Best Bars Near Your Orlando Apartment

If you have ever seen Spike’s Bar Rescue you know that not every bar is a good bar.  In fact, some bars are downright scary!   We won’t steer you in that direction, instead we have put together a list of the best rated bars in Orlando and some of the reasons why!

Better Than Sex

1905 N Orange Ave
Orlando, FL 32804

Website

We aren’t going to comment on this bars name, but the reviews for this unusual bar are phenomenal and it is only 2.5 miles from your Orlando apartment!  The concept of this unique bar is that most drinks come with the rim dipped in a complimentary flavor.  Try sparkling wine in a brulee caramel dipped glass or wine in a wine glass with local honey, or what about apple beer with a caramel dipped glass, or even brewery stout poured over a ball of vanilla ice cream, white chocolate dipped glass.  The walls are dark and the booths and bar are cozy, they have romantic lighting and pictures on the wall, that suit their name.  This is definitely one of Orlando’s best and creative bars.

Aku Aku Tiki Bar

431 E Central Blvd
OrlandoFL 32801

Some nights just call for a Tiki Bar and you are lucky that Aku Aku Tiki Bar is just right around the corner from 420 East apartments.  It is everything you would expect in a tiki bar, fruitful drinks in island inspired glasses, thatched walls, a large bar, the obligatory Hawaiian Hula lamp shade and lots of fun!

Considered one of Orlando’s classiest bars, the Bosendorfer Lounge in the Grand Bohemiam is a beautiful upscale bar.  They serve signature cocktails, an extensive wine list, great food and top notch bourbons.  The décor is dark with a round bar, dark lighting, and comfortable chairs.

“Hanson Shoe Repair Shop” had Orlando’s first electric sign and is now “home” to one of Orlando’s secret bars with hand crafted cocktails that will bring you back to the 1920s and prohibition.  This speakeasy is less than a ½ mile away.
