The Tavern East

There was such a variety of food and prices with drinks were not bad at all. You're looking for a brunch spot on Saturday or Sunday this is definitely a spot to check. $15 unlimited mimosas you can't beat that. A lot of TVs for all the sports fans in your life.

Not sure where to start. The restrooms improved since visiting last (men's). Service at the bar? Unsure. I had my first two drink orders taken in pretty stellar timing. Third drink order was put in with food. Drink came, food never did though ordered at the same time with a***r. Asked for the tab after waiting 30 minutes. 15 minutes later I see my card leave the bar area on a receipt with another bartender (as a bar sitting patron), go around the establishment as other checks were delivered, and come back. There are opportunities here but I remain hopeful it'll be right someday here. May have to stay on top of staff for your food orders. Just didn't have the patience today for it.

This is a solid local bar that I frequent for trivia--though it can be hit or miss. It's also a great space to watch sports or play darts. It's conveniently located in the Waterford Lakes Town Center. The drinks are affordable (as long as you skip the listed cocktails), especially with their specials and happy hour. Like most bars, the food feels a bit overpriced for the portions, but I wouldn't call it expensive. That said, the shrimp tacos were excellent, and the sweet potato fries were just as good. The service is always friendly and attentive, which adds to the overall experience.

Great environment for fun! We played Trivia, and ordered their food. Special drinks & shooters were also ordered. The service was great and the food was average, but still good. We ordered the chicken nachos, Sweet potato fries, and chicken quesadilla.

Ok, I get it that I'm not the target audience for this place. It's a college bar with cheap drinks and cheap food. There's certainly a time and place for that. Just not for me. Waitresses were very friendly and great so no issue there. We ordered chips and queso. Tacos. And a burrito. The queso wasn't melty and honestly most store brands are better. Chips were fine. But within 1 minute, the tacos and burrito came out. And we're talking within 3 minutes of ordering everything. My guess is they've got tacos and burritos premade and just zip zap them and send them out. Sure, I guess you could make that all in 2 minutes but I doubt it. Taste was fine but Chipotle, which I could see through the window, is better (but more expensive). So yeah, this is about ordering beer and cheap eats and watching a game. Again, totally a place for that and I probably would be a regular when I was 22.

The Tavern East is located in the Waterford Towers shopping plaza where Castaways used to be. Being in the Waterford Towers shopping plaza, parking is definitely not a problem. It is also conveniently located.I was only in here for a drink, but the service was friendly and the drink was cold. The place has what you would expect from a bar in terms of ambiance. They also offer the usual bar stuff to keep the patrons entertained. All in all, the Tavern East is a cool enough bar and a welcome addition to the neighborhood, though it will have competition with the other bars in the area.

I had previously visited the downtown location and loved it! It looks like a dive bar and has sports on the tvs. You will be warmly greeted by a server and seated. Our server was quick and attentive. She brought two pitchers of water as we were a large table of 8. We visited near the end of a busy trivia night but they seated us immediately. I asked about seasonal beers but they did not have any. I ordered Duke's Brown Ale and it was cold and refreshing. I also got the Birria Melt with sweet potato fries. The Birria Melt was really good, but the sweet potato fries were a little overly crispy. I can't wait to come back!

I love the Tavern's first location in Downtown Orlando, so when I saw their second location had burgers on the menu I knew I had to check it out! Their smash burger was awesome- I love that you can build your own and they have a variety toppings like bacon, grilled peppers, grilled onions. I also got the pretzel bites which were also delicious. The service was fast and everyone was friendly.

We highly recommend The Tavern East Orlando/Waterford Lakes area. The food and service is great! The staff - owners included are phenomenal !

Seriously, the worst food I've had in a really long time. Bartender was cool, venue was cool but I just don't get why they were even serving food if it was that bad.
