    Great lounge, with friendly and knowledgeable budtenders. When I'm downtown I'll pop in to see what strains they have. Never been disappointed, they also have infused mocktails at the bar and also ones to grab and go, some yummy baked goods,carts and pre rolls. Most evenings they also have live entertainment, I've attended Bingo in the past and that was fun! It's always a spot that has vibes! Check it out next time when your downtown..

    All I'm going to say is... MY NEW FAVORITE SPOT. This place offers A LOT. Shout out to Bri, hope I spelt it right. Between her and most of the staff have been super nice and informative. It reminda me of a cigar lounge so it's very chill. Check the website out and get familiar. BRING CASH for payment.

    Love this place!! They always have fun events including drag and amazing live jazz musicon Saturday nights. Instead of bartenders you get budtenders. All of the cocktails are delicious. I got the cafe de kush and strawberry fizz. Both were good but my fav will still be the cafe de kush. Also, they have a wall full of board games to play.

    This place is such a vibe. My husband and I came on a date night just for a couple drinks after dinner. We hate going downtown but we came just to try this place. They had live jazz playing which set the perfect mood. The drinks were delicious and the service was very informative. We will definitely be back soon!

    I really like Chronic Guru... especially the concept. They have cannabis and cannabis infused cocktails as well as infused beer. The space is great for groups, and looks like a fun happy hour spot. They have a bar, lounge chairs, sofas and high tops. On 2 occasions I was their, they had live music. But... you can't hear the music from the outside. They should put a speaker on the outside to drive in more business. The servers explain everything to you. You purchase gummies at the register towards the front and flower or infused drinks at the bar. So I got an infused non alcoholic Guinness stout. They offered me 5, 10 or 60 milligrams. I took a double take. 5, 10 or 60? Ummm... crawl, walk or blast off. I chose the 5 to be safe and also because I had a whole night ahead of me. What a great time I had here. When I am in downtown Orlando I will return. Not a big weed person, but it is a chill spot and a good time.

    My friend and I made our way back to chronic guru after the magic game. AGAIN. This place is great! The drinks and the service is unmatched! The staff is super friendly when asking questions and for suggestions. We will always find our way here when in Orlando!

    The vibes here are giving prohibition -- we stopped in after a concert & it was a pretty intimate experience. We tried two cocktails, the summer sipper & garden spritz (names are probably wrong lol!) but they were really delicious and balanced cocktails. We opted for 10mg and it was a pretty chill experience. We felt really relaxed and great! The service was also really friendly and informative!

    Totally NOT a dispensary. I do have a medical card but prefer the experience at Chronic Guru. They don't have alcohol with some exceptions. They have a non alcoholic fancy drink menu. The drinks can have MGs of cbd/thc added in liquid form. They also have several types of infused edibles up to 600 mg. Teas, lemonades and other drinks. Gummies as well. They have a farm in Apopka where they grow their own flower. A wide selection is available at the Lounges. The vibe in both the Sanford and downtown locations is what should be expected. They have games and Open Mic nights. They have Bingo and many other cool events. Prices are what would be expected. They do not have food but you can bring your own. The service has ALWAYS been awesome. Some of the friendliest people around. So skip the big dispensaries and go to any of their lounges. Help support a local family owned business and see the future of cannabis

    Stage view from one of the up-front tables right before the first comedian almost made my mom cry by making fun of her disabilities.

    Good product availability but lacking inclusivity to a disgusting level. LGBTQ+ and disabled potential patrons beware. There was an amateur comedy show at the DTO location. We knew we wanted to go to the bar before finding out about the show so it seemed like a win-win. Get high, enjoy hilarious or hilariously bad comedy, right? Wrong. While some of the comedy was hilarious and some was hilariously bad, the MC and staff did not intervene when the acts were severely punching down. My mom came with me and is very disabled from a major stroke. She walks with a limp and has a paralyzed arm. The first act was there early and saw her walking around. I mention all this because halfway through his flop set, he started talking about "his mom" being disabled and wondering why his dad would ever make love with her. He then began copying my mom's physical mannerisms while saying his dad must have been a horndog in order to ever consider her. My mom was on the verge of tears. She wanted to stay and we did so just to see the other acts and try to redeem the night. The night was ruined, tbh. We love dark and weird comedy but punching down is NEVER the answer. Each comedian was trying to harass patrons so much that the house cleared out within 30 min. The jokes were transphobic, homophobic, misogynist, and racist against non-white minorities. The only folks left were newer walk-ins and the line of comedians. It's a shame because as the night went on, the comedy did get better, and those guys deserved exposure. We left after the redhead's fantastic set and I'm disappointed I didn't get his name because he's a winner. Amateur comedians always have a risk of being out of pocket like this, so it's the MC/staff's job to throw them off the stage when they go too far. Standards need to be established before more comedians go on stage. I sent them an email about this the same night and have not heard back for several nights since. I wouldn't have posted this if they had just apologized or put up a statement somewhere. Clearly they must want Joe Rogan's "comedy is illegal" type of clientele, so I'm merely helping them get those kind of people and keeping us "disgusting" disabled and LGBTQ+ folk away. ;) I'll take this (and my incoming other reviews) down only if I see an apology and acknowledgement that they messed up big time.

    I'm not sure what's going on here but I'm here for it. They sell all kinds of stuff if you know what I'm talking about, I tried the coffee cocktails (I don't remember the names) with 15 mg and I was chilling. They had a performance going on by a singer named Anique Jolee (loved) when I went on a Friday night. The space is really big and they have a stage, this would be a good event venue. There is plenty of seating-- a bar, tables with comfy chairs and long couches with tables and games you can play while you're there. Service was excellent . I will definitely be back.

    Noir Bar is definitely one of my top BARS to visit on my short list of bars I enjoy immensely. I've…read morebeen coming since it opened, and I really cannot say I've been disappointed. The ambiance and feel of the bar is very "sultry" and "intimate." The mood lighting, dark paneling/interiors paired with the bar itself being lit to be the center of attention, lends itself to the secretiveness and LURE that a modernized speakeasy would provide. I truly enjoy stepping foot into this little hidden, but NOT so hidden, gem (which can be accessed from the interior to Talay). Service can be slow at times - especially when they are busy. However, the staff is usually always gracious, helpful, and willing to serve. The few great mixologists I've met there have also been very willing to break down how they make their drinks and really give us a glimpse into their world. So, I'm appreciative of that. That is not something that you can always expect at bars. As for the drinks (and food I'll glaze over), I am usually not left disappointed. I appreciate that seasonally they play with their drink menu and introduce new cocktails. I also love a handful of their signature drinks on the menu. This may be the only bar I've had a drink with Aperol in it that I actually ENJOYED (and not tolerated). The pricing can get high depending on what you order, but for the area and the going rate of a night out, they hold their own. Definitely don't pop into Noir if you are looking for an AFFORDABLE cocktail experience because the tab will creep up on you. The food is OKAY. They share a kitchen with Talay and offer some items not on the Talay menu - which is nice. However, I rarely eat when I visit, so the few times I have, it's been okay. Nothing to truly brag home about. I am happy, though, that they did start offering food because in the very beginning (when they first opened), that was not an option. Anyways, Noir Bar is GREAT (to me)! I will keep coming here and recommending it to others. It's also great for a date night or night out with your friends. It's in a decent location - but please take heed of parking in this area, as it can be challenging to find FREE street parking. However, there is parking available all around and in various garages nearby.

    After months of anticipation... I finally made it to Alfie's…read more It was exactly what I was hoping it would be: a slice of culture. Real people. Real life. Real youth. Real energy. Real good vibes. Orlando obviously has no shortage of places to eat, drink, and gather, but Alfie's belongs to that rare category of venues that feel equally at home in a major metropolis. It's the kind of spot that would fit seamlessly into Los Angeles's best neighborhoods: think Gold Line in Highland Park or the Vinyl Room at the Hollywood Palladium. Not because they're carbon copies, but because they share that intangible quality of genuine discovery and cultural curiosity. The crowd ( age range 25 - 35 mostly ) was genuinely engaged with one another. People were actually talking, actually present, not hunched over their phones. That alone felt invigorating. There was an undeniable spark in the room. Alfie's wasn't chasing trends; it was simply allowing them to emerge naturally. What impressed me most was how they brought it all together .. Retro stereo equipment and vinyl players from the 50s mixed with a bar area that's super sleek and modern. Conversations, music, the lounge itself .... all came together in a way that felt alive and IN THE MOMENT. When my LA friends visit, Alfie's is on the list. Go after 9 or 10 PM and plan to stay for at least two hours. That's when you really see the scene develop and come alive. Bring your ID: they card at the door. Even at my age, I still get carded. No complaining about that ! lol

    We entered around 8 pm on a Wednesday. We considered getting a drink since it was cold inside and…read morethe music was good. However, we initially entered to get a picture in the photobooth for our friends birthday. There was no one at the door checking IDs. After we all piled into the photobooth, someone walked up and asked for our IDs. He wanted us to exit the booth to get them. Eventually said ok because we had already paid and on a timer. But he was very impatient. Let me add that there was not a single person in the entire place. NO ONE. Let me also add that almost our entire group is almost 40. So we're obv not underage. With the way he approached us and was completely impatient, we were a little turned off and left. Which lost them money on our entire group. He followed us out the door as we left. It was a weird experience especially when there was literally no one else in there. The music was good but I doubt and of us will to back based on that experience alone.

The service at the bar was great! Kudos to Brandon for making drink suggestions. We first had the espresso martini, then the Key Lime Fizz (adorable mini key lime cheesecake on top) and followed by the Piña Mamecita. The place is a little small, but decorated with a tropical kind of feel to it. Parking is also limited, however I think they are working on that. I'm already looking forward to going back, just wish I lived a little closer!

When I first arrived right at 4pm, I thought maybe it was closed as only my car was in the parking lot. I went in the side door which apparently is not the main entrance, but there were a few people inside. My bartender Emily was awesome and super friendly. There are TV's on both sides of the bar and at the entrance of the restaurant. I was able to indulge in World Cup soccer. Happy Hour is from 4pm-6pm Monday - Friday. Quite a few items are marked down to $10 as are some of the cocktails. I started with a $10 Lamp Martini (Dirty Gin Martini). I liked it although, it was super mini. I can see why it was "only" $10. I'd prefer a regular sized glass. I can't believe they charge $1 for blue cheese olives. The bartender recommended the Caesar Salad and told me it was one of the best items on the menu. Super duper different. I've never had a Caesar salad like this one. It's like little sandwich bites of salad. I really liked it. These things lived up to the bartender hype. Then, I tried the $10 Deviled Eggs. They were pretty standard. Then, I had the $10 Chili Bomb Hummus. I love a really good hummus and this one was that. Up next, "The Best Espresso Martini in Orlando," Whoops, actually it wasn't this time the bartender lied to me. Wine Bar George still holds that title. I wish the espresso was brewed at the bar, but she told me it was from some place down the street. Lastly, I had the $14 Charred Cauliflower. I liked this thing too. I wish they made a spicy version. A huge space inside. A cool entrance to the bathrooms. Quite a few TV's to watch sports. A bit off the beaten path. A solid bar to have some drinks, watch sports, and get some bites.

This is not a sports bar, and I specifically chose it for a date because I expected a more relaxed atmosphere. Once the match ended, things improved and we could finally talk, but the place is still very loud overall. The cocktails were pretty basic, especially for $16 each. They weren't bad, but they lacked any creativity or presentation to justify the price. We sat at the bar, and I have to say the service was good. One more downside: there's no self-parking, only valet. It's $5, which isn't terrible, but it's still an inconvenience. Overall, the atmosphere felt too chaotic for what I was expecting, and I wouldn't come back.
