I really enjoyed Bandbox. Since I'm participating in dry January I figured this was the perfect place to visit. Reservations are required since the place does not hold that many ppl. I arrived a little early because you want to give yourself time to find parking . The door is locked until your reservation time to give time for the previous reservations to enjoy themselves. Since I was the first to arrive for my time slot which was 10pm i was able to choose whether I wanted the high table or the couch. I chose the couch. Since I'm short I'm not a huge fan of high tables because they leave my legs dangling. The reservation time is an hour. The bartender and host explains the menu and set up. Everything is zero proof , so you'll see names like tequila or rum on the menu because these drinks will achieve the same flavor as those liquors but without alcohol. They also sell bottles etc . They also have a cute free Photo Booth you can take advantage of . I ordered Baby it's cold outside, high hat & the Trouble in paradise. All the drinks were phenomenal. The high hat, which is like an old fashion is currently the winter version so it has a heavy cinnamon taste. They also offer an egg nog baby it's cold outside too. The trouble in paradise as my fav it was like a passion fruit margarita . The customer service was great everything was explained so throughly. The music fit the speakeasy theme & I took plenty of photos. They also have other games to play throughout They even have some dress up items like hats etc to make your photos more fun. I definitely recommend checking them out . I will definitely be back. The only thing I would recommend is adjusting the lighting. I love the mood but it was so dark in most cases I couldn't read the menu without a flashlight and to pay you can go to the counter or scan a QR CODE but it was too dark that my phone unfortunately couldn't read the code.
Hubby and I are currently doing 75 hard (which means no alcohol) , and we're looking for something new and different to do for date night. We made a reservation which was $5/each and I was so glad we did not realizing how quaint the venue is with very minimal seating. There's a strict one hour time frame because of this. It's important to follow this guideline. Outside of this, our hostess was wonderful, educated us on the offerings, and made suggestions. I had the coffee mocktail and he had the old fashioned one. We really enjoyed the experience of feeling like we were having a drink without the side effects the day after. The inside has a ton of 20's inspired decorations, music playing and a fun movie area that's the Photo Booth. You get to take one strip of 4 photos and the booth gives you two of the same so you and your friend or love can have the memory's maid. If you don't drink or are doing a dry month and looking for a place to hang out, I definitely recommend the BandBooth! See
Literally such a cool place! My friends and I wanted a non-alcoholic option and decided to drop in here on a Friday night. We got a reservation a few days ahead of time and once we got there we could see why - there's basically room for two parties, three max if one sits in the photo booth or stands. It's super cozy. There were three of us so we sat on the couch by the windows. We ordered a bunch of things, the wine flight, blueberry cocktail, baby it's cold outside, and I got the trouble in paradise which is a passion fruit margarita. It was sweet with a little spicy because of the sriracha rim, so that definitely hit the back of the throat with every drink. It was delicious! The photobooth is an amazing touch and it's so great that it's included with the cost of entry. We loved taking pictures and using the cute props they had available!
The BANDBOX is definitely a must if you are looking for something a little out of your ordinary. I have been twice now (first time being on opening night) and I will definitely go again. It is quite small, only two small two-tops are available but I have seen larger parties (3-4 people) at each table before so that may be an option. That being said, if you want to guarantee you have a spot, I would reserve your table ahead! They have a cancellation fee of $25 I believe that you are charged if you cancel within 30 min or your reservation which is very generous. When you walk inside you are hit with the most gorgeous and moody 1920s themed "speakeasy" decor. They really nailed it. A maximalist's dream. There is also a cute little photo booth spot with fun props that are very on brand with the theme. Now onto the drinks. I have tried their cocktails, wines, beers and elixirs all of which I would get again. The wine was definitely hit or miss for me, but that's non alcoholic wine for you. I mean, that's the case for alcoholic wine too to be honest, some wines you love and some you don't. Of one of the wines that I did like, I bought a bottle to take home! This place is definitely a nice addition to the many MANY bars in Orlando and it's nice that it gives sober or sober curious people a place to "go out" and actually have great drink options!
This is a unique and cozy speakeasy experience. This is a fantastic idea if you don't feel like drinking, or are pregnant, or have a friend that doesn't drink but you want to experience something like this together. You are transported into a 20s speakeasy in a small room with a little photobooth (FREE!) in the back. Almost everything in the room is for sale, so it's fun to look at all the novelty items around. Do not get there early - the door is locked until your reservation time on the DOT. This is because the room is tiny, and only allows for really small parties at a time for an hour window. Overall, we had a good time. No, the drinks don't taste spot on - but they are GOOD. I might have had a sugar hangover the next day, but it's better than a liquor hangover! The wine was the best - it tasted closest to the real thing! This is because of the way it is made, their book tells you all about out.
Please know what to expect here. This is a non-alcohol bar but I think this is more of an "experience" or a "show" Interesting to note that 99% of the non spirited spirits there are not available in any other establishment in the Orlando area. I would liken it to anyone who has gone to Disney Adventurer's Club back in the days of Pleasure Island or maybe even Prime Time Cafe at the Studios. This place IS smaller than you imagined. There are Two table of 2. Yes seating for the entire place is Four Guests. Posted sign is 10 max capacity and you have to remember there is a bartender and a concierge there, so it's really only 8 people. You certainly can get a drink in a plastic cup and take it outside and enjoy. They also have many can/bottle options that can be a "to go" refreshment for you. Reservations are required and they try to keep the visits or tastings to around 45 minutes. I believe our concierge was named Bryon. He greeted us in his best British tongue and explained the menu as well as the art and items for sale around the spot. He mentioned the story of what a Band Box really was and had an extensive knowledge of the menu. Be advised that his favorite word starts with an F and rhymes with truck. This is all in good fun and part of the character that is serving you for your short visit. They have vintage restored art deco chairs in a side closet that offers fun pictures. You can choose color, b/w, sepia etc and get a fun photo strip with the Bandbox logo at the bottom. This is pretty much all trying drinks but they do offer complementary popcorn that you can help yourself to out of the machine and they offer truffle oil to sprinkle over it because as we were told " they are pretty Fing fancy like that" :) The two of us tried 4 drinks and took 2 to go. They were all good, some we liked more than others but nothing was horrible. But to be clear if you do get something that you do not like - Just tell them and they are more than happy to make something different. This is great for a couple for "date night" or even just a friend. You will not need a designated driver and you will be fine in the morning. What you will experience is a night of loud and boisterous fun.
I was SO pleased with my experience at The Bandbox! This is a non-alcoholic cocktail bar with speakeasy vibes. I loved the fact we could have a sophisticated night with a wide range of drinks as opposed to the measly 2 or 3 mocktail options at other bars. You do have to make a reservation ($5 deposit per person) since the place is so small (10 person max occupancy). Reservations last one hour but if there are no reservations after you, you are welcome to stay longer. I personally liked the small size because it allows for an intimate experience. Classic jazz music played as we sipped our crafted drinks. I first ordered Sheba's Stinger which was essentially an espresso martini. My only critique is I wish the drink was a little more bitter as I thought it was leaning more on sweet side. The two drinks I loved the most were the High-Hat (old fashioned) and the Petting Pantry (Pomegranate margarita). The High-Hat had a delicious Smokey flavor. The Petting Pantry has a sour kick that was so much fun to drink. Drinks were $8 to $10 dollars. I would advise getting there a few minutes early to find parking as you're relying on street parking. Also, don't miss out on the photo booth that is complimentary with your experience! I'm so glad I finally made it to The Bandbox and I can't wait to bring my friends here!
If you're looking for a fun spot that makes alcohol-free drinks, I 100% recommend this place! Gatsby/speakeasy vibe. Includes a photo booth while you're in there, seemingly unlimited (we went 3x since we were with a couple). I ordered Kemps Coliseum first and really enjoyed it, but there was definitely a gentle kick at the end. After that I got the Petting Pantry and really enjoyed that one! It has a tangy salt around one side of the rim and a tart taste to the drink, which is what I'm always looking for. My husband first ordered the Blueberry Bombshell (not pictured). A little on the sweet side, but not too much. He enjoyed it. Next he ordered the High-Hat, which had a smokiness to it. A fun take on an old fashioned.
Nice place To relax in a Disney like atmosphere that brings you back in time while enjoying a non- alcohol cocktail.
One of my favorite spots ever, I had the chance to come to the preview a few months ago and wanted to stop back in during my Dry January! I was delighted to see the same bartender and was greeted by an awesome host. The overall experience here is phenomenal, taking my partner here for the first time was a great decision. The Winter pomegranate seasonal cocktail was delicious, had a little kick but wasn't too sweet. They were out of blueberry for the CBD cocktail but they were quick to accommodate and create a dragonfruit version of the cocktail, PHENOMENAL. It's like time traveling to the 20's for a few drinks and heading home. I also picked up a Rose bottle from their bottle shop, so excited to see this place blossom even more!
The place is like a Time Machine straight back to the 1920's with a photo booth and vintage decor to match! The drinks were excellent we recommend the baby it's cold outside. Leilani was awesome, really making the experience one of a kind!
First off, this is a spirit-free speakeasy, so what you will find here are alternative spirits, cocktails, nonalcoholic beer, CBD beverages and a small selection of wine. However, if you're like myself and alcohol is not a must, this is a great place to experience. It is so quaint and well designed. From the colors and decor to the trinkets, this place delivers on ambiance. It is very small and tables are limited so without a reservation, you will likely not have a place to sit. I went on a Saturday night (without a reservation) but the doorman was kind enough to let us roam and enjoy the experience for a bit. Though it was not packed, there was no seating (I believe there are only 2 or so tables), so I went straight to the Photo Booth in the back which is a fun touch. As for drinks, I had one of their CBD beverages (Bimble CBD Soda); it was good but I think ordering one of their craft cocktails is best for completing the overall experience. The staff is very welcoming and offered great suggestions. I definitely recommend coming here if you're looking for something different on a night out.
Phenomenal concept, but this establishment is not entirely upfront about their policies and hidden fees. An alcohol free speakeasy, the allure of this location is that it provides low to 0 proof drinks with an old timey speakeasy theme. The staff were kind helpful and gave us great suggestions. The drinks themselves were tasty, unique and fun. This place lost me due to the fact that our group had to pay a per person deposit on our reservation (I don't remember the exact exact amount, but it was either $5 or $10pp) despite the fact that the website indicated this deposit would be used towards our bill - we were told in-house that this policy was no longer in effect and if we wanted to complain via email, we may get a refund. This bad customer service really put a sour on our otherwise nice night.
Has a blast here for a nice date night. Blueberry bombshell - tasty, light refreshing and not too harsh for my gf who doesn't drink Baby- not my favorite Kemp's - definitely has a kick and not for the faint of heart. I'm not a big gin fan but I liked this one a lot. Overall it's a nice place for anyone looking for an upscale night out with alternative drinks. read more

Cozy and intimite vibes and decor inspired in the 1920s this speakeasy offers delish non alcoholic drinks to enjoy while getting relax on their lounge. Love their decorations. There is a movie room with a photo booth for free. You can enjoy and take some pictures with your friends. The place is tiny so reservations are recommended. Love their drink menu great variety of cocktails, bottle shop and drinks to go. I got the trouble in paradise a tequila passion fruit margarita. It was so good. Almost you see there is for sell. Great customer service. read more

This is one of the hardest reviews I've ever had to write. There were good things and great things and not so great things about it, but I have no idea how many stars to give this place and ended up settling on 3... 1. The ambiance is great! From the decor, to the jazz playing in the background to the fun free Photo Booth, this place killed it if you're looking for a Speakeasy vibe. 2. Our hostess / mixologist was pleasant enough, we got the drinks we ordered, but there was no oomph, no passion in her pour. Anyone can follow a drink recipe but there was nothing fun and/or entertaining that made you feel any need to send others her way. 3. Drinks were... drinkable? If you're billing yourself as a mocktail bar and recreating tried and true cocktails sans alcohol, there should be something that brings the original to mind. My 'Old Fashioned' was a very tasty nod to cider, while my 'Brandy Alexander' was a pleasant taste of cereal milk, and the lovely Spensyr's drinks didn't even include the promised garnish! All in all I feel like the spot is a very cool vibe and I'm glad we went, but nothing about it makes me want to go back or bring friends. read more

Absolutely unreal! As I come up on my third year alcohol-free, I love seeing NA bars pop up in my area, and BANDBOX is no joke! Complete with a full line of zero proof spirits, NA wines and beers, and a long list of ready-to-drink grab and go mocktails, this place truly has it all. Beware! The location is TINY and seats only 2 parties of 2 at a time, so a reservation is a MUST - but it makes the whole experience that much more intimate! Hubby and I ordered: - The Fire in the Engine: A sweet and spicy mango jalapeño margarita - The Blueberry Bombshell: A blueberry ginger mint CBD-infused cocktail - The Petting Pantry: A pomegranate margarita rimmed with an AMAZING triple berry sugar - Kemp's Coliseum: Gin Uptown Rocks Everything was phenomenal! Although all of the craft cocktails were just a hair sweet for my liking, they were still complex, flavorful, and had the same notable zing that would come with traditional alcoholic cocktails! The small space was chock full of gorgeous antiques, bottles of NA spirits, and a free Photo Booth complete with props! Absolutely amazing spot and both my husband and I can't wait to go back! read more
Really cool place for non drinkers and drinkers alike! Supporting our friends for dry January we decided to check this place out. Reservation was required which was understandable so imagine our surprise when we got there and had the place to ourselves! There are plenty of games to play with friends and a fun Photo Booth and space to explore. We all ordered different cocktails and I specifically ordered the CBD drink. I enjoyed it and loved the craft aspect of it. We tried some of the zero alcohols on their own and I wasn't a huge fan but I'm glad the option exists for those who drink. In the cocktails they definitely do the trick especially the zero proof Smokey whiskey which made a pretty convincing old fashioned. I also tried an alcohol free wine (Riesling) and it was definitely doable. It was easy to drink. Overall I'd say this is definitely a fun place to try something different with friends. Also the hostess was so nice and helpful in helping us pick out drinks and explore. read more
Shaken, Stirred & Alcohol Free Bandbox is Orlando's first spirit-free cocktail tasting lounge & bottle shop! Their 1920s decor takes you back in time to an escape from reality Byron is an amazing hilarious host but don't be surprised if the F bomb is thrown around! Definitely a no judgement zone It's definitely a unique experience with an ambiance that is perfect for date night The drinks were very tasty & def resemble the feeling of an alcoholic drink but without the aftermath headache Highly recommend getting their Trouble in Paradise it was the perfect amount of sweetness with just a kick Be sure to make reservations since they have limited seating & get pretty booked Ps: Don't forget to go camera ready! They have a photo booth with props so you can take your own old style pics read more

Since I don't drink alcohol this place was recommended to me. They give you the experience of drinking without the buzz. Staff was extremely friendly and made us feel comfortable. The gentleman who attended us was very funny and took his time explaining what they had to offer. He also answered our questions and provided great recommendations. My drink was a whisky alternative with cold brew coffee. After the drink we looked around and took pictures in the photo booth which was fun. Over all a great experience. read more

instagram totally stalked my location and led me to the grand opening of here . We arrived early and waited in a virtual line for the reveal. Very unique experience & date night vibes for sure. No food offered here, only a tasting room. Had the opportunity to sample 3 different cocktails: baby it's cold outside, rose, and strawberry shrub. My favorite part was exploring the room you enter. It's small but cozy. The theater room is interesting as well. If you enjoy alcohol, but want to try a new experience come here . Legit taste like there should be alcohol but the secret is there is none at all! read more

Had a blast visiting this location. I went with a friend to visit since I was curious about a speakeasy bar that served alcohol free cocktails. We didn't have an appointment, but luckily they served to-go drinks and we got to explore the inside as well. I do recommend making a reservation since the space is small. (Party of 2 is perfect, I believe 10 is their limit.) They have lots of photo opportunities, beautiful 1920 decor and their products as well. I loved the mini theater room which is a photo booth as well to take photos. (Give two pictures) They also serve free popcorn to snack on while you wait for your drink. The drinks are great for being alcohol free. Had High hat and Kemps coliseum both great and love the ingredients they used. Parking is street parking as most downtown areas, recommend to get there early to find a good spot. Enjoy! read more

Luis, glad to hear you had the opportunity to visit our space. Thank…
This was the chillest speakeasy I've been to and it's honestly the best one! The capacity is 10 people so very intimate which I love. Everything in there is for sale so buy anything you want!! The photo booth is free which is GREAT!!!! There's tons of little Knick knacks in there that were really fascinating. The drinks taste just like a cocktail, you just won't get buzzed haha I loved the experience! read more

My husband and I collect antiques and love speakeasies so this place was a must try while we were in town. We made a last minute reservation and the two gals that were working that night were so accommodating and friendly. We are definitely drinkers but we were blown away by the 3 nonalcoholic cocktails that we had. When my husband found out that he could actually purchase the antiques in the bar, he started a pile of goods. We left with some good stuff! This was a highlight of of short trip to WinterPark. Thank you ladies!! read more

The bandbox is a cute, quiet spot full of ambiance. My two friends and I had a great time but it is a tiny space and four would have been a tight squeeze at the window table (which the only seating other than a couple of stools behind the front door for walk ins). We enjoyed the Citrus Margherita mock-tail the most and loved getting to take old fashioned photo booth pics before heading out. Checked off the bucket list! read more

As someone who barely drinks in a relationship with a sober partner this gives us the feeling of going out for a late night drink without the hangover or messiness of alcohol. The venue is truly beautifully put together, I am especially obsessed with the gold ceilings that transports you into 1920s movie. We celebrated our anniversary there for the first time ever and I have been recommending it to drinkers and non drinkers, the experience alone it worth it. There is a host that stands outside this gives it the real speakeasy prohibition vibe, to the extremely in character, chatty and funny server Byron. The bartender crafted the cocktails beautifully, each one better than the last. It truly is worth to try them all. They provide complimentary fresh popcorn with toppings and a photo booth with themed props. Take a moment to check out the bathroom it is themed and has beautiful murals in there. There are only two tables and can fit up to about 10 people max so i recommend making a reservation if you want to sit down. They also offer drinks to go straight from the bar. read more

An amazing new addition to Orlando. As someone who doesn't drink and appreciates art deco decor so much, I was blown away with the Bandbox. I loved all the little details and the drinks were wonderful. I would go back in a heartbeat. read more
