Instagram influencer and guest blogger Christina Petsos bellies up to amazing themed bars.
Updated Jan. 5, 2026
Orlando is the sort of destination where anything can come true if you can imagine it — and that extends to extravagant themed bars designed to entertain visitors and locals alike. I absolutely love a fun themed bar, so I have rounded up a list of some of my favorites that are worth checking out all over town. Bottoms up!

ICEBAR Orlando
Featuring over 70 tons of hand-carved ice, ICEBAR Orlando on International Drive is easily the coolest bar in town — literally. They offer packages based on your preferred experience to include drinks inside the ICEBAR and/or FIRE Lounge, plus food.

You are provided with a coat and gloves to enter this winter wonderland, but bring a hat if you require more coverage. Once inside, you will find the whole entire bar is made of ice — including the furniture. The drinks are served in ice cups, and you can even take a “Shotski” with your friends. The shot glass is mounted on a ski and you take it like that, which is so fun.
If the cold gets to be too much, warm up in their FIRE Lounge. It offers a large selection of signature cocktails with dry ice, fire and smoke bubbles. I got the Tropical Whipped Bikini and my friend got the Mango Dream, both great. For food, we ordered the Truffle Fries and the Chimichurri Steak Flatbread. I was addicted to the fries and would get five orders of them if I could. This is definitely a bar you need to experience at least once in your life!
Bellhop
Previously a courthouse with a Subway is this beautiful hotel themed bar on the first floor of the historic Angelbilt Hotel in downtown Orlando. Bellhop is also open during the day as a coffeeshop.

Bellhop is a visually stunning bar that I truly was in awe of — classy and swanky with a vintage feel. The details are very well thought out and colorful.
I enjoyed Mia’s Chronicles, which is a gin drink with Ancho Reyes Verde, giving it a pleasant kick. My friend tried Making My Way Downtown, which is a sweet tequila drink. Both cocktails were super tasty and beautiful.
I love exploring all the themed bars Orlando has to offer and there certainly are plenty more. Some honorable mentions are Trader Sam’s at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar at Disney Springs®, and Hanson’s Shoe Repair and Ann Teague’s Lamp Supply in downtown Orlando. All of these venues are fantastic and worthy of adding to your Orlando must-do list.
