Central Florida is best known for its amazing array of family-friendly theme parks and attractions, but a vacation to the area isn’t just for kids. Here are the best spots for adult-oriented eats and entertainment in the Orlando area.
Disney After Dark
When you vacation in Central Florida you’ll quickly learn that Disney offers fun in many forms, extending beyond just theme parks. Over at Disney Springs, you can enjoy shopping, dining, and adult offerings like upscale, in-theater dining at AMC Dine-In or cocktails and contortionists inspired by the roaring twenties at The Edison. You can also catch an ever-expanding lineup of live music at House of Blues Orlando or take in some song, dance, and brews at Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant. And if staying up late isn’t your thing, you can still engage in plenty of 21+ fun during the day at EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival, where you can sample beverages and bites as you make your way around the world.Walk on the Wild Side
Universal CityWalk is located next to the Universal Studios theme park and offers a unique collection of clubs, restaurants, and bars. Here, you can kick up your flip-flops at Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville, try the luck of the Irish at Pat O’Brien’s Orlando, or vibe at Bob Marley– A Tribute to Freedom. Entertainment venues at the walk also include Hollywood Drive-In Golf, offering a circa-1950s cinematic mini-golf experience, CityWalk’s Rising Star for karaoke fun, or Hard Rock Live Orlando for chart-topping live music acts. The fun can keep going late into the night since the clubs and bars at CityWalk stay open well past kiddos’ bedtimes–until 2 a.m.International Delights
