50 Best Sports Bars near Lake Buena Vista

“My name is Dave and I was an original employee in 1994. I also worked for Disney for 35 years,so I had the best of both worlds. Shades of Green has a warm spot in my heart. I grew up in the military in Germany and visited the different R&R centers there, so when I heard the hotel was opening I applied. I was the bartender at the Garden Gallery Bar for 8 years until the hotel went down for renovation. I met so many people from a life I grew up in from all branches of the service. I was honored to meet WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan veterans while I was there. The original hotel only had 350 rooms and after the renovation it’s what you see now. In my tenure there we were the envy of all the hotels because we were full all the time. For our military this hotel holds the same standards that our sister RR centers have in Hawaii, Germany, and Korea. It’s the best bargain in Orlando Florida. If you do go across the street to the Polynesian Hotel and enjoy Ohanas on the second floor you and I will have traveled the same ground going back to 1976 when I started as a busboy.“

“The food was delicious and there is a great selection of local beer. The service was top notch! Enjoy“

“A lovely quiet resort, immaculately presented and close to Disney Springs. We had a studio which was great for our family, really spacious. Lots of storage and useful kitchenette. Daily housekeeping was great, plentiful supply of towels, coffee, soaps etc. Wider resort was lovely to walk around. We were in Paddock which is a good distance between the main springs area and Disney springs. The pool area in paddock has a slide and kids splash park with a great bar, which has a drinks station for resort mugs open till 10. Buses were not full as we were on stop 3, not far to walk to our room in block 5. Used the artists palette for a few supplies and one breakfast. Nice but there were better quick serve food selections in non DVC resorts. All staff were great, quick to help and made our stay a breeze. Wouldn’t hesitate to return or recommend, but more resorts to try out yet.“

“Food and services was amazing“

“We were there today for lunch passing through on our way back home to Fort Pierce and sat outside. I gotta say our server JC was the best server I have ever had anywhere. Funny, personable, nice guy. We enjoyed our time there immensely thanks to him. Give that guy a raise & a bonus!!“

“Just wanted to thank Sierra for her service when I come w my friends. She always makes everything easy, suggest different things, and never makes us feel like a burden with complicated orders. This place is very convenient in location and to watch the game and fights. Thank you again, Sierra!“

“Absolutely the best experience I’ve had at Twin Peaks, all thanks to Grace and Aleighya! These two are not only incredibly skilled behind the bar but also know how to make every guest feel like a VIP. They’re quick with a recommendation and even quicker with a laugh, creating a fun, upbeat vibe that keeps people coming back.

Grace has a way of remembering your favorite drink and makes it perfectly every time. Her attention to detail is top-notch, and you can tell she genuinely cares about her customers. Aleighya is just as amazing—she’s energetic, engaging, and goes above and beyond to ensure everyone’s having a great time. Together, they make an incredible team and create an atmosphere that’s hard to beat.

I can’t recommend Grace and Aleighya enough. If you’re at Twin Peaks, find a spot at their bar! You’ll get fantastic service, delicious drinks, and unforgettable energy. Best bartenders hands down!“

“We had a great lunch while watching the game! Nathan, our server, was fantastic and made sure we had everything we needed!“

“Care Bear and Kristina took great care of us at the inside bar! Happy New Year!“

“Came for a friends birthday surprise watch party for the Bucs game. The service was amazing, especially with the uostairs mezzanine. David was an all star during the whole thing. He even captured the surprise moment on video with his 360 camera! You can tell he has an event background and made it truly special for all of us!

Have been back a couple times since them and love the food as well as gameday atmosphere. 100% recommend. David is a real assest to your event team. Defintely keep him around for each and every event.“

“We had a group of seven friends come to open play and it was great. 3 courts using the paddle rack (4 off and on) and 1 challenge court (winner stays). We stayed for lunch after and everyone enjoyed their food and drinks. We will definitely be back!“

“This is the best Irish bar on international drive, food excellent, drinks perfect and staff amazing especially Dayton is fantastic! Highly recommend£“

“Awesome place with super cool people and service! Always love coming here when we visit from Canada 🇨🇦“

“The service was fast, food and caipirinha was just like in Brazil, and it was so tasty. Best meal we’ve had in crowded Orlando!“

“Best restaurant in town. I stayed in the Holiday Inn across the street. I ordered the Burger and the seasoning is crazyyy the food will blow your mind. Would definitely recommend this place“

“Great bar with an amazing staff! I highly recommend. If you're having a bad day Melissa will for sure make you laugh.“

“I will say this. First off, Estela mas such a great and adorable waitress with a big smile on her face.
The ambiance was nice and my wife and I like the vivid atmosphere of a typical Brazilian restaurant (I'm a brazilian and my wife hispanic).
The beer was cold and they were delivered promptly (The house wasn't crowed at all).
My only disappointment was the food portion. It was awfully undersized for the price. $6.00 for each small portion of regular sides of rice, beans, salad, etc, is just outrageous and $40 for a churrasco mix with barely any red meat (there were mostly chicken and pork).
I will still come back when I am NOT hungry just looking to drink a beer and eat a simple appetizer though.“

“Came in after a long shift and was instantly in a better mood when I got greeted. The bartenders definitely make you feel like you’re a regular they’ve known forever. Maria is the sweetest and represents this place in the best way. Thanks for a great time and I’ll definitely be back :)“

“I always have the best time thanks to Kailyn Cj and Kelly aka pink hair don’t care🥰🥰“

“Just moved into the area. This will be our new go to spot for quick Italian. Has a full bar, pool, and club!!! Here we go!!“

“Tiffany at Boardwalk sports bar was amazing! Here by myself because Delta canceled my flight, and she made me feel at home with her delightful conversation. And then Angelina came in and provided the same excellent service! These women are great, serve outstanding drinks, and are able to engage in awesome conversations! And the drinks were cheaper than expected! Def recommend! 12/10“

“Great place for food, went several times on my trip and the staff were friendly and amazing too. Anyone know Ashley that works behind the bar? 🍺“

“Yash, is the man!!! We were looking for a good Indian restaurant in Orlando, and what found was an excellent one called Tamara. This place is at the lobby of the Cambria Hotel tucked behind a Walgreens on International Drive. Service wise with Yash spearheading the attention we felt well attended. We were so hungry that we skip the appetizers, and yet, they brought the flattest bread I have ever seen with 3 dipping sauces. After that it was downhill from there in a very good way. The naan breads, garlic and the aptly name butter tandoori roti were amazing. Follow by the Pandara Chicken, and the Tamara’s Special Goat Curry that were exceptional. Yash showed up at the end, with a extremely good Rasmaili dessert that was light, tasty and refreshing all at once. This is a place to bring a date, friends or family and have an elevated Indian cuisine meal. Cheers to Tamara…..

Dietary restrictions: Plenty of vegetarian and non vegetarian options.

Parking: It is share parking with the hotel.“

“Byleigh is one of the best bartenders great fast service with a smile and will make you laugh.“

“Love this place!! Host Melanie was such a delight, amazing customer service.“

“This is a really relaxed, fun place to gather with friends for pool and some drinks/apps. No one there was remotely pretentious or intimidating, so it's perfect for beginners and pros alike. Nice selection of seasonal and craft beers and a great variety music (everything from reggae to country to hip-hop)! We will definitely be back!“

“Burger was seasoned great I would cook me back. The bartender was super.“

“Awesome I love the chicken wings!“

“we had Asia waiting on us tonight. She was wonderful fast and really gave us great service. We are glad we came to this location tonight it will be our new Hooters to go to.“

“I ordered food through their app. I suggest do not use Applebee's app. Then I pulled up in the spot after finally ordering my food through my iPad. It was after 4:30pm and my food was not delivered so i had to go in and it was sitting there on the table. So food was warm, fries were soggy. Drink was watered down.“

“"Excellent experience at Applebee's! Our waitress Eli was absolutely friendly and friendly. The service was fast and efficient, and the food was delicious. Eli made sure everything was perfect and made us feel at home. Thank you so much for the excellent service! We will definitely return to Applebee's and ask Eli to be our waitress again. 5 stars well deserved"“

“great beers friendly hosts“

“Aaliyah was such a great hostess“

“My son and I shared a burger and the bacon Mac and cheese (2 dollars more than fries). I’m picky about what makes a burger really tasty and this burger meant the mark. I the meat was cooked medium rare and was very tasty! I’m also not a big pickle fan but the pickles were great! The Mac and cheese was also good although could use just a bit more flavor. Our server Andelis was a lot of fun. I also appreciated that they divided the burger before bringing it out without us asking“

“Link was amazing! He was very helpful and his customer service was exemplary. My family and I had a great time celebrating my dad's birthday here at TGI Friday's, especially under the service of Link! Definitely request Link to be your server!!“

“We were there tonight with a group of 25 and Hannah B knocked it out of the park. She was patient, kind, accommodating and an absolute sweetheart!! Our kids appreciate your work with Autism Society Greater Orlando. Thank you!! We appreciate you !“

“Keely was very pleasant and attentive to us even though it was obvious this location is understaffed.

Dietary restrictions: Keely was great at confirming my sandwich would not have cheese as I have a dairy allergy. It is great to know food restrictions are taken seriously.“

“Excellent Beef on Weck and amazing nachos! The owners are awesome and we loved the small town pub atmosphere. GO BILLS!!“

“Good family fun Great service“

“I had an amazing time at the Cat-tail pool bar in Rosen Shingle Creek, Orlando. The food was fantastic, and I must say, their Nachos are a must-try - absolutely delicious! Pablo's cocktail creations were top-notch, truly fantastic. His friendly smile and sense of humor added an extra layer of charm to the whole experience. While the prices are on the higher end, the overall experience made it worth it. I highly recommend this spot for a great poolside dining and drinking experience.“

“Really good food and reasonable prices Friendly staff Family friendly Overall great experience“

“Cianna was a wonderful bartender. To be honest, this was a highly equipped bar for a vacation destination. They were out of cocoa butters and the bartender quickly recommended a replacement and an additional suggestion. We appreciate the tequila and bourbon variety!“
