Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
The crowd and the inspector reached the same conclusion. The staff tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 5.0 stars.
Of the 23 rated reviews, 23 sit at four stars or better and 0 at two or below. What nobody raises here is tidiness — it goes unmentioned across all 23 reviews.
Against that, the kitchen inspects well — an A (98/100), 2 basic violations at the most recent DBPR visit. That result dates from May 12, 2026. Its inspection trajectory is upward over the records we hold. That puts it ahead of 80% of graded kitchens in Orange County. What the inspector actually wrote up: single-service and single-use items.
Nothing here pulls in opposite directions — an unusually clean read. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

great lagers. great food. great music

Let me start by saying the staff here is absolutely AMAZING. They are always so kind and attentive. Now onto the beers & food...their beer selection is fantastic, something for everyone who likes a cold beer. Food options are versatile and delicious, one of the highlights for us is the Sunday breakfast burrito...eggs, potatoes, cheese & bacon wrapped in a massive burrito- make sure to order the side of beer cheese and you wont be disappointed. Parking can sometimes be difficult, but a little patience and youll figure it out. Cheers!

Always a good time. Great food, great beer. Hazy/NE IPA's are tops. Their bacon is silly good so try a BLT or Pimento cheese w/bacon. Plenty of vegan options too. Side note - the artwork on their labels and merch is outstanding.

Our favorite hangout spot in Orlando. Good food, good beer, good people and awesome vibes.

The beer is consistent and never have I detected an off flavor. Parking always seems to be a premium, but worth the hassle. The food is good. Vibes are positive, and the patio is relaxing. Get a beer or two, hang out with friends, or make some new ones there!

Chill atmosphere in the heart of Orlando. Great beer and food with awesome staff.
