I love everything about the Lake Nona Wave Hotel, including the lobby bar that is set just off the main check-in area as you're heading outdoors to the stunning sculpture garden next to Bacán. We arrived early for our dinner reservation at Nami and decided to grab a quick drink at The Living Room Bar. I love the comfy seating and eclectic vibe of this hotel. You can walk around the sculpture garden with lots of fun photo-ops or head up the stairs to sit under the pretty pink tree in a more intimate lounge area. I've tried both the Heart Beatz (tequila, hibiscus, pomegranate, fee foam) and Thomas Edison's Bright Idea (Lillet Blanc, Chandon Garden Spritz, soda) which were very refreshing and delish. They also have a tapas style food menu available if you want something to nibble on. There is free parking available in their garage which is always a huge plus when visiting a hotel as a local!

This is a bar in the lobby of the chic and upscale Wave Hotel. The bartender was friendly and the drinks were delicious and pretty. The drinks are pricey but I expected that because of the ambience. There are also appetizers but I didn't try any. Will definitely go again...and try some of the apps!

The ambience in general of the wave hotel is so beautiful. Both inside and out. My friend and I were coming in to have a drink before dinner and were the only ones at the bar. We were greeted warmly and ordered our martinis. SO GOOD! I loved looking at the decorations on the wall and the glowing trees that were places near the stairs headed up to the second restaurant. The service here at The Living Room was great and the bartender was cheerful and seemed to be happy we were there. I even heard they did live entertainment near the bar seating so I will absolutely come back to enjoy what the living room has to offer

Really enjoyed our time here this afternoon! We sat at the bar which is on the first floor, across from Bacan (next on my to try list). The cocktails were fantastic and the bartenders were super attentive. Unfortunately the kitchen downstairs wasn't open yet but they offered us a select menu from the upstairs kitchen. The fried calamari was fantastic! Perfectly breaded and crispy, while super tender with a really nice aioli and grilled lemon. Really interestingly decorated- you just don't know where to look first and the more you look the more you find! Very instagramable. Strongly recommend this spot for a cocktail!

After checking into our room, having dinner at Haven and walking to Boxi Park. We decided to end the night at the hotel bar. It has such a lovely calming vibe. There was a gentleman playing his guitar and singing wonderful songs. My husband ordered a michelob ultra and I asked the bartender if he can make me a spicy margarita. It was so delicious and had the right amount of kick to it. But when receiving our tab it was $30.12.. The price was a bit shocking.. $30!?! The beer was listed at $7 I believe. MAYBE $8 but that leaves my margarita at $20-$23!!! YIKES! Was going to go for another but decided not to anymore..

I absolutely love this bar, so intimate and it's surrounded by cute artsy decor. Tonight (Friday night) they had a live singer who played the sax and guitar and sang the most beautiful throwbacks of r&b, it was such a nice vibe. They also have a good variety of spirits to choose from. My favorite signature cocktail of theirs is the Heart Beatz. Great spot for a date or intimate convos and chill vibes, highly recommend.

Ordered the octopus and it was good. Not too tough well spice. And the price is moderate. Service was fast. Great ambience
This bar provides some of the best cocktails I ever had. The mixologist pay attention to details and were willing to make modifications to the recipes. I was impressed by the service and wowed by the drinks. I highly recommend this place plus they have live music which adds to the vibes.

We have to rethink our own living room after a visit to this place. We stopped in for a drink before heading up to the Haven for a drink. Gotta pace yourself, right? What we found was a small bar right outside the entrance to Bacan. However, there are tables throughout the Wave Hotel "lobby" area which comprise the scope of this bar. Each "section" could be a setup for a living room in an eclectic lottery winner's house, many of which could be accomplished with a trip to a few different Homegoods. There's a wide variety of art, furniture, tables, and lighting which just makes the atmosphere elegant and quaint, until some schlub walks through in shorts and a t-shirt wheeling a suitcase. That's not enough to lower the rating though. The service area also goes up the stairs where there are seating areas on the stairs heading up to the 2nd floor where Haven is located. On weekends, they have live entertainment which on the night we were there was an acoustic guitar player who played the acoustic guitar since that's how that job works. The waitress was friendly and checked up on us regularly as we were deciding as well as during our drinking experience. Her drink recommendations were spot on. Plus, the ice was cold! We could see ourselves coming here again and again.

The smallest yet most quaint bar inside of the wave hotel! A must if you're in the vicinity. I ventured in after dinner nearby! I ordered a heart beatz cocktail and it was delicious. It was sweet yet citrusy (think cranberry), I sipped on it while taking a stroll in the back area of the hotel, such a quirky cute place! I also tried the exit pursue by bear; it had more of a smokey taste from the whiskey. The neptunia fizz had a more refreshing taste, not too heavy in the cucumber. The living room bar also offers a nice variety of small bites, definitely something interesting and new to try out. Cocktails are priced a little above $15, so a little more pricey than other places, but still worth the try, you don't be disappointed.
