Gentlemen’s Getaway: Orlando’s Top Spots for Unwinding in Style

By Melissa Donovan

Fine cocktails and cigars, good music, lively sports, and vibrant video games. What more could a guy want? As Orlando has grown over the years into a hub for restaurants and nightlife, it has proven to have something for everyone- especially men.

It’s time for the guys to relax, refresh, and renew at some of the City Beautiful’s finest bars and lounges.

Corona Cigar Company

Located in Downtown Orlando, this cigar bar brings guests a variety of cigars, boxes, bundles, samplers, and packs to discover. From special occasions to everyday budget-friendly cigars, they’ve got it covered. Providing flavorful cigars with options from different countries around Central America, ranging in different strengths, allows customers to have a truly unique experience.

The company offers guests an extensive drink menu alongside something to smoke. Mules, mojitos, and margaritas make up some of their signature cocktail choices, while they still offer a wide range of whiskey, brandy, scotch, bourbons, and liquors worldwide.

For cocktail connoisseurs and cigar enthusiasts, this is the place to be.

Proper Orlando

For the music-listening guys, this new vinyl-listening room and bar in downtown Orlando is the next hotspot to try. With a sophisticated and elegant vibe inside, this place offers visitors craft cocktails and a mix of the analog and modern world.

The music is carefully curated by “selectors” (DJs) night to night from Proper’s all-genre vinyl library, bringing those back to the comforting and vintage time of turntables.

Everyone interested in going can reserve a time block on their website to sustain the bar’s intimate vibe, as seating is limited.

Cheers Sports Bar

The latest sports games, weekly poker and karaoke nights, and acoustic sessions are available at Cheers Sports Bar & Liquor Store on I-Drive. The bar offers a place where everyone feels like family, with food and drink specials to enjoy daily.

Smoking is allowed inside while customers can enjoy a game of pool or darts between bites of wings and sips of their craft beers. For our sporty men, this is the ultimate man cave to frequent.

Arcade Monsters

Just outside the Orlando city area in Oviedo is every video game connoisseur’s dream: Arcade Monsters. This “anime and classic gamethemed” arcade, bar, and restaurant is the ultimate haven for those wanting to step back from life’s responsibilities and have fun with over 150 games. There are classic arcade games, pinball, and modern arcade and console games, to name a few from their wide variety.

The vibrant lit-up environment welcomes everyone and offers craft beer and wine for those of age. For $20 per person, unlimited games are at the customer’s disposal.

Finding your place to relax, refresh and renew is not a one-size fits all event. So, take the time to explore all Central Florida offers and pick the spot that works for you.
