The Commission Beer Chamber - Becca and Christina - Beer Bar Near Me - Orlando, Florida

We visited The Commissioner for the Finals watch party, and what started as a game night quickly turned into a full-on Knicks celebration! The energy in the room was contagious, especially for New Yorkers and anyone who appreciates the city's culture. The space feels like a love letter to New York, with urban inspired decor and nostalgic touches that bring back memories of the city's iconic sports, culture, and neighborhoods. It's the kind of place that makes you feel connected, whether you're from New York or just wish you were there for those unforgettable moments. The drink selection is also impressive, with beers on draft along with a wide variety of bottled beers, sours, and ciders to choose from. read more

The Commission Beer Chamber - My go too nice and smooth beer. Kings taking over - Beer Bar Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This is where the 90s vibes -- the cool 90's of the Notorious B.I.G. days -- and welcoming atmosphere rule! I've been overdue leaving a review about The Commission Beer Chamber. They have a great craft beer selection on tap, as well as a huge cooler selection of canned beers, water, and NA beverages. Two televisions mounted above the bar are usually broadcasting the games of the day. They have cozy indoor seating areas, as well as an outdoor (uncovered) patio. The staff are super nice! Highly recommend you stop by! read more

The Commission Beer Chamber - Beer Bar Near Me - Orlando, Florida

When a beer crawl is your mission, don't make this an Omission. This is a cool place to hang out and have a few beers. There are lots to choose from from about a dozen or so beers on tap, to a hodge-dodge of cans and bottles in the land of misfit fridges. I tried a Wit beer as well as a Chocolate Carribbean Spiced Mole dark beer and they were nothing like each other, which I didn't expect. I enjoyed them both in different ways (Let the dark beer warm up and it's way more enjoyable). The decor is set up like someone's basement. For those native to FL, basements are a musty cold room or series of rooms underneath the main living floor of a house, typically reserved for home bars and a place to put junk you don't want in the main house. You're welcome. The bartender was awesome and helpful in figuring out how it all worked (you grab a beer from the fridge, take it to the bar, he opens and will pour in a glass if you wish). It was a Saturday afternoon and there was only one dude working and not a lot of people. It's about a block west of The Hourglass brewery in the Hourglass district of all places. Stop in for a beer or two. Or a Malt Liquor. Or a Little Hug. Or a YooHoo Drink Box. Or a N/A Beer. Or a Seltzer. Or a Hard Cider. Or a Draft. Or a glass of wine. read more

Cool hip-hop themed bar with tons of craft beer options on draft and in bottles. Bartenders are friendly and attentive, offering up suggestions for what they have on tap.

If you like beer and/or hip-hop, definitely check it out! read more

I love, love, love this place! Although I am not from NY, I love the aesthetics and ode to old school hip hop. This establishment embodies the NY feel and serves as my favorite "neighborhood bar". No hookah, bottle girls, cover, dress code, etc. Just good vibes, people, beer, and music! read more

Good beer. Great vibes. Fun and attentive staff. This place is a haven for 90s hip hop heads. In addition to the various taps of local craft bets, they also have coolers full of different varieties for your pleasure. read more

The Commission Beer Chamber is my new favorite beer location in Orlando. It is located in the Hour Glass district of Orlando. And in my humble opinion, Commission Beer Chamber is one of the most awesome beer venues in Orlando Florida. Imagine a New York basement club in the 80s with hip hop, freestyle and just great music with beats. And when I say old school, there is some truth to that because they have thise school chairs from high school right next to the beer fridge. They have a number of craft beers on tap, a while lot of microbrews, bottles and cans and in almost any style you can imagine. On the Friday night we came, there was a DJ playing freestyle music. The bartender were fantastic, even after the place got packed. What I loved most was all the cool decor. There was original art on every wall. They had a through back video game console at the bar. And on top of the beer coolers were sneaker boxes and cds. Whoever designed this place had an eye for detail and the style of that Era. And, if you have to go or not, you have to check out the unisex restrooms. One has Metro subway cards all over the walls. The other is papered with comic books. What a cool experience. I hate such a great time that I would love to become a regular here. read more

I've been hitting up different local spots for weekend afternoon beers. The Commission Beer Chamber is close to my home and I can't believe I didn't check it out sooner! This spot has friendly bartenders and patrons, an awesome retro hip hop vibe, and nice selection of brews. They also have food pop ups to satisfy your hunger! Inside you'll find awesome artwork and a cool little room that will bring you back to your grandma's living room complete with VHS tapes and an Atari. There are a lot of board games and puzzles as well so you can sip your brews and enjoy game time with friends. If that's not your thing, there's bar seating, some inside tables, and a large outdoor patio. When we stopped by there was a food vendor trying to set up her authentic NY style hot dog cart, but the weather was not in our favor unfortunately. It did give me a chance to chat with her and I love that the Commission brings in food vendors that are passionate about their specialties. It makes me want to go back even more to experience local food along with the great beers and atmosphere. The Commission Beer Chamber is an amazing part of Curry Ford West and a true neighborhood hangout spot. I'll definitely be back! read more

Can it be that it was oh so simple. This place is a whole vibe. The nostalgia you'll experience as you walk in is phenomenal. If you grew up in the 90's this place will make definitely remind you of your youthful days. The drinks were on point and I even got a tee. Lots to choose from on tap and to go. I'll definitely frequent this place. The parking is ample, service is speedy and friendly and the crowd was layed back. They definitely nailed it with this spot. read more

Hole in the wall! Great place to hang out. Found this place through other folks we ran into one night after leaving a brewery in the area. They play hip hop classics like wu tang. There is a DJ there. They only serve beers and ciders. There's sitting and standing space. It's a nice low key lively spot for a night out. read more

Really cool place dedicated to the beer scene but set in the hip hop era, maybe 80's and 90's. The place actually looks like a club inspired to offer rap and hip hop concerts, or for rap battles to take place, yet none of that happens. Instead, a lot of Wu and Biggie plays on the speakers, along with other old school classics. In other words, hip hop classics is the playlist. The walls are decorated with lots of graffiti reminiscent of NY subway cars or any other urban city in the USA, like San Francisco or NY. Of course, graffiti has evolved into wall art, and currently there are no associations to street gangs, drug dealers, hookers and pimps, or any criminal activity. It is just art. I have been to many "walls", in many different cities across the nation, and I always hear the same question "Is it safe here?". Again, it is just art, and things have changed. The beer selection, being that this is a craft beer place, is amazing and always fresh and well stocked. You will find great beer here. The big plus, in my humble opinion, are the food trucks. I don't know how, but the Commission has the best trucks in Orlando. That is enough to drag me in. But if that wasn't enough, the vibe is pretty cool also. This is one of my favorite places to hang, either inside or at the patio. All the other bars are too weird for me, and only the Commission makes me feel like I belong. I don't know, I am not into honky tonk, or Southern Belle, or trash, this place is just fine for me. I love beer culture, I love 80's and 90's, and I love art. What can I say? Oh! Yeah, the food trucks. Yeah, no competition... read more

This place is awesome, I had the wonderful opportunity to try some of their on tap beers at the most recent Yelp party and I have become a regular in the bar since. The environment is always so nice, everyone is so welcoming. You can sit a chat, play a board game, or even watch a movie and the bartender will even come around and bring out drinks, talk about best service ever. I love it here, best believe this is my new spot! read more

Yes, just yes. We live within walking distance of this new spot and couldn't be happier to have it in our neighborhood. From the really fun graffiti / 90s vibe inside, to the amazing staff (shout out to bartender Birdie for making us feel amazingly welcome and like we were regulars on our first visit) to the great options and offerings, this place is a new staple for us. We visited with a few friends who wanted to hit this place up for a drink or two. I was easily able to find parking and headed in the side entrance. There is bar seating and a couple of 'lounge' like areas with couches and cushioned seats if you prefer to space out. The walls are covered in amazing artwork and you'll want to note that you can reach out to the artist for purchasing prints if you want to!! Support local. They have both beer and wine offerings. Their prices are super reasonable. Overall: A+ A great new addition to the SOCDO Hourglass area! read more

The bomb! Oh wait, do people still say that? As a 90's/2000's hip hop loving lady, this place is such a great spot to grab a drink, listen to some good music, explore all of the hip hop art, and just chill. I have been here a couple of times and have loved it both times. I like that they not only serve beer, but have coolers full of different beverages. The prices are great and the last time we were there, both of the bartenders were awesome. I look forward to going back and hopefully the patio will be open again soon. read more

Love this spot for multiple reasons! The decor brings back memories from years ago ... it's the school desks for me lol the graffiti inside and then outside it's like a little beer garden with twinkling lights and lots of outdoor space which is perfect for this nice weather we will start to have. Every day of the week they have a different food truck coming in which is always awesome because you can try something different! Yesterday was Apizzamia and we ordered the veggie pizza and added pepperoni which was amazing and delicious. They had ONE bartender and he came outside multiple times to make sure we were good! They were decently busy and he went out of his way. We also got to meet the owner yesterday and he's super down to earth! There's soooo many options of beer and even hard seltzers. All I know is if you haven't been you need too! read more

I'm not sure why it's taken my so long to write my review, but here it is! Love The Commission! Other than my favorite local brewery, this is definitely my favorite local beer bar. Birdie, who is always behind the bar, is completely awesome and will make sure to remember your name after the first visit if she can...and even the type of beer you like. Every time I go in, Birdie lets me know what's up on the draft board that she thinks I might like based on my preferences and offers me samples of them. She's always on point on her recommendations. They even have a cooler section where you can buy beer to-go, or you can drink it at the bar as well. If you're unsure of what you might like (since you can't have samples), definitely ask Birdie because I haven't been disappointed with her recommendations from the cooler section yet. The atmosphere inside is pretty fun. You've got graffiti on the walls and a lot of local artwork up as well that you can purchase if you feel so inclined. There's a good amount of bar seating with some small tables and window seating spread out as well. There's also a funky room towards the front of the bar that's got some super dated sofas in there and a table so you can feel like you're hanging out at grandma's house (and yes, it was intended to look like that). Their draft list is always changing and there's always new stuff in the cooler, so if you want to go a couple times a week, chances are there is going to be something different for you each time. There's also food trucks outside on different days of the week, so you can enjoy a bite to eat with your beer as well. And for the non-beer lovers, they also offer wine. read more

This bar always has the best vibes and I love going for the bartenders, the craft beer selection and most importantly the decor and music!

In a town full of so many chains and run of the mill sit-down places, The Commission Beer Chamber is a welcome relief. The owner, Benny, is an absolute class act and treated me like he had known me for years. He and his wife work the bar and are legitimately some of the chillest people you will ever meet. The vibe inside is that of a 90's dive bar. The layout is something of a dream hang-out spot. Half of it is straight up leather couches and a TV for relaxing and the other half a classic bar with tons of fun decor and memorabilia. The walls are covered in beautiful graffiti reminiscent of a train ride from my Long Island home to Penn Station in NYC. Even the bathroom had its own flair, covered head to toe in classic comic pages. Had to remind myself to keep a steady aim while my eyes wandered through a host of marvel superhero stories. The nerd in me was pretty impressed. They had a decent selection of beer on tap too. I had the Tripping Animals IPA and the Duclaw sour called Unicorn Farts. Gotta love whoever comes up with these names. They even have a wine list for those not fond of beer. They have a nice choice of beers in the fridge too. I walked out with some cans from a NY brewery that I've been meaning to try for a while. A little pricy but worth it. A lot of the cans they have for purchase are highly rated. Orlando isn't short on pubs and bars but as a New Yorker, it's really nice to see someone bring the classic Brooklyn vibe to this city. Really glad this place opened. Even in such a rough time for social gathering, I think it's important to show places like this love. You should definitely check it out. read more

As much as I want to keep this place a secret, it's too special not to share it with all the Ol' school hip hop lovers. With their motto as " A Throwback Craft Beer Joint", as soon as you walk in and hear WU Tang or Biggie, you're going to feel transported back to the 90's. The living room style decor has those super chill vibes that when you sit back you forget you're in a public setting. They have an outdoor patio with regular food vendors that come out which they'll post about on their Instagram. A great selection of local beers including some of my favorites from Miami breweries. Check them out if you want that low key vibe experience! read more
