    Love the One You're With and an Expresso Martini

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]What a cute little place![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was live music and it sounded heavenly with my strong tequila drink.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's dark and cozy here, kinda sexy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I love it!

    Outstanding creations from Brady our bartender! Best we had in a long time!!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved the general vibe in this bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Liked the dark, quaint atmosphere[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and our bartender Brady was not just a bartender, but a craft cocktail extraordinaire. Rare to find a truly well crafted cocktail in Florida and this place is a must.!!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is a mix of cocktail bar with a college bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Cocktails are straight up 10/10. High quality, best I've had in Deland. Bartender knows what she's doing. We tried two speciality cocktails and they knocked it out of the park.

    I love this place. The interior is cozy. Ben and Shelby were amazing bartenders. The drinks are all carefully crafted are delicious. I can't recommend this place enough. The drinks change seasonally. I find that exciting but I am also horrified to loose Tam and the Woomp... which is my favorite drink of all time.

    Okay I have a lot to say. 5/5 would recommend. They have a wide variety of drinks to try that I normally wouldn't have readily available at my home bar. So I love that I can try unique creations here! It was a saturday night and my friends and I were waiting for our table at Odoms Sushi. The restaurant told us it would be a 30 minute wait and recommended that if we wanted to, we could cross the street and check out the drinks at the wander bar. If our buzzer turned on before we finished our drinks, Wonder bar would put our drinks into to-go cups for us to enjoy at Odoms. That sold us immediately. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the bar staff and found a table quickly. We got there a little early and the Jazz band was setting up. Since we didn't know what we wanted, we ordered 2 Flights (8 cocktails) and each flight of 4 was $24. I think it was WELL worth the price. And by the time our buzzer went off we were feeling great. The glasses had plenty of alcohol and they gave you a lot to enjoy! (See pic and you can be the judge of that) So then after dinner we went back to check out the live music. The ambiance was fun. We got to try the Dessert menu and ordered the Coquito & cinnamon infused cocktail and the marshmallow one. OMG Phenomenal. Super sweet and rich. Hit the SPOT. The bartender was super sweet, made our drinks quickly and helped us order. Gotta go back and can't believe it took me this long to stop in.

    Raspberry Beret cocktail

    Very cool place. It's on the main strip alongside all the mom and pop stores. Great place to stop in for a cocktail. I ordered the Raspberry Beret and it did not disappoint. Very chocolates with a hint of raspberry. Definitely a dessert cocktail but not too heavy like many can be, which was much appreciated. I love the decor here and the bartenders are great, especially Shelby.

    Smokin Side Pony
    Josiah N.

    Incredible and unique cocktails. I stopped by after dinner at Cress and had both the "Smokin Side Pony" and "Into Submission" and enjoyed watching my concoctions mixed by my bartender. The "Smokin Side Pony," in particular, was a treat to watch. The interior is classy in the front, with a more relaxed atmosphere in the back, with a pool table. Will be stopping in again to try more!

    Ambience is chill. Drinks are delish. Service was amazing. Very cute spot and a unique gem in Deland! Highly recommend!

    Moody Blues and Black Magic Woman
    Tara M.

    Excellent place for creative drinks, good music that doesn't overpower the conversation, and a relaxing night out. Drinks were STRONG so be prepared! The service is over the top awesome! The only downfall is that there is limited seating, but other than that a great choice for a great drink.

    Martinis for everyone !!

    This place was absolutely beautiful. I attended an event during their bottomless brunch and the…read morespace alone had me in awe. The ambiance was inviting, stylish, and felt like the perfect setting for a weekend experience with friends. The food overall was good. The shrimp and grits were definitely the highlight for me full of flavor and well done. The steak, however, wasn't my favorite and didn't quite hit the mark. The fruit bowl was exactly that fruit in a bowl nothing special but fresh. The banana pudding was delicious and a sweet way to end the meal. The service was a bit inconsistent, which I believe was due to the waitress being very busy. There were a few moments where we waited longer than expected for menus, straws, or even water. While noticeable, it didn't completely take away from the experience and felt more like a staffing issue than a lack of care. Overall, I would absolutely return for brunch with friends. The atmosphere alone makes it worth another visit, and with the right company, it's a great spot to enjoy a relaxed and beautiful brunch experience.

For appetizers, we tried the coconut shrimp, Table tots, spinach dip, and charcuterie. Everything was fantastic except the shrimp, which were a bit overcooked. The rest of the starters were flavorful and well prepared. Most of our group ordered the NY strip since they were out of the filet, while others chose the meatloaf, mushroom pasta, and a few other dishes. Portions were generous and the food was tasty. While the strip wasn't the best I've had, it was cooked perfectly. Dessert was a bit hit or miss. We tried all the pies -- most were decent and nicely presented, though nothing stood out. The salted caramel cheesecake had a grainy texture rather than being smooth. Service was friendly, but a little rushed. Courses came out too quickly, making it hard to enjoy each one before the next arrived. The table became crowded with plates, and the pace felt chaotic at times. The server was kind and seemed possibly overwhelmed. Overall, a good meal with solid food, but pacing and a few execution details could use some attention.

I will update if this changes through my stay. My first stay was quite horrendous to say the least. Let's hope this stay is a lot better. Update: as I wake up in the morning and go to make my morning cuppa coffee, the Keurig doesn't work. Now, coffee is my life as stated on my page. I don't know what to do with myself as there is nobody working in the front desk, quite literally there is a sign. Disappointed in that. I went to go take a shower and my options were either scolding hot or freezing cold. So I awesomely got to choose between the two. That was pleasant. As stated in one of the pictures you can see that some of the paint is faded in a couple different areas in the room and the wood is showing underneath. Just some basic light maintenance needs to be tended to. And the lightbulbs need to be checked out before customers come into the room. Other than that, I am happy with the aesthetic of the junior suite. It is roomie and nicely decorated. I like the fact that the living room is sectioned off from the bedroom. Makes it feel like you're in your own little apartment versus being in a hotel. They seem to have made some upgrades since the last time I had stayed here. In the bathroom, they have amenities that they did not have before. So kudos to them. Now let's see how the rest of my stay goes! Oh, and Lindsay who works the front desk, rocks!

    Drop whatever you are doing and go!…read more Zanzibar is an intimate yet unique live jazz music experience literally in the basement of a historical house. Beer and wine is served in a highly welcoming setting. Tonight, it was someone's birthday and they were handing out slices of cake to everyone there. The live performance was PHENOMENAL. Amy A. Hall, a vocalist, was performing with a back up band, which included covers of mainstream R&B songs. People were dancing and moving on the floor and in their seats. Cannot say enough good things. There is also an outdoor sports bar in the garage as well as a barber shop area and an AirBNB upstairs. Whatever you are doing... go!

Nestled in the basement below what looks like a vintage barbershop, this classy speakeasy transports you straight into an intimate live music lounge -- dim lighting, cozy seating, soulful music, and an atmosphere that feels like you've stepped back in time. What truly sets Zanzibar Blu apart is the personal touch from owner Kenneth Hunt who welcomes every guest as if you're stepping into his home. He's often there to help seat people, chat with patrons, and make you feel instantly comfortable. His vision for the space shines in every corner of the décor -- he handpicked authentic, fully functioning antiques and memorabilia (many of which he's said to have brought over from his childhood home in Philadelphia) that give the place a real story and personality. Live music is the heart of the experience here. There's always a mix of blues, talented local jazz musicians, and smooth sounds that keep the vibe lively yet relaxed. Whether you're celebrating a special night out or just craving something off the usual bar circuit of Daytona biker bars, Zanzibar Blu delivers. And if you're in town long enough, check out the Hunt House vacation rental upstairs -- Kenneth's other passion project that perfectly complements the speakeasy below. Highly recommend!!!
