Redlight Redlight

Wow, is the first word that comes to mind when entering one of the most well respected beer bars in Central Florida. Redlight Redlight opened their doors in 2005 at its first location. Now it is conveniently located in the Baldwin Park area. Centrally situated, the venue draws craft beer junkies from downtown and all the way to the east side of Orlando. The selection of crafts and imports is truly a blessing for any beer lover. With dim lighting and a cafĂ© style ambiance, it’s as if you walked into beer heaven. The beertender, Luke, is very knowledgeable which helps in deciding from the 25 drafts and 120+ bottles. The menu is great and very diverse and explanatory. From farmhouse ales, to meads, wild ales, and of course IPA’s. The extra descriptions from the staff and friendly patrons will defiantly help facilitate your decision. If you have never tried a beer straight from the engine, without any carbonation and served at room temp, you are in for a new beer drinking experience. The two engine beers rotate often with a few breweries making recipes specific for this bar. Redlight Redlight does a wonderful job keeping up with the seasons and new brews on the market. The constantly rotating tap handles makes for a new palette experience daily. They stick to their roots and it rightfully shows from the loyal patrons and the many votes each year as one of the best, if not the best, beer bars in Central Florida.
