The Yummiest Pubs in Orlando

The Pub Orlando

★★★★☆ 3.8 (713) • $$

"The last time I was at The Pub was at the Cleveland airport and I used to get so excited to fly out of there because of it.So while recently visiting Orlando I was pretty excited to go here with my gf after discovering it on Yelp and have some fish and chips and some drinks.It's located at The Pointe which is an awesome area in general for a multitude of activities.I was impressed right off the bat with the overall exterior and interior of this location. It's as close to a real British pub as possible for being newer and a chain. We were greeted by the hostess and we chose to sit at a table in the patio area outside. It was during the solar eclipse so we got to see it while enjoying a beer and cocktail. The hostess and waitress were both lovely and were very attentive and the service was prompt. It was happy hour so we started off with two waters and I ordered a Harp draft beer and my gf ordered the Blue Hawaiian. Both were delicious!We ordered the Reuben Spring Rolls. I rarely if ever eat meat, but I had to have some of these to share and they were beyond the word tasty. We then proceeded to order The Best Fish & Chips in the U.S. to share and I don't know if they were the best I've ever had but they were definitely very good. The tartar sauce and coleslaw were both excellent!The whole ambiance of this place makes you feel like you're in a real British Pub and I love that this place exists.Thank you for the excellent food, drinks, service, and overall experience.We will definitely be back the next time we visit the area. Enjoy! :D"

Laura Lee's Cafe & Pub

★★★★★ 4.8 (6)

"Super sweet people who run this place! Fresh coffee and good French fries! Nice outdoor deck seating area. First timer and I'll definitely be coming back here to try out the food!"

Hagan O'Reilly's Irish Pub

★★★★☆ 3.5 (247) • $$

"My wife and I wanted to go to a bingo night... and a friend of ours hosts the bingo at this place. It's a great restaurant theme. Very Irish... of course.We did not plan to eat, just an appetizer and/or a dessert. I got the deviled eggs. These have paprika and bacon. Presentation of the plate was "meh", and taste was good with the bacon... not out of this world, but they were good. My wife got the brownie delight.... Now that was DELISH. Would have liked the ice cream on top instead on the side, but was still awesome.Our server was very attentive and came around every few minutes.We will definitely visit again."

Finnegan's Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (505) • $$

"Every time I go to universal I have to eat here! I have been obsessed with their potato leek soup since I was a little kid and it's so nostalgic to always have some here consistently good and familiar to eat so many years later! I also had the spicy chicken tenders which were delicious but you can't go wrong with a burger either! It's such a fun and cozy experience and everyone who works here is always so friendly!"

Big Daddy's

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (103) • $

"We went to Big Daddy's for a coworkers going away party. It was SO FUN. Karaoke is always a good idea lol. The best thing about it was the diverse group of people.....it was a reminder of how inclusive Orlando is and why it's so great to live here. Can't wait to go back!"

Frankie Farrels

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (155) • $$

"This spot is SwEET!We were in town just searching for a nice watering hole, luckily this welcoming Irish pub was around!Had a fun time with a few drinks. Friendly service Will be back!"

Irish Pub & Fish & Chips

★★★★☆ 3.5 (86) • $$

"Phil was our server. He always has a great personality, he's friendly and attentive. He's entertaining to the customers and everyone around here enjoys his service. The sandwiches and entrees here are delicious. The sweet tea is great and the restrooms are clean."

The Castle Irish Pub And Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.5 (98) • $$

"I have to admit, I wasn't very hopeful about eating here when O saw that the only vegetarian/vegan option was a black bean burger. Black bean burgers are often too mushy or spicy or bland or a strange combination of all three. But NOT SO at The Castle!! The black bean burger was flavorful, the patty didn't fall apart, and I'm pretty sure it's made in-house. If not, I will need the brand ASAP. We also had boxtys and irish soda bread which were both fabulous. Some of the best soda bread I've ever had, personally. The restaurant is pretty spacious inside with plenty of room for live music and events. The cocktails I tried (ginger snap and cold brew irish coffee) were delicious. Our server was as attentive as she could be considering there was a big event the night we went. We also met one of the owners, Paul, briefly as he came to our table to ask how everything went. That's always a nice touch and he seemed like he was very proud of his business. I can't wait to return and I will be bringing friends!"

World of Beer - OTown West

★★★★☆ 3.8 (135) • $$

"Visiting family in #orlando had an amazing #brunch @worldofbeer everything was delicious, our food came out quickly despite a full venue, it was hot and delicious. Appreciate you the fact that our water glasses were filled frequently without having to ask. Our dog enjoyed the pet-friendly atmosphere in the balcony and the customer service was excellent. Definitely coming back to try some more dishes and the beers!"

Roque Pub

★★★★☆ 4.3 (165) • $$

"Tried this place for the first time during burger week 2021.The sixth barrel burger was such a breath of fresh air-- burger wise. I haven't had anything like it. I loved it so much that I went back 5 days after my first experience. Mmmm those crispy jalapeños *nomnom*. ALSO! Get the beer battered fries :D*Be prepared, this place FILLS UP during Wednesday Trivia Nights! *All the staff are friendly and check up on you frequently.*The beer selection will sweep you off your seat! (P.S. I was told they stopped doing beer flights since covid)"

Fiddler's Green Irish Pub & Eatery

★★★★☆ 3.8 (369) • $$

"5 stars over our waitress kayla. What an amazing young lady bursting with every positive verb you can think of. She showed such an interest in our party of 8 and made an impression on each of us.Food was good and she went out of the way to make sure the vegetarian in the group had safe options. Kayla you will go places in this world. Keep shining girl."

Bull & Bush

★★★★☆ 4.2 (42) • $

"Stopped in for a quick bite to eat and something to drink. I had the fish and chips and the first time I tried Scottish eggs and they were delicious. You really need to go and check it out."

The Copper Rocket

★★★★☆ 3.9 (207) • $$

"The Copper Rocket in Maitland is the perfect neighborhood bar! It's nothing fancy, but that's what makes it so great! It's relaxed, welcoming, and always a good time. They have a solid selection of drinks, with something for everyone, and the food is always tasty and hits the spot.The vibe is casual and fun, with events like Karaoke night that add an extra element of excitement to your visit. Whether you're just grabbing a drink or hanging out with friends, The Copper Rocket never disappoints. It's the kind of place you can always count on for a laid-back night out. Highly recommend for anyone in the area looking for a great time!"

Liberty Tree Tavern

★★★★☆ 4 (678) • $$$

"My family and I enjoyed our lunch at LTT. Inspired by American Thanksgiving dinner, Liberty Tree Tavern offers coma-inducing fare--just like celebrating Thanksgiving dinner with the family at your mom's house. I just need a couch to take a nap after.For those dining in groups, Liberty Tree Tavern is a great option. The restaurant offers a family-style dining experience where everyone can share and enjoy the set menu. Moreover, it's all-you-can-eat, ensuring no one leaves the table hungry. My favorite items are the roasted turkey and pot roast. The Bill of Fare also includes oven-roasted pork, mixed greens salad, mac 'n cheese, mashed potato & gravy, seasonal veggies, herbed stuffing, desserts, and non-alcoholic beverages. Alcoholic beverages are available but for an extra charge.Ending the meal with the Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake is top-tear! Save room for dessert! Plant-based menu options are also available upon request.The staff and our main server were excellent. They were friendly and attentive throughout our whole meal. The dining space is homey and vintage, with dark-aged wood furniture and matching decor on the walls. It's a relaxing vibe for the most part, but it does get a little noisy when it's a packed house."

St. Andrews Tavern

★★★★☆ 3.9 (78) • $$

"I gave it four stars not because of the service or ambiance or the food but a glass had broken on me pieces going everywhere with water and just a nonchalant sorry.Other than that the service was good for a divey type tavern the food was on point and good. Service was good we went there for the fish and chips specifically so we weren't drinking. It is family owned and we would definitely be back The corn dogs were not greasy as expected the fish was cooked perfectly, I tried the tarter sauce but it just wasn't my style I used just the malt vinegar.We would definitely be back"

Sakeba Asian Pub & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.4 (118) • $$

"The food is always fast and fresh. Everything tastes great they have amazing happy hour specials. You get over five rolls for under $30 during happy hour. Service is always on point never waiting for a long time, usually sitting at the bar with my waiter TEN! ambience is awesome. They have great music playing and sports playing on tv. If you're on vacation or just want a quick bite here at Old Town definitely come visit."

New York New York

★★★★☆ 3.7 (87) • $$

"Had such a nice day! Not only got to watch a launch, but spent several hours after and enjoyed the lovely breeze & views while enjoying nice cold beers. Food was excellent, I enjoyed the jambalaya. Lots of meat & shrimp, I added hot sauce and was loving life! Partner had a massive hamburger & mother had the fried catfish! All meals were very good. Looking forward to returning here next time we are in Titusville. Best vibes ever!"

Oshucks Pub

★★★★☆ 4 (153) • $

"What a cool place! I'm from Thailand so this place is the first place I got to experience American-style karaoke. It's super chill but the owner, staff, DJ, and all customers are all so nice. The vibe was so great. I had so much fun with my husband and my friends."

Ivanhoe Park Brewing Co.

★★★★☆ 4.4 (146) • $$

"I'm obsessed with this brewery! This spot is family and pet friendly! I've visited a couple times now to get my favorite beer, Guavacation. Service is always fast and employees are attentive. They hold events here regularly. I would definitely follow them on social media to be in the know!"

Celebration Town Tavern

★★★★☆ 4.1 • $$

"Great food and great service! Grabbed lunch outside here and was excited to see daily AND monthly specials. Theres lots of seating inside and out, and they seemed to be set up to accommodate bigger groups.The server was knowledgeable about gluten free and answered allergen questions with confidence. I know a good wedge salad, and this one was delicious. Complete with shrimp, avocado, and a health serving of cheese and bacon. Also I think the dressing was made in house...so yummy!!We enjoyed our visit and will definitely return back here if in the area, go check them out!"

Bar Riva

★★★★☆ 4.4 (41)

"What a beautiful hidden gem of a restaurant. From the outside, it just looks like a regular poolside walk-up bar. That may be the case, as in you can order a beverage and bring it back to the pool but it's more than that. Extensive menu of food and beverages. This isn't your typical casual food spot with just chicken tenders, burgers and fries. I was really pleased with what they have to offer. It was our rest day and decided to check out different resorts. Riviera is such a classy, calm and relaxing place...would love to stay here some day. Looked at the menu prior to coming here and we had our heart set on the salmon with orzo. Wasn't expecting much but we definitely needed something on the healthy side since we've been eating "theme park foods" for the past few days. Wow!!! Pleasantly surprised. Salmon was cooked to our liking and the orzo complimented the dish really well. Portion was plentiful too. Definitely recommend."

Raglan Road Irish Restaurant & Pub

★★★★☆ 4 • $$

"This is a great Irish pub frequented by tourist and locals. It is quite popular especially on St. Patrick's Day week. The more popular option is to sit indoors to watch the Irish dancing. They also have live music inside and outside. It is also very competitive to try to get a table outside when they have live bands playing, but you can stand to side and enjoy the music and your beer.The food is great from the burgers to the bangers and mash to the desserts and of course Guinness beer. Peak times are absolutely busy and reservations are highly recommended. You'll get all your Irish cuisine fix'ng here. Love this place!"

The Leaky Cauldron

★★★★☆ 3.7 (814) • $$

"I got the fish and chips, and honestly, they were pretty great--especially considering the price for the amount of food you get, which is a nice surprise for Disney! There were three pieces of fish, a decent portion, though they were a bit on the oily side. Nothing too special, but filling and satisfying.Service was pretty fast, which is always a plus. But the real highlight? The atmosphere! The inside is decorated so well--it literally feels like you've stepped into Hogwarts. If you're a Harry Potter fan, it's definitely worth visiting for the immersive experience alone."

The Pub

★★★★☆ 3.7 (7)

"It is a dive bar! It is a cheap beer and wine joint that has poker. This is not something you can compare to a wine bar. Went here because we just wanted a drink. Did not expect absolutely anything. In fact, that is the best way to approach this place. Expect NOTHING, including liquor. Just wine and beer and cheap. If you just want to get out and you are in the fleabag hotel nearby for one night, this dive bar will fill the docket. Cheap, cheap, cheap beer and wine and service was good albeit we were a party of 3 and the only party. Service was great, we had the server to ourselves. She stayed open for us. I did not look at my bar stool which was a good idea. Not sure when the last time they cleaned it. It was a cow hide over a nice wooden stool that also had not been cleaned for some time. Go in have a cold beer and or cheap glass of wine, the 3 dollar bottle wine you get at Walmart and pay I think 2-3 dollars a glass and walk back to the cheap hotel. Bathrooms were about the same as the bar, and there is a poker on some nights. Parking looked easy if you drove. Would come back if we are on that side of town."

Barley & Vine Biergarten

★★★★☆ 4.3 (128) • $

"My husband, son, and I went here Saturday later afternoon. It was next to empty on the patio and we had many options of seating. It was great to not feel crowded with people. The owner/manager/bartender was so friendly and brought us out menus (Benji, I think was his name). They had a very large bottle list of beers and a nice variety of beers on tap. Lots of unusual beers you can't find anywhere else! Reasonable prices for craft beer. Inside had some board games and they had TVs showing different sports games. We will most definitely be back! One downfall is I did not see a changing baby table in the restroom."

The Thirsty Fish

★★★★☆ 3.9 (31) • $$

"Cozy little spot to enjoy the hotel harbor. The service is very pleasant, and everyone greets you in Italian which is a comforting touch. Sitting on the patio Saturday 7pm, and it feels much like 7pm in Italy, breezy and calm, prior to the evening rush. Their menus are quite satisfying with a decent variety of wines, signature cocktails, a substantial number of bourbons, with flight options and even cigars! A light variety of food options with a little something for most. Bites, burger, salads and flatbreads; they even have fish and chips. I opted for a cheeseboard with my wine and it did not disappoint.If you're looking for a meal or just a sip and some people watching, The Thirsty Fish is a solid choice.Also, you don't have to be staying at one of Universals hotels to come visit! Just look for the water taxi at the end of City Walk, hop in the lane for Portofino Bay, and enjoy a refreshing boat ride down to Orlando's own Italian harbor"

Grafton Street Pub

★★★★☆ 4 (67)

"Wholly enjoyable posh-ish pub, this. Actually took two false starts and a reservation to finally eat here over a few months. They can be uncomfortably busy and difficult to score seat. Hostess was a bit much once. Otherwise, solid fish and chips and good Gaelic fun. Irish I was drinkin' a Guinness right now!"

Mulligan's Pub

★★★★☆ 3.9 (104) • $

"Had a blast at Mulligan's Pub for Jukebox Bingo! It was a super fun night, and Brianna was an awesome server. Definitely coming back!"

Devaney's Sports Pub

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (53) • $

"Cheap food and drinks, plenty of parking. No reservations required for bigger groups. Nothing to write home about."

Kiwi's Pub & Grill

★★★★☆ 4 (126) • $$

"Wow! I have lived 3 miles from this bar for decades and this was my first visit. Shame on me! This place was hopping on a Tuesday night. You can't tell from the outside that this hot spot is huge inside and by 7pm it was packed. They sponsor a variety of events from trivia to pool tournaments. The food is OK, it's bar food but the service was very attentive."

Stephie's Pub & Irish Eatery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (63) • $$

"Great food, especially the veggie Sandwich they made it spicy by outstanding cook Patty! Others great folks are Angela/Andrea , Colin, Stephie and her crew!I miss going on Tuesdays as I am in India visiting my mother.Outstanding Irish Pub"

Murphy's Pub Orlando

★★★★☆ 4.3 (48) • $

"So glad we found this hidden local gem in Orlando! It is family-owned and filled with entertainment for all ages at all hours. We're tourists and this is the place to visit and hang in a local's favorite spot. They have karaoke Wednesday through Saturday, soo many arcade machines and 22 beer tabs. * FINDING THIS PLACE & PARKING: LISTEN CLOSELY it's EASY, facing Gator and Gulf, towards its Left: you will continue down the aisle you'll find Murphys Pub. Parking is fully available behind the pub!You want to watch a game? This is the place goes BIG to enjoy yourself and lol they are filled with Brits, it's so awesome to be surrounded by sports lovers.. They have a thing called the Pub Pass so they can show alll the premier leagues, if needed they'll open at 7 am to show the games at 7 am to drink beer! (My husband is freaking out) They show the NFL and more. This is our first of 2 nights but we are returning tomorrow and bringing our group to enjoy this place before horror nights. Elite Athletes like Emmerson from Brazil Soccer team have come here with their security to enjoy this humble, authentic spot. It is refreshing to find family-owned spot that is a 20-year dream come true. Owners, Ania and Chris, pour their heart and soul into this new place. Enjoy it. I love it, can I have one of these in Miami? Lol.. the arcade games are so much fun! This is worth checking out no matter who you are with. Brilliant place!"

Paddy's Pub

★★★★★ 4.8 (24)

"Headed into Orlando on Friday evening and was looking for a cool, but lively place to hang out. After a quick search of the area, I decided on Paddy's Pub and headed over. It wasn't overly crowded for the space and definitely looked like a place where people could have some fun. I spoke with Joey at the bar and she directed me to a high top. I was checking out the cocktail specials when she came over, and was between the Paddy's Old Fashioned with Bulleit whiskey or the Green tea, with Bushmills Irish. Joey recommended the Old Fashioned, so I went with that. I guess she could see how hungry I was looking after the more than three hour drive, so she brought a menu over as well. I ordered some wings with a combination of mango habanero and their fire sauce. I was neither disappointed by the drinks nor the food. They both hit the spot!!! And the service was awesome even though the bar ended up with quite a bit of people. I didn't stay to play pool or darts, but there were some guys very excitedly playing the golf game. Turns out they were pretty good also. Tunes were provided by the jukebox that could be accessed through your phone, and the atmosphere was just what I was looking for.Whenever I'm back in the area I'll be back. And hopefully won't have as early a wake-up call as I did the following day."

Gator's Dockside

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (208) • $$

"My daughter and I grabbed a quick bite at Gators Dockside this afternoon. Hannah C. (On my receipt) was our server. She was so sweet and great. They were busy and short staffed but everyone was nice. Customers were also kind to staff, which was nice to see.She recommended the Shrimp and Grits after I mentioned them. She said they have delicious shrimp, so although she had not had the shrimp and grits, she felt confident it would be great. So I ordered that, Bahama Mamma drink, my daughter got lemonade, bbq wings and fries. Everything was delicious. I mean super good. So good we ordered a ton of food to go for our family at home, and they sang the praises of their Pub Pretzel, fries, gyros, two different flavors of chicken wings (especially the Cajun Ranch). There was not one thing they did not think was awesome. Way to go Gators and Hannah!!!!"

Lil Indies

★★★★★ 4.6 (154) • $$

"Perfect place to go before a show at Wills. We love lil indies and the outdoor seating."
