HOW HAVE I NOT REVIEWED THE GUESTHOUSE YET????? Best Tom Collins Cocktail I've ever had! I've celebrated my birthday here, have met up with friends here and more gone when they had a food collab. This place is awesome. They get very busy but the ambiance is fun. Last year, we got a group together to celebrate "The Eve Before the Eve" (12/23) and we had such a blast! Tasty cocktails, chill atmosphere. They do not serve food at this establishment but you can order food or bring food in. It kind of works out because there is so much delicious food on the strip! If you want a good craft cocktail, access to delicious eats nearby or a place to meet up with some friends for a birthday or just because, this is a good place to start! And please, for the love of god try the Tom Collins if that's your kind of drink...it's so good! read more

The perfect post dinner chill spot. I went on a Thursday and as always it was full of lively conversation and great vibes. They had two alcohol free beers for me and even though they weren't my favorites it was nice to try something new. Great if you enjoy a light beer. I wish the music wasn't blaring. For a weeknight I wish you didn't have to yell to talk. The bartenders are always nice and helpful. They guided me through my selection. 10/10 atmosphere. Drink up! read more

I want to start off by saying I love guesthouse as a whole. The bartenders are always fantastic and the drinks are great and fairly priced and they have a great happy hour. It can get very busy here but they still do their best to keep up the crowd and the quality does not go down. I visited recently and was quickly reminded of why we stopped going here and that is because of one of the guys who does security here. We will literally turn around and go else where when we see him. I was looking through the reviews and saw other users mentioning the same thing. On my most recent visit we were sitting at the bar by the time he came up to our group. He acted like it was our fault that we had come in without him being at the door. Honestly it's not even worth recounting because they clearly don't care about the way he talks to guests but I will say I will continue to avoid this place when he's there. read more

My go to spot when going to Downtown Orlando for ambiance, vibes, and drinks! Usually come out with the girls or perfect for date night and with it being located on Mills it's in the ideal spot for an evening outing. Parking can sometimes be limited but there's spots in the back lot or on the street and with various surrounding bars it's not hard to hop around as well. What really brings me in as well is their Happy Hour which from 4-8pm, where else can you get those kinds of deals for a proper cocktail? My go to drink is their Army Navy and of course followed by an Espresso Martini, I'm just a giiirllllll. The bartenders are exceptional and always presenting and serving each drink to perfection and to your preference. Whether it's inside or outside in their patio area, this soft lit, chic, plant filled bar is a must when having a few bevy's out in Downtown Orlando. read more

The Guest House is a great place to start or end your day. It's Monday, and happy hour started about thirty minutes ago, so the atmosphere is still relaxed. The bartenders are always friendly and attentive. They are quick to greet you, pour you a glass of water, and take your order if you're ready, or give you plenty of time to browse their menu. They're happy to customize their House cocktails or let you go off the menu. The Guest House has parking and overflow parking behind the building, as well as street parking. The best way to get there is by ride share and check out the neighboring businesses. Cheers! read more

The bartenders have increased but their service didn't. The new bartenders are rude and look like they don't want to be there. Took us forever to order a drink at the bar. I recommend coming here before the night crowd gets in. Basically anytime during their happy hour is a good time to go. The place gets overly crowded after that which makes it uncomfortable. I'm surprised the bouncer doesn't cut off the crowd when we're all shoulder to shoulder. Drinks are still delicious and strong. read more

We got there at 6pm and it wasn't too busy, but about an hour later the place was buzzing. It does get kind of loud in there when the people fill in. I did love the look and vibe of the place.

After a very tough day at work, my friends and I decided to go out for some drinks. We wanted to try a "new to us" spot and we ended up at The Guesthouse. It's a very cozy, inviting spot, with a large bar and a decent amount of seating. It's perfect for a date night. The bartenders were all friendly and happy to help if you needed suggestions. All of the drinks were delicious - my favorite was the Whiskey Smash. This is a perfect place to start your night out. Happy Hour starts at 4 and runs until 8. There aren't any food options available, but they do allow you to bring in your own food, which is a very convenient touch. By 11 PM, it became quite crowded and bar service was harder to get. Timing is everything here! If you do decide to move the party, Guesthouse is located central on Mills, where there are tons of great options for food, drinks, and dj nights. read more

I like that they had some local drafts. They had a huge selection of drinks as well that my friend decided to partake in. I had a local brew which I had never tried, and it was pretty good. The bartender came back multiple times to check on us. I enjoyed the music that was playing and was able to have us still a good conversation with my friend.

It's always intimately lit and perfect for socializing and catching up with friends. I love that the sunroom next door is their sister business and you can wander between both as you please! They make the best margaritas which come with reposado tequila, my favorite. I also enjoy the espresso martinis here with repo. I love coming here and always feel welcomed by security and all staff. They usually decorate for every holiday so I'm excited to try the new Christmas cocktail menu soon.

We came in to visit The Guesthouse for a second drink after having dinner across the street and had a nice experience. They're pretty packed on the weekends, so expect to hover because there is limited seating. I was impressed with the bar tenders serving us quickly despite the business of the bar. I got a Hummingbird and it was lovely. I also thought their pricing was good. This is a good place to socialize and they have some additional seating and space outback.

I love to start a nice friday or saturday night at guest house. Get some tacos next door from Black Rooster then slide over to Guesthouse for some classy drinks. They have a nice menu of a variety of craft cocktails to choose from. If you want to create your own, they have a huge liquor selection. The vibes are upscale yet casual. There have tables around the walls and some couches, plenty of bar seating. No food options, but there usually have a truck outside or black rooster is next door. They also have a great happy hour which I believe is every day until 8pm! Super good deals. Normally the drinks are about $10-15 a piece. I like to get the Aperol Spritz, which comes from the tap. Also the Humming Bird is really good. Overall a great HH spot and a good way to start your night on Mills! Beware though, on a busy night it does get loud! read more

I love elderflower. They were also reasonably priced and have a great happy hour with a lot of their featured cocktails. All this place is missing is some comfy couches and tables to fit the vibe. The lighting was also very dark and could use some more lighting besides the natural light in the windows.

If you are in the Mills area you HAVE to stop by Guesthouse. I have never had a bad experience here and it is always poppin:) The last time I was here we stopped in for their happy hour on December 26th. Their happy hour is amazing. They have their $7 house cocktails on sale from 4pm-8pm as well as $4 select drafts and $5 wells. They do this happy hour EVERY DAY!! It's amazing and the house cocktails are great. I would recommend trying the hummingbird and Moscow mule. The atmosphere inside is a giant bar in a square with seating around three sides as well as couches and tables along the edges. It can hold a lot of people but this place gets popular so get there early especially if you have a big group. They have greenery along the bar and walls giving it a really nice vibe. Every bartender I've interacted with has been extremely friendly, Attentive and willing to speak to you. I always feel welcomed when I go there. This past time they were extremely busy but the bartender made sure to check up on us to make sure we were doing okay. You will not be disappointed!

After months of anticipation... I finally made it to Alfie's…read more It was exactly what I was hoping it would be: a slice of culture. Real people. Real life. Real youth. Real energy. 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.

They've added more ramen to the menu since my last review, and the Tan Tan ramen has quickly become one of my favorites. The spicy sesame peanut broth is rich, flavorful, and has just the right amount of heat. If I'm not in the mood for ramen, I always go with the shiso butter yaki onigiri with a side of pork chashu. They torch the butter right at your table, which is such a fun touch, and it smells incredible. The mentaiko fries are still a must order every single visit, and for dessert you can't skip the matcha tiramisu or the taro ice cream with the hot green tea. The ramen, grilled meats, addicting appetizers, fun drinks, awesome atmosphere, and consistently amazing staff are exactly why I keep coming back. Easily one of my favorite spots in Orlando.

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!

I saw a man trying to pick up a gorgeous woman. I could tell she was just rambling on about her dreams and hopes and whatnot (things he didn't seem to care about based on his facial expression). All of a sudden I saw him go from tan/bronze to pale white as he proceeded to projectile vomit his entire night's worth of drinking, plus his shellfish dinner directly onto her face. There was screaming and panic, know one knew what to do. Until the skinny bald man rushed to them man. He was as cool as a cucumber. The blad man began to fiddle around with the man. I was not sure what he was doing, and just kept crying for help. When the paramedics finally got to the scene they looked shocked. "Who did this ?" they asked. A lady not far from me pointed to the skinny bald man. He looked scared. I feared the worst and assumed the bald man had done something wrong to the customer. But to my surprise, the paramedics began to clap and told the bald skinny man that he had saved the customers life. Not all heroes wear capes...or a head of hair. read more

I came into The Guesthouse for the first time at around 12:30 on Friday, and was pleasantly surprised by what they've turned the old peacock room into. Open decor, plants everywhere, mood lighting... however, it was a little bit loud. My service wasnt the best, but it wasnt awful by any means. I had to wait for about 7 minutes at the bar before i could get my drink. Meanwhile, I sat and watched the female bartender with the wine opener tattoo take shots and talk with other customers nearby. When she greeted me she seemed polite enough, it just would have been nice to get my drink without having to wait on her to do a shot. I ordered a mule which was delicious. Ill probably be back in the future. Maybe when its a little less noisy. read more

I was kicked out upon asking for a beer. The owner with brown long hair is racist against black people and didn't give me any reason to why I was kicked out. I had a Bob Marley shirt on and was kicked out with zero explanation. His security guard put his hands on me after I walked out and was talking to the guy at the door. I may be filing a lawsuit. I wouldn't suggest this bar as they are racially prejudice if you don't look the part to the kind of people they want. Corey is the main racist here, owner with brown long hair. read more
