I have zero tolerance (on myself) for drinking and driving........so I have water there.

My wife does not imbibe like I do. So I have my ride home most of the time. I'm lucky that way. As far as commenting on stuff, my wife is my filter. But if she's not around to give me the look, well I usually end up in an argument.

On a side note, if you’re ever downtown Orlando, Mathers is a must!

My daughter is a Rosen College @UCF Alum & they teach mixology. She worked as a concierge during college so we Ubered to many great bars & restaurants whenever I visited her in Orlando. If you ever feel like staying overnight there, International Drive (I-Drive) has many wonderful options. My favorite was Roccos Tacos Tequila Bar & Restaurant with fresh tableside Guacamole & warm chips & many great house drinks with a lake-view table.
Those who’ve mentioned the Boston-area have captured my attention too since my son just moved from Ipswich to Melrose so he can ride the train to/from weekend fun.

Ipswich/Essex....now you're talking seafood. Woodmans in Essex (next door) is where they filmed Grown Ups (Sandler). Tell him to try Turner's in Melrose...an oyster bar.

It's not only a word, it's a lifestyle...

Anyhow, these days I tend to agree with your posts more than most so I guess sometimes ya gotta get a feel for the place.

Always a good idea!

Marks Prime is the best one we have been to including Chop House. Might be better ones in Orlando though

You mean World of Beer doesn’t rock your world? Maybe you need to warm up with a few bottled beverages then you'll suddenly like all of the mixed ones a lot more?

OMG I went there once on my lifestyle visit in 2021. Granted it was just after Covid crap. But I couldn't even find a good beer. I was shocked that their world included mostly mass produced garbage like Bud and Coors and that sort of crap. I haven't been back. I like a good cold beer and some fried crappy food just as much as anyone. Maybe they've improved?

I like my dive bars too! Met my wife in a dive bar. We are all over the place. Some night, dark dingy dive bar and Tito's and Soda.

Some nights, local pub with a some local microbrews.

Some nights dressed up a little better and craft cocktails.

If you feel like a beach vacay, Caddy’s beach bar on Treasure Island has live music on weekends & sunsets over the gulf. No place better IMO. Love the fried grouper & I don't usually like seafood.

I saw one poster was more or less.......................do it at home.
True, but sometimes............I want 2 B waited on.

Enjoy the journey.

I agree. Doing it at home and going out socializing are 2 completely different things.
