AC Sky Bar

Sarah was not only amazing but truly one of the best mixologists I’ve ever encountered. I’ve been to some of the nicest cocktail bars in Orlando, and her Matcha Made in Heaven easily ranks in my top 3 drinks of all time — no exaggeration. The flavor was OMG, pure yummy! Perfectly balanced — not too sweet, spirit-forward but smooth, and the way the flavors came together was literally heaven in your mouth. Beyond the drink, Sarah herself was such a vibe — friendly, engaging, and clearly passionate about her craft. She made the whole experience unforgettable. If you go to AC Sky Bar, do yourself a favor and order the Matcha Made in Heaven — and hope Sarah’s the one behind the bar. Pure perfection!

The Sky bar has beautiful views, good drinks and good atmosphere. The food was light for the most part and it was kinda loud but we enjoyed our time. I'd come back and get outdoor seating around sunset

We came here for some drinks and dessert after brunch to continue celebrating a bachelorette weekend. We had a lovely waiter who welcomed us and provided a pleasant experience. However the rest of the staff was rude. We initially sat outside but due to the rain we asked to come inside to shelter from the rain. Our waitress agreed to this but while we were inside a customer took our seats. Which is understandable as the customer did not see anyone sitting there. However when we asked if it’s possible to go back out there was a lot of push back and blame for coming back inside. However we were sat outside again. It then started raining again, but due to the hostile reception we chose to stay outside and get wet. The hostess then proceeded to come out and tell us if we ask to come inside again she’d hang us. Very unprofessional, as we don’t have a rapport. We brushed off the comment. But less than 2 minutes later another staff member came out to tell us the outdoor seating is being closed due to the rain. We made sure to ask if he was sure that we can go back inside, as we were just threatened. Overall the drinks and the view were good. The dessert was not great. Definitely not worth the bad experience we had. We won’t be back.

This place is a vibe. You got views of the whole downtown orlando area. They play great music. Very chill place with scenic views to hang out with friends or go out for date night. Brian, the bar tender, delivered fantastic service. He was very attentive and checked up with us to make sure we were good. The drinks were unique and delicious. All of the food that came out of the kitchen had me salivating. Watching the 4th of July fireworks was such a cool experience. Definitely coming back!

Views are the best thing in this bar. Drinks are really good as well but they take too long. Our waitress was super sweet. The server was rude and with an attitude, Thus the -1 star. Food is good but way overpriced. Things like the Spanish tortilla, super small it’s over $15 They were out of pisco so no pisco sour and also out of the portobellos on the menu. It’s expensive and they include the tip in the bill If you are gonna be in a hotel and have this prices you have to rise to the occasion.

Had a wonderful time at the Sky Bar. We arrived early (6:30pm, without a reservation) and were met with a really warm welcome from the greeter and given a great table (outside, facing south). Fantastic service from Devin and then (especially) Ash who were both so helpful, professional and attentive (in a completely smart, unobtrusive way). Enjoyed a few drinks, the positive ambience, and the great view. A lovely couple of hours. Thank you so much to AC Sky Bar. See you soon!

Total experience was spectacular! Had a great wedding anniversary celebration with my wife. They have good food and friendly service, plus the bottomless mimosa on the weekends is a great deal. We will definitely be back!

AC Sky Bar will be seeing myself and my significant other again next time we're in Orlando. Alex our server was one of the friendliest, attentive hospitality workers we have come across in a long time. A little mix up with our dinner at first but Alex attended to the situation thoroughly and we were pleased with the results. Arugula on my delicious steak sandwich was fresh and all other components worked extraordinarily well with each other to deliver a menu item I implore all to try. Give Alex his flowers – warm, genuine smile never faded, and he made us feel we were seen in the restaurant.

The rooftop ambiance was such a nice vibe for an early Sunday afternoon brunch. Paired with the amazing food (AC Burger with roasted potatoes was top notch) and reasonable prices, you can't help but love the place. Will definitely return for this experience. What an amazing experience at this restaurant! The rooftop couch seating was absolutely stunning, offering a fantastic outdoor ambiance with beautiful downtown Orlando views and a cozy yet lively setting. The vibe was perfect for a relaxing afternoon brunch. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy great service and even better food (AC Burger with roasted potatoes was top notch) in a memorable rooftop environment!

Great views, good service, hotel-quality food. I've come here for evening drinks before, but after hearing AC Sky Bar touted as one of the best hidden brunches in Orlando, we came here to check out their offerings. Parking was a little inconvenient, with only street, valet, and garage parking available. They don't do validation if you choose to valet or the garage. The ambiance was nice, and had that hotel minimalist contemporary look, which lacks warmth or character. However the views you get here are unparalleled for Orlando (if a bit highway-centric); the skyline is gorgeous when you look out into the distance. The food here is good; but it's hotel food -- safe and simple. We tried the Elevated Steak and Eggs, the Pesto Panini, and had a waffle on the side. Everything was fine -- the steak was the highlight of the meal because it was cooked perfectly. The waffle was a bit dry. Overall, we had an enjoyable time! I still prefer coming here for evening cocktails, but brunch here is just serviceable. If you were staying here as a guest, I think it would be convenient to come here for brunch, but no need to go out of your way.

Four stars for a beautiful patio and the views! I visited last night with some girlfriends and we got some delicious drinks and yummy appetizers! I know that this is mainly a bar to hang out and not really focused on the food, but I feel like the food was decent. It's a very nice space and they have really good drinks. I asked them to make me a drink with a specific brand of tequila. They were able to make something for me, it was delicious! Anyhow, I got the wings, I tried the hummus, I got the churros, and the crispy potatoes. The potatoes tasted like breakfast potatoes, and they were really good with the aïoli. I mean, who doesn't like potatoes and aïoli? I did try the hummus and I didn't really care for it, but it looked better than it tasted. The churros were a bit hard and heavy. The parking garage is attached and you take a ticket which you can text to pay, and you have 15 minutes to get out of the garage after. It's a tight fit and a lot of the spaces are either handicap or reserved, so just be careful where you park. I did see that they offered valet which I probably should have done, but I didn't think it would be a problem to find a spot in the garage. Great place for a date night or to meet up with friends!

The ambiance and views on the patio of the sky bar is phenomenal. The food however, needs some tweaking. The salmon was served with breakfast potatoes which was odd. Perhaps fingerling potatoes or even a mashed potato would elevate the dish more. My first cocktail was delicious and when I ordered the same cocktail again, it tasted way sweeter and I couldn't finish it. The staff were very kind and the service was quick. My only complaint is the food quality and the price of the food did not match up.

Beautiful skyline. Beautiful service. Beautiful vibes. The chicken empanada was NOT my favorite.

AC Sky Bar is the kind of place that makes you fall in love with Orlando all over again. From the moment we stepped out onto the rooftop, we were wrapped in stunning skyline views and a warm, intimate ambiance that felt made for a perfect date night. The lighting was soft, the music set the mood just right, and the sunset over the city made everything feel like a movie scene. We shared a few small plates (all delicious), sipped on handcrafted cocktails, and just enjoyed the moment together. The service was incredible--attentive without interrupting our time, and the staff truly made us feel welcomed and taken care of. Whether it's your first date or a special celebration, AC Sky Bar is a romantic hidden gem that makes the night feel unforgettable. We'll definitely be coming back.

We visited AC Sky Bar on a Sunday night and it was super chill. We wanted a spot to try some seasonal drinks, good food, and views - this place made all three happen. The best areas to sit (best views) were unfortunately reserved, which lead to limited seating but I think on a typical day, there would be more options. The potato's were by far the best thing we had! They were truly incredible and would order again. And again! The empanadas were average. The churros were also pretty good. Drink wise we ordered the Pumpkin spice expresso martini and cosmopolitan. Both were dangerously good! Especially the martini, which felt like holiday in a glass. The bartender was very attentive and friendly. Overall, I would come back here, especially for sunset! Would love to catch those views and try more of their menu.

Our order was completely wrong. We advised them to make the Cesar salad with no croutons and flag as gluten-free " allergen" and despite being told and it was on our receipt, the salad did indeed come with croutons anyway. Cesar salad was bland and completely devoid of any salt or pepper. It had no taste whatsoever. It's probably the worst Cesar salad I have ever had. We had to have the salad remade and the second time they gave it to us the chicken was raw! I got no refund for this either! The Wedge salad was incredibly small for the price. It was just two small ends of a small iceberg head of lettuce cut in half and sprinkled with bacon and red onions. The marinated olives were 7$ and they gave us more olives than one could possibly eat. The mixed grill was good, but a bit overpriced at 27$ for what all was there. Overall, that was enjoyable. I love the views, but I am not sure why this place advertises food if this is the type and quality being offered. I won't be coming back. The sky lounge was very nice due to the view, but the bar was covered in hair, I had to ask the bartender to wipe the counter so I could sit down and order a mimosa. Outside there was delicious a lot of debris blowing around also. I said hi to an employee and she scowled at me. Overall, it wasn't a great experience and I went for dinner and brunch.

Orlando-Celebrated my birthday at the AC Sky Bar!! Very chic vibe with amazing city views. They also have fire pits outside for a cozy touch. We had several different drinks and each one was delicious. Manhattans, Espresso Martinis, Margaritas, and Gin drinks. Also tried their flatbread and meatball apps. Superb!! Definitely a really cool spot for a special celebration. We'll be back! Service was friendly and attentive.

I ordered the Rigatoni & Fresh Tomato sauce and added the shrimp. The sauce was very bland no taste at all was also a little cold. The shrimp was okay, wish they added more shrimp and flavor to the pasta. So I wouldn't recommend getting this.

One of the highest points of Downtown Orlando, literally a venue with a view. You do not need to be a guest to come eat here, but I recommend reservations as the place is pretty small and the best seats in the house are reserved for hotel guests. Luckily, we were guest so it was easy to walk-in so we sat at the outside bar. We shared the steak open-face sandwich and calamari, and to drink - a Manhattan and gin n tonic. Drinks were strong and generous. Food came out pretty quickly, so we were in and out pretty quickly. We only came there for a bite to eat before our concert. I would come here even if we are not staying as guests. I bet it's beautiful during sundown!

$21 espresso martini served with a dose of 18th floor attitude. It's sad because most people really enjoy coming up there and experiencing the Birds Eye view of the city. However, the bartenders are not very friendly and either are the alcohol prices. Worth it for one experience or sowing out-of-towners!

Very cute bar with skyline views of downtown Orlando. The bartender was amazing and the drinks were even better. The food was okay. (Salmon overcooked for my preference and potatoes were stale). However, this sunset view with live music is worth it for a happy hour with friends. The wedge salad was great. And did I mention the cocktails

The view is great inside and out. The Latte was great on this cold day and got to warm up with a French 75 which was made prefectly. I had the chicken empanada and it was tasty. The menu though is poorly pieced together and needs improvement. Work on that and people will pack the place .

I was not impressed with this restaurant/bar at all. The staff wasn't very friendly and the view is nothing worth raving about. I ordered a salad and the total was $28 including tip...not worth it for a salad! My friends ordered drinks and mentioned those were okay. Overall I don't understand the hype of this place.

Amazing view! Finally able to visit this place. Food and drinks were amazing my favorite drink was the lychee bliss and mango slush and their burgers are so delicious as well. Great variety of food, appetizers and desserts make this place want to come back. We sit outside and it was so windy. Our server didn't ask if we want to order any more drinks or anything else. They have great sitting area inside too with a bar. They have a parking garage next to the building. Restaurant is located on tbe 18th floor. They change their menu every season.

This bar/restaurant is the perfect place for happy hour and getting together with friends. Happy hour is from 4-7PM, they have beer, mixed drinks and wine as part of their happy hour specials. There is a great outdoor space as well as an indoor space with plenty of room. I would come in early because it does fill up and you may have to wait for outside seating. Our server was excellent and our drinks and meals only took a couple of minutes to come out. Can't wait to visit again!

Celebrated my 27th here and the night was a memorable one!!! Service was attentive and quick. All 3 courses(see photos) were amazing. View of Orlando was breath taking. Highly recommend.

Very nice and upscale bar to come to with just about anyone (friends, coworkers, dates, etc). The place offers amazing views of Downtown Orlando, which can spark conversation in and of itself. Parking is done in a garage, so no stress finding parking out there. Lots of drink options and bar bites to choose from, as well as, some full entree options. It's get very busy outside due to the views, so get there early if you can to grab a nice spot. The outdoor service can be a bit spotty because everyone kinda hangs out at the bar area and usually it's one or two bartenders taking care of everyone. Worth checking out if you're looking for a different place to visit when you're downtown!

Shawn the bartender was welcoming and attentive to my son & I. The view of the city is amazing day or night.

I really enjoyed this rooftop bar and my experience here. Our bartender was so attentive and helpful even on a busy Friday night. The dj's music was great and set such a good fun vibe. My drinks tasted great and I order the panini for dinner and it was one of the best I've ever had. I loved how soft the bread was and the fries were crisp and hot! Not to mention the incredible views of the city. I would definitely recommend this bar.

The food is delicious and the drinks are always on point. My go-to is their espresso martini (with tequila). The seating in front of the fire pit is for hotel guests only but you still manage to get a good view. It's the best during the evening as the sun sets. The bartenders are friendly and quick with the service! Recommend it for an evening out with friends or for date night.

Always an amazing view. Great drinks and good bar snacks. We came here on a Saturday afternoon, they didn't have their lunch menu available only the brunch menu available. We got a latte and sat inside because it was super hot outside. We loved how beautiful the space was and had a great conversation inside. We loved the vibes and will be back again to try more drinks and food items. It's on the 18th floor of the AC Marriott hotel. Service was very attentive as well.

We sat inside because it was raining but the ambiance is very modern, warm, and tranquil. We ordered a Flor de Jamaica drink and Passion Play, both delicious. For a bite to eat we ordered a Margherita flatbread and a tortilla española, white delicious but the tortilla is small. Great overall!

Food was great. Had the salmon and my Gf had the steak and potatoes for dinner the drinks were also nice. Love the inside ambiance and the outside seating area over looking I-4 and the Kia center. Our server(service) was also great and attentive and wasn't over bearing asking every 2 seconds "is everything ok" will surely be back again.

Elevated doesn't only imply the height of this bar, but also the service too. Beyond the views they had a easy reading menu although, I didn't find many of their lunch items too ravishing. We tried: Asada chicken flatbread (did not enjoy this - heavy on bbq) Elevated wings (basic Buffalo chicken wings) Calamari Fritto Misto ( best calamari I've had in a while , probably ever) The drinks were delicious & were specialty cocktails they had available at the moment. I would come back for the vibe & drinks & def the calamari!

I went with girlfriends out to this location for our first time. We had seen it on Instagram so we thought we would check it out. The view is pretty. Our cocktail was decent but our server was very rude to us. So we had one drink and left. Such a shame. I will go back one day when the kitchen is open and bring my husband. Hopefully I will have a different experience!

Great place for a girls night out, date night, or just a group of friends kick'n it! The vibe is great and view is nice! I had the Mango Smash, which was DELICIOUS! For food we had the Elevated hot wings- you know we like our wings crispy (iykyk lol) -- they were Perfect! Humus served with naan and cucumbers and celery- Very good! The crispy potatoes were also very good. The shrimp scampi and cheese was severely over cooked- it was awful! I was so disappointed., thus the 4 star rating.

Heard about this place from friends, so we made a stop here on our stay in Orlando. Glad we did. Great atmosphere + the food was really good considering it was prepared at a bar.

Amazing in every way. Definitely a must visit in Orlando in the evenings to watch the sunset and see the Disney fireworks. Service was good and their menu has a good variety. The blackened chicken flatbread was delicious! Loved the variety of drink mixers they had as well (couldn't decide between apple or cranberry so got both ).

Awesome, cool vibes great jeans, and nice experience I would go there again with My Wife

I visited the AC Sky Bar with my girlfriend on New Year's Day for brunch and it was easy to find bar seating as it wasn't packed. The views are pretty epic and our server, Nathaniel was awesome. He made us the best cocktails that were 10/10. We didn't get the brunch menu as we went on a weekday but the food was worth the visit- everything was fresh and well made. We had a good time overall and felt extremely satisfied with the customer service. We would absolutely return. Thank you again Nathaniel!

Ladies, prepare yourself by having your hair tied since it's very windy on the outside deck. I suggest sitting down at one of the lower tables. The food is excellent. We had the calamari and empanadas for starters. The Ac burger was well cooked. They offer a full liquor bar and Happy Hour Monday to Friday from 4 pm to 7 pm. Located on the 18th floor of the Truist Tower, parking is close by approximately $12, but check for events as pricing can go up.

The food was the saving grace here. But I went down for their elevated brunch on Sunday morning at 11am. I was solo so I sat at the bar. The initial bartender gave me a wet menu she'd just wiped down with a cloth idk what was being used for. Then I legit sat there for 10 minutes while the other male bartender walked back and forth and didn't acknowledge me. The female bartender finally came back around and asked if the guy had taken care of me before I told her no and put my order in. Minutes passed and I still hadn't been offered a water but another table that got seated after me got water promptly. I was made to feel very uncomfortable so I got my food to go and went back to my room to eat. Bottom line: the service sucked. If a service charge is included then the service should be top tier. Train your staff on proper social etiquette.

Shawn is amazinggggg. Not only did he make me delicious drinks, he also provided excellent service. His drinks were fireeeeeeee and he was great at managing the idiots at the bar without killing the vibe. Thank you, Shawn! Not sure how much these drinks cost because the dude next to me paid #kanyeshrug. However, I can say the crowd at the bar was very young lol.

After a quick search for places to eat/drink before the Orlando Magic game I landed on this place. Started off with the calamari which was pretty much perfect, it was nice and crispy and full of flavor with some yummy sauce. I also had the Mango Smash to drink that was surprisingly refreshing and also tasty, they did a great job with that. Lastly I had the AC burger that was probably the best burger I had in a while! The service from my man Devin was on point and the view was awesome even though the weather wasn't the best. Oh yeah, I think it was appropriately priced as well. I'll be back for sure!

Looking for a great view of downtown Orlando. Want to stop in for crispy potatoes and or a yummy flatbread. How bout a tasty espresso martini. The AC sky bar has it all definitely need to stop in when downtown.

First time here and I would like to absolutely give my server Kaylani 10 's. She is very attentive, respectful and her customer service is flawless. So please come see Kaylani everyone. She is AMAZING!!! Wonderful business AC Sky Bar

I've been wanting visit AC Sky Bar for about a year now, and I finally decided to try it out during their happy hour! First and foremost, their hours on the website are incorrect. Please call ahead to verify (they open a bit earlier than stated). The atmosphere and view of the city did not disappoint! Beautiful view and chill environment. The bartender was attentive and the drinks were well worth the happy hour prices; therefore, I'm looking forward to visiting again for a quick appetizer, drink and nice views. Don't expect too much from the food experience (I did, unfortunately). The happy hour food was very basic, warmed up, freezer-like appetizers. Just have the right expectations for happy hour - simple food, good drinks, and a nice vibe - and you'll be okay.

Great ambiance. Wonderful view. Super loud. Super windy. We were originally seated towards the front where the wind was blowing hard core and we could not here eachother. Bad choice we requested to sit on the side, not much of a difference since the generator was loud and right behind me, but we made it work. Food was good not WoW. Prices were pretty fair for what lacked in flavor and quality. Our server was Stellar! Wish I knew his name so kudos could be given my best description of him was he reminded me of a young version of anthony anderson. Food : 2 New York Strip Steaks $28/ea Margherita Flatbread $13 Drinks: Sunset Margarita $14 Lavendar Drop $15 Luxurious Burbon Sour $14 Sauvignon Blanc $10 ; 6oz Dessert: Churros $7 (they were comped; kitchen was backed up amd churros took more than 40min to come out) they were greasy and too sugary. Won't order again Overall I'd rate it an 8/10 outdoor ambiance was nice, the view was beautiful. Noise level outside was at a 10! Super loud, tables were low and chairs that accompanied them were pool type chairs. Food was okay service was EXCELLENT. Total bill $131

We visited the Sky Bar on a Friday night. We were hoping to grab a couple drinks and a snack. The view from the top is beautiful, but it was crowded and chilly so we sat on some comfy arm chairs around a table inside. We were quickly greeted by our server. I asked him if he could describe one of the cocktails and his answer was "it's not really possible to describe it, it's a standard cocktail. You find it on every menu. You can't really describe it. You can't taste the alcohol if that's what your asking" and then I asked him a specific question about it and he said again "you can't really describe it". I feel like that was not a great answer to either question. That kind of put me off for the night. As far as food goes, I ordered the tuna, one of my friends got the a toast, and another got a flatbread. At the end of the day, all the food was good, but none of us felt that it was something we couldn't make at home. I can't say I'd go back to sky bar. It's a nice idea and the view is great, but the service left a lot to be desired and the food and drink weren't anything special.

A date night. Food-hotel food. Service excellent. Lovely ambiance. DJ spinning in the corner. Booths. Sofas. Outdoor seating overlooking Orlando for miles! The View is everything!!! Definitely a good spot to hang out with your girls or your guy.

AC Skybar was a pleasant experience with a stunning view. I recommend going at night to fully experience the gorgeous atmosphere that Downtown Orlando has to offer. The customer service was excellent and responsive to our table. If you've never been, I recommend it because it has a terrific location, view, and food.

I love a good roof top with a lounge atmosphere. Great view of Orlando in downtown with indoor outdoor and bar seating and the perfect selection of bar bites. I can only imagine the sunsets here! Sat outside and ordered a couple of glasses of wine, the croquetas, a burger and a margarita flat bread. Im a croquetas fanatic so I'm very picky with how they are made and I loved these. Small crispy outside with the soft filling, paired with a light creamy dipping sauce. Definitely enough to share between 2/3 people. The flat bread pizza was the perfect ratio of cheese, sauce and bread. Not to crispy and not to doughy; and the fries were fresh and crispy! Just delicious. Parking was a bit of a hassle. When we found in the garage of the AC hotel it was $5 for the first hour and $3 every half hour after that. No reservations needed but they do have a couch area outside reserved for hotel guest only. Overall, it was a bit of pricey night but I would definitely come again for happy hour or to try their brunch!

I had a very nice dining experience at the AC sky bar in downtown Orlando! This beautiful rooftop bar offers great views of downtown Orlando while having great drinks and food at great prices! I had the Corbina over a lentil stew which had a really good flavor and a glass of wine! Truly tasted very good at a very affordable price! I sat at the bar and the service was great too! I definitely recommend if you are in downtown Orlando!

Amazing bar in downtown Orlando The bartenders Sara and Devyn were amazing.... Drinks were fire & so was the view.

If you're looking for great views with an elevated rooftop feel, this is your place. However nothing on the drink menu stands out. We tried a couple different drinks then opted to go somewhere else because we weren't impressed. Service was subpar as it appears everyone was running around and busy. They have fire pits they light if it gets cold but unfortunately it was so windy they kept blowing out.

Sean was our bartender at the outside bar and he was phenomenal! He accommodated all of our "special orders" and was very attentive, checking back to make sure it was what we hoped! We'll be back! Thanks Sean!

Our "OG" group dined here in Dec 2023 before a show at Dr Phillip's Center. The AC SkyBar has an AMAZING view. We were seated at a table with flaming hot rocks. The drinks/cocktails were en pointe. We were provided with a tapas menu - good variety. We loved the overall ambiance.
