If you can get past the theme park resort pricing, this is a great little lobby bar! I have been…read morehere many times across multiple Cabana Bay stays. The drinks are top notch and the bartenders are talented and efficient. For the Halloween season, they have cute decorations and fun spooky drinks.

I stopped into the lobby bar Swizzle when at the Cabana Bay hotel yet again when I was in town the…read moreother week. I first stayed at the Cabana Bay a couple years ago on a whim. Once I stayed once and appreciated the midcentury design of the place I was hooked. And the Swizzle Lounge was definitely one of the perks. When I was running late, driving north after work from South Florida I had a 1st primary objective, make it in time to grab one martini at Swizzle. I was making ok time but when I got into the lobby I knew I only had 15 minutes to spare. And there was a long line to check in. When I finally checked in I only had minutes left. I walked up the busy evening bar with little to no hope. And yet one of the busy bartenders saw me and said they had last call already, but they would get me for one. Halleluiah. One martini later and I was ready to wander to our room. The Swizzle is retro, brightly lit, and especially friendly. Looking forward to stopping in again soon.

I had the lions uncle to drink, it was pretty good, the charcuterie board was not worth the price IMO. The pulled pork sliders come with coleslaw which was not listed on the menu for those who don't like it. They were okay, not much flavor, plant based flat bread was amazing, pretzel was good but they give you a HUGE pretzel and the tinest dipping sauce. Shrimp is awesome.

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

Speaking of vibes, the vibes were super chill. I went a little later in the evening, so it wasn't super busy. It was also during the middle of the week. So, that may have played a role. The staff were friendly and very attentive. The price points are reasonable - considering they are a full service lounge. I enjoyed a glass of wine alongside one of their signature cocktails. I also, enjoyed a hookah with a couple of other peers I was there with. All in all, my experience was pretty great! Parking is below and there is plenty of it. The interior / bar area was modern and very clean. I'll definitely be back.

HOW HAVE I NOT REVIEWED THE GUESTHOUSE YET?????…read more 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!

From the first night, he was welcoming, fun to talk to, and mixed some of the best cocktails I've had. He not only remembered my favorite drinks but also recommended a few new ones that quickly became favorites. What stood out even more was how much he cared about making the experience special. Anthony gave me great food recommendations around the resort, and on the night of my birthday he surprised me by sending an assortment of snacks up to my room. It was such a thoughtful touch that made me feel celebrated and really added to the whole trip. Anthony goes above and beyond--great drinks, great conversation, and genuinely top-notch service. If you're at The Hard Rock, or enjoying the universal parks or resort, do yourself a favor and spend some time at the bar with him. He was there the last time we stayed there for my birthday as well. He's the best.

Really love the variety of well crafted cocktails, and interesting plates to share. My favorite cocktail ever has been removed from the menu, their pear martini, but if you ask very nicely, they'll sometimes still make it for you. Last night we enjoyed the avocado dip and the short rib and fig flatbread. I was surprised that the avocado dip was cold, but still delicious. Another favorite is their beef carpaccio. Service is fast and friendly, but be patient if it's pre-show as they get very crowded. Love the ambience and the music and the vibe... Highly recommend!
