The owner was an absolute delight. ID us once we ordered and made the best Gin lemonade. The atmosphere has always provided a perfect spot after a dinner date. Drinks are just a part of the reason I will return again and again!

This is my second time here, and the vibes are still great. The Saturn and the seasonal Dubai Chocolate are very different but equally amazing. These are the standouts for me, but the vibes are great no matter what you grab.

Caleb & Jesse at HandleBar in Mount Dora is hands-down the best bartender around! Not only do they make incredible drinks, but their energy, charm, and attention to detail make the whole bar experience unforgettable. If you’re lucky enough to have them mixing your drink, you’re in for a perfect night!

The owner of the bar greeted us and was unbelievably hospitable. Best bar in all of lake county. The quality shows and the prices are unbeatable. Love this place. Ask for Nick, he makes a hell of a drink.

This is my favorite bar in Florida. I’ve been coming here since they opened in 2020. They always have really high quality drinks that are not overpriced. I love coming in to try their seasonal drink menus every holiday. Highly recommend bartenders Nick and Jesse. You won’t be disappointed.

The decor, music, and overall vibe of this place are so fun—definitely a great spot for a night out. Even on a busy Friday evening, I was able to snag a cozy round table in the back for my friend and me, which was a pleasant surprise.
Bonus points for the upstairs bathrooms not requiring a code (unlike the ones downstairs)—a small but appreciated detail!
I ordered an espresso martini that was dairy-free (which I love), but it ended up being a bit too sweet and slightly watery for my taste. I only took a few sips before deciding not to finish it—not bad, just not quite for me. Since I was the DD, I didn’t bother swapping it out, but it was still the right call.
My friend’s gin cocktail, on the other hand, was light, mild, and super refreshing—she loved it! Also, shoutout to the bartender for bringing the drinks over to our table—such a nice touch.
I’d absolutely come back and give another cocktail a try. The atmosphere alone makes it worth a return visit!

During our trip to Mount Dora, we stumbled upon a charming little bar that perfectly suited our needs. It is located at the second floor of the market place. It had a cozy and inviting atmosphere, and the drinks were simply amazing. The bartenders were incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, making our experience even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be returning when we’re back in town.

Walked into this place on a whim as we had time to kill before a dinner reservation. So pleased we did! As soon as I walked in to see the fun wallpaper I knew the vibe was perfect. Lots of craft cocktails here so have fun and be adventurous! Hippos and eclectic cocktail glasses are fun. Bartender was a great conversationalist! I will be back for sure
