm not a huge "regular" beer person (IPAs, etc.) but they make delicious beers even I can drink. I tend to stick to their sours. read more

Instead of waiting for Octoberfest 1 weekend a year, I can now get beer in Avalon Park every day? Ok, I'm sure I could do that before with a few of the businesses around, but nothing with beer in the title. The establishment is located on the corner of the building and there's an outside bar that encompasses both sides. The inside bar is right inside the door. They have quite a few of their own beers, a couple of guest beers, and also some wines and seltzers. Having just opened, this place gets BUSY, especially on a weekend. People waiting in line to get beer, snagging seats as soon as they open, and doing what they can to get a refreshing beer. We started with a flight then moved on to a few other beers. If you do secure a seat, it's a great spot to have a beer and choose from the many food venues at the marketplace. The staff is attentive except when they're not. As I said, it can get busy and take a while to get a refill or order another. But the staff is super friendly and various team members checked on us throughout the night. Thanks for coming to Avalon Park! I look forward to more beers at this place. read more

This was our first time visiting this newer location for Bowigens and we loved it! We normally visit the OG location but made our way out to this one today. The bartenders were so friendly and we loved the atmosphere. After realizing it's only 23 minutes from us in Lake Nona we have decided that this will be part of our new brewery rotation!! read more

Bowigens Beer - Avalon Park - Breweries Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I am so thrilled to have a brewery practically in my back yard! Situated in the newly opened Marketplace at Avalon Park, this Bowigens is a new location from the original Bowigens in Casselberry. We've been a few times now and they've added some new releases that will definitely keep me coming back. They offer not only a bunch of their own beers but also have some rotating guest taps. The variety is good with some easy drinking lighter beers as well as some great IPA's and sours for the more adventurous beer connoisseurs. The bar has both indoor and outdoor seating and the staff has been super awesome. It's a perfect place to relax and enjoy a beer or four. ;) read more

Being able to have amazingly fresh beer is your divine right, but to have options and a 10+ tap handle variety is pure capitalism. Yeah, I like to compare religion with business because... aren't they the same? I am joking, I apologize for hurting your feels. The thing is, it's been such a long time since Avalon and Waterford Lakes blossomed that it was just a matter of time since we got our first brewery. I mean, we have good pizza, good coffee, good BBQ, and now good beer. Yeah, things are heating in this part of town. And this won't be the end of it, more good stuff is coming. I hit Bowigens during Oktoberfest, I know that no one celebrates this holiday except people with a drinking problem, ahem, but if you do, they had a nice variety of German inspired beers. I wish all their tap handles were German beers, but I can take two. Next year, I expect more German beers, after all, the big breweries do it and it attracts a lot of people. Other beers are also good here, the space is nice and comfortable, very urban but never crowded. This is a good location and I think more breweries will open nearby soon. The trend is: good beer pulls good food. Let's get trendy. read more

I visited this bar while at Avalon marketplace. The staff was very kind and friendly and wanted to help to make good choices. They have plenty of seating outside and plenty of seating inside. They have wonderful signage as to what they have to offer. I wanted to get some cider, but they were in a can, I wish that they were on tap. My husband got the Scottish ale, and Bo-berfest. They were able to give a sample so that you can try it before you purchase it. I think that it was Six dollars and seven dollars for both beers. I saw that they had wonderful flights and people were really enjoying them. We will definitely go back another time and try different things. Overall, great for this area there is nothing like this around here so it will do very well! read more

I was so excited to come here! There's many vendors so you can pick any kind of food you like. We got the following 1. Nachos were decent but not amazing tbh. And the portion isn't as big as other places but it's ok 2. Crawfish etouffe. Wow it was so delicious! Super savory and spicy, the crawfish size was large, and the rice was perfectly cooked. The small size was only $7 and decent sized portion so I definitely recommend to share or just try it out 3. Korean fried chicken. Sweet and spicy and a deep savory flavor. Also crispy and juicy. Comes with tortilla chips but they were kinda stale. Still worth it for the chicken! 4. Jambalaya. It's different than the one I've had before which has a red sauce in it, but this one is more like a dirty rice than jambalaya so I wouldn't get it again, but it does taste pretty good! There's also a cute wine shop with wine slushees and beer and ice team and anything you can think of! The weather was so nice when we went so it was lovely hanging out outside with live music in the background ! Def check this out if you're in the area (: read more

It's gone downhill. It used to be great service & beer, & the male bartender gave samples based on what's new & my likes. I'd order a flight once we had them chosen. It was always fun. I've been there a few times. I even would post my dog on social media from there because they asked me to. Horrible service now. The pregnant bartender didn't like much of anything on the menu, really negative, judgmental, & stingy. Wouldn't allow samples to create a flight. Gave 2 tiny drops as "samples" and said no more samples without purchasing a pint first. What?!? Extremely rude glare. Couldn't create my flight. It was bizarre & insulting. Church lady bartender criticizing the different alcohol percentages, one had 12%, & terrible service. (Don't like it, well then, don't drink it...) There were Hispanic laborers that just got off work building in Avalon, and they said she was rude to them too, very snooty, cold. One said he was almost done with his beer and he would gladly order me all the samples I wanted to pick my flight flavors, he insisted, but I told him no thanks, I'm not interested anymore, & will find another place with better customer service. Had been going there for years, this female bartender was so out of place, the worst, a huge difference from previous years. They're also relying too much on cans. If you find a flavor you like (for a while I liked sours) it maybe can only be purchased in cans to take home. read more

The perfect spot to grab a cold one- I love having this brewery in Avalon! I especially love that they always have a great selection of sours which are my favorite. The menu is always rotating so there's always something new. Also, they play the BEST music imo ;) Lots of early 2000s alternative/pop punk which is right up my alley! read more

If you're looking for a good beer, indoor outdoor seating, and just overall good vibes - look no further! We frequent Avalon Park and I'm so happy there's a place to get a good, unique beer in an awesome setting. Let me start with the staff - they're amazing! They let you sample beers and are knowledgeable on the selections, often providing recommendations based on your preferences. I typically only sit at the bar, so I'm not sure how easy this experience would be if you were at a table. This is part of the Marketplace, so you can easily go and order food from one of their many locations and they'll bring the food to you. Another plus in my opinion just offering different selections. Several bars in the area but it's nice to have brewery vibes and a chill atmosphere. read more

This is my second time to Bowigens in the marketplace at Avalon Park. I have been lucky enough to have Greg as my bartender. He is very friendly and knows his beer and food pairings. Now that my favorite bartender, Brian McLaughlin up in Boston at the Erie Pub has retired. He has become my new favorite bartender. Bo Wiggins is a great little bar within doing outdoor seating and plenty of TVs to watch your favorite sports. I would recommend this spot for day or evening relaxation. This is a great destination. read more

Indoor and outdoor seating, good prices, great staff, and an impressive selection of local beers. What's not to love?

This place makes me happy. Really excellent craft brews for dine in or to go. I don't know why I buy beer anywhere else! Support local!

We came here while visiting the marketplace and thought they had an interesting selection. My husband really enjoyed his beer that he had gotten. I ordered a cider, but it didn't really taste right. Wasn't my favorite drink, but we would consider coming back to give this place another try. read more

I love Bowigens. I personally feel they have the best beer in Florida and beyond. I remember when Bobby and his partner opened the one in Casselberry and I thought--damn--these guys are gonna make it. And ---the have. Their new establishment in Avalon Park is fantastic. Food is great and the corner location is the best in Avalon. One suggestion though. Make your beer selection board a lot bigger--similar to the Casselberry chalk board. And make it more descriptive--similar to the Casselberry one. The current one is small and hard to read. As a matter of fact I'd add two on each side of bar. That's my only suggestion because otherwise--this place rocks. 5 stars all the way! read more

A go to weekly for us. Service is great, new beers to try are released regularly and we can eat our food from the other restaurants inside the marketplace at the bar. Loved the banana stout and guava sour they had this weekend. read more

Been here before and who I believe was the owner was very nice and accommodating. Very cool concept and good beer. Came here on a Friday night and sat down at the bar. Owner was with friends and he had 3 bartenders who treated the guests as if they were invisible. Cleaned counters right in front of me while I was hoping to order a beer without even acknowledging me. Horrible service. This is my third visit but will find another place to stop for a beer. read more
