Great place for meeting friends for a beer. They have a pretty good selection of craft beers local and afar. The knock to 3 stars is for the consistently spotting service. read more

The parking for Redlight Redlight wasnt that great, it's on the street and a very small lot. For a Thurs night, parking was hard to find. I was kind of wary of going to Redlight Redlight at first because it was right across from the Roxy Nightclub (which I detest like none other) but stepping in, the atmosphere was completely different from the one across the street. Inside.... it's a dim, dive-y looking bar. The menu is written in chalk with the featured beers. It's a beer bar, so don't expect any liquor. They accept credit cards now (which I read in the older reviews that they accept cash only in the past) so no worries about stopping by an ATM before heading in. The bartenders were very friendly and were very helpful on suggesting beers if you are unsure what to order. They have a huggggge selection of craft beers on tap and bottle beers. Also, they match each beer to a certain beer glass to get the best taste. On Thursdays, they have live jazz music which I thought was awesome. They stop around midnight or so. The people in the bar also all seemed chill and friendly. Most of the crowd seemed to be in their late 20's or so. None of those silly underage college kids! I'm a fan. :) read more

Good beer selection. Different environment than Milk Bar.......and not necessarily in a "good" or "bad" way, just different. I think after trying here as well as Milk Bar, I feel a little more at home at Milk Bar. The air conditioning definitely works here, and that's a good thing. If you are looking for a divey type bar with great beer selections, this is your bar. If you are looking for a smaller yet intimate conversational place to hang, I'd try Milk Bar. Both are unique and cool but different in their own way. read more

Simple and to the point. It's all about beer. Eat before you come because they don't serve food or snacks. Great selection of beer and chilled atmosphere. read more

Redlight Redlight Brewpub - Pubs Near Me - Orlando, Florida

My friend and I went here after reading an article which named it as one of the top ten bars in Orlando. From the outside the place is very unassuming, tucked away in a strip plaza. It seemed very quiet when we walked in, but we walked around to the right and found that the place was much larger than we originally thought. The vibe was pretty cool, but a bit on the hipster side for me. I love all the exposed duct work in the ceiling. It makes it feel large and open. There were lots of tables with lots of groups so this would be a good place to come with a group. They have a wide selection of beers and we made the unfortunate mistake of ordering wine. We had been drinking wine all night and didn't want to ruin that. We should have! The wines we had were terrible and the glasses even had marks on them to show the bartender where to fill them to. I would come here again, but I would definitely get beer. read more

Redlight Redlight Brewpub - Quantum Leap White Wine. - Pubs Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Great selection of craft beers (duh!). Has a clean and inviting atmosphere with plenty of seating options for both individuals and groups. Specifically, there is a nice contrast to the lighting/seating scheme. * Front/entrance: sparsely lit and intimate, with circular high tops for smaller parties nestled in a tight corridor. * Rear: well lit with Oktoberfest vibe. Plenty of traditional wooden chairs and large tables/booths, which may be easily repositioned thanks to an open floor plan. -------- I was here on a Saturday evening (~10pm-2am), and the place was moderately dead. Not empty, but far fewer patrons than one would expect. Note: They do not serve liquor. Keeps with the theme of the establishment, but can definitely be a surprise. 5 stars for beer selection 3 stars for rude attitude of the female bartender 4.5 stars for aesthetics read more

Redlight Redlight Brewpub - Low quality grab from Snapchat-can see minor amounts of rear layout - Pubs Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Redlight Redlight is a great place to grab a craft beer or wine if you are looking for a chill place to go. They have a great variety to choose from both local and far. my favorite was the left hand cream pale ale. They also have beer flights to choose from. They have local food trucks that come by throughout the week if you want some food as well. Plenty of parking in the shopping center and very casual. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my first (and probably last, since I was on vacation) visit to Redlight, Redlight. They had been highlighted in a magazine I picked up at another brewery, so we made a point to stop by. The location is in a strip mall - we found ample parking in the back lot, where I would not have parked if I was alone - and very close to the P Is For Pie bake shop (definitely stop by if you can; it was closed when we were there but looked delicious). Anyway. Redlight, Redlight has a large space here, with tables both in the smaller front and the bigger back room and a wrap-around bar with lots of seating. They have tons of bottles and cans available, seemingly in every variety one could ask for, and have a few wines available, both bottled and on tap (!). We looked through the beer list for the day and were a little disappointed that most of the beers come from far away. We ended up sharing 4 half-pours; first we shared the Fyne & Wild Cool as a Cucumber (not my favorite) and the Paletas Watermelon (fruity and good), then we wanted to try some local beers so we went with the Coppertail Night Swim (very good) and Redlight, Redlight's own Gratzer Saison (also good). I've only been here the one time, but my biggest disappointment was that they didn't seem to make more of an effort to highlight local beers. It's nice to get to go to a place where you don't see Coors, Bud, etc. readily available, but it would have been nice to get to sample more Orlando, or Florida in general, beers while we were there. I LOVE the atmosphere - it felt very much like my favorite local place (Knuckleheads) but on a larger scale. The clientele was diverse and most seemed like people I would enjoy speaking with, which is always nice. The staff was also really friendly and would stop and chat with us as they passed by; even trying to get us to come to an event being held the next week, although we mentioned we were leaving the next morning. I hope this place stays around - they've got a good thing going. read more

RLRL isn't the closest of brewery/bars to my house, this is likely the only reason I don't frequent it more than I do. Upon last night's visit there were about 25 beers on tap and what I love about RLRL over my other favorite brewery is that there is a bigger selection of beers that rotates more often. At 9 on a Friday night there was only 1 seat at the bar, so my husband and I grabbed a table. It took a little while to have our order taken, but once it was we quickly received our beers, a big carafe of water and two glasses that the waitress poured water into for us. *Having water at a bar is a bonus, thank you RLRL and The Woods - the only two places I've been to that have done this. Such a small thing, but so nice to have when wanted. By 10pm there were a number of seats available at the bar, so maybe we will go later next time if we want to sit there and talk to the staff about what's on tap, etc. read more

I really enjoy this place. The beer selection is great. Sometimes you get a bartender who will sit and chat, they are pretty cool. But often they are chatting with regulars or running around working. All of which is cool and understandable. I love the venue. It is a huge, open room with a large bar in the center. You have many options for sitting, but I enjoy outside on the sidewalk. Corrine isn't a very busy street, so it keeps pretty quiet. read more

Redlight Redlight Brewpub - Cigar City's Florida Cracker - Pubs Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This was my first time visiting the new location and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised! Very nice and open feel to the interior. Keep very clean and well lit. There so much space toward the back of the building, I hope to see a small stage set up with some live music in there soon! Onto the beer: This place has an amazing selections of craft beers that only few places in Orlando can compare. I enjoyed 3 IPA's I had never even heard of (a rarity for me). All of which were equally delicious! Cant wait to come back with a group. read more

Redlight Redlight Brewpub - Wonderful Weyerbacher Last Chance IPA that help support doggies! - Pubs Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This has easily become one of our fav places to grab a beer! I had never been here before and so sad I didn't know about it until now. The venue is huge indoor and outdoor seating which is great. They have the bar area you can sit at as well as tables and stuff for bigger groups. They had a huge screen that was showing some movie which was nice then your average loud music ... my fiancé and I had a nice conversation while we sipped some beer. They also had some Thai food being sold which is always a great idea when your grabbing a few drinks! Loved the vibe and the employees were very friendly!! They had beer on tab as well and like 100 different kinds in bottle. Literally if you love any kind of beer this is your place for a cool chill date night or night out with friends. read more

I'm not a big beer fan but I like this place. It's very spacious and clean with a circular layout/bar, so there's seating in the front, sides, and back of the place. Basically there's always seating available. I liked that the bartenders are very attentive and efficient and they play good music. It's sad that they do not serve food, however there's usually one food truck out at night. The have an extensive beer and wine list with a lot of variety and styles. Parking is limited but there's parking spaces out back. read more

The best place we visited during our stay in Orlando! This is the type of place that's super popular even on week nights. They had an amazing taco food truck outside to help soak up all of that delicious beer you're drinking inside and they even deliver it right to your table! The shrimp tacos were just what I needed. The beer list is rather expansive. I stuck with the draft list, but they had tons in bottles as well. Our server was awesome and dealt with our table's shenanigans with pose and grace. I don't think I would have been able to maintain my composure the way she did. I was excited to see that they did, in fact, brew their own beer, but I only saw two: a saison and a sour. I tried both and although the sour was my favorite, they were both solid. This is definitely the place to have good beer in Orlando. I'd love to come back if I'm in the area again. read more

This is a difficult review to write: Redlight Redlight is one of my favorite bars in Orlando but it's an enormous mistake callibg RLRL a bar. There are some very not-bar aspects to Redlight Redlight: - There's no cheap domestics here -Bud is not available on draft or by the can. - No cocktails either. Redlight Redlight takes their beer parlor-ness to heart. Their constantly changing menu features an ever rotating list of worldly drafts from down the street to across the planet which is complimented by an extensive bottle. If you're a true beer aficionado a leather bound, rare beer menu is also available. For regulars, a Citizen program is offered which provides a tour of the vast world of beer right from your bar stool. Completion of this program entitles you to citizen status and special events. Not content to simply serve beer Redlight Redlight now also brews their own making them both observer and participant in the realm of craft beer. Given the high standards they place on any beer under their roof you can rest assured that anything you choose to drink with have been made, selected and presented with the heart of every true beer lover in-mind. read more

This place has the most amazing beer list I've ever seen! I had fun trying new beers from everywhere! This is a must stop and visit for any beer geek! read more

Beer, beer, beeeeeeeeeeeeeer. Redlight Redlight is one of those places that I would bring visitors to when showing off Orlando. It has a spacious interior that is larger on the inside than it appears, a long bar to pull up a stool at, and dim lighting with lots of wood and metal elements. I've enjoyed all the beers I've had here, and I appreciate that they currently have a good representation of sours, including a unique sour stout. The staff is friendly and attentive, though on slow nights I recommend heading over to the bar to grab your beers before heading to a table. I wish there were more food options nearby for a late night snack, but that's not something I'm too hung up on. It does get pretty loud on busy nights, so if you're looking for something more intimate consider Winter Park Beer Company a block away. read more

I'm extremely glad that they moved from their original location AND they now take cards instead of cash only. SWEET! The Good Stuff: + Non smoking inside (I don't have to set my clothes on fire after a visit!) + TONS of craft beers. Don't know what you like? Ask for advice, it's happily given. Be adventurous! + Happy hour (5-7, I believe) with discounts on certain beers + Laid back atmosphere and clientele + Various events (art shows, beer/cupcake pairing, movie nights, bands performing, etc) + Prices are often reasonable, depending on your selection + Super close to my house (okay, that one is a little biased!) + A good amount of outside seating to accompany those that like to punish their lungs AND livers ;) The Not-So-Good Stuff: - Parking can be tricky, so get there early/on-time for events - Neighboring establishments are tow-happy. I've been towed before so be careful where you park! If you have to leave your car, just let the bar staff know. They'll hook you up! - Right across from Roxy (bleh!) If you haven't made it out yet, do it! Just don't be stupid and order something silly like Miller lite and you'll fit in just fine! read more

HIPSTERS! HIPSTERS! HIPSTERS! Now, if you can get by that and truly want to have a good evening, give this place a shot. The beer selection is outstanding. After all, "beer is the new wine". If you like people-watching and judging those that judge, this is the place to be. TIP #1: Feel free to look happy in this place...it'll help you stand out. TIP #2: If you've been debating pulling the trigger on those awesome pair of denim manpris at the vintage clothing store...NOW IS THE TIME. TIP #3: Do not bring up Lena Dunham. This should be true for anytime in life, however, especially here. There is nothing more polarizing that will lead to the most mind-numbing conversation you could possibly have with someone that spent 45 minutes getting ready to look homeless. TIP #4: Do not bike here with a 10-Speed Beach Cruiser. You might as well be pulling up in a Hummer. Fixed Gear only! TIP #5: If at any point in your life you contemplated growing a handlebar mustache, this would probably be the appropriate place to wear one. It may take a little while for it to come in just right, but the payoff with the Zooey Deschanel looking hipster (that's not a hipster) bragging about the benefit of Yoga and the Halasana position is well worth the wait. TIP #6: Be careful with the craft beers. Some of these contain up to three times the amount of alcohol as your middle of the road lager. You go home with Zooey and wake up with Lena. Godspeed. read more

My sister recommended visiting RLRL when I suggested attending the Funky Buddha Tap Takeover earlier in the month. Unbeknownst to me, I've driven past RLRL on several occasions while visiting my sister's neighborhood in Orlando, and had I been hip the craft beer culture in Orlando, I would have discovered this gem sooner. The wrap around refrigerator case caught my eye as soon as we cleared the threshhold. There wasn't a single empty seat at the bar, but as luck would have it, we were able to lay claim to a nice little four-top in a corner after buying our first round. The printed selection of drafts is very helpful, but what piqued my interest was the massive variety of bottled beverages in the cases. From what I gathered there isn't a comprehensive list of all the in stock items, but I'd be willing to volunteer to help assemble one. ;) What I love is the hole-in-the-wall local flavor RLRL provides. The crowd tends to be those in their late 20s-early 30s minus the college shenanigans or pretentiousness of the upwardly mobile. You can enjoy your beer in peace as others guests do their best to help maintain the simple, quiet atmosphere. The Parking is the only thing that made my visit stressful. Even on a week night, if folks are planning to attend an event, it becomes the Hunger Games for parking. Many of the other retailers and restaurants in the strip have placarded parking with the standing threat to tow away those not entering their specific establishment. Oh, and Ladies rejoice, the bathroom has several stalls, two sinks, and a giant mirror for your nose powdering needs. ;) read more

Premier CRAFT beer bar in Orlando, and probably all of the Southeast and beyond... One poll ranked this bar as number 4 in the world. Redlight Redlight has an impressive selection of microbrews and imports that will knock your boots off. They rotate inventory regularly to keep it interesting too. 4 nitro taps, 2 hand drawn kegs, upwards of 16 beers on tap and hundreds of bottles and cans. If you're totally lost, there are laminated beer menus around that will make your night out much easier. It's a well designed listing that puts beer into categories, describes the aroma and flavoring and indicates the ABV value. You'll learn about beer by default. Prices are very modest here. A good assortment at the $3 price range including Oskar Blues Mama's Little Yella Pils, Zywiec (16oz tall), Lagunitas Pils and a few others. Any other bar in town charges over $4 for any of these. Like stouts? How about a 20oz draft of Left Hand Milk Stout for a mere $4 smackers? Or a Dunedin Brewmaster's Reserve Stout that has more depth and is even easier to drink than Guinness. :O If you want to indulge, there is plenty to choose from as well. High end, high alcohol content beers are abound! Nightly happy hour specials that are hard to beat, i.e. $2 off on select styles of beer, which, as I said above tend to fall around $4 to begin with... Bar is NON-smoking, but there is a large patio for those who need a puff. Staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Some people complain about service when it's busy, but honestly this is a specialty bar that requires your patience. Some beers take 3 minutes to pour, etc. Live music multiple days a week, and mostly good stuff. Ca$H only, but there is an ATM inside. read more

I've been to RR's last location and their new location in Audubon Park. I know some love the small cozy feeling of the old location, but I love the new open/warehouse feeling of the new location. The bar = huge. The beers = amazing. The staff = great and knowledgeable. Nothing worse than asking the tender what is "XYZ" beer and have them stare at you as if you're from another planet. I get that enough already from the general population, no need for that at one of my favorite bars. :) The location is better for parking, although it can be tight as the night gets later. The surrounding businesses don't seem to happy about it, but hey, they should embrace it! No food is served at RR, if you're not familiar with them, just letting you know. But, a sushi place two doors down will gladly take your order and deliver it! Perfect! I like the seating in the front, lower ceiling, more intimate for smaller groups. Around the back side of the bar, tall warehouse ceiling, large screen showing some movie or tv and enough floor space so that you don't feel like you're shoved in a closet. My only suggestion for RR is to add another body behind the bar. On a typical steady night, two people can be overwhelmed. Maybe they have 3 at times, but upon both of my visits, they only had two working back there. The wait can be painful if its a little busy. Other than that, love the place! Which reminds me, I need to visit soon! read more

Redlight Redlight is the kind of place you want to end up on any night. Whether you're looking to grab a seat at the bar or inhabit a few tables in the back, you're looking at one of the more relaxed atmospheres I've experienced in Orlando. Happy to have had the chance to check it out. The beer list is insane. They have quite the collection of bottles I've never heard of and an extremely diverse list of draughts. Namely, there was Ballast Point Sculpin on draught and in my glass. Hello, heaven. It was fantastic and I had yet to enjoy it pulled from the tap. Easily one of my favorite west coast IPAs. One of my coworkers has Prairie Bomb from Oklahoma and this tells me one thing -- these guys know what they are doing. Huge props for that. I've had this a few times and know just how good it is. Suffice is to say that their beer game is rather strong. Good on ya, RLRL. My favorite aspect of this spot is that when you walk in, it feels pretty small. Then, you walk into the back and it's like a damn warehouse! It's huge. Tall ceilings, plenty of seats, access to the back of the building, and a projection screen playing movies. Pretty rad. This room alone makes it a good spot to kill a good amount of time. Service was phenomenal. Our table unfortunately broke a wine glass and they handled it was ease. They were totally cool about it and just responded "You think this is the first time this has happened? It's no big deal at all." It was great to see that. Really dig RLRL. Looking forward to coming back and I hope this becomes a regular spot for each visit. read more

I really WANT to love Redlight, Redlight, but I'm afraid I don't think I really do. Here are a few things that throw me off: 1) Cash only. Come on. Seriously? 2) Parking is AWFUL. This has nothing to do with my bitterness of being towed from a parking lot nearby, because that was my error, but literally...there IS NO PARKING. 3) It's in a not-so-hot area. Roxy is across the street. Need I say more? 4) I don't really want to TOUCH anything. I mean, wipe a table, guys. It won't hurt. Let's not be all negative nelly... I guess there are some things I DO like about Redlight, Redlight: 1) Great selection of beers 2) Very laid back and chill environment 3) Awesome, friendly bartenders I'm giving it three stars but it was only a needle or two away from getting two. It's mediocre, but I won't say I'd never go here again. read more

Redlight Redlight does it right. A charming dive of an establishment with a serious beer menu, this place is everything you want it to be. The Beer Selection is all about American craft beers and Belgian beers. Some highlights for me include Rogue John John Hazelnut Ale. I've toured the Rouge Brewery in Oregon and this brought me back. It's the team effort of the Rouge Beer Brewmeister John and The Spirits master John that makes this come to life. The beer is actually aged in the hazelnut rum caskets. Delicious efforts that pay off big. Oskar Blues Dale's Pale Ale and Gordon - so good you can't believe it comes out of a can. They also have a nice variety of Lagunitas, I had the Maxiumus IPA. While you're standing or sitting around drinking your beer you can survey the landscape, It's a small place with a somewhat large patio with picnic tables. Outside you almost feel like you are drinking on a friends porch. There are planters and a wooden fence keeping us safely contained. With the Roxy across the street and nothing else going on outside I feel strangely comfortable. This feeling also might be lifted by the patrons as well. It's an accepting crowd bound together by the love of beer and sharing favorite stories. No pretension, no worries or cares. Just people with good taste in beer. This doesn't mean the patrons here are boring, on this night I met up with The Beard of Directors, a local chapter of bearded and mustached men getting together over a few beers and discussing their passion for the art of facial hair. I ran into a few Fullsail Alumni's and was impressed by some of the tattoo art of the evening. I just couldn't stop smiling, it was such a good time. There is only one question left to answer, and that is just exactly how much of a dive bar is this? When I think dive bar I think about holes in the walls, maybe a little vomit here and there, a toilet you wouldn't want to take your chances with, a rough crowd yet every bit as fun with your average past out drunks at the bar. This place isn't Mars Bar NYC, it's not the diviest, it's rather clean. The women's bathroom was a prime example of this. You enter the door and there is a little powder room with sink and seats. The furniture is somewhere between art deco and Alice and wonderland, the one toilet stall was clean and even smelled decent. The only thing that scared me was the huge black phallic shaped plunger in the corner. It's extra ordinarily huge. So while the place is a bit of a dive, it's clean, comfortable, serves good beer to good patrons and is a well respected local spot read more

Happened to attend a PaintNite here recently with a friend. I had never been to the old location so I have nothing to compare it to. Normally I probably wouldn't hang out at a place like this but I had a nice time. It's a wide open space so you don't feel like you're walking all over each other. Plenty of places to spread out to and I noticed a second level but didn't get to see what was up there. The bartenders were all female that night and all super nice and on top of it. As soon as your glass was empty, you would blink and it was cleared! They have a large assortment of beers and , thankfully, ciders too. They do take credit cards so no need to have cash on hand. Set up for PaintNite was fine. I wish the seats were a little higher b/c I could barely see the instructor over everyone's canvases (yes, I'm short). So you may want to opt for a hightop table if you are short like me. Also noticed a large screen closer to the bar airing a football game. So for the sports nuts, that's a plus. I'm sure they will be doing something for the Superbowl so this would be a great place to watch. They don't serve food but welcome you to bring your own. Overall, very laid back vibe and definitely not high maintenance. I would totally come back with girlfriends! read more

Went here for the first time on a Saturday night as an alternative to downtown. I cannot believe it was my first time! I loved the atmosphere: they have plenty of seating at the bar, tables or booth. It was very clean and I loved sitting by a table that was open to outside. The beer selection was great and reasonably priced. The bartender and staff were friendly and were nice about telling us to leave at 2 am :) Definitely adding to my list of favorite places read more

Cool bar, lots of tasty unique beers, weird hours, neat location. I wish they had more booths or bench seating. Last time I was there I had the Ommegang Three Philosophers http://www.ommegang.com/index.php?mcat=1&scat=4&yr=1 Which was super strong dark and sweet and righteous! read more

I just don't like this place as much as I WANT to like this place. My favorite visit was the first time I went, back when it was a small bar near Roxy. Every time I've been since, I like it less and less. The Good Stuff: I'm a craft beer fan and this place has a lot of it. In fact they have an incredible beer selection. This place is huge and its a really great space inside. The crowd is fun and the location is great! The Bad Stuff: Service. I know there are some people tending bar here that are great bartenders, but usually the service is average at best. The bartenders (in general) have an attitude. Its like they ignore you for a good bit, even when it's slow, and then when they come over they just aren't friendly... like at all. I can't tell if they are purposely having an attitude for 'hipster effect' or what, but it's just kind of unfortunate. When I brought friends that aren't that into craft beer and they asked about the beer list, the bartender seemed to have a 'why don't you know this?' mentality instead of being happy to explain the different offerings. Bottom Line: Great Location. Great Beer. I keep going back hoping to like it, but it's just not one of those bars that makes you feel welcomed. read more

Redlight, Redlight, has an impressive beer selection. Their prices are reasonable too. The only downfall I did not enjoy was the actual establishment. It smelled pretty rancid the last time I was there, plus there were roaches running around the booth by the window. Also it is cash only, so do not forget to get some money out of the ATM before entering! With them being voted as one of the best places for beer, you would think they would spend a little money on pest control, or maybe upgrade their location? read more

Loved this place when it was a hidden gem on New England in Winter Park. You could feel the passion back then. I tolerated it when it moved across from the night clubbers of Roxy, but knew that had to be temporary...that Roxy clientele did fit Redlight's vibe. It was one of the only bars that served craft beer in Orlando and arguably the first to bring it to Orlando. Now, it's a huge bar with shiny taps, glowing signs and the same feel as W.O.B or Frank-n-stiens, BUT harder to get a pint and settle your tab. Tap-n-Grind, Oblivion and Eternal Tap are pretty close by and have a unique twist on presenting craft beer in a crafty environment. Check out some of these other up and coming craft beer bars in town and you'll see the positive energy created by hungry owners wanting to give Orlando something new, tasteful, innovative and trendy for beer lovers and brewers in Orlando. read more

Oh Redlight Redlight, why have you forsaken me? Where has the charm that drew me in gone? Why must you now fill your bar with the worst assortment of skinny jean wearing types? Why have your bartenders who made your dim interior so inviting disappeared? Why now have you lost what made you so good? I am truly sad to see that the place that I loved so much has gone far astray of what it used to be. Thankfully, Teej is still there. He gives me the dim spark of hope that Redlight may be the same place it used to be. The beer selection is still some of the best in Orlando, but I'm afraid the rest is not what it used to be. I honestly hate knocking stars off for clientele, because that is a very difficult thing to control, but that is what is fueling this re-review. The volume is almost unbearable now to make these clients happy and the music seems to have gone up several levels of noise from what it used to be. What used to be a place to come in, sit, talk and have a few has now become a loud, jam packed, "It" joint. It's almost becoming a downtown trendster hangout; which just breaks my heart. However, if you can make it before the trendsters show up, you will still find the Redlight of Olde. read more

First time there last night, pretty neat place, gets crowded after 9ish. I tried this dry blackthorn (dry cider) for the first time and it was pretty good, although I wish they would have Strongbow on tap all the time! But it's okay :) I guess it's because of its location, close to downtown and stuff, people there look like hipsters to me, but then again what do I know about hipsters? Haha. Good place to hang out, would go there for cider any time. read more

Stopped into Redlight Redlight Beer Parlour on a Thursday night. Ordered the Lord Hobo Consolation Prize and had a few sips of a smoky beer ordered by my girlfriend. Quality After a long trip up from Miami in order to escape the storm decided to end our evening with a nice beer. Saw Redlight Redlight Beer Parlour nearby our dinner locale and stopped in for a nightcap. The first thing you notice when you enter the bar is the massive collection of different beers they have behind the counter. In addition to the dozens they have on tap, hundreds more sit in fridges behind the bar. I decided to go with a double IPA with a fruity aroma, Lord Hobo Consolation Prize. It was a tasty beer poured with precision in a unique glass. I enjoyed the taste as I am sure I would have enjoyed any of the IPAs they were offering on draft. My girlfriend's smoky beer was far outside my taste, but she seemed to love it. I could barely put it to my mouth without coughing, but it shows the diversity of beers they carry. Quantity They have a huge selection of beers and have carefully considered the best glass and quantity to serve each one in. Value The prices all seemed pretty reasonable, but it really depends on the beer you choose. They had plenty of rare and expensive beers, but more than enough affordable tasty beers for less picky individuals. Ambiance Redlight Redlight Beer Parlour is located in the Winter Park area of Orlando. The bar is a very interesting space to say the least. In the center they have a massive bar that has lots of fridges and taps around the center. With lights behind the rows of beer it is impossible not to stare. However, once you do look away you realize that you are in a huge warehouse space. The space is massive with high ceilings and tons of seating that surrounds each side of the bar. In the back area they had a massive screen to show a game, but for whatever reason they did not have anything playing on this night. Large beer posters hang from the walls, but everything is dimly lit at night. It appeared like they either had an office or a large private room above the bar, but it was tough to tell. They also had a few seats in front of the bar where some patrons with dogs were sitting. In the background they were playing some great classic rock and indie rock music. Crowd It was a busy spot on Thursday night and it seemed full of people who genuinely loved beer. Lots of locals and lots of regulars seemed to make up the crowd as the bartenders knew practically everyone in the bar. This is a place that is a beer lovers dream, but also fun for people willing to try new styles and flavors. Service Our bartender was great, friendly and knowledgable. He had strong opinions of the beers on the menu and offered a stern warning in regards to the beer my girlfriend selected. He is someone I would trust to select a quality beer, which is important for a beer bar. Parking The bar is located in a small strip mall with plenty of spaces in front. I am not sure if the other nearby businesses take up lots of spaces during the day, but at night the bar was the only place open. Extra Redlight Redlight Beer Parlour is a fun beer bar I am sure I could enjoy spending an entire day at. They have a rotation of different food trucks that come in and they have more beers than one could ever try. Definitely worth a visit, especially for beer lovers. read more

Redlight Redlight Brewpub - Special Menu - Pubs Near Me - Orlando, Florida

The mecca of craft beer. This place is the go to place for craft beer in Orlando. I have never been disappointed when coming here. They always have the best beers on tap and the staff knowledgeable in regards to brews I've never even heard of. Anytime I have friends in town, I take them here. This place is also one of the only places in the area that you can get cask conditioned ale. All in all, you have to check this place out! read more

First of all, I am not a beer drinker. Second of all, I never carry cash. With that said, I still love this place. There is an ATM inside and they carry a small selection of cider. Done. However, what I like best is that it's welcoming. It's not a posh ultra lounge with bottle service and VIP rooms - its a BAR. It's a dive with craft beers, a rotating tap, wine, a knowlegable staff, it's nonsmoking, and it's perfect for chatting with friends over a cold beverage. They have games, events, DJs, low prices, you name it.... What more do you need? There have been comments about the location, but it seems fine to me. That's just my opinion. Low rent = low prices. And it is right around the corner from Baldwin Park, sooooo how bad could that really be? And I personally don't see why people think it's bad because it's across from Roxy. I mean, I get it. It's Roxy. Don't cross the street if it's a problem. Oh, and to address the parking issue that seems to creep up a lot: You can park behind the building and south along the street. And if you want to make sure, ask the bartenders and they will tell you exactly where you can park and not be towed. My husband and I, and our friends, go ALL the time and have never ever had an issue with parking. So give it a shot, and defintely check out one of their awesome events and I think you'll agree. read more

I can be a little wary of "New, Improved!" iterations of beloved bars and restaurants. Too often, the soul of the old place is wiped away, replaced by a tide of trendy new patrons who never would have set foot in the grungy former location. Such was my worry with Redlight Redlight. The old location looked and felt a bit shady, but that was part of its zero-pretense appeal. And it was a truly great beer bar in a national context of beer geekdom, not just "for Florida." Would a tarted-up RLRL be the same? I step inside, and at first glance, it looks a little like the old setup. But walk to the right (or the left), and it goes around....and around....and around. 360 degrees. This place is huge. In fact, it looks more like a small brewery than a beer bar. There are plenty of places to sit - even on a very crowded Friday night, we found seating without too much trouble. If you were familiar with the old location(s), the spaciousness takes a little getting used to....and it still has "new bar smell." I wasn't sure I liked it at first, but it didn't take me too long to feel comfortable. Rest assured, it's the same bar it always was. Probably even better, with more space and even more alluring options for the hardcore beer geek. If you're not a beer fanatic, though, don't worry - it's a friendly bar, and no one will judge you if you don't know what to order. They'll work with you, and offer samples of what's on draft to help determine which beer you'll enjoy the most. Yeah, it's even better than it was. I shouldn't have worried. read more

This is one of the best bars in Orlando, but you should be prepared for what you are getting. If you want liquor or a nice wine selection go somewhere else. If you want Bud Light or crappy beer like that then go somewhere else. If you want delicious craft beer with a huge vintage bottle list with rotating taps almost every day then this is the place to go. The main concern people seem to have is parking, now either I'm the luckiest man alive or this really isn't an issue. I have been here VERY often on every single day they are open at pretty much every time. Never had a problem finding a spot. The other main gripe is the cash only thing. You should know ahead of time that it is cash only, and even if you don't there is an ATM right there. And don't complain about the 2 dollar service fee, because you are already getting amazing prices on very good beer. The bar itself is exactly what a beer bar should be. Local art on the walls, a small stage for local bands, dark atmosphere, and an awesome bar. Usually around 30 taps at any given time and staffed by bartenders who know what they are talking about and are always glad to talk with you. One of the highlights of this place has to be some of the events they schedule. For example Jeremy Crown of Shmaltz brewing came out with beer in tow and we were able to meet the man, get a book signed and do flights of his Jewbelation series of beer including the new Vertical. If you are a beer enthusiast or want to become one, go to Redlight. They will guide you in a helpful direction if you are new, or debate the pros and cons of wheat beers over Belgians. read more

I see how Liz F. can bitch about this place, but you know what? maybe this just isn't for you. I'm mildly aggravated that they just started accepting credit cards. Cool. but really if you want to spend your mothers money why don't you just walk over to Roxy and sweat your salty salty hydration away. Beer selection is great & what makes this place a 5 star review for me isn't just the local atmosphere, but the novelty of it, and how much you want to tell someone about this spot, or bring them there. it's a hipster spot for sure, but there isn't much to complain about. Ace. read more

When you love beer like we love beer you reach a point where nothing is good enough... Well nothing available at the bar is good enough. I have friends who love those places that advertise their 100+ taps and they are 100% sure that they could satisfy all.... But then you go there and its 92% light lagers on tap... Can I please get a corking fee? I'd rather bring my own, thanks. This has nothing to do with Redlight Redlight because RR does not have what those guys have... They have something else... something special. They actually do not even have what the good craft beer bars have... they have better. Its cool to walk into craft beer bars and see Dales, Dogfish, and The Bruery in their list of offerings but Cuvée des Jacobins Rouge or a cask of Brut de Normandie? That is the stuff of beer geekdom... and that is why this place is something special...... even if it is 200 miles away. read more
