Top, Best & Fun Rooftop Bars in Apopka

"One of the biggest surprises during the pandemic was Dovecote Brasserie chef Clay Miller leaving the restaurant he founded (and partially owned) to become executive chef of the Ravenous Pig. It’s a powerhouse move for the powerhouse Winter Park stalwart, but even before Miller’s arrival, the Pig impressed with their stellar curbside conduct and equally astral Southern-tinged fare. Of note are its convenient curbside “dinners for two” offering everything from prime rib and Nashville hot chicken to shrimp and grits and short-rib tacos."

"This restaurant is a James Beard Award Nominee that sources local ingredients. The Ravenous Pig in Winter Park is 7 miles from the heart of Orlando. Husband and wife, James and Julie Petrakis opened the restaurant in 2007."

"No surprise one of the city’s best restaurants would serve one of the city’s best brunches every weekend from 11 a.m."

"The Boheme is a stylish and sophisticated spot on Orange Avenue that boasts an elegant setting with original artworks and modern décor for an upscale breakfast experience. The swanky eatery draws a crowd for early morning coffee and pastries, and long, languid mimosa and Bloody Mary-infused Sunday jazz brunches. The Grand Bohemian Sunday Brunch is a must with a delectable array of mouthwatering choices, including specialty chef’s stations, a la carte side items, and unlimited mimosas."

"Hotel: a delicious word that conjures crisp sheets, sleeping in, vacation. "Brunch" is another sleep-in kind of word. And when the accommodations in question are as top-tier as the Grand Bohemian Hotel Orlando, then you know the brunch â€" in this case a Jazz Brunch at its acclaimed Boheme restaurant â€" is going to be something truly exceptional."

"Located at Grand Bohemian Hotel in downtown Orlando, The Boheme is hosting an Easter Champagne Jazz Brunch with a wide range of entrees, gourmet family-style dishes, and tableside options, plus desserts and unlimited mimosas, coffee, tea, and sodas. Pricing: $74 per person. For more information visit website."

"Prato is an upscale enough venue in which to celebrate a landmark anniversary or well-deserved promotion but also casual enough to bring the (well-behaved, please) kids for some wonderfully crispy pizza from the wood-burning oven and sandwiches like the BLT panini or the excellent heirloom eggplant version. Exposed brick, twinkly lights and some patio seating on Park Avenue give the place a cosmopolitan feel. Prato's menu pulls on classic Italian for inspiration but pays due diligence to culinary evolution, allowing for creativity and some turns that might surprise you."

"Orlando's Winter Park neighborhood has become the center of the culinary scene in the city. One mainstay that always has people lining up is Prato. Each of the Italian dishes on the menu has a modern twist."

"Don't use the word hipster to describe this place,' says Tess, the server. She prefers 'weirdo eclectic.' Whatever you call it, you get the picture. This, er, hipster-hippie hangout has folks hiding behind..."

"This popular restaurant in downtown Orlando is hailed for its creative New American dishes and drinks. As its name suggests, no visit is complete without trying one of the signature mule cocktails, of which there are 9 different variations. Owned and operated by graduates from The Culinary Institute of America, this fun restaurant partners with local farmers, fisheries and small businesses to create its fresh and inventive meals."

"If we had a 10Best Neighborhoods for day drinking and eating list the areas around Thornton Park would certainly make the roster. And with its outdoor seating (and rustic-modern interior) the Stubborn Mule would get a mention. Brunch sort of screams "let's sit outside," as well, and so it would get a double-tap."

"Enzian Theater is a quintessential Orlando date night destination. The independent movie theater shows new films, cult classics and more and hosts the Florida Film Festival each year. Pull up a seat at the Eden Bar for pre-movie cocktails and bites."

"Island-vibe outdoor dining under the giant cypress of the ultracool Enzian Theater. The delightfully eclectic menu ranges from pear prosciutto pizza and quinoa-stuffed peppers to fried chicken and country fried..."

"We have 24 rotating draughts, including 8 House Brews, and 2 beer engines for cask-conditioned ales. We also have 250+ bottles, including a selection of vintage beers, and one of the best selections of sour beers in the southeast. Located just east of Harry P. Leu Gardens near the East End Market in Audubon Park, Redlight Redlight is an Orlando craft beer bar/microbrewery that offers an extensive selection of craft beers, both draft and bottled, including several house originals."

"There are a lot of tasty reasons to visit Orlando's trendy Audubon Park district, about 15 minutes from downtown, and this local haunt is one of them. It spent nearly a decade building a reputation as one of the top craft beer bars in the nation before becoming a microbrewery in its own right. In addition to house originals, several other craft breweries are represented on any given night, ranging from native Florida brewhouses to eclectic imports for more than two dozen choices."

Located in Audoban park eco-district area of Orlando and another location in Winter Park. With 24 rotating taps, including 8 of their house brews and over 250 bottle selection the host a Happy hour Monday through Friday from 3pm to 6pm and 1-4 pm on Saturday and all day Sunday!"

"For the kind of outstanding seafood feast that dreams are made of, you’ll struggle to beat Red Lobster. The menu is wide, the portions are generous (some may go so far as to say huge), and the prices are more than decent. The quantity of dishes to choose from can seem daunting, but for those who can’t quite make up their mind, the clever ‘create your own combination’ option gives you the chance to sample two dishes for $18.99 or three dishes for $23.99."

"‘Shell out’ for top-notch seafood here at the famous Red Lobster and you wont be disappointed!. There are so many combinations and offers to tempt your wallet as well as your tastebuds!. Tuck into crabs legs and lobster tail available alongside non-fishy fare, everyone will find something to fill their belly here!"

"Cool off in the icy spring-fed swimming hole, hike miles of trails and paddle the tranquil, still waters of the Wekiva River. Central Florida Nature Adventures, inside the park, offers 2½-hour guided tours, rents kayaks and canoes (two hours $17, per additional hour $3) and supplies overnight camping supplies. Reserve primitive riverside campsites in advance."
