Hanson's Shoe Repair

Great service, delectable drinks, and peaceful ambiance. One of my go-to spots in Downtown Orlando.

Alright, I will start with the positives of this speaksy bar. I appreciate the effort for decor, and lighting. From the minute you arrive, it feels like you're being transported to a bootleg bar with a hipster feel to it and modern twist. There had to be over 50 candles strategically placed and I loved the glowy dew it set. A romantic setting for a date. No food, gratuity included, passwords are posted daily on their Instagram, parties of 6 is the max, and a minimum of 1 drink per person. (Also limited seating)That being said, I thought it would be a fun unique spot to grab a drink with some girls for a girls night, but I will leave it off the list next time. Of course being a Speaksy, I was already expecting space to be limited so that wasn't a surprise. The problem begins with the service of ordering drinks. When we were seated, it was on the patio and the host gives us the menu and makes it pretty obvious that we can review the menu and place a drink order with him when ready. After about 15 mins. 2 other tables sat down after us and they received their drinks and we were just confused. So a couple of us (3 out of 5 in the group) go to the bar to place an order. I think at least 1 server could be on the patio delivering drinks because I noticed the bartenders are making the drinks and delivering them. I noticed another guest asked how the drink process worked, so it isn't very clear upon arrival.From my photos timestamps, here's the estimated wait times:Sat down at the table: 8:41pmOrdered at the bar: 8:58pmDrinks arrived: 9:22pmWhen the drinks finally arrived, they were small cocktails that were $15 + gratuity. Honestly, I'm not a big drinker and usually drink only a couple times a year for celebrations but the drinks were not worth the wait.I would recommend this spot if you're going on a date and want a unique experience, and are willing to patiently wait for a craft cocktail that you might not be too impressed with. Mathers Social Gathering is a better alternative for a larger group and in my experience, faster service. Also the seats at Hanson were VERY uncomfortable. Just Iron patio chairs for the outside area. Our legs went numb after our long wait for drinks.

Hanson's is awesome if you're looking to grab a seat downtown and have a nice drink! The "Hard To Find" was delicious. There is a one drink minimum and they are pretty pricey.

Ordered the intercoastal beverage with gin, recommended by Nico. He was so helpful with what I would like on the menu based on my preferences. Great ambiance with dim lighting. Will come back again.

Hidden gem in downtown Orlando! If i can give more starts I would. This speakeasy is absolutely amazing. Love their relaxing vibes and decorations. Decorated with old brick walls and low lightning it is the perfect place to have one of their authentic cocktails. This gem is located at the second floor of the Henson's building on Pine Street. As you walk to the second floor you knock the door and provide their daily password to come in. Passwords can be found daily on their instagram stories or by calling their phone number. When door is open you can either sit inside or outside on the patio and enjoy their unique craft drinks. My favorite so far is to hard to find coffee, dessert luxurious cocktail. I have already been two times and I cann't wait to come back and try other delicious cocktail. Service is fabolous, staff is so friendly and helpful. Gratuity is already included on the check.

Love this place! Very unique and cozy speakeasy Had their Christmas special eggnog and it was very good

Hansons is an easy 5 star review. We have always loved their inventive and diverse cocktail list. We came here last night after our Judson's Live event finished and tried the seasonal menu- specifically the egg nog. It was sooo yummy. The setting is super intimate and lighting is dark- but if the weather is nice you can sit in the atrium outside. There is a 1 drink minimum per guest. Follow their social media for the nightly password.

My favorite speakeasy downtown. If you get in right away you're in luck, but if there is a wait they always keep you informed and let you know you can also bring a drink from the downstairs bar while you wait.Once you go up the stairs to the Shoe Repair this is a wonderful experience from the moment you step in there to you last moments hanging out at the rooftop. The drinks are delicious and my current favorite would be the "hard to find" I hope this never goes away from the menu

Beautifully set in an almost-hard-to-find setting. Once you step through the doors, it's a whole different world. Take the steps up to the patio and you're met with a lovely nice of old fashioned meets modern touch. The ambience is relaxing and the cocktails beautifully made. Delicious to the last sip. Service was great too.

Love love love this bar. The mixologist at the bar are always on point and never disappoint with their suggestions whether on menu or off. Super cozy vibes, perfect for catching up with friends or for a date. They sometimes have artist painting live & than they sell the pieces. Good, good vibes here always.
