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.
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.
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!
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.
Came here tonight with a girlfriend to catch up over some cocktails. What a great choice! The happy hour specials were in full force. 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. My Tom Collins was delicious! My friend ordered the Hummingbird and enjoyed it as well.
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.
Great happy hour, vibes, and bartenders. This place has dimmed lights and is perfect for a romantic date. The place has fun and interesting paintings on the wall. I have been here a few times and getting seats at the bar is fairly easy, I would say its a big bar area. They have great selections of beers and mixed drinks. I have been with girlfriends only and cant wait to go back with my hubby. Oh and they have a nice selection of plant decor along the window area.
Came here for some libations after happy hour down the street. So walking into the location I loved the decor definitely my vibe. We found seats right at the bar and were attended to very quickly. 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. This place is definitely a vibe I would come back.

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
Food. Service. Ambiance. Yes, Yes, and Yes! We were looking for a nice place with craft cocktails, lounge area, and relaxing chic atmosphere and this bar hit all the right notes. The owner was super nice, the bartenders are talented, and the drinks were delish! read more

Great place to continue a night. I did not see a food menu and believe this is a cocktail place only. The music and ambiance were great. I loved that the place was full and the service was quick. The bar selection was really good. I went with a classic old fashioned. read more

Stopped in for a quick drink! The bar is super cute and small. There's a cute seating area in front of the window and seating around the bar and of course at the bar. Service was quick which is always appreciated. I had two mules and they were delicious. Not heavy in ginger but enough to give it that punch. I was visiting from out of town but I can see how this would be a local meet up for me if I lived in the area! read more

This is my go to bar lounge in the Mills50 district! The bartenders are amazing, Gabriel specifically is my favorite. 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. Follow their Instagram for news on food truck pop ups that are featured there ever so often. read more

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 liked the drinks a lot and there's a fun high energy here. read more

One of the best happy hours we have in Orlando and definitely my favorite in the Mills area! I love the margaritas and you can get regular or spicy with the HH menu. They don't have food but they allow food in so you can get tacos next door and bring them over. Bartenders are always friendly and helpful if you need a recommendation! It's sooooo cute inside! read more
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

The Guesthouse is a great spot for happy hour and to just meet up for drinks in general. It has a great vibe and good music. The bartenders are pretty attentive and helpful if you have a hard time deciding what you want to sip on. And the drinks have yet to disappoint. They don't serve food, but you are welcome to bring your own. It's convenient to have Black Rooster Taqueria right next door. So pick up some tacos, and swing over to The Guesthouse for some drinks and it's a guaranteed good night! read more
Really nice hole in the wall bar. The moment you walk in the bar is in the center and giving a simplistic vibe. We really loved the craft cocktails. I got the hum bird which was lovely. 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. The bartenders were super attentive, and we will be back again to try more drinks with some friends! read more

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! Check out The Guesthouse for great drinks and service! read more
