With such a focus on entertainment, it comes as no surprise, that this central Florida city has also become a hotspot for great bars and clubs. Orlando cocktail and nightlife destinations provide a great time for locals and visitors alike—especially when the theme parks close for the night. With countless bars in Orlando, how do visitors know which one to pick? Start by checking out our Tastemaker List. If you're looking for a spot to ensure an unforgettable night to cap off long days in the Fun Capital of America, check out our list of the best bars in Orlando.

Raglan Road Irish Pub
4.8 (12673)
$30 and under
Irish
Lake Buena Vista
Visitors can feel like they traveled across the pond without leaving Orlando when they go to Raglan Road. It is an authentic Irish pub located in Disney Springs. Raglan Road has a host of beer on tap as well as a menu of authentic Irish dishes. Head there to taste items like bangers and mash, shepherd’s pie, and cider salmon. One of the standout features of Raglan Road is that it regularly features Irish entertainment. So diners can see musicians, dancers, and singers while they eat and drink. There’s a reason that the bar feels so authentic: its parts come completely from Ireland. The Irish spirit is unmistakable in the dark wood of the bar and tables and the warm, welcoming hospitality of the staff. Raglan Road is a good option for delicious food, great beer, and entertainment while dining.

Señor Frog's - Orlando
4.3 (1065)
$30 and under
Mexican
I Drive / Sand Lake
Señor Frog's is fun at every location. But the Orlando outpost is particularly entertaining. This is thanks to the spirited nature of the Central Florida theme park town. Señor Frog's is on International Drive, right in the heart of Orlando’s theme park and shopping mecca. The bar has a menu of Tex-Mex food for people who want to dine while they party. It also has an entire selection of margaritas for visitors who choose tequila as their go-to drink. This is a bar where people come to party, so it may be a good one to leave the kids home for. Come for a night that can extend into the wee hours of the morning, and a bar where strong drinks and dancing are the highlights.

Perfect place to celebrate your birthday. The staff was excellent and the music/vibe in this place was even better.

STK - Orlando
4 (10170)
$50 and over
Steakhouse
Lake Buena Vista
Anyone looking for a bar that’s as much about the food as it is about the beverages? Head to STK, an upscale steakhouse that offers unforgettable fare in a nightclub setting. Visitors come here for a range of reasons: the outstanding menu, the impressive wine selection, and the distinctly upscale lounge feel. Order a porterhouse and frites or get a pinot noir and sit back, relax, and unwind. STK is in Disney Springs, and the restaurant has two stories with a rooftop deck. Some nights, a DJ spins tunes for a dance party. For an upscale vibe paired with late-night partying, this is one of the best bars in Orlando.

Hard Rock Cafe - Orlando
4.4 (5333)
$30 and under
American
I Drive / Sand Lake
The Hard Rock Café is a staple across America. The location in Orlando is particularly fun because it is gigantic. It is jam-packed with memorabilia, and it offers regular live music in addition to a menu of delicious bites and beverages. The food menu here has bar classics like burgers and fries. The drink menu is distinctly Caribbean leaning (fitting for the Florida location). It has drinks like a Bahama Mama, a Rum Punch, and a Passion Fruit Mai Tai. Hard Rock in Orlando is at Universal City Walk. This means that visitors with tickets to either Universal Park can take a break from the rides and come to Hard Rock to refuel with food. Or, they can de-stress from long lines with a cold one. The concert schedule here is also impressive, attracting world-class names like: Elvis Costello, Elton John, Glenn Frey, TLC, and more. This makes it one of the best bars in Orlando to hear live music.

House of Blues Restaurant & Bar - Orlando

$30 and under
American
Lake Buena Vista
Another one of the best bars in Orlando for live entertainment is the House of Blues. House of Blue is in Disney Springs, and it is also an excellent spot for dining, drinking, and taking in live music. House of Blues also attracts world-class acts of a variety of musical genres, like Andy Grammer, Taking Back Sunday, and Coheed and Cambria. House of Blues has a distinct nightclub feel. While families are welcome to dine here, it’s best for the members of the group who can enjoy the music and the dark, sultry vibe of the venue. House of Blues Orlando is also famous for their gospel brunch. This happens every Sunday and features incredible gospel music and warm, comforting morning meals.

The Edison
4.3 (3677)
$31 to $50
American
Lake Buena Vista
Another one of the best bars in Orlando is in Disney Springs: The Edison. This 1920s-themed eatery and bar is a draw for diners and drinkers who want entertainment while they imbibe. The atmosphere inside the Edison is impressive and eye-catching: it is industrial gothic. This means it pairs soaring archways and dark, cavernous spaces with hard metallic accents. The Edison has a full menu of mocktails, as well as elaborate cocktails. So this is as great a spot for families and non-drinkers as it is for those who like an adult beverage.

It’s exactly what you’d expect from a Disney restaurant. Prices are steep, and you’re definitely paying a premium for the ambiance and location. If you go in knowing you’ll likely overpay, the quality of the experience makes it easier to justify. Overall, The Edison delivers on amazing food, stellar service, and unforgettable decor. Just be prepared for Disney-level pricing.

Sugar Factory - Orlando
2.8 (7645)
$31 to $50
Contemporary American
I Drive / Sand Lake
Sugar Factory is a trendy upscale drinking and dining joint on International Drive with a fun twist: it is also a candy store. Come dine in this bistro-like setting, then enjoy a sweet sugary drink to match with a meal. Cocktails here elaborate. Some examples include drinks like the Watermelon Patch: vodka, fresh watermelon, fresh lemon, citrus soda, and a mountain of gummy sour watermelon slices. There is also the Drake: black whiskey, peach puree, sweet tea with sour peaches, and strawberry lemonade cotton candy. This bar has one more twist that makes it even more unique: the specialty cocktails are the creations of celebrities.

Cafe Murano

Italian
Altamonte Springs
One of the best bars in Orlando that provides both indoor and outdoor dining and drinking space is Café Murano. This Mediterranean-themed eatery is technically in Altamonte Springs. Nightly, they serve up an Italian menu alongside an impressive array of cocktails and wine options. Café Murano is as popular for its atmosphere as it is for its drinks, so come here to feel like dinner is really a vacation on the Mediterranean Sea.

Wine Bar George - A Restaurant & Bar
4.8 (4135)
$30 and under

Lake Buena Vista
Another one of the best bars in Orlando for wine drinkers is Wine Bar George. This Disney Springs destination staffs a Master Sommelier to help pick out an unbeatable collection of wines. Come here to order a bottle for the table or to have a glass paired with some of the bar’s delicious eats. The food menu includes options like mac and cheese bites, grilled octopus salad, chicken skewers, and a cheese board. They have heartier meals served family-style, including skirt steak and chicken, so diners can have a heavier meal while they imbibe.

David's Club - Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate
4.7 (803)
$31 to $50
Steakhouse
Champions Gate
For a true sports bar, check out David’s Club at the Omni Resort at ChampionsGate. This dark, wooden bar with lots of TVs is great for any sports fan who wants to see their favorite team play while away from home. The bar has beer, wine, and cocktails, and it features snacks, but no full food menu, so come here for a drink before or after the main event of the night.

The food was very tasty and presented well. The staff was excellent. It was extremely noisy as the bar area is large and crowded. Additionally, there is a pool table at the end of the restaurant, not sectioned off, which adds to the noise.
