    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!

    The vibes and service are elite here! A true community bar that has incredible people that welcome you like family. It's a good day to be a rep! Bonus: They often have food trucks and a stellar patio that's perfect for late night hangs!

    Interesting Selections - This was good but wouldn't buy a keg of it.

    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.

    Omgahhhhh. If you love hip hop and chill, non-pretentious spots, why have you not been here? Best bartenders (LOVE us some Veronica), best DJ's in Florida, MASSIVE craft beer selection. The vibe is beyond reproach. Thanks to Benny for creating this amazing spot for us hip hop connoisseurs to converge. Go there. Now.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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...

    I love this place. This is my favorite spot to chill with some friends and have a beer. They often have local food pop ups so you usually can support a local business and have some good food to go with a beer. They staff there is awesome and friendly. You can usually find me here once a week.

    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!

    Maybe I'm a bit bias (Originating from NYC) but whats not to love about this place?! Great Beer, draft, can and bottle selection are very good. There team is helpful and although quaint, a nice space.

    I like beer. I like kitties. According to the shirt I'm currently wearing, I really like kitties…read moreand beer and honestly, that sums me up pretty well. As a loyal fan of Orlando's local brewery scene (shoutout to my neighborhood favorites Tactical and Ten10), I don't venture far from my comfort zone. But every now and then, I'll travel a daring five miles for a place that feels like it was plucked straight out of the Pacific Northwest and this is that place. The beer? Amazing. The staff? Incredible. The space? Open, welcoming, and plenty of seating to settle in for a while. Now let's talk about the only adventure here: parking. The immediate lot is small and can feel like you're competing in the Orlando Parking Olympics. But there's additional parking across the street to the left near some office buildings. Finding parking in Orlando sometimes feels as hard as snagging a spot in NYC, but trust me, it's worth the effort. They're constantly brewing something new okay, maybe not every single week, but it sure feels like it and somehow it's always excellent. There's always something fresh and creative on tap. So yes, I absolutely recommend this place. If you can park, come on in. You won't regret it.

Parking was…read morea bit difficult to find, but then became easier when I was told I could park at the bbq restaurant next door. We ordered directly at the bar, and tried their moonshine iced lemonade tea. For 8 bucks, it was a refreshing drink, and the alcohol lingered lightly. I was surprised they allowed outside food, but they have a partnership with the bbq restaurant next door. So I got a pulled pork sandwich with bbq beans as side, and banana pudding (about 18 dollars total for all). The sandwich was fair with ample amount of pork, but could have been a bit more flavorful. Thankfully the bbq sauce on the side helped. The pork was tender enough. The bbq definitely helped the beans to be more enjoyable. It only it had a bit more kick. The banana pudding tasted like Publix pudding, and looked to be missing actual bananas. It has wafers instead. Though, I still enjoyed it and can't complain when it was under 4 bucks. The tables were sit yourself, and outdoor seating was available as well. After you order your food the drinks, and pay at the bar, they will deliver it directly to you. It was quiet when I went on a Friday, but there was a live band playing Caribbean music. Dogs are allowed here, and the dogs people bring can be pretty big. While the food was just above average, the drinks are still very good. Since the food is from their partner restaurant, I am still giving them 5 stars because of their great and reasonably priced drinks in a social and fun atmosphere. The service was very friendly and helpful too. Last time I visited, they had the mechanical bull riding contest, and I will definitely do that if they ever have that again. It is still a great place to have drinks with your friends and family. Overall: A-

I get their regular house lager which is light and refreshing on a hot day. I had family visiting, and we came out for luch. My brother had the pulled pork sandwich, and mom and I shared the turkey and pesto sandwich. This was such a simple sandwich but so good!! They really know how to make a good sandwich.

It lets you enter the…read morenumber of people in your party and gives you an estimated wait time, which I found to be pretty accurate. It sends you text updates, and the technology is actually pretty cool. It can tell when you're not close enough yet and will tell you to check in once you're closer to the restaurant. There were 6 of us in the group, so reserving ahead definitely helped. I actually had to do it twice because we reserved our spot before we left, and by the time we got there, it had timed out. I checked in again, and when we arrived, the host said, "I see you checked in twice." He told us the wait would probably be about 10 minutes, and we ended up waiting less than that before being seated. Considering it's at Icon Park and it was the night of a game, the place was packed with a lot of hustle and bustle. I was impressed that we were seated so quickly, especially with a party of 6. Our waiter, Matt, was amazing, and the food was amazing too. We ordered what felt like almost every appetizer on the menu. We had the Cali Roll Stack, Parmesan truffle fries, crispy Brussels sprouts, spinach dip, and the vegan Gardein wings. The Cali Roll Stack was probably my favorite appetizer. It was so good, and it was made with real crab. Most places use imitation crab, and Matt even told us that's why it's his favorite appetizer too. He was absolutely right. The Gardein wings were surprisingly good. We ordered the Korean chili garlic and Buffalo flavors, and if nobody had told me they were vegan, I probably wouldn't have known. I'd never had a soy-based wing before, but I would definitely order them again. The Parmesan truffle fries were exactly what you want them to be, and the crispy Brussels sprouts disappeared fast. At that point, it seemed like everyone else was tapped out, but somehow we still had room to eat. We ordered the lobster garlic noodles, and they were amazing. They didn't skimp on the lobster either. There were big chunks of real lobster throughout the dish, along with spinach and garlic noodles. Definitely one of my favorite entrées of the night. I also tried the Key Lime Cider, and I liked that they let me sample it before ordering. It ended up being really refreshing and exactly what I was looking for. For dessert, we shared the brownie cookie topped with ice cream. Oh my God. I don't even like chocolate like that, and it was amazing. Yard House has never really disappointed me, but this visit was especially good. I don't know if we were just starving or if the chef was having an exceptional night, but kudos and hats off to the kitchen. Parking was easy too. Levels 3 and 4 of the garage were free, so there was no need to pay or get anything validated. Overall, everything was smooth from start to finish. Great service, great food, easy parking, and a surprisingly short wait despite how busy it was. 10/10, highly recommend.
