The Basement Orlando

Stopped in randomly while me and my friend were looking for a bar to drink at before the concert we were going to opened up. Was the only place playing music at 7pm so we said “f it lets go.” Was empty but granted it was VERY early when we got there. The bartender Terrance (I believe thats what his name was) has the sweetest personality and just had the friendliest vibe. He was on the Aux and was playing bangers. Made our drink’s PERFECTLY, literally told him “ive never had a drink made so well before i dont know what you did to it but WOW it was delicious.” Followed him up to the Attic because he was just that amazing. The basement is now me and my bestie’s go-to for our concert pregames. ❤️

Drinks were good but food from papi smash burger was very overrated and cashier was very rude.

What kind of establishment are they running? Their excuse to not let my family member in is that they need something to scan. He’s visiting from another country and all he had was his passport. They tried to scam him by asking for $20 to be able it let him in. I heard them do the same thing with a different group that were all underaged. When I tried to ask the security guard why they don’t accept valid passports he got really defensive and very condescending and wouldn’t let me speak.

Great bar, nice atmosphere but service was terrible and it was a very slow night. Bartenders just standing there chatting in the corner

This place sucked, bartender was rushing me out so he could flirt with all the girls working or not, all the girls working not even paying attention on their phones. Literally the worst service I ever received.

Kids serving college kids inside of a small shoebox sized room. Not bad. Good on prices. Could work on service towards people more but not bad for downtowns standards.

The security/Door needs work

They let my friends(white) in except me (biracial) & my black friend on a Friday night. I was just here last week & the guy at the front said our ids were fake.. after proving they weren’t he basically said no blacks tonight. Lol I haven’t experienced racism so bad in Orlando but whatever lost my business. I’ll make sure this is well known though!
