Typical old-school bar in DeBary, Florida. Not much in way of ambiance, as I said, it has that…read moreold-school bar atmosphere that you have seen in countless bars not only in Florida, but everywhere. Blackie's Bar has been here for decades. It has been here since I moved to Orlando, Florida back in 2001 and I believe that Blackie's Bar has been here since 1982. The staff is relatively friendly enough and I had no real issues. It was a decent enough place to grab a cold drink before meeting a few friends for dinner. If you are looking for a happening, hipster type bar, than Blackie's Bar is definitely not the place for you. This is the type of bar that caters 6 crowd that is more there in the bar to drink and not worry about ambiance or anything as frivolous as that. Lol. I guess I will give it four stars overall as just a typical old-school type bar.

The ambiance is warm, inviting, and cozy -- the kind of place that instantly makes you feel welcome. I was greeted right away by the lovely owner and her friendly staff, which made the experience even more special. They're currently offering a great Happy Hour special (Wed-Sat, 5-7 PM): a Lemon Drop or Espresso Martini paired with a pesto flatbread for just $15. I went with the Lemon Drop -- one of my favorites -- and it was perfectly balanced. While the pesto flatbread wasn't my personal favorite, it didn't take away from the overall experience. I also ordered the small charcuterie board, which was just right for a casual "girl dinner" moment. Thoughtfully arranged and ideal for light bites with wine. This was my second visit, and I'll definitely be back. I love supporting small businesses, especially ones that create a space where you can relax, sip, and unwind. Highly recommend!

The Capital Room in Orlando felt like the perfect gathering place for our little coven. I arrived…read morewith my friends and girlfriend, bringing a party nearly ten people deep, and we were fortunate enough to have our own table for the evening. The drinks were reasonably priced, beautifully presented, and genuinely delicious--an unusually powerful combination in the world of enchanted cocktails. The menu also changes frequently, with the offerings themed around different events and occasions, which gives each visit the feeling of opening a new spellbook. As a witch doctor in search of the perfect concoction to summon a certain deity, I sampled the offerings with great determination. Though the deity remained elusive, the drinks certainly brought the evening to life. The atmosphere was welcoming, the service was enjoyable, and the experience made for a memorable night with good company. If you're looking for delicious drinks, fair prices, and a menu with a little theatrical magic, the Capital Room is well worth visiting. Just be careful what you order--the next cocktail may awaken something ancient.

We came here from my friends breakfast brunch and I'm so glad she chose this restaurant. I was happy to see the unique dishes they offered. It was really hard to decide on what I wanted to eat with all the tempting options. I settled on chilaquiles because this dish is very hard to find. I am so glad I chose it as it hit the spot. It paired nicely with the bottomless mimosas and sangrias. Their restaurant is beautiful and has many photo worthy spots. They also have a bar towards the back of the restaurant and patio seedings as well. This place was located in downtown Sanford and gives you an opportunity to walk off all the delicious food you just inhaled. I definitely want to revisit this location and try the rest of the menu.

Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and you can tell there's real thought put into the food and presentation. We ended up staying for well over two hours just enjoying the whole experience -- the vibes, the music, the drinks, and the overall atmosphere were just so good. It felt cozy, lively, and welcoming all at the same time. The drinks were beautifully made and paired perfectly with the food, and the staff and crowd made the space feel fun and relaxed. It's one of those places you randomly find and then immediately want to gatekeep (but also tell everyone about). Truly such a great experience from start to finish. Can't wait to go back!

It's very Trader Sam's, including a lot of neat Disney memorabilia on the shelves on the walls behind the bar. Dark and stormy tiki bar vibes. The service was super friendly, and the food and bev came out very timely. The drinks were great, and they had a really nice mocktail menu. You can come and enjoy a nice drink without getting alcohol. We also ordered a burger from their limited food menu. It was very good. Not in competition for best burger in Orlando or anything, but the flavors were on point, and bun was nice and soft, and the furikake dusted crinkle cut fries were the perfect side item. Overall, this place was very cool, and if you haven't come here yet, you need to.

In town on a work trip, my husband, and I decided to try this place out! What a wonderful surprise! From the moment you walked in the eclectic, industrial, modernized, warm, cozy feel welcomes you in. Our server was friendly and attentive, and we knew right away that this place was a find! A wonderful happy hour menu, led us to a full menu of what felt like a farm to table experience. I sadly didn't get to snap a photo of the excellent appetizer buratta, but it was a perfect blend of balsamic tomato and creamy cheese! I am a true foodie, and this was hands-down the best burger I've ever eaten. My husband absolutely loved his shrimp and grits, perfectly cooked and well balanced flavor. Well, I know everyone recommends the chocolate cake, I can't rave enough about the crème brûlée. Do yourself a favor and go out of your way to enjoy a " private chef experience" meal! You will be glad you did!

Be careful where you put your drink, especially without a coaster as there is good chance that table you are setting it on is for sale.

It was ok, I think the bartender made it well, I was just not a fan of the flavoring. Sounded better than it was.

I did feel like it was a bit expensive for what you got though. I would be more apt to eat there often if I could order just 3 street tacos at $3/piece or so with no rice and beans.
