Broken Cage

We found this place on accident and were pleasantly surprised. The speakeasy serves food from the neighboring Rusteak restaurant with a few unique items (the open sesame shrimp were easily one of the best bites of the night, would certainly recommend). The service was very friendly but they forgot my cocktail until we were almost finished eating - they had a big party in so certainly understandable, just wish it had come sooner as I would have had another. Overall definitely worth going to for a date night environment!

When I have family and friends in town, I like swinging by here to hangout and grab a drink. The staff if polite and the food is really good. It can get loud inside but they do have seating outside too.

Before heading to the Wine Walk, we decided to drop by this charming little spot. We spent over an hour captivated by Jess, the bartender, during Happy Hour. What a beautiful person!Cocktails were unique and so tasty! I had the Florida Highball, a gin based drink bursting with citrus. The decor is spot on. The cozy booths felt like you were being nestled amidst the tree tops. And as for food, it's available to order from the connected restaurant, RusTeak. Everything was packed with flavor!I can't recommend this spot enough! It's truly a gem worth visiting.

So if you have decided that you want to visit Rusteak, visit the one in Thornton Park just to go next to it and visit Broken Cage. This little upscale bar is owned by Rusteak and is connected to it, but only located at the Thornton Park location. It is a very chill location with the only issue possibly being finding parking unless you pay at a garage not far from the location. Once inside be sure to take in all the nice decor and talk to the great bartenders. There is a happy hour which gives a nice discount to apps and signature cocktails.The cocktails are top notch and have very upscale combos which is nice. Then if you want food, with them being attached to Rusteak, you have access to their complete menu! They will of course bring and serve the food to you over at the Broken Cage side as well. Pro tip: If you do the Thornton Park Art walk I suggest parking and hitting up happy hour here first to start the festivities!

If you're seeking a hidden gem amidst the hustle and bustle of Orlando, look no further than this intimate and charming craft cocktail bar! Nestled just a stone's throw away from downtown and within walking distance from Lake Eola, it's the perfect spot to grab a drink before or after dinner. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with an atmosphere that's both cozy and stylish. The ambiance sets the perfect backdrop for an evening of relaxation and indulgence. The space is very small, but it's overflowing with character and charm.Each libation is a work of art, crafted with precision and care. It's evident that the mixologists here take pride in their creations, as every drink is not only delicious but also beautifully presented. Whether you're in the mood for a classic cocktail or something more adventurous, there's something on the menu for everyone.

I had a great experience here yesterday for brunch. There was no wait compared to all the other restaurants in the area that required reservations ahead of time. It's such a cute spot for brunch! Very great atmosphere. They have a full bar too. I ordered a sangria and it was made fresh! It was super tasty. For appetizer, we order the loaded potatoes which were AMAZING. I will continue dreaming about these potatoes! I ordered the Korean chicken and waffles, it came with egg and bacon and a spicy sauce that was so good. Of course it was way too much food for me to finish it all but I wish I could've. My friend ordered the crab cake eggs Benedict and I got to try it, they were sooo yummy! I also heard great things about the shrimp and grits. Overall, we had a great experience here and I will definitely be back. Service was great too, although there was only one person working everything was quick and he was very friendly.

We had originally planned to go to Mather social gathering, but there was a line and we decided that we were too old to stand in line so we found ourselves here. This place is on my list of spots to check out. It's always fairly empty, but the decor is so cute. It's hard not to visit. We ordered some fries and desserts about 10 minutes and there was an hour left until the bar closed on a Saturday night. we were group 2 couples and all ordered different drinks. Everything was made well. The bartender was really nice and we had the place to ourselves. That is a win in my book. Everyone enjoyed everything they ate and a good time was had all around that hidden gem in the neighborhood and not too far from downtown, so if you find yourself in downtown and wanna escape the craziness and have a good drink head over this way.

Amazing venue of unique custom craft cocktails. Jess was exceptional and knows her stuff. We will come back!

Was out on a date night and decided to try this place for some drinks to close out the evening. It is a smaller location with seating set ups, but we found a quiet table where we could relax and have our drinks.There was only one employee there who was bartending and serving. He was hustling, but there was not an service issues so props to him (and I didn't catch his name to mark it here since he was moving so fast). I ordered the Cool as a Cucumber (vodka, cucumber, lime liqueur, basil). It was the perfect refreshing drink to sip on while chatting on a quiet evening. I also tried the Daydreaming (gin, watermelon, lemon, and orange blossom). I really enjoyed this cocktail as well, but it was not as sweet as I thought it would have been (not a bad thing, but expected sweeter).I only did 4 stars since we did not try any of the food having eaten earlier in the evening so when we go back we will be sure to try some of the food and update to be more inclusive.Nice quiet place for an evening drink!

Great drinks and great service. Would highly recommend for a nice chill drink out with friends
