    We came here on Halloween night I had a gift card and we bought for drinks. The Ipa beer on tap for $6 and a Jameson and whiskey was $6. The bar staff was very friendly and the place was packed we didn't stay long we had a good time. this bar is connected to several other bars and there is outside seating. Very hip little bar I like how it is connected to a couple of other bars that had couches and outside seating.

    New bar downtown alert. See what I get for not prowling the streets downtown for a couple months! This place drew me in like a moth to a flame with loud, popular, slightly older music blaring and luring me over from a block away. I didn't test the bartenders skill level and just had a rum and cola. Good mixed crowd like I likey.

    Strong Jameson and coke $5

    My wife and I stopped here while in Downtown Orlando on Halloween Night. This is a hip little bar with several craft beers on draft and a full liquor selection to choose from. The prices are reasonable and the staff were great. Someone snatched my beer while we were talking to a couple but the bartender replaced it for me at no charge. I thought that was outstanding service. We didn't stay long since we were bar hopping but we both agreed that we would revisit the next time we are in the area.

    People like to throw around the word "gourmet" because they do not have a refined palate. One taste of this sandwich is tantamount to looking into the eyes of God and having him whisper back "you are my finest creation". I would honestly write a longer review but I am having trouble typing through the seemingly endless barrage of happy tears. I have found happiness. I have found peace. I owe everything to this sandwich at Swiggs. If Leonardo DaVinci had been reborn in the 21st century and forced to compare his works to the sandwich creation mastery of Chandler Walp, he would have had to have been immediately confined to a mental asylum as he would know that his entire life's work would have been a failure.

    Really cool spot in town! Very nice bar area with huge TVs, tons of options to chose from, enough tables for a very large crowd and a great vibe. Location is awesome, easy to find and there is a very convenient parking garage across the street. Though with all of their alcohol options, you might wanna consider Uber ;) Highly recommend!!!

The vibe here is dark, intimate, and gives off a chic city nightlife feel. They offer both a full cocktail menu and a happy hour menu. They also offer a Thai tapas menu, which we unfortunately didn't get to try because we were already stuffed from dinner at Talay, but the menu looked amazing and gives us another reason to come back! The drinks are unique, creative, and very well crafted. We ordered the Celestial Bloom, and it was absolutely delicious! It was beautifully balanced and left us wanting to come back just to try more of their cocktails. Definitely a great spot for drinks before or after dinner!

The hidden door which you push is on the right side. Once inside the bar it is super small inside. The tables along the wall are squished together. I think you're better off at the bar. I could see lots of people bringing dates here. First up, I tried a $17 Tree of Life. The drink the bartender made me was maybe 2 sips. There's a giant ice cube and a bamboo leaf or something and very little drink to drink. Not sure what to make of this because as soon as I was deciding if I liked it or not, it was gone. Wouldn't order this again. Second, I tried a $17 Adam & Eve. I wish the matcha was much stronger. There's a place in Tampa called Tori Bar that has a super duper matcha tasting cocktail. This one was much lighter. It was fine, not my favorite. Maybe I'd bring a date here sometime, but wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

They have a ton of great items and would have loved to spend more time in the shop but it was getting close to last call at their bar and wanted to make sure I tried a drink. The bar itself is quite small, but it packs a bunch with décor. There is so much to see and every time you look a different way, there's something else you didn't see before. When I came, it was really not crowded which is good because like I said, it is small so it was nice to be able to walk around. My friends and I all tried different drinks and they were all really good. The service was fast and efficient. I would definitely check this place out again and recommend. According to other comments, they do change up the drinks so I would love to try something else.

Went to celebrate a birthday and the service was surprisingly quick for how busy they were on a Friday evening, the servers as well as managers AND the hostess all checked in regularly with a smile and small talk when prompted. We were especially impressed that servers not tending to our table placed orders/knew of orders and communicated with the waitress serving us. Most restaurants struggle to keep orders ready with the designated server, this place EXCELLED with communication. We all enjoyed a variety of different cocktails, all of which were delicious (however a bit pricy for some) and all partook in appetizers and entrees. ALL of the food was delicious and had fair portions, couldn't say enough good things. This place is a bit cramped but not horribly, the decor is cute and everything is clean :) Most importantly, to celebrate the birthday we were brought a tres leches cake that paired very nicely with the pastelitos and cafecito service!
