Bar One Orlando

The Write-Up

The full story

Bar One looks tiny from the street, but inside it is a cozy, very clean neighborhood bar on McCoy Road with a pool table and dart boards. The patio is the charmer, with picnic tables, cornhole, giant Jenga and a warm fire pit under the string lights. Order the wings (guests swear you will order another round), the Venezuelan empanadas and tequenos, and expect bartenders who remember you and your drink.
