AC Sky Bar

I was driving south from Maryland through Orlando and I saw the building on my left and I saw the balcony. And I told myself I’m going to eat dinner there. Sure enough we did two days later and it was the best decision ever. Steaks were medium rare perfect drinks were cold and delicious. And the sunset pictures were amazing. The environment is perfect. It is definitely going to be our new Orlando rendezvous.

AC Sky Bar is absolutely brutal...in the best way possible. This place defines elegance and sophistication from the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is refined, calm, and stylish, making it perfect for business conversations or for anyone looking for a quiet, upscale space to actually sit down and talk without distractions. This is not a loud or chaotic bar; it’s a place designed for meaningful conversations, networking, or simply enjoying a relaxed evening in a classy environment. The ambiance feels premium and well thought out, with a modern touch that elevates the entire experience. The small bites and appetizers are excellent well prepared, flavorful, and ideal for sharing while enjoying drinks. Everything feels intentional and polished, from the service to the overall presentation. If you’re looking for a fine, elegant spot with a tranquil vibe whether for business, catching up with friends, or just unwinding in style...AC Sky Bar delivers. Highly recommended. If you want, I can make it shorter, more Instagram/Yelp-style, or even more luxury-focused

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

This is a good place to go for a well made expensive drink. Not the most ideal place for dinner. The chairs and tables are made for lounge seating, not formal dinning. Outside seating is nice on a colder night with the fire tables. The building is located on the South/West part of downtown and the views are facing South/West, so you don’t get views of downtown. We had reservations and were seating facing West. The South facing views were the better and this area of seating was only available to hotel guests

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.

A great place to grab a drink and enjoy a nice evening ahead of seeing a show at the performing arts center downtown. The Espresso Martini was solid and the bartenders were super friendly. I do want to note that when I went most of the outdoor seating with 'prime views' were reserved for hotel guests.

When my cousin called and said let's hang out, there was no way I was passing that up. First of all, he is genuinely one of the coolest, most positive people to be around. And second, I wanted to show him a little slice of downtown Orlando, which has changed so much in the past ten years. The Sky Bar at the top of the AC Hotel felt like the perfect place to wrap up our already adventure-filled, touristy day. It's a fairly new addition to downtown and the only true rooftop bar in the city, so I was excited to finally check it out. The views were amazing. You can see the lights of the city, all the highways weaving below, and the whole downtown grid from a completely different angle. The food was medium okay, to be honest. Good presentation, nothing terrible, but nothing memorable either. My cousin ordered a Mezcal cocktail and said it was phenomenal, so seeing him really enjoy himself honestly made me happier than anything else. That's the thing about hanging out with someone who has such a great vibe. Being around positive, happy people makes all the difference, and he's the kind of person I could see myself traveling the world with. The age difference between us is huge, but somehow it doesn't matter at all. Every time we hang out, it ends up being a blast. The only downside was that happy hour wasn't available on the day we went, so definitely check the schedule if you're hoping to catch it. But overall, the Sky Bar was a fantastic ending to a fun, spontaneous, memory-filled day. And judging by the posters, it looks like their New Year's Eve party is going to be epic, so that might be worth checking out too.

AC Sky Bar is the perfect rooftop bar for an afternoon or evening in downtown Orlando. My friend and I visited AC Sky Bar while we were exploring the downtown area. It was around 4pm on a Saturday, the bar was busy but we were able to find some seats at the outside bar. We started off with a Pornstar Martini and our bartender made it the right way, which we lovedddd. At that time, the sun started to set and it was a gorgeous view from the outside patio area. We finished off with an Espresso Martini, which was well-made as well. Highly recommend visiting AC Sky Bar if you're in the downtown Orlando area. Great vibes, fun bartenders and a gorgeous view await. Sadly, we were not hungry at the time so we did not order food.

Their charcuterie board was the most perfect appetizer, it had such great variety that burst in flavor! Their drinks were festive and fun! The salmon platter was simply delicious and filling. Service was great and the ambiance was relaxing.

We came to the sky bar before the Jonas brothers concert and the food was decent we got some tapas the ahi tuna nachos, the margarita flatbread pizza and the blackened filet tips which were a complete standout and were so tasty. I wish they had a meal portion of those! We got pumpkin spice espresso martinis and a margarita. Service was good although the restaurant was really busy and I give kudos to Tony who took care of all of the tables. The only criticism is that the outside is often blocked off for private events so we couldn't really see the views.

Absolutely loved this place! Came for drinks and apps. Service was top tier! Ambiance was perfect! They had perfect seating for all size parties, fireplaces and the best view! The menu is on the pricier side but it was well worth it. The drinks were really good. I loved their espresso martini! The apps were even better. We got a bunch to share and everything was delicious! The crispy potatoes and empanadas were my faves! I'm looking forward to returning to try their brunch!

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.

I was brought here for birthday and had a great time. I have been wanting to eat here for awhile and I'm glad I finally was able to. The drinks were tasty especially the cloud 3. The sunset margarita had more of a stronger alcohol taste so don't let the name fool you. We shared the wings, margarita pizza, and the chicken panini. The wings were the best thing! Everything came out pretty fast we didn't have to wait long for anything. The view was pretty nice getting to look out towards universal and all the stadiums

This is my wife and I's go to for crème brûlée in downtown Orlando. Usually they're spot on. However last night when we went, we ordered crème brûlée and the middle was runny and uncooked. Steaks should be cooked rare, but NOT crème brûlée. We told our waitress, who was very apologetic and brought us out another one- but it was the same, very runny and inedible! They took the crème brûlée off our bill, which was nice, but it was a disappointment because I held this place to such high standards.

A beautiful bar that offers an amazing view of the city, and good drinks and food. This is probably one of my favorite bars in Orlando just for the view. They have great seasonal drinks and good service.

We came today for brunch and it was not super crowded. We started out outside but then it started to drizzle so we moved inside. The view is awesome though it is very windy on the left side outside. Although my server recommended the French toast, I would not get it again as it was not fluffy but still had a great taste. The potatoes were awesome and my group also enjoyed the eggs Benedict and steak and eggs. I would definitely come again and it's nice to know they have unlimited mimosas for $22.

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!

Was visiting family in Florida and a couple friends suggested we meet up here for drinks. This rooftop is SOOOOO CUTE! It was late, so the fire pits were going, drinks were flowing and tons of people were just enjoying the lovely weather, appetizers and drinks. I also love that they have 2 bars. I would definitely go back on my next visit.

Food was not that good and poor service. There's an automatic 18% tip and the server only came by once in an hour

10/10 my absolute favorite rooftop bar in Orlando I have 0 complaints here. Interacting with the staff is amazing , service is impeccable . I've truly never had a bad experience at AC. Brian, Julian, Alex, Devon are THE BEST in Orlando. Ambiance whether you go during the day or night never misses .

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.

My wife and I came here to stay for our wedding night. When we arrived, we were given a complimentary upgrade to the top floor with a beautiful city view. We visited the AC Skybar before we had dinner for drinks. David, the manager was so accommodating and personable. We had dinner and came back to the AC Skybar for more drinks. Loann was so lovely and made us excellent drinks. She also gave us 2 complimentary glasses of champagne to celebrate our wedding day. I would highly recommend everyone to visit here. We will be back very soon. Thank you for making our wedding day unforgettable and for making us feel so special.

Beautiful and calm ambiance during the holiday season. Service was good, checked in when our drinks were almost finished. Food was also very good. I got the Caesar salad and hummus plate and my boyfriend ordered the steak sandwich with potatoes.

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

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.

Food was excelente. Good presentation, and fast service. Atmosphere familiar and for businesses.

My husband and I came in to enjoy the crème brûlée, which we usually come here for because they have made great crème brûlée in the past. However, tonight was low-key disappointing because as you can see in the pictures, the crème brûlée was just not cooked through. To be noted, the waitress did go have them remake it, and the pictures are from the second time, but as you can tell, it was still very liquidy and didn't taste like anything and we weren't sure if we could even eat it like That so we will be looking for new crème brûlée places. The lava cake is also something that I usually like to get for dessert, but for some reason, it was also cold. It just seemed like the lava cake itself was not cooked very well so I wonder if the oven or whatever they used to bake tgese was just having a hard time that night Anyhow, this is usually a lovely spot to go up as they have the rooftop and you can also sit outside. However, with this experience and just how overpriced it is and having to pay for food that wasn't cooked, we won't be returning.

Food has stepped up a lot, calamari and drinks were top notch, the tuna crudo was delicious as well, and chocolate lava cake was delicious and recommended by our server. View is very beautiful as well, overall 5/5 considering my earlier rating 4 years ago

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!

Highest roof top bar, great for grabbing drinks with friends. The seasonal drinks were fanatic, highly recommend the match drink. Server was friendly and quick service. Parking at the hotel seemed to the best cheapest around and was super simple.

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.

Great location to the Kia. Enter with nice food and fab drinks . Outdoor terrace has great views and a separate outdoor bar.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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

$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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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 ).

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.
