I had a blast here!! There was a live band playing great music and I was there during a jaws themed event. The atmosphere is amazing. As a horror lover I highly recommend this place. The drinks were themed and so good!

This is one of the coolest bars I’ve ever been to. The atmosphere is any Halloween lover’s dream! The bartenders were super friendly and made some really good drinks. Definitely checkout The Craft speakeasy! The bartender in there was very cool and can make you a drink based off a childhood memory, pet, nightmare/dream, etc. The bartender in there is truly gifted and talented. I will definitely be back when I’m in Orlando.

Its pretty tough to get any good pictures, but this place is amazing, unlike any bar Ive been to before. The atmosphere is perfect for those looking for more of an alternative vibe, good music, good dancing, and great servers. I absolutely plan to visit again.

This place exceeded our expectations!!!!The atmosphere was so cool! The details, the music, the spicy drink was AMAZING!!!!! We ordered like 6 of them because we loved them so much!The DJ was top notch, he was so fun and had an incredible voice. He was engaging and entertaining. We had an absolute great time!Most of the bar tenders were. Very sweet. I only had a bad experience with the bartender with very blonde hair. She appears in one of the videos I’ll post. Unfortunately almost at the end of the night, after my husband and I had ordered plenty of drinks, the 6 spicy ones, the espresso drink, and the zombie one, I decided I needed to go get some water, and apparently to this particular bar tender it was a bother because I approached her very nicely and said hi! May I please have some water? She looked at me, ignored me and the proceeded to ask a guy what he wanted to drink. She never gave me the water. However, the other bar the set which is also on my video and is the one that waved at the camera, she was so kind and she didn’t make me feel uncomfortable for asking a cup of water. She gave me the water and I of course tipped her, it didn’t matter if it wasn’t alcohol, we are good tippers and we appreciate service. Too bad that the one bar tender was so incredibly rude. If it wasn’t for that, the whole night would have been a 10/10 but it was an 9/10 just because of her awful service.I have to praise the Manager from that night because he was so professional. We had a server remove one of our drinks which was half full and I had told him previously that we were working on the drinks on the table. For whatever reason he took them when we were up and dancing. I spoke to the manager to let him know that our drinks were removed and he immediately replaced it.We will recommend this bar! We love that they play the kind of music we love and the atmosphere was incredible!

Butterbeer drink was spot on 👌🏻 We went on a Sunday so it was pretty quiet but the decor and atmosphere was awesome. Beatrice the magician was excellent, very entertaining and personal. One of the most skilled sleight of hand magicians we’ve seen in person in a non - show setting! Very enjoyable experience.

Nice Bar with a cool theme. The drinks were really cool and the service was good. Worth checking out if you want a special drink. Price was reasonable.

This has to be one of my favorite bars in downtown Orlando. The spooky theme is great and the drinks are delicious. Theres also a cool back area that, while quite limited in availability, will allow you to get more personalized drinks, though keep in mind these are definitely on the pricier side. All around just a fun place to go! Our favorite cocktail up front, by far, was the butterbeer. They also have live music and events fairly often.

Such a unique concept and place to visit in Downtown Orlando! If you love all things Halloween and spooky, this is the place for you. Take all the photos to remember your visit and share with friends, as you won’t come across a more rad bar in my opinion. The drinks are tasty, depending on your mood or preference. Also, ask about the speakeasy in the back and how you can visit that, too. Love everything about this place!

Interesting establishment to say the least. Halloween themed, elaborately laid out with a stage for bands and such. The drink offering are unique as us the concept. There is also a secret bar in the back that serves up specialty cocktails, reservations required.

We decided to check this place out for my boyfriends birthday, and boy did this place exceed our expectations! I first heard of this bar through TikTok and let me tell you, their drinks are amazing and at an affordable price, they definitely enjoy creating the drinks themselves. If youre a horror fan of any kind, this is a new hotspot for you guys!! 😄

Had the last night of my Bachelorette here. My advice get there at 7 to get in or you have to wait because it gets packed fast. I arrived at 12:30 and still got in after 30 minutes. The drinks are amazing! The show was great. If you are a goth bride this is your spot!

Review №14

Kinda wish theyd play more spooky themed things for music instead of just Taylor Swift mixed songs but thats just me. If youre gonna have a spooky themed bar, why would you not play more spooky music or more music themed to the themed nights.A neat thing to do at least once

If you love Halloween this is the place for you! The music is great since the beginning of the night and just keeps getting better. The drinks are something different from other places, I first tried the butterbeer shot and I would definitely drink a gallon of that. The atmosphere is so fun! I would definitely keep coming back!

We didnt have food here or go into the back room which needed reservations and had a cost. The bar was very well themed and fun. I had a drink called Frogs Breath which smoked and bubbled. It was fun and fair tasting. However, it similarly tasted exactly like the Malibu Barbie drink that I had at the Arcade/70s-80s bar nearby. Very nice decor and the bathrooms were amazingly decorated as well. This is definitely dire ted more toward the emo crowd, but it was a fun experience. We enjoyed ourselves in the comfortable seating areas.

Had to take a moment to show some love to this bar and all of their incredible staff. The atmosphere here is easily one of the most inclusive and inviting of any place in Orlando. From the people working door, and security, to the amazing bartenders and entertainers. This place puts a lot of love and work into making your experience here one of a kind! A must for every horror enthusiast, and anyone just looking for a unique Downtown spot to relax and drink.Special shout out to Saturday nights entertainers Host, Eric Lopez and DJ SHDW! They work their spooky butts off making the vibes amazing there every single time!A must to visit, you wont regret it 🦇

Went last night for the first time and my girls and I had such a great time!! Amber served us for the majority of the night and she made the experience so worth it. She was quick with making our drinks and just so fun to talk to. Will def be coming back!! Thanks Amber and the other bartenders.

Heard about this place from friends who said its must-see Orlando original. And they were right, the decor, the props, the lighting, the ambiance is all slick. Me and my wife loved it.... we even got our fav What We Do In The Shadows character GIZMO table.We went for Sunday brunch. Honestly, the food was not great at all, I could slay their omlette any day. But the cocktails were all awesome, service was great. We want to try the speak-easy next.Other annoying part were some patrons. It was Superbowl Sunday and people there in Eagles Jerseys and flip flips... umm Eagles arent playing, go home youre drunk. Apparently Fri&Sat night place can get all frat-like too and server said they just dont get the place 😆 Dress code? All black? No ballcaps, no jerseys?

We learned the hard way don’t pay the cover!! We were waiting in line when it was our turn to pay they charge $10 cash or $15 on card.. massive difference for a 2.95 transaction fee charged be the bank per transaction not person. The couple behind decided they wouldn’t pay and started walking away and were offered free cover while we were paying in front of them. I said something and the guy goes “that’s how it is”. When we got to the bar I asked if they had high noon or white claw which I was told “we have miller light”. When I asked what was in a a drink he pointed to the menu and told me to read. The bartender was clearly uneducated and doesn’t understand allergy deficiencies. We paid $45 (for three people) to walk into this bar and leave because my health and safety were at risk. Perhaps they should focus less on how much money they can make and more on who is actually in front of them. * As you can clearly see by the owners response he has yet to reach out and try to resolve the issue. If he had of reached out he would clearly know there were three of us and someone else in the party paid the cover. The response also does not clearly acknowledge the rudeness of his staff and the lack of education when it come to allergies. The staff is rude as so clearly posted in several reviews of this establishment. The response very clearly shows that the owner doesnt want to acknowledge or attempt to resolve anything. When an owner attacks someone online for leaving a negative review rather than try to investigate what happened I can now clearly see why the staff is so rude*

I attended an event here at Cocktails and Screams called the oogie boogie (the villain from the nightmare before Christmas) which was casino themed. There was live entertainment with gambling tables! The tickets included “funny money” which we used to gamble with. There was also three different prizes raffled off. The bartender Yacob made the best drink recommendations and drinks! The burlesque show was beautiful and the music they played all night were all of my favorites from Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, and more! I had a ball!

Review №22

This place looked like a match made in heaven for me... on paper... The vibes are great and they clearly went all out for the decor, but the drinks, not so much. The first time I went, it was pretty empty inside, so the service was good, but the cocktails were not it for me(way too sweet) and when I asked for my go-to gin & tonic, they couldnt make one because they didnt have tonic. Then I went on national wine day and the bartender said she didnt think they had wine(it was in the cooler behind her). Next visit was so crowded that I waited for a drink for 20 min, then left. Finally, this last visit, I had a bartender who accommodated the fact that they dont have anything on the menu I like and were out of the canned beverage I had chosen. I have never been for brunch, which people rave about, so maybe if I do my review will improve, but Im in no rush to ever go back.

Jacob but with a Y absolutely amazing! He treated us like we go there all the time and it was our first time! The bathrooms were spotless clean! The LES Vixens 10/10, it was a surprise for me I wish my wife had told me all about this place and we wouldve sat front and center! 🤣 but we will be back 100%

I travel to Orlando just to stay at this bar all night. Im nerdy and weird but this is such THE™️ place. It is friendly, atmospheric, fun. It has entertainment and interactive stage performances. Sooo much dancing!!! And the cocktails are all truly delicious. Everything on the menu is worth trying.My husband truly loved the tiki drink. It has peanut butter whisky. Frogs breath is delicious. This place also has a drink that has coffee Kraken which I havent been able to find in stores in years and it was so nice to taste again!

Review №26

So really torn and wanted this to be a great experience, but it wasnt. So we went for the Sunday brunch never being here before, went on Camp Crystal lake day and the theme was great, the decor was amazing, Jason was cool and the staff was great, but the food, well not so much. My cocktail (Frogs breath) was delicious, my breakfast sandwich was interesting and tasty but kinda over priced for what it was (donut, egg, sausage and bacon) other person in my party ordered the breakfast hot dog and unfortunately it came out cold and wasnt very good. Im torn cuz this is a really awesome place and Ill probably try again at night for the bar side of it, but probably wont be back for the Sunday brunch 😒

We first read about this place in a haunted America tour book and knew we had to visit! So my family and I packed up and headed to Orlando. Initially there was a long line into the building but that was understandable since this was on a weekend. Once we got in the first thing we noticed were the decorations. Theres so much to look at while you wait at the bar, not only was the music great but the cocktails were phenomenal.Well definitely be back!

Review №29

I loved the vibe of this place. Im a huge horror fan and I was pleasantly surprised with the decor. The only reason I wouldnt give if a 5 star review is because the place was a unclean. The floors were sticky and it looked like every table needed to be wiped down. I did see staff bussing the tables but they did not wipe them down. There was a DJ that sang karaoke to the crowd and that was enjoyable but overall. I had a good time.

If youre a Halloween fan, then this place is amazing. Dont worry, no screaming necessary...unless you just love your cocktail THAT much. The staff are super friendly and kind, definitely get into the back secret bar called the Craft. The custom cocktail option back there is to die for.

This is the coolest and funnest bar ever. They make craft cocktails so don’t just order a “crown and coke” here! It’s Halloween year round here. That also do brunch. It’s such a cool bar. The decor, the drinks, the speakeasy in the back. Everything is top tier here and I recommend it

This bar was absolutely amazing. If you havent been here, stop what you are doing and go. Even if you dont drink alcohol, just go. Also patience was the best bartender weve had in nearly our ten years of being married. Highly recommend asking for her to be your bartender. Make sure to open a tab with her and not the bus boy ;).

Just have to say Hailey and the team at Cocktails & screams was on point. Super friendly! I love seeing a true iconic customer service. Hailey went above and beyond to let us know our place in line as well as what she would recommend and wasnreally down to earth! And the Drinks are amazing! Get reservations to the speak easy in the back! Chill spot.

Great atmosphere and drinks the theme is on point without being cheesy. Bartender was helpful and offered suggestions for cocktail choices. They had live music on stage, the performer was excellent and when not playing music in bar fit the theme but was not overly loud.

Review №36

The themeing of this place is beyond amazing. They were doing karoke when we came in which is always fun. I didnt see food but maybe because it was late? Also it took forever for the bartender to get to us and when she did they had no wine or draft beer but I assume most people go for the cocktails which my friend said were good! Go in the back room its super cool too!

Review №37

Easily the most fun I’ve ever had in a bar. The decor, the vibe and the music are all amazing. Just happened to be there on Emo Tuesday, so the wife had to listen to my terrible singing all night. Super creative and delicious cocktails. In the speakeasy they had a woman give you a tarot card reading and make you a personalized cocktail based off it. This place has become a must stop for me when I’m in town. Always a great time.

Review №38

The atmosphere here was just my favorite. I spent most of my night in the back bar with some friends doing tarot card readings and just catching up. The bartender Wolfgang was so nice and the drink he made was amazing. All the mixologists back there have their own specialty and Wolfgang would take a show, movie, or character and build a drink based off of that. Truly an amazing experience. I will say the drinks are a little pricier than other bars in the area but I think it’s worth it. The butterbeer shot was my favorite thing of all off the menu. They did karaoke all night and had a lot of different genres of music playing.

This place is awesome! The theming is absolutely beautiful and they had a great horror themed playlist to add to the ambiance. So many fun little easter eggs for horror movie buffs/halloween lifestyle enthusiasts to enjoy. The drinks were delicious and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Our favorite drink was probably the Jekyll & Hyde. We couldnt stay late enough for karaoke but we are looking forward to coming back to visit another time so we can hopefully catch that and try more from the cocktail menu or even try out their brunch menu. If you love Halloween/Horror this is a must do while in Orlando.

This place was awesome. Spooky, fun and delicious. The whole bar was horror movie themed and had the best music and atmosphere for Halloween. I highly recommend this place if you’re in Orlando. I got the neurotoxin (cocktail) and it was spooktacular.

Not only is this place super cool but staff provided excellent customer service to us last night! We had reserved a high top table but while we were back in The Craft, it inadvertently got cleared and others were sitting at it. Management quickly got us a new bottle, and our table back as well as gave us two drinks on the house for the mess up. Megan, our waitress ,was awesome and Thomas was the manager that helped us. I was impressed with the great customer service!Some tips are get there early, like right at opening so you can really take in the place. Make reservations for The craft, which is very small private bar in the back. Drinks were unique and tasty! This place is beautiful inside and definitely worth checking out!

Awesome place! This is a great idea and well done. Decor is great, themed out great, entertainment was great, cocktails were very cool and its nice to have a craft cocktail bar that actually has craft cocktails. We will be coming back soon!I have a feeling this place will keep things fresh and updated... There was a lot of thought that went into a place like this. BTW the pin ball machines looked awesome, will probably never play them but I can appreciate the detail put into them.Nice job! And looking forward to hanging out here in the future.

Are you a horror fan? Whats your favorite scary movie? What about fun ones like Adams Family, ghosts, goblins, maybe Elvira? All ghouls and guys, this is the place for you. The specialty drinks are so fun. Plenty of alcohol which is why the specific drinks are a little more pricey, but they do others. Not to loud, comfy chairs. Couches, and stools all around. Ive been wanting to come here since last October! It did not disappoint. Friendly bartenders, Wednesday is karaoke night, found a place that played my kind off music, rock, old school goth, but plenty of others, bebob, pop, classical, you name it. I think for now on, this will be my go to bar!

The effort put into this place is outstanding. Everything you’d want in horror themed decor/oddities (some even for sale) that are polished and not dusty or cheap. Spacious comfortable seating around dance floor. Delicious specialty & regular drinks. Friendly welcoming staff & bartenders.** Icing on the cake was the amazing live singer & DJ who played something for everyone! Smoking area IS avail outside in front & entrance was less than $15 for two people. Complete Gem!

W O W!!! This bar pulled out all the stops and then some!! I ❤️ Halloween and the amount of thought that went into this magical place exceeded my expectations!! If youre also a Halloween lover or just like Halloween a little bit, you have to go!! See what I did there? 😄 The staff were dressed up and so much fun! The mixologists made sinfully delicious drinks 😈! We tried 6 different ones and every single one was off da hook! So many cool areas to sit in. We even danced when the DJ got there! And we were lucky enough to enter the elusive Witchs Bar - a room only open twice a week... Even the bathrooms were decorated to the nines! Ya just gotta visit! 🎃 👻

Our new favorite haunt!! This bar feels like it has Elviras personal mark of approval on it. From the attention to detail in the decor/atmosphere to the masterfully crafted cocktails (Thank you, Ian!!), this place truly leaves a lasting impression. We visited the hidden apothecary-style bar when it opened later in the night, and it is stunning. The drink menu is much smaller than the main bar, and for good reason! The bartenders will give you a tantalizing experience I guarantee youve never seen at your local bar!

Cocktails and screams is a must-see of you come to Orlando.If youre anything like me, youll fall in love with this bar that brings in the spooky season year round. Theres live music, on the night I went they were playing classic rock music, however the hostess informed me they have themed nights where different genres of music are played.It was really packed during my visit which is understandable due to how amazing this place is. You rent out your own speakeasy is in the back for a private event that part of the price goes towards a bar tabs for you and 9 of your friends.

I dont have enough words to describe how incredible this bar is. If you enjoy horror like I do, its a must stop if youre in Orlando. The atmosphere is amazing. They pit so much effort into the theme of this place and it really shows. Fun drinks, good music and a not so secret speakeasy in the back that takes it to a whole other level.

Highly disappointed, HIGHLY. Waited a long time to finally come & didnt stay long.The decor is 5 star, hands down. It is AMAZING.We had a 12:00 brunch reservation that got kicked to 3pm which was fine. However, at 3:00 in the afternoon you dont expect the brunch menu. Our cereal waitress was great. Our table waitress disappeared & we were the last ones from EVERYONE in the restaurant to finally get our drinks & food. Food was lousy. We didnt stay long at all. We came, we saw, we left.The group before us ALL came out complaining about the service & how some of them got their food so late they had to get it to go.****update...apparently by the response to my review, they dont care either.

So much fun. We go there for special events like slytherin house night, fang night, and new years eve labyrinth ball. Great music, great drinks, and amazing atmosphere. I highly recommend checking it out. And Eric Lopez does an awesome job of keeping the fun going. Hes one of the best vocalists Ive seen. If your downtown Orlando its definitely worth a visit if just to listen to him sing!

Floating around downtown with friends we went into this new bar we hadn’t heard of before. The atmosphere as described by the staff was Halloween meets spirits and beer. I couldn’t agree more. The place had lovely decorations from floor to ceiling plenty of ghoulish drinks to choose from. There was plenty to see and look at the entire time we get like we were finding more and more. A good time and I’m sure worth seeing if that’s your type of setting.

Holy s*%tWe met a girl named Jenn at a different bar and mentioned that we wanted to come to this place. Well she works here too and told us to make sure we make reservations online to visit the craft bar and see Dan.We did…We entered the craft bar and met Dan, and he had us throw bones to see what would be in our drink. The whole theme was Norse mythology, which I am familiar with. The thing is, it wasn’t just a theme. Dan didn’t play a part, Dan was just Dan.It wasn’t a theme it was just a lifestyle. I can’t describe how authentic it was because I couldn’t do it justice. Just go. You won’t regret it.I couldn’t take any photos inside the craft area, but the drinks and presentation in the outer bar area are equally impressive if a little more mainstream, and I got tons of photos there to share.The staff are wonderful, you can just feel the vibe. It’s never forced, it just is.

Really amazing place! Unique, mysterious and absolutely love the Halloween vibes! Their craft cocktails are amazing! Make sure you try the “Witch’s Brew”, my favorite! Check my IG @only1zaina for a video on how it’s made 😍! Also don’t forget to checkout the secret room in the back and the bathrooms! Definitely recommend this place for anyone that wants something different! I believe they have Karaoke night on Fridays but not sure on the actual day!

Discovered this gem through tiktok. Relaxing place to grab “out-of-the-ordinary”, halloween-themed drinks. Dècor really vamps the place, keeping it in the halloween spirit. Didn’t get to enter the special bar in the back, however, will try next time. Also a plus that they’re following strict COVID-19 guidelines with temp check before entering. Girlfriend and I really enjoyed our experience in the few times we stopped by and will definitely be returning soon!

This place has a unique vibe, for all those halloween and horror enthusiasts this place is a must!The bartenders put a lot of effort making those very special drinks with very unique names 😉They also hace a VIP bar in the back with more unique drinks to enjoy while visiting, and if you like to sing take advantage of the Karaoke nights.We tried the Frogs breath, ochus focus and a few other ones.For more tips on trips, food and bars follow us on our YouTube channel ⤵️⤵️AVENTURASCONLOSPAIZIG@AVENTURASCONLOSPAIZ@ISAACPAIZ

Loved the atmosphere a ton. The staff greeted us from every angle, which was pleasant. The crafted drinks are great. The best drinks came from the speak easy the craft where we order custom drinks after they asked us what we liked. The entertainment tonight was daddy mistress, who was a fun act for sure but very pretty.So a 10 out of 10 for horror or spooky folks ! The craft you should book in advance as this speakeasy maybe not hidden, it maybe booked out and if you go to cocktails and screams and miss out on the speak easy then I feel you missed 50% of the bar!

Love this bar! Super fun atmosphere and music. It’s the perfect way to step into a Halloween land anytime of year. One of my favorite and friendly bartenders, Ian, always does a great job of making and getting me drinks quickly. If you haven’t been… go check it out!

No food, but the atmosphere makes up for it and same with the quality of the drinks. Never had a better whiskey, sour in my life than here in the speakeasy part.

If you’re into horror, costumes, or Halloween, check this place out. They have great drinks, good service, and an elite bar hidden in the back. The events hosted here are always fun, definitely recommend. The Christmas in July is a fun twist on the already great ambiance.

This place is awesome, especially nearing Halloween. Visited on a Saturday night and the line was outside the building. It was my first time visiting and I wished I had dressed up in Halloween-ish attire like everyone else! It was packed inside but not to the extent of being squished or touching other people. The MC on stage really made the night. I only wish there was more club/dance music so that we could all dance instead of stand around. The bathrooms are also really cool. Unfortunately couldnt stay too long and left before the costume contest.

We went here on a Sunday night and they had scary movie bingo which was awesome, also our bartender not sure of her name but she said she usually doesn’t work sundays, she was great & very attentive never had to wave her down or ask for another drink. Overall great experience and we will definitely be back next time we are in town 😁

Absolutely a must go to place in town. We went to brunch because I was in town with teen daughter and its all ages. We recommend the Dexter Morgan french toast ( which they made non boozy berry for her.) Drink I recommend with brunch Vlad the Impaler. Daughter loves their mocktail. Staff was so great and even in costumes. Met owner as well. Sweet guy. Also they play a horror movies during brunch. Brunch is Sunday at like 12 and 2. I do recommend a reservation. This can be done online or by calling or even via Facebook messenger if you have questions. They are very quick to respond. Will absolutely be back 🙂🙂🙂

Went here for brunch and drinks for my birthday. This place has a special place in my heart. They have Friday the 13th going while we vibes it out. The drinks are really good. I tried the Neotoxin drink (probably spelled that wrong lol) and the zombie which is one of the strongest drink here. Really cool place. I have a short video review on Tiktok Nyasmith33. Peace and love

The bar is really cool but as a woman I don’t feel safe with the dj shdw he’s such a creep and if you are woman he like forces himself into your group and tries to talk to all the girls in the group and see who he can get with it’s so creepy😭 the girl was the only one making it feel safe but him going to all the table to see who he can get with him.

Amazing cocktails and ambiance. Definitely a must visit in Orlando. If you love Halloween or horror movies this is the place that will warm your black heart. Our favorite the Cara Mia Old Fashion and a custom made cocktail inside The Craft (bring cash for that) where they theme it based on movie or themed.

Review №96

The drinks are overpriced (especially with the new b.s. orlando safety tax added on) but yummy, especially that one with ginger as a garnish! Yum! Franken-something! Refreshing & definitely recommend as someone who barely drinks & will be buying at most 1 drink. I was there for a ticketed event & was a little annoyed that for $30 there was literally no seating. You had to pay very expensive R(V)IP pricing to have a seat of any kind. I think that would’ve been fine if the ticket was $20 or less. It seemed a tad greedy. We were there early to have a seat & we’re rather disappointed there really weren’t any that weren’t reserved. Otherwise I always love the atmosphere & entertainment they have.

Review №98

This place is probably great as long as youre under 30 and if you like live cover bands amped up so loud it makes your ears bleed...The first time I went here there was no live music it was kinda retrowave nice ambient grooves and was easy enough to talk to women me and my friend were able to get a girls number by the end of the night, overall a positive first experience.Every subsequent time Ive come though there has been a terrible live band butchering songs Id rather just hear the radio mixes of, with the volume so high his voice pierces my ears like a knife and they crank it so much youd literally need to be yelling at the top of your lungs 2 inches from someones ear for them to have any hope of hearing you, blatantly destroying any ability to socialize (kinda contradicts the point of a social gathering place)... was full of kids looking like they were 16-20 bouncing around like cosplayers on too much caffeine.5-star place on the regular music nights1-2 star if the live band is thereWednesday or Thursday is the night to go I cant remember which one DOESNT have that godawful live band but if they say there is live music at the door... run, run fast, do not look back, and thank me later.

Review №99

What was once a wonderful niche, emo/horror club is now a tourist trap that thinks way too highly of themselves to respect the locals that used to go. Good luck getting in during the weekend unless you get there at 7pm exactly or drop $200+ for a table of 4. Drinks are okay, entertainment is okay, but its not the same anymore, especially with the dismissal of their house DJ who will be truly missed.

Cool spot! I think I was expecting more spooky based on the video I watched when I made the reservation, but it was a weekday, so maybe they do a little less spook.

Review №101

Absolutely a blast. The security and staff are all dressed to impress so youre never taken out of the illusion that its Halloween, there has never been any weirdness here (youd think with the Halloween theme youd get some creeps) the live singers are AMAZING, and the drinks are delicious. I highly recommend trying every shooter you can! Only complaint is sometimes parking nearby is a challenge and walking through this area at night can be a bit dodgy, so we recommend getting there early enough to park in the garage across the street.Edit: Still and incredible, inviting experience.

By far the best bar downtown Orlando has to offer! Its a must see to explain. From the entrance to the entertainment and exotic drinks... Wow so much fun!!! Great for couples, friends and large crowds. Its Halloween everyday here. The moving wall pictures blew me away. If your up for a FUN out of the ordinary bar experience then Cocktails and Screams is the place to be. We had the Sabrina drink... Amazing. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Cant wait to come back again.

Amazing horror themed bar. The speakeasy in the back had an amazing bartender.

Review №104

Once we were admitted to the speakeasy, the bartender ignored us for 45 minutes+. We attempted to obtain one glass of water, but he continued to ignore both myself and my fiancé. It was not until I had to forcefully request a glass of water for a friend who was too intoxicated, that we finally received service. I was only give a glass of water, but it was too late. As I handed my friend the glass of water, it was too late. She ended up sick and it was all his fault. It could have been prevented had he genuinely paid attention to the people in the speakeasy. The bartenders outside recognized the problem and made sure to compensate us for the issues. Whoever the bartender in the speakeasy way needs to be fired and replaced by someone who actually knows how to treat customers. This all could have been avoided had he not ignored us for 45+ minutes while we were properly in-line for service.The speakeasy bartender with the black hat and ponytail / man bun needs to be fired for lack of service and lack of care for customers. He is the reason this occurred.

Went here with my husband tonight, the atmosphere was on point! Haley was amazing she was so sweet and so welcoming, the bartender at the craft was super nice as well. Both bartenders at the regular bar tonight were super friendly and very informative. We will definitely be back. Whomever designed this bar had Halloween on the brain for sure. Right down to the drink names. Absolutely wonderful experience! 10/10

Hands down best bar I ever been too, I went Saturday and they had a drag queen show and a singer performing the whole night and a variety of music playing from Backstreet Boys to My Chemical Romance to Nicki Minaj, the ambience was amazing, this is not your typical bar, so if you cant listen to every type of music and enjoy it then perhaps this is not your place. If you are a horror fan this is definitely your home, just be prepared it can get a bit crowded, Ill definitely be coming back every time I visit Orlando!

Brunch here is so good. I had the French toast and its up there with the best French toasts Ive ever had. They had a lot of specialized drinks.

Officially one of my favorite spooky places for drinks in Orlando! The drinks have creative names and are very delicious. Both bartenders that night were very conversational and friendly, i got there a bit early with friends so we had the place all to our selves which in these times wasn’t a bad thing. I enjoyed the themed areas, great for pics. But my favorite part was -the music- its always good to find a place that has great taste and delivers best of metal & spooky🙌🏼🤘🏼.

Josh from the bar was great! Such a great character, amazing bartender, entertaining personality, and just a cool person. The bar was legit, drinks were delicious, and the atmosphere was to die for.

It was such a fun experience, I honestly cant believe they dont have a cover charge. The minute you walk in youre transported to this wonderful world filled with spooks & creatures.

Ive already decided to come back next week with an entire different group of friends. I want as many people as possible to have a ghoulish time. 👻

Review №127

I am only leaving this review 2 stars because the drinks were absolutely amazing! However my experience was more disappointing cause at the door we were asked for a cover charge of $30 ((per)) person for a vampire ball. And I was not expecting my first time being here to have a cover fee that much. I’ve been to other horror events that are WAY bigger (an actual club) and did not ask for that much. The vibe was ok but the music and such wasn’t what I expected for the environment either. Cool decor and what not I’m a HUGE horror fanatic, but unfortunately I can’t say I’d be back.

I Love the theme of Halloween all year, the service is always on point, The music and the live shows are always spectacular. The staff is always friendly and helpful. One place you wont ever feel judged and youll have a good time by yourself or meeting like minded individuals. Cant go wrong going to Cocktails and Screams. The secret bar is also fun to to go the Bartender Lucious (hope I spelled it right) is very helpful and makes very delicious drinks. The drinks at the bar are also very tasty and pretty strong so its worth the drive and the price which I find reasonably considering how strong the drinks are, they dont sell food but if they did im sure it would be epic.

This place is amazing!! I definitely was acting like a little kid with my eyes and mouth wide open in aww. I took pictures of EVERYTHING! Im not a big drinker, but I was dying to see this place in person. Im so happy I did because I went on Sunday, and they had Bingo Movie Night. We watched a movie while playing Bingo. The movie hostess was hilarious! I even bought my own little voodoo doll(ish) toy as a souvenir that was brought in just for the special event. Thomas was an amazing bartender (ask for him)! He made me a witches brew that had dry ice in it. Thomas recommended that I go to the Voodoo Bar next for my personalized Potion. You tell the Voodoo Doctor about yourself (likes, dislikes, and even if your looking for love), and then he creates you a potion. Again. Im not one for drinking, but HOLY COW I could have had 10 of those. It was EXACTLY what I would want in a drink. Im kicking myself on not asking what he was putting in it, but he just mixed in various things. YOU HAVE TO CHECK THIS PLACE OUT!

This bar is fantastic if youre into Halloween (really even if youre not too). The decor is incredible, the vibe spooky but not paralyzing scary and the drinks are delicious.

So I saw this place on my TikTok a week before I was about to take my trip up to Orlando for Halloween horror nights, and I knew I just had to see this place! It’s just as beautiful if not even more beautiful in person! The atmosphere is everything if you love all things Halloween year round!!! The only thing is a few bartenders were very dry. The one with the short blonde hair was very very nice (so sorry I didn’t get your name!) but I had asked someone if I could charge my phone anywhere and they told me “we are too short staffed“ as a bartender I don’t understand what this means… a simple ‘no’ or ‘we don’t have any outlets’ or ‘we don’t want to be liable’ would’ve been fine. What does being short staffed have to do with anything? Then they told me that I could look around to see if there were any outlets on the floor..overall We did have fun & the pumpkin drink was fun to share with friends!

Review №140

I’m leaving this review not so much to detail our experience (as my girlfriend Autumn already did that, and you can see it under the 1 star reviews) but in response to the childish, unprofessional, and absolutely venomous response we got from the owner who does not seem interested in taking accountability for their business.So, to clarify a few points from her review: we were there for my birthday, as we love all things horror and alternative related. We traveled all the way down from Pennsylvania for this. We were very excited about this bar, and at first, very happy to check it out and spend our money here. However, after the night unfolded as it did in Autumn’s review, and seeing the lack of care and accountability from the owner, I now feel that I have to speak my mind as well.I have grown up and spent my whole life in and around the Orlando area. You can only imagine my disappointment to return home and see that, what was once a venue and hub for alternative people and alternative music, has been turned into a cash grab by somebody who clearly has no regard for the culture they are pandering to. In their response to Autumn’s review, which you can see publicly, we were MOCKED for traveling across the country to visit their bar. APPARENTLY, the $10 we each spent to get in the building, as well as the money we spent at the bar, means nothing to them. It would seem as though they think we should be GRATEFUL to spend our money and not be treated with decency and respect. If wanting to spend your money and have a fun and welcoming time with your friends is a “sky high expectation” as they have deemed it to be, then I encourage you to come to this bar and see for yourself, as they seem to end all of their disgusting responses to their bad reviews with. I am disappointed to say the least. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Do not waste your time in The Craft speakeasy bar in the back!! Spent an hour waiting to get in, then waited 10 minutes for our turn at the bar. It was honestly impressive how the two bartenders looked so busy, but yet we saw 1 drink made in those 10 minutes. Between the two of them. When it was our turn, we were immediately skipped by two other patrons that clearly came in after us. We left at this point to return to the main bar. The night was saved by the awesome DJ and bar staff out here. Awesome music, great vibes, genuinely love the place - just DO NOT waste your time in the back bar.

We are huge horror fans and we’re looking forward to finally checking this out. We arrived just after 7, my husband immediately said, “we’re coming here all the time!” The decor was great and the drinks were fun. After sitting and enjoying the atmosphere and show for 3.5 hours (and a $200+ bar tab) we were rudely & abruptly told we had to move because the table was reserved without any apology or observed concern. They had 3.5 hours to mention this possibility (if it was actually true and they weren’t just seating friends) and yet no one said a word. It’s very likely that we would have accumulated a $300 tab by nights end, but we felt that our business wasn’t appreciated and we left. I’m disappointed as we would have made that a frequent stop, but I’ll take my business where I’m treated fairly.

Our group absolutely adores this bar!

It may even become a yearly tradition. The drinks are always amazing yet unique, the atmosphere is transcendent, the staff and owner...all around great people. This will be our first time reserving to see the craft speakeasy so thats very exciting! We will be visiting this weekend and we can hardly wait!!

If I could give this place 1000 stars I would. It all started from the door. Nicholas was AMAZING!!! The line was long … but it was a holiday weekend and let me tell you…: It was worth EVERY second of my wait.. it was the best Friday night of my life! The DJ and Host were in phenomenal! Great drinks, awesome bartenders, spacious dance floor, the decor is out of this world! I can’t remember the last time I stayed at a bar until closing, but it was just that awesome! So awesome that I had to come back again before leaving town! Sunday brunch was real chill… it was super cute to be able to watch a “themed” movie based on the weekend’s event while enjoying speciality drinks and and awesome food. The ambiance of this place makes me want to move to Orlando… I could go there every single day! Hats of to ownership… you’ve created and experience worth sharing. I will be back!!!

Great atmosphere and the mc made it a really fun evening. I think a lot of the drinks could have tasted better for the price. Drunkin Pumpkin tasted like mostly like tonic water and we could not taste the pumpkin puree in it at all. We were a group of 6 and all of us had a hard time finding something we liked. Not sure if it was the drinks or if the bar tender was having an off night. We all agreed the Butter Beer was really good. Overall would definitely return again for the atmosphere & butter beer

We came into the bar. The best interaction was the hostess (Luna), she was very personable, kind and fun! However upon arriving to the bar, the bartender Alexa was eating and just asked if I needed more time(no greeting). When we were ready to order she took the order and made it in front of this other customer whom she was more interested in engaging with. It was relatively slow in the bar but for the bartender to be exclusively chatting with one patron who had nothing in front of him versus guest also at the bar just left a sour taste in our mouth’s as we weren’t the only guest to receive this treatment. We were truly excited to come but sadly we won’t be returning if this is how patrons will be served. The two stars are for Luna.

So many things I could share about this place. For those who have been staying in. I would give this place a try. This establishment offers a safe environment with a unique experience. Photos that are social media worthy, staff that is friendly that practices very safe social distancing. They have a creative menu for both food and drinks. A place to enjoy the dark side.... I highly recommend going to the back witch room and visit Corbin for your customized potion drink. Sunday horror movie brunch is open for all ages a with a delicious menu that has plant based options.

We did the cocktails and scream brunch, we had a reservation for a party of 2 and were seated at the bar with our view from the screen showing the movie blocked, had to move ourselves to the middle of the bar to be able to watch the movie. Food was cold and not many options, I guess the menus I had seen online were better than the one we got today. To be fair I think as a bar this must be a cool place but the brunch was totally lacking. Drinks felt water down and even though the glasses were big they had so much ice it’s barely a drink to enjoy

So my journey down the rabbit hole was interesting. There is a bartender there that resembles a Viking and he’s incredible. At the start of the night, I had a shot of Absinthe which was so yummy and a drink crafted by him after he read bones. I found myself going back for two more drinks that night. We conversed about Heilung and Skald which are two of my favorite Norse “Viking” bands. He was really kind and entertaining. Sadly, I forgot to eat and this resulted in a drunken panic attack. I vaugely recall him helping me remember to breathe with several other staff members as they got me to my designated drivers vehicle. To say that the Viking-God of a man and the others at Cocktails and screams cares about their patrons is an understatement. To the bartender, I’m sorry I wasn’t at my best at the end of the night. Thank you for helping me enjoy my night and then helping me calm down at the end of it. To the rest of the staff, keep up the amazing work you all do. I hope to be back, with food in my belly and the good sense to pace myself. Skoal!!!!!

In Orlando for a few nights and locals recommended this bar and it did NOT dissapoint!! Felix was an AMAZING bartender, service was amazing and the vibes were great. Atmosphere and decor was super cool. This place was a hidden gem. Also, NO COVER! 10/10

My wife and I are horror fanatics and have been coming to Cocktails and Screams since it opened. We have had nothing but great experiences. It is a great place whether you’re a fan of all things spooky or just looking for great drinks and awesome entertainment. Cocktails is a melting pot where everyone celebrates the strange and unusual. It’s a shame that some people are so entitled that they feel the need to drag a small business’s good name through the mud because they took the seats that another party paid for.

Super cool spot to hang with friends and get lit. Its more of a show vibe than a regular bar with music. Very unique and entertaining.

Good times and spooky vibes. 80s and 90s babies will definitely love. Most people will be able to sing along to songs played. Feels very inclusive and non judgmental. I heard their karaoke is really good!! Definitely recommend giving this bar a shot!!!

I know many people have had their ups and downs with this place and I knew none of that coming in. I went with four other friends on Sunday evening when it wasn’t too busy and had a great time. The bartender was sweet as was the bouncer at the front and the young woman managing entrance to the speak easy in the back. I didn’t like the first cocktail I got so I asked for something else and the bartender made it happen without questions. The bartender in the back was sweet as well though he seemed a little swamped but in good spirits (no pun intended)If they can bring this service to everyone whether it’s Tuesday evening or Saturday night I think they would do well again but you have to have a fully staffed and trained team to make that work which is no small feat. I wish the team luck in their future endeavors!

Its been years since I moved from Orlando but everytime I go back to visit, my friends insist we always meet for drinks here. The cocktails are amazing and unique and the atmosphere clearly has a ton of effort put into it. This will forever be one of my favorite themed bars!

One of my favorite bars by far. I love the ambiance, the staff, and the cocktails. Kelsey is always so sweet when I go in and all of the staff are super welcoming. The hidden room in the back is my favorite part! Their costumes and outfits are always themed by the night and so well done too!!!

Last night we waited a ridiculously long time and the lady at the speakeasy entrance kept letting her friends in before us, worst bar in Orlando, do not go here ever. Rude people and service was terrible. I would never ever have went here if I knew how bad the service would be. I’m ashamed that I ever went here, never againAnd now you lie and say it was based on reservations when another employee said that the people let in before us were just friends with the bartender. What a disgrace this “bar” is. Overpriced, watered down drinks with no alcohol at all it seemed. Hopefully this place gets it together because they have no clue what they are doing and should just shut it down. Strike me dead if I ever have to even walk by this place, let alone go in. I pray things workout for this place but I highly doubt it ever will, rip, best wishes, best regards, you slytherin snakes

I stopped by tonight as I was bar hopping around downtown tonight and was blown away by this bar. The ghostbuster theme was 10/10 to match with the excellent service all around. I look forward to returning once the renovations are complete to see what the bar looks like. The bar staff was extremely personable and attentive as well as helpful with helping me decide on what to drink.

We came here on a Friday night around 9:30 p.m.. On the recording on the phone it says theres never cover charge unless its a ticketed event.When we got in line they said it would be $8 a person.I said thats not what the recording says?So he made me call the phone number and listened to it and then he said , Oh yeah Friday and Saturday are a ticketed event.👌Ok. I said can we just go inside and get a drink and check it out. I told him we do Yelp reviews and would like to check out the place. I told him I had never been here and would like to see it since Im right here at the door. I have lived in Orlando/Lake Mary area for 53 years.He said no. Come back another day.😔I think the recording should just say $8 cover charge on Friday and Saturday.Done. It is confusing when it said ticketed event?. I would think that would be a special concert or a special Halloween night.I know $16 dollars is not a lot to pay for two people. But we were not going to stay late We just wanted to look at it. Have a drink and go home. My view..

Ive been many times and I have always enjoyed the atmosphere. The drinks are overpriced, but I get that with a themed experience youre paying for the atmosphere. I like the place.Im disappointed after last night. My husband was DD for the night and was told there was nothing to offer him non-alcoholic besides a rootbeer or a water. My husband is non-confrontational and didnt even mention this to me until we left ANOTHER bar (owned by the same people I believe) where I had a not-so-great-experience. When he told me they told him they didnt have anything NA I was shocked, since only a year or 2 ago, they had no issue accommodating my pregnant friend with mocktails. Im not sure if it was just lazy bartending to not offer a seltzer with splash of Cranberry or ANYTHING in between an expensive sugary alcohol, or rootbeer or water... or if this bar seriously needs to add some NA options for the sober, the DDs, the pregnant, etc. Had I known he was being blown off in the moment, Id have approached the bar myself and found something they could have easily made him. Management wasnt notified here because I wasnt made aware until the end of our night. Leaving this review so they can perhaps see a gap that needs filled in the NA department. Mocktails are even listed below this review as a box to click for what Id recommend.Id recomend the bartenders offer them when someone asks what you habe without alcohol in it.2 themed bars in one night. Both not a good experience.*Edit to respond to the Owner:I LOVE Cocktails & Screams. As my review stated. For years. It was my first time having a bad experience which happened to be the same night as my first visit to High T and was a bad experience. I reviewed both because my entire night consisted of only two bars. Two owned by the same people, but the instances were separate locations and separate staff. And both were not great experiences. It was the overtly rude Manager that warranted the review.I encourage everyone to go and make your own assessment. For sure. My review wasnt a bash. It was my experience. Many five star reviews exist, but you really gotta stop treating bad reviews like personal attacks. It shows you where you have room to improve so that your business can continue to get MORE 5 stars and less 1&2 stars.

I’m obsessed with Cocktails and Screams! The bartenders are all amazing, Eric and the Butcher are always so much fun, and the new house band Pumpkin Guts is great! They’re always doing fun themed events with themed drinks (like Slasher September) and the cocktails are delicious (ESPECIALLY THE SCREAMIN TIKI!!!) The hidden speakeasy has cool vibes and the bartenders back there always come up with something delicious.

We waited 45 minutes to be let into our private room reservation. Our room was just a corner of the bar that was reserved in the sense that they vaguely shooed some people away while we were walking up. There werent even enough chairs for our entire party. Its fine as a bar but ABSOLUTELY do not try to reserve a room. Massive scam.

This place was really unique and creative! The whole place has a Halloween theme, but a lot of decor from 80s horror movies! They use dry ice in some of their drinks to provide a really cool bubbling and smoking effect. The best part though is gaining access to the secret bar in the back where they have a mixologist that will create unique drinks to match what you like! Highly recommend!

This place is awesome. My brother and I are from Michigan and big time horror fans. We are staying in Orlando and had to check this place out. Ambiance is amazing, bartenders were so excellent in creating the perfect cocktails for me and my brother. Anytime I am back in Orlando I am stopping back here, preferably on a special event night!! One of the coolest speakeasy decorations I’ve ever seen

Place is amazing but the witches bar is on a different level. Thomas is one of the most knowledgeable and talented bartenders I’ve ever met! Also shout out to KC. Who is right up there! He is welcoming fun and makes absurdly beautiful cocktails. Final shout out to Noah took care of me last time. Everyone I’ve met on the team here is on a different level. What a special experience, beautiful decor, and some of the best cocktails in Orlando ! Thanks all!

We went on a Saturday night and we made reservations for the speakeasy. We did have to pay a cover of $10 cash or $15 card. The Craft is a super cool experience and the bartender was excellent! We had a couple drinks each and then ventured back out into the cocktails and screams bar. We tried lots of the drinks. Our fav was the FrankenStein. The staff and entertainment was great, very fun atmosphere! The DJ played lots of fun songs and the crowd was really into it. The fact that we as a bar collectively sang Jack Black’s Peaches song made the night lol

Cool themed place. Food a bit pricy but your are paying more for the atmosphere so I get it. I liked what I got, but the rest of my party was not satisfied with their food or drinks. Amazingly decorated, fun to visit, but menu really needs to step it up.

One of my favorite bars. I come down to Orlando a lot to see friends, and this place is always a must visit. We just love the atmosphere of the place. Good music and good drinks! We’ve made friends with the bartenders. Ian has especially made each visit fun and welcoming. Also, makes great drinks! It’s a great place to hang out, dance, and put your spooky on.
