Expensive beer, but great experience. In Orlando for a conference and this was our last night in town and just what we needed to relax.

Really cool place to hang out before, and during Magic games. It has a decent amount of seating, and we like to go order food elsewhere, and then sit down here and eat while enjoying a beverage. Due to the Magic not being quite as hot of a ticket this year, you can get a spot overlooking the court a little easier, and if you have upper bowl seats, that is a fantastic option to get a much better view. Like others have mentioned, it's not a bad idea to buy some cheap tickets and hang out here, plus you are close to all the food and drink you could need while being there. It is also a great place to "meet up" with other people you know are also going to the game, as there is no mistaking where it is once you are inside the Amway Center.

Anytime I come to the arena, this is a definite stop for me. Occasionally ill scalp nosebleed seats and then just stand at this bar the whole time. Has a great view of whatever is going on, good selection of drinks (liquor and budweiser beer). Food and restrooms are super close.

The Baseline Bar gets a 5 star rating for a bar in an arena and a 3 star rating as a regular bar. As a bar at the Amway Center, it is the BEST. You never even have to go to your seats! You have a FANTASTIC view of the game from the bar. There's a timeout? You turn a round, take one step, and BAM you get a drink, turn back around and there's the game. They have beer on tap and in bottles, plus a selection of liquor. The bar itself is pretty big. You can get drinks from all four sides, and service is usually pretty quick. There is a fairly ample seating area, but you can't see the live game from the tables, but have no fear there are televisions everywhere plus you can always rely on the Jumbo-tron. Baseline is also very convenient to food and restrooms. As a regular bar, well of course it's the prices. I believe beer is around 7 dollars and liquor is between 7 to 10 dollars depending on if you go house or premium liquor. They are not allowed to make a double drink so if you ask for a 'double' they give you a mixed drink, plus a shot and still charge you exactly double the price. So there's no big win when you order a double. Be careful though, and I didn't make a huge deal out of this because it is newer and people may still be learning. During one of the earlier games this year, I left a 3 dollar tip on my card, and the next day when I checked my account they had given themselves a thirty dollar tip. Innocent mistake or devious plan to get extra holiday money?? You decide.

This is my favorite of the bars in the new Amway Center! Get there early enough before a game and you can just park yourself and watch from there! (Assuming your ticketed seats aren't at a better viewing location...) I love this place because it's large and they have plenty of bartenders, so the wait is never too long. It's a full bar - order whatever you want! It's also a great location close to Papa John's, Big Blue Taco (yummy tacos and nachos!), Coldstone, restrooms, etc.

Large 2 sided bar that is located on the South end of the Terrace Level and one of the most prominent features of the concourse. It is extremely popular for it's placement, spacious layout and view of the court. There are high-top tables scattered throughout the area and a standing room all along the railings behind the seats. Open to the bowl, it is a great place for everyone to enjoy a beverage, while never losing site of the action. It is conveniently located right across from Concessions and open to all that have a ticket to the event. The kicker is that if you arrive early and have terrible tickets, you can just stand along the rail and get an amazing view of the game. However, it does get crowded and I am sure it takes away from the experience for those seated near the bar. I am currently a fan as it has treated me well the one game I hung out here but not sure I would be a fan if I had to watch every game from there.
