    I really like UFC so I bought my ticket for this event. I found the location a bit run down and very limited seating. I had to grab a seat really quick for my mom because she cannot stand for too long. The fight was entertaining but I was limited on the what I can see at times. Some people were standing on the seats in front of the fighting area which caused most of us obstruct our viewing of the fight. The security was not telling people to sit down. This felt to me like an underground fighting place. The parking is nearby in a garage for $10 all night.

    I came to the Beacham on October 30th 2023 to see a thrash metal show, which included GWAR, X-Cops, Negative Approach, and Cancer Christ. My Brother-in-law scored tickets for about $35, not a bad deal at all. Beacham staff performed security checks at the doors and also patted me down. Drinks were kind of expensive compared to what I am reading from other reviewers. They charged me almost $12 for whiskey and ginger ale, way more expensive than I expected, yet it was a strong drink. The show started on time and magnificently enough all four bands gave it their all. I am assuming moshing is permitted since the entire place went wild especially when GWAR started killing characters on stage and spraying the audience with the fake blood. If you have never seen them, I recommend going even if you don't like thrash metal, it's an experience you just have to be there for. I wouldn't say the Beacham is my favorite venue for shows, but it wasn't terrible either. The last time I was here was in the early 2000's when I lived in Orlando and it was called Taboo. Not much has changed, bathrooms still up front, big bar as you walk up to the dance floor, and a big enough stage for GWAR and X-Cops to put on their insane production. I definitely look forward to seeing another show here, hopefully the drinks won't be so expensive the next time around. One more thing, it is very loud in here, I always wear earplugs to shows; if you have them, bring them, you will thank me later. The PA's were pointing right at our heads, and even with my good loop ear plugs in my ears still rang the next day.

    Went with my friends, we drove up to orlando for the nettspend invert tour that xaviersobased was opening, and the venue was great; super loud speakers, lots of merch, nice bartenders, helpful employees, competent security

    Went to Broadway Rave event that at the Beacham. Enjoyed. Wish there were more sitting areas there. Music load. Bathrooms clean.

    Though the performance was great the actual venue was not a success. Bars all over the place with minimal staff to actually take the orders. Shout out to our bartender though, she was doing her absolute best within the provided work environment. Understaffed and understocked. Waited 20 min at one bar with acknowledgement or eye contact so we hopped to another bar. Waited another 30 min, finally got our beverages. When we went back for another round, we had to wait another 20-30 min because they didn't have the beer I wanted. To top it off, security staffing was rude and pushy. Disappointed :(

    We had a pretty great time seeing my bfs favorite dj, Girl Talk. The club is pretty spacious, with 5 bars (4 on the dance floor, and one at the entrance). As well as VIP areas along the far right wall when entering, and VIP balconies circling 3/4 of the top of the club. The speakers are INSANELY loud, & I felt every single one of my 36 years standing near one lol. There was no cover to get in, and we purchased tickets online. The drinks are inexpensive, but strong as hell (my vodka and red bull was 99% alcohol, with a splash of Red Bull), and I only needed one drink. The actual stage is a little elevated and smaller, but the opening act, and Girl Talk with his entire entourage fit up there perfectly. I love that at various point they would drop confetti or balloons, but all I kept thinking was "damn this is gonna be a b to clean up" lol. All in all, we had a fun time, and I can't wait to go back for other events or to just hang out.

    I had an opportunity to visit this place the weekend before Halloween and I can definitely say I enjoyed myself! It was definitely packed but it wasn't overwhelming it's enough space to move around for sure like the building is huge ! 8 out of 10 so I recommend! It's also conveniently located right on the main strip in Orlando so if this is not your cup of tea there's plenty of spots right next to them that might be! Go check them out and follow there ig for updates on the upcoming events!

    For the record, I've been here a couple times and it's always underwhelming. I wanted to wait until I had a good or bad experience to write a review, and tonight was the back breaker. Here we go: I live downtown and like to try different places each holiday. On NYE I unfortunately chose to go here. After a 30 minute wait, they let my girlfriend in for $45, which was already $5 more than they stated for the "express" line, then wouldn't give a refund after I wasn't allowed in. She spent around 3 minutes inside. That's about $15 PER MINUTE for anyone who doesn't want to do the math. No drinks or anything, this was just to get inside. I asked for a refund for her and they said no. I asked for a card for the owner to discuss the situation and they threatened to call the cops on me (lol). If you plan to go downtown go to any other bar. This place will literally steal your money and threaten you with cops the moment you're unhappy with the service.

    I haven't been here in soo long, last time was when it was called Tabu lol. I had fun dancing to new and old latin hits, though the college/high school crowd can be kinda annoying if you rather be at a bar (I would). It has not changed since I've been and I don't think that is good, but seeing how many people went that night means that they could care less about how the establishment looks - I used a railing walking upstairs and felt something sticky on my hand, I looked at my hand and saw some black residue. Even though I had fun, it might be a long while before I come back here. This place and Parliament house need to start a go fund me for renovation assistance.

    I came to the Beecham for Orlando Weekly's Best of Orlando 2018 shindig - and before I get much further into my review of this club, I just want to say mad props and a Big Up Thank You to Yelper Erin G, who had a spare ticket and invited me as her date! Erin had also come to this event previously and so knew all the ins-and-outs, so thanks to her, we got in line around 6ish and were among the first to enter. There was a mad rush to get the bar, but we took our time, and got some Buffalo Bites from Tony Roma's and then also posed for photos. The entrance also had a vendor booth from a Mexican restaurant and also some other winners, so it was fun to wander around and check them out. I think its a great space to dance in - its big enough that it didn't feel crowded, and really good sound system. Also great and more intimate space upstairs in the balcony, which gave a fabulously commanding view of the stage. However, its only 3 stars for me, as the night I was there, found the floor to be just super sticky, and just was very uncomfortable walking around the dance floor. Might come back again, if there was a band/ DJ playing that I am keen on. Yelp 134 /2018

    Is it 18+?

    Yes it is 18+

    Do they serve food at the venue?

    No, they just have the drink bars. I have heard that sometimes food trucks are accessible from the venue, but we didn't see it.

    Does it have seating for concerts? Does the balcony have seating?

    The general admission floor doesn't have any seating except for some very limited seating at the bars, mostly in the back. When I went I noticed some chairs upstairs on the balcony but I think it depends on the show whether or not seating is…

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. No complaining about that ! lol

However, we initially entered to get a picture in the photobooth for our friends birthday. There was no one at the door checking IDs. After we all piled into the photobooth, someone walked up and asked for our IDs. He wanted us to exit the booth to get them. Eventually said ok because we had already paid and on a timer. But he was very impatient. Let me add that there was not a single person in the entire place. NO ONE. Let me also add that almost our entire group is almost 40. So we're obv not underage. With the way he approached us and was completely impatient, we were a little turned off and left. Which lost them money on our entire group. He followed us out the door as we left. It was a weird experience especially when there was literally no one else in there. The music was good but I doubt and of us will to back based on that experience alone.

When I first arrived there around 7pm, which is there opening time, the security staff were just showing up, and they didn't think the facility was opened yet. So I went to my restaurant first, had dinner, then came back around 8:30. The place was open, and there was no line. Security staff screened me using a handheld metal detector, and kindly let me in. They did inform me that I could not bring outside food with me, but were very nice to valet it for me. I directly went to the bar and just had a diet coke for 4 dollars. Yup, it's a little pricey, but what did you expect for a tourist area? Honestly, I didn't come here for the food and drinks. It's obvious you know why I came. The star attraction is of course, the mechanical bull. It's not a PBR without the bull, and there were a few people riding it. Of course, I took a ride too, and had a lot of fun (hint: if you want a fun ride at your own pace, be sure to tip the ride operator). The operator did an excellent job controlling the bull at my desired pace, and it was a great practice for the real thing (yes my friends, I been cleared to ride the real ones again ). After riding, I headed back out. Security and check in area gave me my bag back and wished me farewell. I was quite impressed with the great service and friendly staff, especially from security (the bouncers). They took great care of me, and mechanical bull operator did a great job giving everyone a fun ride. The music was pretty loud and they were some people line dancing too. The bar area is both indoors and outdoors, so if you don't want to go though security or pay cover charge, you can still drink outdoors. But the indoor area has the better vibe, and the bull ride, so it is better to be indoors. There were saddle seats too, but they were occupied when I was there. I wasn't sure what's the cover charge as I had a coupon to get in for free. This country bar is definitely much better than the defunct Cowgirls bar that was at Icon Park. The vibes here seemed a lot better. The drinks looked to be a bit expensive, but at least the bull rides are free if you buy a food or drink. And parking is validated too. So it's well worth it for a bull ride and free parking to go through the friendly security check and buy a food or drink. Overall: A

I believe it may have been the Havana Ballroom. There was plenty of food, drinks, and mingling. The Cuba Libre Restaurant staff were great, and the venue was well laid out and worked for this event very well. When we arrived around 6:30 PM on a Saturday evening for our event, we first mingled around the tables and near the cash bar. There were a bunch of large tables that we began to fill out. As our program began and announces made and awards given out, appetizers were passed out. We were offered Guacamole Cubano, Mama Amelia's Empanadas, and Shrimp Cocktail which we passed around to the entire table. Personally, I skipped the guacamole and shrimp dishes but absolutely loved the empanadas. Yum! Then, an individual Cuban House Salad was passed out with red wine vinaigrette. This was also quite tasty. Next came the entrees including a choice of Salmon Paradiso, Ropa Vieja, Citrus Chicken, or Paella Vegetariana. I was trying to decide between the Ropa Vieja (beef brisket) and the Citrus Chicken. While the Citrus Chicken sounded perfect, I asked the serving staff their advice, and they recommended the Ropa Vieja for a true taste of Cuba. I was happy that I did even though it may have been more heavy and with a kick than I was expecting. I'm still glad I ordered it though. It was wonderfully prepared! And then, everyone received Cuban Flan for dessert. The Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar celebrates Cuban heritage and explores Cuban flavors, music, art, and traditions. The mission of the restaurant is to provide an "escape" to Havana through exciting food and beverages and entertainment experiences to celebrate the Cuban people and their culture. Orlando hosts one of several of this restaurant around the United States. This restaurant is in the midst of the Pointe Orlando. You can find details on their website: https://cubalibrerestaurant.com/en/orlando. You can find menus, entertainment, blogs, make reservations, specials, and more. The Cuba Libre Restaurant is open for brunch on weekends from 12 PM to 4 PM, for dinner Monday through Thursday from 5 PM to 10 PM, Friday from 5 PM to 10:30 PM, Saturday from 4 PM to 10:30 PM, and Sunday from 4 PM to 10 PM. Happy Hour is at the bar and bar tables on weekdays from 5 PM to 6 PM and weekends from 4 PM to 6 PM. They have a special Chef's Tasting menu during dinner. They also host weekend nightlife and shows on Fridays with a live band from 7:30 PM to 12:15 AM and a DJ and dancing from 10 PM to 2 AM on both Fridays and Saturdays. It was certainly a great event and a fun place to be!
