Such a cozy hidden gem in downtown Mount Dora. While walking upstairs, I never expected it to open…read moreup such a beautiful sunroom with ambient lighting and coil drinks stopped for happy hour and was able to see that the crowd was bustling. The staff was inviting and the drinks were flowing. I've heard about this place from many of people and always thought about going there at night but I'm glad I stopped by for happy hours so I can actually see it was like before the crowds got too wild. It's definitely someplace that's worth checking out and experiencing.

Even on a busy Friday evening, I was able to snag a cozy round table in the back for my friend and me, which was a pleasant surprise. Bonus points for the upstairs bathrooms not requiring a code (unlike the ones downstairs)--a small but appreciated detail! I ordered an espresso martini that was dairy-free (which I love), but it ended up being a bit too sweet and slightly watery for my taste. I only took a few sips before deciding not to finish it--not bad, just not quite for me. Since I was the DD, I didn't bother swapping it out, but it was still the right call. My friend's gin cocktail, on the other hand, was light, mild, and super refreshing--she loved it! Also, shoutout to the bartender for bringing the drinks over to our table--such a nice touch. I'd absolutely come back and give another cocktail a try. The atmosphere & service alone makes it worth a return visit!

Stopped in the bar for lunch as a 4 top on a Tuesday about 230pm. Bar stools were taken up by…read morepatrons so we still had inside outside seating choices. Ambiance was rustic with beautiful views of the lake. Chose the comfort of inside with the a/c. The bartender was doing it all, and doing it well. He greeted us took drinks and menu order. We dined on chicken pot pie with side salad, blackened chicken wrap with cole slaw, French dip with fries and a Reuben with cole slaw. Everything was hot, delicious and plentiful. The hotel and restaurant have been around since early 1900 and big part of the history of Mt. Dora. Enjoy!

I said that's no problem and we can wait. Was put on hold again and when she came back was told they cannot accommodate 6 people at all today?? They are open until 8:30pm and it is 12pm right now. We would have had no problem waiting to anytime but was flat out told they do not want us to come in.

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.
