Swizzle Lounge

I stopped into the lobby bar Swizzle when at the Cabana Bay hotel yet again when I was in town the other week.I first stayed at the Cabana Bay a couple years ago on a whim. Once I stayed once and appreciated the midcentury design of the place I was hooked. And the Swizzle Lounge was definitely one of the perks. When I was running late, driving north after work from South Florida I had a 1st primary objective, make it in time to grab one martini at Swizzle. I was making ok time but when I got into the lobby I knew I only had 15 minutes to spare. And there was a long line to check in. When I finally checked in I only had minutes left.I walked up the busy evening bar with little to no hope. And yet one of the busy bartenders saw me and said they had last call already, but they would get me for one. Halleluiah.One martini later and I was ready to wander to our room. The Swizzle is retro, brightly lit, and especially friendly. Looking forward to stopping in again soon.

If you can get past the theme park resort pricing, this is a great little lobby bar! I have been here many times across multiple Cabana Bay stays. The drinks are top notch and the bartenders are talented and efficient.For the Halloween season, they have cute decorations and fun spooky drinks. They always have a good variety of drinks to suit different palates. If you're staying at Cabana Bay or just passing through, don't miss the Swizzle Lounge!

Probably one of the BEST martinis I've hadAll of the other drinks in our group were phenomenal phenomenal. But obviously it's on the pricier side since it's at a resort but I really enjoyed it.

This is one of my favorite hotels in the world and I love that they have four bar areas with a slight variety in their listed drinks. I also like their draught beer selection. It is usually a combination of familiar beers and some I am not able to get at home. Their prices are not too bad and they always have the ability to make some non-alcoholic versions of the drinks and mocktails. It is located in the lobby and unlike many hotels bars I have seen, this one seems to get a good stream of customers. The good amount of selection is fabulous for a "budget" hotel and there are plenty of good places to sit both inside and outside the hotel. The people working here are always kind and helpful.

We just wrapped up a family staycation at Universal's Cabana Bay Resort and the best part of the whole property might just be Swizzle Lounge! The bar is located in the hotel lobby and currently has a Halloween themed overlay. As a huge Halloween Horror Nights fan I was SO excited about this. Not only did they have Halloween themed drinks, but they had pumpkin decorations everywhere. It was the perfect spot to sit at after a long park day. We went two nights and both nights the bartenders were so friendly and helpful when I had a question about one of the drinks.

Swizzle is located in the lobby of cabana bay close to universal studios we came in for a late night cocktail love the staff very vibrant and the bar is completely with the Halloween theme I definitely will be coming back

My husband and I stopped off at Swizzle Lounge before our dinner one of the nights of our anniversary trip, and we really enjoyed our drinks.But we enjoyed the bartenders even more! They were so friendly and wonderful! I was tasked with choosing a drink for my husband since I won a game we have with each other where we guess the amount of our check at dinner before it comes. Anyway, I ordered him a spicy margarita and the bartender said "do you want the one one the menu or the one *I* make?" We obviously chose the one *he* makes. My husband absolutely loved it!We also chatted with a bartender who just had an amazing personality! I loved her glasses and she gave us a bunch of tips for our upcoming dinner!I ordered an espresso martini because I was fading fast after a day at the parks. It was pretty good too!From what I can tell from previous days, the bar fills up quick so plan for that!They had decorated the bar with Halloween decor that was totally in the theme of the hotel: mid century modern. And we found a lil boo!Stop by and grab a drink if you are visiting Cabana Bay!!

Quality of the drinks are highly dependent on who your bartender is. The first night at Cabana Bay my boyfriend got one of the old fashions and loved it so much that he asked the bartender if she would be working all week. When we came back a few days later we had a different bartender who seemed to put little to no thoughts into making our drinks. He didn't add the garnishes and the flavors were off for both of our drinks. All that to say you might get either an incredible or a very "okay" drink depending on who is making it.

This retro-hotel lobby bar delivers more than just standard beverages with a creative menu (seasonal options) as well as friendly & engaging bar staff. Great place to wind down after visiting the parks and close down the evening with a relaxing environment and adult beverage. Two thumbs up.

Wowza! This bar was such a convenience for us! After a long day traveling from Fort Lauderdale to Orlando we saw this bar was open so we decided to grab a quick drink before going to our room. The bartender Brian greeted us with so much positive energy it was infectious and made us forget about our tired aches and pains. We asked what he recommended from the options we were pondering so we decided to try the Nutty Russian and the Swizzle Punch. Both of these drinks were unique tasty and packed a punch. They were so good we had to go the following day to get more! If you're in the area and fortunate enough to have him as your bartender I highly recommend anything he makes since it was all delicious!
