Hanson’s Shoe Repair is located in the oldest building in Orlando, but that’s not the most interesting thing about the bar. The establishment has embraced being a speakeasy, so much so that guests need to give the password, which they can acquire by making a phone call to the bar between 1-7 pm, to the gatekeeper before being allowed in. The bar opens up to a rooftop terrace, where you can catch musical acts. Bartenders take pride in creating specialty drinks here, so don’t expect the usual cocktails served in Hanson’s Shoe Repair. Around 25-30 people can be accommodated here at a time.

Aero is more of an outdoor nightclub than a conventional rooftop bar, which makes this the perfect destination for those who want to go dancing to the tunes spun by a DJ and have a good time partying with a crowd. In fact, most of the floor space is dedicated to dancing, although there are a few sofas scattered around for those who want to take breather. Drinks are served from Thursday through Saturday from 10 pm to 2 am and on Sunday from 5 pm to 11 pm. Pro tip: drinks bought before 11 pm are cheaper compared to those bought after.

A modern-looking bar, One80 Skytop Lounge is the place to see and be seen. It is said to be one of, if not the highest rooftop bar in Orlando, providing guests with sweeping views of the city. Arrangements can be made for VIP seating. Be aware, though, that this bar is high-end, and can thus quickly take a toll on your wallet if you’re not careful (there is a cover charge for entry as well). Be sure to dress up before heading here or else risk getting denied entry.

4. Latitudes

If One80 Skytop Lounge is said to be the highest rooftop bar in Orlando, Latitudes takes the title of being the largest one in the city. The tropical-themed bar makes people feel as though they’re right on the beach instead of being three floors up in the downtown area of Orlando. While there’s a cover charge to enter the bar, paying the fee also allows you to gain access to two other bars aside from Latitudes: Big Belly Brewery and Chillers. A 3-for-1 promo is offered for Happy Hour.

Located on the 11th floor of the Reunion Resort, Eleven is a restaurant that allows guests to enjoy views of the Magic Kingdom and even the nightly fireworks at Epcot. Besides handcrafted cocktails, steaks are also their specialty. Given the relatively small size of the venue, it is better to make reservations beforehand to ensure you can be accommodated, especially if you visit during the tourist peak season.

This restaurant may be located in Disney Springs, but it does offer adult entertainment in the form of music and drinks from 9:30 pm to 1:30 am from Thursday to Saturday. A DJ churning out tunes helps create a party atmosphere. Those who want a quieter atmosphere, however, can head over to the terrace to enjoy a meal outdoors. Besides being open for dinner and social hour, STK Orlando also serves brunch during weekends.
