Great little dive bar I have driven past a hundred times but never stopped until tonight…read more We were on our way home from Tavares and stopped by to meet up with a few friends. Upon entering we realized one of our favorite bands was playing here tonight, Monticelli, sweet!! These brothers are the best, what a serendipity:) It's a bummer we got here so late but we were able to catch the end of their second set and most of their third set. They even played Megadeth for me, sweet! It wasn't too busy at the bar, mostly locals but it took forever to get a drink. I don't know if the bartender was new but she couldn't tell me the price for a bottled yuengling. She said she needed my name for a tab and I told here I'm paying cash, so how much? She said it depends on which band is playing, what???? Anyway I ended up just taking the beer and went to watch the band because she never returned to take my money. When I went to cash out before leaving it still took her 5 min to figure out what I owed for one beer really??? It ended up costing $5, great. Wish I knew that from the get go. The bar is a decent size and they have a large open area where they can set up more tables if needed. There is also a decent sized dance floor and stage for local bands. The sound was decent and lighting was passable for a dive bar. The men's restroom only has one toilet and urinal in a shared stall, a bit weird but it will due. They have a large parking lot with plenty of parking, which is great for crowds or food truck parties. All-n-all, a great place to hang with friends, have a cold beer, and listen to live music.

Nice dive bar…read more Surprisingly empty when we strolled in on a Fri night around 11pm. Sanford nightlife seems to have not yet fully recovered from the 'stay home' plague of 2020. Bartender was very pleasant. $6 bottle beer. She mentioned in passing she's closing at 2am. No food. But touch tunes is always welcome entertainment. As we were leaving about midnight, the place had suddenly filled to half capacity. Pleasant bartender; pleasant clientele; pleasant music; comfortable bar seats means we'll go back. Nice dive bar.

So there's Shakeria J. who we all know and love, but then there's SJ. She's also one to love, but…read moreshe's a party animal and only comes out every so often. Maybe annually, if that. This bar definitely met SJ. It's the first bar I've been to that doesn't serve food- nothing but drinks, so what do you expect?! Marcus and I walked in and knew we would order an appetizer and a drink each and leave, but remember they don't serve food, so we got drinks. I opted for the lemon drop as a drink while Marcus got the blue Long Island- both very strong and delicious. Jazz the bartender was great at concealing the alcohol flavor. She was extremely pleasant and upbeat, too! After the first drink, a pair of siblings who happened to be the only other two customers at the bar ordered Marcus and I a drink, so we did a round together. At this point, we're two drinks in, the music is going and the conversation is flowing- who are we not to return the favor and order another round? Boom! Another round! The rounds are going, the music is right, and we're dancing. In comes an older group, we order drinks together and now we're all dancing! It's about ten of us at this point aged 21-65 of all different backgrounds buying rounds, drinking and dancing. Uh oh SJ does a split and the party has just turnt up a notch...you had to be there! Did I mention it was a clean and played a variety of music because that's true as well! Great bar! Highly recommend lol.

I got the funky daiquiri and it was strong and delicious not too sweet at all. The bartender was so nice and funny, I think I'll have to stop in here more often. FYI the drinks and food are a bit cheaper than going inside of Otto's high dive.

Historic Cigars is located next door to the Historic Bar in Longwood. It is a great little spot. It…read moreis cozy and quaint in size. There is seating indoors and ample seating outdoors. The staff were kind and the service was really good. It was not super busy either, which aided in the service being pretty speedy. As I do not smoke cigars, I cannot speak to that per se. However, they have BOGO wine down Wednesdays (buy a glass and get a glass free) - which is why I got the chance to finally visit Historic Cigars. The pricing is pretty good - especially for a BOGO special. I will definitely be back to visit.

It's very spacious inside and it didn't seem too cramped even when it was semi-filled. The tables are in decent shape, the sticks are a bit crooked, but it's good cheap indoor fun. Like most places I go, they charge by the hour and you can have as many people as you want (within reason). You should bring your own shoes too as I didn't see a shoe rental.

Surprisingly, it was freezing outside, and everyone was in sweaters. This small, but adorable country cabin themed, outdoor bar is part of Wekiva island. All the staff looked like they were having a good time, and were pretty quick at noticing when you needed service. There was a food truck serving lots of dishes to include vegetarian plates too. I went with French fries which were cooked to perfection, and perfect temperature to combat the cold weather. After eating we were able to find seats on the music side of the bar. We enjoyed our beers while we watched Matt Burke perform live. They have a lot of options of beers on tap and can. You will definitely find something you like here if you're a beer person. Even a few Florida beers to choose from. Overall, this was such an amazing evening. Got to enjoy Santa, cold weather, and good music to help us settle in on Christmas in our new city. Also helped us to get over our fear that we were going to miss all the action in Orlando being out here at the state park, but clearly the party is always happening out here.

Chez Alcatraz is the Jaws themed bar located in the San Francisco Area of the park in Universal…read moreOrlando. Recently, it has been refurbished and moved back slightly as well as seeming to be larger. It is extremely popular so it would not surprise me if they did make it larger. This is just a walk up bar, no seating at the bar, it is all grab and go. They only serve wine, beer and mixed drinks, but they have a pretty stacked bar. They do not sell food, however, there are a few food options located very close by. The last time we were here, there were a few tables near the water and around the bar, but I'm not sure if they are permanent. This bar usually has a long line and waits. It's not super hidden and their drinks are good, so I don't really understand why it gets so long. The line also moves slow. I think the main reason for this is because this is home to the famous Ocean Attack cocktail: Don Q coconut rum, blue curaçao, pineapple juice, Sprite, dash of grenadine. When you order this, it comes with a little show, the bartender gets into the drink with a shark hand. Everyone is ordering it and it takes longer because they have to do their little skit with each drink. My wife likes this drink, she says its tasty but incredibly dangerous. She says you cannot really taste the alcohol but it hits you later. For me personally, it is a little sweet with the coconut rum, pineapple juice and sprite. It is not my favorite, I probably wouldn't really order one for myself. I prefer to just get beer when we stop here. As I mentioned they do have a full bar, so if you do not like one of their specialty drinks, you can order your own or your favorite. As I mentioned the line can get long, but I personally do like this stop. We do not always stop here, if the line is really long, we skip it and head somewhere else. They do have really good cocktails, great theming with Jaws and its another bar. My wide and I like to do crawls when we are in the park so if you are doing that, I would say add it to your list. My only complaint is there are no seats at the bar and they don't serve any food. I think some really great themed snacks would go perfect here. Currently they are celebrating Jaws 50th, so there is a food booth very close by serving food options and the bar has a special themed cup you can purchase for $4 extra. I would say add this to your list to stop at on your next visit. ACES!
