    Finally got to check out Primrose Lanes and had a great time! Lots to do and really great vibe. Space was clean and lively and Service was excellent. The bowling is old school with old tired balls, but you're not going for an excellent bowling experience, your going there to bowl and skate and eat food and have a good drinks. The bowling was a little expensive, but I understand they have happy hour deals. Food was bar food, slightly better, and the drinks were on point. This is a great spot

    SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP

    This bowling alley is definitely more than just a bowling alley! There is also an arcade, a skating rink, several other activities, and a sports bar! We came in and had some food in the sports bar first. I got the spinach artichoke dip and it was super creamy and tasty. The chips were also very crunchy and fresh. The food was a little pricey but expected for this type of place. We then went over to the bowling alley and it was really nice! You pay per hour (again a little pricey but not anything crazy) and the lanes have a really cool look to them. The staff was friendly and the place was pretty clean.

    This was my first time at primrose and immediately saw there was a lot to do here and it's very aesthetic. They have two different bars in the main area, bowling lanes, arcades, and a skating rink. We had a reservation for a bowling lane and have sufficient bowling balls. Unfortunately, it seems as though the lanes themselves are on a slope and veer toward one direction so we had to start accounting for that. Secondly, the computer kept miscalculating points throughout the night which took time away from our game time. We tried different food and drink items. I'm partial to skinny fries so I enjoyed that. The crispy onions were a little burnt but the drinks were all enjoyable and there's a few specials you can find on their menu. The staff were friendly and checked on us throughout our stay to ensure we were good on drinks and food.

    A group of 6 of us went to Primrose for a Love Island watch party and had the best time! The food was delicious, the service was attentive, the sports lounge was comfortable and built for entertainment. The TV stacks were like a mini sportsbook, with booths along the back and comfortable stadium style seats on the floor. The room was packed for the event, and the food and drinks were fresh and prompt. The seasoning on the fries was amazing, and the steak sandwich was perfectly tender (with the sauce on the side so no soggy bun!).

    Pornstar martini

    I really enjoyed Primrose Lanes. I was invited here for a Galentine Night out for Karaoke. This was my first time here so I was excited . This place has a nice ambiance. The bowling area isn't huge which I love. They have more than one bar & you can rent the karaoke room for 2 hour increments. My friend booked the room from 8pm-10pm. She was also able to decorate. We had so much fun. The food and drinks were delicious. They have HH and daily drink specials . You cannot mix and match so I decided for drinks to order the pornstar martini which was 2 for $20 instead of one for $14 . For food I ordered the chicken Cesar salad wrap which came with fries. The pornstar drink was def strong so I didn't need ANYMORE. The wrap. Is huge so I ate the fries and one 1/2 of the wrap and took the rest to go. I also tried my friends wings they were just ok ( I would have liked the wings fried harder) . I also had mozzarella sticks & spinach & artichoke dip. The customer service was great there was always someone checking on us and taking new orders . We had such a great time , I will def be back for bowling.

    martinis and darts

    Love that there is parking close by. We popped in to check it out after a coffee date on a Saturday. First things first, it's not a big place and if you don't have a reservation for a lane, it will be tough for you to bowl. We opted instead to play darts and take advantage of their martini special (2 for $20 I think it was?). The drink was boozy and tasty. All the games, photo booths, etc. are pay to play which is expected. We played a few rounds of darts which was super fun! They do have a karaoke room that was complete with costumes. I will definitely have to do that at some point. I feel like this place gets busy and is often booked for corporate events. I tried to reserve a couple of lanes for my birthday in December and they had no availability for the times. When I called they had a buyout. So the key learning is RESERVE RESERVE RESERVE!

    I love this place! It's catty corner to Festival Park. This is my 2nd time in after an event at the park. Jason, one of the managers, was great, and gave us a full tour the first time around. He also told us a bit about the history of the place. It dates back to the 50s as Colonial Lanes. It is much smaller than it was previously but 8 of the lanes are original. The wood for the bar was made out.of a couple of the original lanes. The whole bar overlooking the bowling lanes. They also offer a karaoke room for rent. The outside is very retro looking and I was surprised by the ambiance and decor inside. Although it is retro inside, there are many modern aspects to it. I was expecting a smoke filled place but it is so clean with not a hint of cigarette smells. They offer food and drink. Ive tried their burgers and the dry rubbed wings. Both were excellent. The wings were crispy and served with a delicious blue cheese. The burger was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. They offer a full bar. Martinis are 2 for $20 and the bartenders are awesome and very personable. Bunny took great care of us the first time around. We didn't get a chance to see her tonight but the male bartender there was also very good. If you are near the Milk District, trust me on this, just stop in.

    ALL BEEF HOT DOG

    Was out having a girls day and went in for a drink. As you walk in it's very nicely decorated and spacious. The bowling areas looked fun. We went to the bar area and our bartender Bunny was AMAZING!!! Super friendly and attentive. I had the Martini special which is probably the best deal I the area. Tried the porn star and French bowler both were very good! One was sweeter than the other but were good sweetness to alcohol ratio. Also had mini pretzels and all beef hot dog. Both were good and portion was on point! We had one of the employees ask if we wanted to try a new drink they were testing and it was delicious! I believe it was pineapple and tequila with something else I can let remember. But it was so good, hope it makes it on the menu for the next time I visit!

    The food and drinks aren't bad here. The HH menu also is from 3-6pm on weekdays, which offers 50% their cocktails. I got the purple gin (not too sweet) and the margaritas. Also tried the martinis: espresso is good and strong (could use more espresso flavor but that's my preference), dirty (way too much brine for me), and french bowler (sweet and fruity). I got the chicken Caesar wrap which was decent, and the burger was decent too. Sweet potato waffles and shoestring fries were all good. Potato skins are a little different in using pimento cheese and pepper jelly - I liked it. They also have a karaoke room inside as well that we tried and had fun in.

    They've got some janky junkie lanes that needs to be restored. Got the worst end lane where a lot of the wood has been beat up and chunks of it were missing Seems like they put in money for their multiple bars and game areas because it did look cool but I thought this was going to be a upscale bowling alley The lane had issues 3 times during the hour which ate up the hourly charge. The pins wouldn't get counted correctly on the scoreboard and kept putting the wrong amount of pins for the next throw or restarting with the incorrect amount of pins. Had to wait for help also but they needed to see it happen in action but it stopped messing up once that happened, of course Also the shoes were terrible, no slip and slide action so I got stuck and almost face planted on my first throw. The 2nd pair were a little better but not much. Lighter balls were hard to find and didn't seem to be much available which made us stuck having to share the lighter balls with the neighboring customers I can see how people can be attracted to their 2 for 1 martinis deal & the Sunday and Monday $10 per person, per hour bowling deal but this place needs to fix their lanes up. I would look for other places for decent bowling instead of here. This was a terrible experience and would not come back for bowling here

    I visited Primrose Lanes with a group of 4 on a Wednesday night. Originally we had planned to visit a different local bowling spot but alas, it was league night! Primrose Lanes felt a little expensive (disclaimer: I am by no means an expert on average bowling prices in the year 2025), but it was a fun vibe and the staff was nice. At our reserved lane, the food and beverage service was excellent, the cocktails we had were great and the food was good. One thing I will say is that most of the food is finger food, which is a little awkward when you have a limited amount of time to bowl and you have to switch between handling a greasy ball and greasy food. Next time I would skip the food for that reason alone--but would be nice to see them add more snacks that require a fork to mitigate the problem. If I were more into bowling, I would most likely return! Since I'm more of a candlepin bowler, I might stop by the bar for a drink sometime instead.

    Old Fashioned and Watermelon Margarita
    Luke B.

    I was really looking forward to coming here ever since they opened. My wife and I decided to come on a Monday for happy hour. Some company was having their work happy hour in the front room, so It was pretty busy and we sat at the bigger bar next to the lanes. The whole place looked really nice, definitely a cooler vibe for a bowling alley. Happy hour has $5 off cocktails, so we ordered a Watermelon Margarita and an Old Fashioned. This is where things kinda fell off. The watermelon margarita looked and tasted like a regular margarita. When we asked the bartender if it was the right drink, she simply said yeah and walked away. I'm sure she gets this question all the time, but where's the explanation? So now we're sitting there left to wonder if Primrose Lanes uses a watermelon tequila or perhaps a fresh watermelon juice, both of which presumably would look and taste like watermelon, or if the bartender was trained to make it wrong in the first place. Also, my old fashioned was light on alcohol. Regardless, we were hungry, so we ordered the Potato Skins with pimento cheese and pepper jelly. Pretty good, I've never had skins like this; almost like a southern deviled egg style. They're extremely rich, so I would definitely share with 3 friends. When it came time to order a second round, the bartender never came back. We saw her making cocktails for the big work party, so we waited. And waited. Eventually, we decided to forgo the second round and go to another bar. I flagged her down once she looked in our direction (the only people at the bar btw) and we tabbed out. I could definitely see myself coming back here for a work event/happy hour with bowling, but for drinks and a hang, I'll probably head to one of the other TMG spots.

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.

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.

We looked over the happy hour menu (good all day on Monday nights and Tuesday through Friday 5-7pm). We ask Mel about the "Bartender's Choice" selection under happy hour drinks. She said the bartender will mix a drink of their preference. The customer cannot choose the alcohol or any mixers as the bartender makes the decisions all by him or herself. Mel asked if we had any allergies or any other issues that might affect the drinks the bartender would like to make. We said we did not and we decided to take on this "choice" experience. Serena was the bartender of the evening and she did an amazing job. She mixed up various concoctions for us throughout the night (we ordered a second round after the first one) and we enjoyed every drink she prepared. The presentation of the drinks were also well done. Serena's cocktails consisted of bourbon, rum, and various ingredients which could include bitters, lemon, agave or other cocktail mixers. She was the bartender extraordinaire of the evening. For food, we ordered the half dozen chicken wings (2 orders since they were so good) and the pizza empanadas to start. The two empanadas had mozzarella cheese stuffed inside and were served with a warm marinara. From the main menu, we ordered the Faroe Island Salmon, which was served on a bad of risotto and tomato butter, with capers. The portion of the salmon was somewhat small for the price of $28, but it and the risotto were cooked perfectly. We ended the night with their signature drink, "Death in the Afternoon" which contains absinthe and is one of my favorite drinks here in Orlando. It was another five star experience and my friend found a new restaurant she now loves. All in all, a great night thanks to the attentiveness and easy-going attitude of Mel, our server, and the exceptional cocktails from the bartender, Serena. Thank you both for a job very well done!

We ordered the buffalo chicken egg rolls and the deviled eggs (with no bacon) as appetizers. For our new drinks we got margaritas, I got a regular margarita and my partner got a passion fruit margarita. For entrees, I had the famous fried chicken and my hubby had the meatloaf. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice, relaxed, they keep the shades lowered during the day to reduce that sun intake and it's lovely. It feels nice and relaxed in here no matter the weather outside. Again, we enjoyed the experience but the service was fairly slow. We had to pretty much know what we wanted by the next time we saw our server or flag her down to get her attention. She was waiting about 4 tables on our area. We were party of two.

    Super cute bar and shop in East End Market!…read more We came in for an appetizer and a drink, while we waited on our reservation at Domu , and it seemed like a lot of others were doing the same! Our server was very kind and she gave us recommendations for appetizers and my friends chose the garlic bread and the whipped feta. Both were very delicious! The whipped feta had this sweet jam paired with it. I got a tequila cocktail, I forget the name, but it ended up being a little too sweet for my liking. Their little ship had cute Knick knacks and the ambiance was very warm and welcoming! I would love to come back to try more food and cocktails!

    I'd somehow walked through East End Market countless times before realizing there was a bar tucked…read moreupstairs--and now I'm wondering what took me so long! The Neighbors is a cozy little hideaway that's perfect for grabbing a drink after exploring the market. We had already eaten downstairs, so we just stopped in for a couple of cocktails, and it was the perfect way to wind down. The service was warm, friendly, and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. Just a heads-up: seating is pretty limited, so I'd recommend arriving a little earlier if you're visiting during peak hours. Whether you're looking for a pre-dinner drink or a nightcap after browsing East End Market, this spot is definitely worth checking out.

    What a way to start the weekend. I had been in shade before just to stop in for a cocktail. I…read morereally enjoyed their espresso martini and the white kimono. But this time, I actually got to dine in for an appetizer and get a different drink. This place is always packed and vibrant and lively. We decided on the place last minute. Definitely recommend making a reservation. We were lucky to get two seats at the bar - the last two in fact. I got the transparency issue and it was what the bartender called "adult juice." it was sweet, but also very light in floral with the rose essence. Great alternative to my usual drink. My friend got the coco craze and WOW! I was impressed. The drink was so tasty and refreshing and yes, it was THC infused. We asked the bartender how much approximately the drink contained and she said about 6 mg for this drink and the other two drinks offered were 5 mg. I would get it next time for sure. I chose to have the pork belly to have a bite, and it was so tasty. The slaw and the pork belly went so well together, and it was a good combo of savory and sweet! On Fridays, they do have a DJ in the evening.I have not been on Saturday or Sunday to confirm if they do then but it definitely adds to the ambiance. She was great! Definitely a nice place to get together with friends, they do offer happy hour for drinks as well as an oyster special on Tuesdays. I know they have brunch menu, so maybe one day I'll be popping in for brunch to check it out.

    Lamp and Shade was such a fun experience. The tapas-style menu is excellent, and the portions are…read moresurprisingly generous, so you get to try a variety of dishes without leaving hungry. Everything we ordered was flavorful and well done. One tip: make sure to check the very back pages of the drink menu -- that's where the specialty cocktails are hidden, and they're absolutely worth it. They also use a drink strength rating system, and trust the numbers -- they are very accurate. The atmosphere is great too. They play music inside, but it's at the perfect volume where you can still comfortably have conversations without yelling across the table. Between the food, drinks, and overall vibe, it made for a really enjoyable night out. Definitely a spot worth coming back to.
