Speakeasies in Orlando

While the city is known for its amusement parks and temperate weather, Orlando also has a wild nightlife and many unforgettable speakeasies. You can explore your city with a bar crawl or spontaneous nightcap. The added allure of saying a password to enter or sneaking through a hidden entrance is complimentary to the drama of the city. Whether you are moving to Orlando or you want to get to know your city better, checking out a speakeasy can be a fun way to spend your evening. The following list can serve as a jumping-off point for exploring Orlando’s bar scene.

Hanson's Shoe Repair

With a cozy downstairs bar and locally known upstairs speakeasy that features an open-air patio, Hanson’s Shoe Repair is a two-part experience. You can find the password to enter the speakeasy on their Twitter page or by texting the number listed on their website. They have hosted events and musical performances in the speakeasy, taking advantage of their prime rooftop real estate. Whether you want to host a private event or spice up a date night, Hanson’s Shoe Repair will rise to the occasion.

The Vintage Speakeasy Bistro

With a decorative nod to the prohibition era and an in-house jazz band, The Vintage Speakeasy Bistro has a clubby ambiance. This speakeasy combines upscale elegance with the exciting atmosphere of being in on a local secret. While many visit this illustrious venue, the intimate seating and dimly lit nooks allow patrons to get lost in conversation or entranced by the music. The Vintage Speakeasy Bistro has shots served in chemistry beakers and cocktails with aromatic fog bubbles. These picture-worthy drinks have customers documenting their beverages.

Jewel Orlando

For a sultry evening with live music and low lighting, Jewel Orlando conjures up the roaring 20s in their swanky speakeasy. This dueling piano bar has gambling for charity and signature cocktails. Their drink menu includes a flight of martinis, local beers, and an extensive wine list. If you need some snacks to keep the festivities going, they have a food menu that may be small but packs a flavorful punch. Most wait for the first few notes of each song, eager to hear if they recognize the tune. Others put in recommendations and patiently wait to listen to the live rendition.

Vault 5421

Located in the back of a comic and game store, Vault 5421 has been carefully designed to resemble a fallout shelter. If you want to step out of real life and into a video game, this speakeasy has the production quality of a Hollywood blockbuster and serves over 80 bottles ranging from beer to sake. Vault 5421 has old-school arcade games that pair nicely with any of the seasonal cocktails. Their rotating cocktail menu brings locals back in for more. You could even book this venue for a game with friends, strengthening everyone’s imagination as you play. This vault opens most evenings at 5:00 pm, and you can drink and play well into the evening.
