<\/a><\/p>\nAs much as I love getting away pretty often, I do love Orlando and they have a few really unique and fun speakeasy themed bars.<\/p>\n
~<\/p>\n
Hanson’s Shoe Repair-<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Hanson’s Shoe Repair is the speakeasiest of the Orlando speakeasies on the list.\u00a0 There are very specific instructions on how to get in,<\/p>\n Call 407-476-9446 between 11am-10pm and SPEAK EASILY into your telephone receiver and we will contact you with the evening’s password.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Once you have your password, you head to NV Art Bar on Pine Street, tell the bouncer at the front the password and he will escort you upstairs to a fancy secret door, where you wait for another escort to take you into Hanson’s.\u00a0 Once inside you will find great prohibition era cocktails priced at around $12 per drink.\u00a0 There are no photos allowed inside, but there is a rooftop terrace you can knock yourself out on.<\/p>\n There are also no specific rules on bathroom photography.<\/p>\n ~<\/p>\n Pharmacy-<\/a><\/p>\n This one is perhaps my favorite, though I’ll admit it may be because I don’t have to go downtown to get there.\u00a0 It’s located in the Delagio shopping center in Dr. Phillips, south of Downtown Orlando.\u00a0 It also may be because they serve food, really good food.\u00a0 The food can be a little pricy, but they have amazing pizza that’s perfect for sharing.\u00a0 The star of the show is of course their cocktails.\u00a0 They have a constantly changing menu of unique cocktails, many of which are crafted with their house-made sodas and bitters.\u00a0 My current favorite is the Papa Oaxaca, a mixture of mezcal, grapefruit, and agave with a ghost chili lollipop stirrer.\u00a0 It’s smokey and spicy and just the best.<\/p>\n ~<\/p>\n Park Social-<\/a><\/p>\n This is the newest speakeasy to the scene.\u00a0 It’s located in Winter Park, which is a neighborhood just north of Orlando.\u00a0 This is an oddly themed bar.\u00a0 There is a payphone outside that you punch a secret code in to (obtained by calling the bar before you get there).\u00a0 Once inside you’ll noticed it’s more of a mid-century speakeasy, which doesn’t totally make sense thematically, but prohibitions been over for a while so I’ll allow it.\u00a0 The bar is full of furniture you could find in grandma’s basement from the 40s-70s.\u00a0 And they make a hell of a cocktail.<\/p>\n ~<\/p>\n Courtesy Bar-<\/a><\/p>\n This one is more of a vintage themed bar than a true speakeasy.\u00a0 It’s located in Downtown Orlando and serves a variety of fancy craft cocktails.\u00a0 Get there early though, this place is small and fills up fast.\u00a0 If you can get one of the booths or sofas though, you’re in business!<\/p>\n ~<\/p>\n Capones-<\/a><\/p>\n This one is for sure not a speakeasy.\u00a0 It’s a 1920’s gangster themed dinner show and it’s weird and it’s wonderful.\u00a0 I went with some friend to the matinee showing and we were the youngest there by at least 100 years.\u00a0 It is still Florida after all.\u00a0 Seriously though, there was more than one person that arrived on a bus full of senior citizens to celebrate their hundredth birthday.\u00a0 We were at least the only people there that didn’t remember actual prohibition.\u00a0 Still, I can’t turn down an all you can eat\u00a0 buffet and open bar, that’s just fiscally irresponsible.\u00a0 As an added bonus, since we were the only ones that could get on stage in a timely manor and with out the major risk of a cardiac episode, we got to participate in most of the show!<\/p>\n ~<\/p>\n\n
