    Margarita

    Stopped in for a few drinks. The service was great, drinks were good and there was a DJ playing music. Overall great vibes

    A couple girl friends and I stopped in for a drink and it was an OK experience. It was a Saturday night and it was decently busy, but not packed. We sat at the bar and watched the bartenders greet others around us that sat down after us. Once we were finally recognized, we ordered drinks and hung out for a bit. I got a whiskey sour and to be honest it was pretty terrible. It might've been the worst whiskey sour I've ever had which was unfortunate because I thought that this place was a cocktail bar. My girl friends said that their drinks were fine. Mixed between the service and my subpar cocktail, I don't know that I will be rushing to go back.

    Was hanging out with my family in Sanford and while walking around, we decided to wander into here. If you want to enjoy nice cocktails with ambience this is a great place to visit. The staff were great and very friendly. While there, I decided to go with an espresso martini and I was not disappointed. It is probably one of the best that I have had in Central Florida. I definitely plan on going back.

    I like the concept. This place is really trendy, unfortunately we came when the place was slammed and didn't get prompt service. Actually, we sat for a while before any one even came to serve us. But once they located us, we were greeted by a few different servers which made the experience much better. It is Christmas themed currently. And what a Christmasy experience it was. We tried to order the Cartel Experience, like $32 with tax. It is one of their classic menu drinks, and they weren't able to accommodate, which filled me with Christmas dread. Like a lump of coal in my stocking. Riley who was our server has the patience of a saint. We were so indecisive and she patiently explained the different drinks. We finally settled on the Creme Buble Brulee. The drink was really great.

    We went for the Christmas popup and weren't disappointed. Most popups do the corporate drink menu which can be found around the country but not here. They make their own menu and it didn't disappoint. Being a popup it is busy and there was a wait but the staff was great while we waited. As for the ambiance, wow they went above and beyond as a Christmas theme. Even hit Hanukkah properly.

    Our first time at the Capitol Room. Lionel and Wendy were amazing! My one and only gripe is that the menu doesn't tell you what's in the drink, simply just the name and you have to ask. Other than that, the service was spectacular and the ambiance was great. Although they don't serve food, Lionel grabbed a server from the new restaurant next door and took care of us. Definitely going back soon.

    Double Shot Lemon Drop

    Wow! The mixologist KILLED it with this one. I typically get double cosmopolitans and wince at the strength of it lol. So I was expecting that with this, but instead the double lemon drop martini was sweet and perfectly balanced. Couldn't even tell there were 2 shots in it and the sugar rim was super yummy. Interesting vibes with the decor and loved the house music playing as well.

    Great atmosphere and friendly service. Oh yeah and the beverages were yummy. I would highly recommend you stopping by whilst in the area.

    Cutest Christmas Bar I have ever see! The decor was perfection and the drinks were decent. The service was a little slow and it wasn't even that busy when we arrived. But I definitely would give it another shot.

    We went for the Pinup GOGO burlesque event and it was AMAZING. The performers and the entire team were incredible, so welcoming, fun, and super accommodating. The bar itself is a great space and beautifully decorated, which really added to the vibe of the night. There was only one waitress covering the entire bar, and she truly did her best to keep up. We appreciated her effort and attentiveness, especially managing everything on her own. We did try making conversation at the bar, but the interaction felt a bit short. I ordered a mocktail and asked her to surprise me since there wasn't a mocktail menu. She brought a pineapple drink that unfortunately tasted off, it turned out the juice had gone bad. My husband ordered two $12 cocktails, and both were noticeably watered down. I ordered a second mocktail, though, and that one was actually really good. I do want to point out that the drinks did come out in a timely fashion. Overall, the event and atmosphere were fantastic, and while there were a few drink hiccups, we could tell the staff was doing their best.

    I had the opportunity to visit for their Christmas time special. I enjoyed the sugar cookie martini. Bar is beautifully decorated and very festive. I would definitely recommend it. It's much better than those commercialized Christmas pop-up bars. Service was friendly. This is a great choice when in Sanford.

    We stopped in before attending a show at Theater West End, it was the start of the holiday season so the bar is decked out for Christmas! The decorations are amazing, such a fun and cozy atmosphere! I love that you can pretty much walk in anytime, no reservations needed. We had a couple of dirty martinis as well as an espresso martini and one of the special holiday drinks. Great cocktails, reasonable prices and overall a fun night to get in the holiday spirit.

    Interesting drinks, old fashioned tv guide menu. Monthly/annual events. Worth checking out.

The ambiance is about half of what this place is all about. It's very Trader Sam's, including a lot of neat Disney memorabilia on the shelves on the walls behind the bar. Dark and stormy tiki bar vibes. The service was super friendly, and the food and bev came out very timely. The drinks were great, and they had a really nice mocktail menu. You can come and enjoy a nice drink without getting alcohol. We also ordered a burger from their limited food menu. It was very good. Not in competition for best burger in Orlando or anything, but the flavors were on point, and bun was nice and soft, and the furikake dusted crinkle cut fries were the perfect side item. Overall, this place was very cool, and if you haven't come here yet, you need to.

The guy was present, but not overly present. The drinks and the food were very timely. The burger we had was very nice, and I love a good crinkle cut fry. Cons: I tried a drink that wasn't supposed to be too sweet, but it was just too sweet for me. And a significant portion of the menu seems to be sweet drinks. Very tiki bar. Tips: Certainly a preference thing. I'm not gonna knock them, but if you're not a sweet drink kind of person, good luck here.

My husband and I have not been to downtown Sanford but recently did come for a friend's birthday. She wanted to hop around different drink spots and have dinner. Since we carpooled, parking was better. We were able to find street parking. There is no designated parking for this spot. We got there very early and decided to stop here. We ended up coming back later with everyone but we enjoyed it. This is a small bar with standing room only at the bar but then they have a huge back area with lots of bench style tables and seating. Their drink menu is also very large with tons of beer options to choose from. They offered a wide range of beers, craft beer, stouts, ciders and more. I am not a huge craft beer fan so I struggled. I ended up telling the bartender what I like and he had a couple of suggestions. He also let me sample one of the ciders, which I ended up getting. I choose the Cider Boys Strawberry Cider. Really great, not overly sweet just very tasty. My husband loves craft beer and will always look for one with a high ABV. He went with the Voodoo Where our Secrets go Stout Imperial from Pennsylvania. It had a high ABV and was a dark beer, he really enjoyed it. Both times we sat outside. The second time we came over, was later in the evening and more full than the first time. They also had a musician singing, which made it extremely loud and very hard for our group to chat. Overall this is a great spot. If we lived closer I could see us coming here more frequently. We do not find ourselves visiting Sanford a lot but if we are in the area, we would for swing by again. If you live closer, I would highly recommend coming here for the vibes, the ambiance and the beers. You can also bring your dogs which is a nice touch. My only negative is there is not food to order. I would love some bar snacks or pub style food. You can bring your own food in but it would make this an A Plus if you they served food.
