This bar and speakeasy was a lot of fun. Creative drink menu and amazing horror decor. It's definitely a unique place for a date or fun night out. We are in from out of town and had a blast. Great vibes with good folks. The bartenders made fantastic drinks and were very cool. This a must stop if you are looking for a spooky good time.

Not your typical bar — and that’s what makes it great. This was my first time in a place like this. No food at all — just cocktails and a very unique atmosphere. If you’re into rock, spooky vibes, or alternative style, you’ll probably love it here. I’m not usually a fan of this kind of music, but I really enjoyed the energy and creativity of the space. There’s an overwhelming amount of decor — art, displays, odd little details — you could spend an hour just walking around and looking at everything. ⚠️ Downsides: – No food available at all, so come prepared. – Parking is $10.75/hour nearby — kind of ridiculous. – The women’s bathroom was dirty: mirrors were smudged, toilet area was a mess, and there was no toilet paper. Please take care of this. If you know what you’re walking into, it’s a cool experience. But if you’re expecting a typical bar with food and chill music — this isn’t it.

Had a great time! We went early on Father's Day, and we had the whole bar to ourselves for a long time! The bartender was phenomenal, and the drinks were delicious. No complaints about service at all - staff was incredible. Decor and vibes were immaculate, the music was exactly what I had hoped for. I do think management has some work to do, tho. There was a lot of broken bar equipment and we could see staff struggling. Also, I have worked in bars plenty, but this kind of tourist attraction should probably mop the floors once in a while. It was pretty gnarly. The bathroom also had no paper towels and was kinda gross. Considering we were the first customers of the day, I don't imagine it got cleaner throughout the night...

Absolutely! Here's a polished Google review for Cocktails & Screams that subtly incorporates your branding and updated tags, including @theexecutivelist instead of your old handle: --- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re in Orlando and looking for a truly unique night out, Cocktails & Screams is an absolute must. From the moment you walk in, you're transported into an immersive haunted speakeasy filled with theatrical details, killer cocktails, and spooky-chic vibes. The drinks are as creative as they are strong, the staff is incredibly fun, and the ambiance is unlike anything else downtown. Perfect for locals, tourists, and anyone looking to elevate their nightlife experience. This is the kind of hidden gem that deserves a spot on every travel itinerary — whether you’re here for business, pleasure, or just passing through.

Our first time coming here to celebrate my birthday, we all had an awesome time, the drinks were so cute and really tasty ! The Dj was lit 🔥 if you’re wondering the entrance fee was $5 cash or $10 if you’re using your card. I also loved how everyone could have fun and be weird and dance together with no judgment, definitely will be back again !! 🥳

Heard about this place from a friend who said it was a great place to stop in for drinks. The bar has a lot of themed drinks from the horror genre and the decor is great but definitely could be better. The atmosphere in the bar was good, they had a DJ playing tunes, they had some contests for drinks throughout the evening. There is more potential here that isn't tapped yet. All in all though, it was good fun.

The place is perfect to hang out with friends if you dig a dark vibe, every square inch is meticulously detailed. The scare actors are more friendly than anything. The drinks taste as awesome as they look. Ask about the back room, and dont forget to tip.

My friend and I went here because we were drawn by the cool theme. First thing we did was walk to the bathroom and it was atrocious. The floor was sticky and there was zero hand soap in the women’s bathroom. We literally had to go into the men’s bathroom to get hand soap. We both got a drink and they were subpar at best. It really seems like they spent all their money on the decor. The couches were ripped up and unpleasant to sit on. We were really interested in checking out the speakeasy so I asked the bartender about it and she really didn’t give me enough information to understand how it works. It was honestly quite a letdown, but we tried to be hopeful to see if it was still gonna be cool. Once we got in…the bartender was drunk. He was slurring his speech and he even stumbled a couple times while trying to make my drink. It was honestly concerning. We had to pay a cover fee because they were hosting a “summer bash” which consisted of a few blowup beach balls and a kiddie pool which seemed very unsafe and unsanitary once people were splashing water all over the place. Some of the music was OK, but overall, it was very confusing that they kept changing it up and playing pop and pop-punk when it really didn’t fit the theme that we understood the bar was supposed to be. Definitely do not recommend spending your money here.

PLEASE KEEP THIS PLACE ALIVE FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! Such a horrificaly beautiful feel to this spot. Easily my favorite place to go whenever I want a drink, a nice scene, and rad music. I couldn't compliment this place enough. Service is timely, well priced, and welcoming with open arms. This is a true hidden gem in the deep soul of Orlando that deserves to live on forever. Bless C&S!

What a blast Cocktails and Screams is, it had everything you can want in a night club like great music from dance music like Tayler swift to techno, drum and base to RNB all the way to metal music, and grunge! Everyone is dancing and having a blast. People even dress up in costumes here like Cosplay. Plus, the atmosphere was just so fun with all kinds of spooky decor on the walls. From different movie themes like " interview with the vampire" to "Frankenstein", and different thrillers. The reason I gave this four stars is because we ordered many drinks to try that they recommended in their menu, and they were all terrible super sour and they were expensive found that out when we got our bill. Because there is no prices listed on the menu. Also, they had this really cool Pirate theme speak easy thing in the back. Right when we get in line to go inside, they closed. We waited for the line to die down and they close right in our face. We came a long way to try this out and they closed on us. But that's OK. We still had a great time. Love the atmosphere in this place. Loved the DJ he was so exciting. We would be willing to try it again because we had such a blast there.

When this bar first opened, it was amazing. Opened in 2019. Played the best music, served both specialty drinks and regular ones if you're not into the specialty drinks. Great music, gorgeous decor, dark atmosphere, the patrons were mostly older, it was a Halloween themed bar, horror movies galore. Fast forward to 2024-2025. Worst place ever. Now it's reduced itself down to Disney, and childlike movies, And JFC can we stop with the constant Twilight soundtrack?! Literally turning into what Hot Topic is now, pop culture emo, I wont be surprised if Hello Kitty shows up. The feeling of offering a curated collection of licensed pop culture merchandise, that's what it's turned into. Not only did I accidently leave my CC behind, but they used it to give themselves a tip, a very large tip. I had to cancel my card due to not trusting the business. Sorry no bartender there was worth that tip. Especially when they took it among themselves to use my card to pay themselves without consent. Second, the last time I went in there, they informed me that I can only order from the specialty menu now, no more....you know, actual cocktails, real drinks, other than the made-up drinks they teach their unprofessional bartenders to make. So you're paying 16.00+ for a drink, for cheap alcohol. Literally paying for the title of the drink. The same night, I was in the small backroom, t5he so called "speakeasy" and no problem waiting for the first two before me, but then he pushed me aside and made me wait for my order after he knew I had been waiting for at least ten minutes already, to take an order from others who came up after me. Seriously? The bathrooms are constantly gross now, no one cleans them, which is a shame because the decor still slaps. The cleanliness however, does not. The bartenders are rude if you're not a regular, and the music is literally the same emo, pop songs every time. They have opened about 6 new themed bars, not Horror or Halloween related and so I tried 1-Up Orlando, and it was dead as a doornail, and had the same quality. I just wish I could find a club/bar that keeps consistency, doesn't rob you, and plays a variety of music that goes with the theme, and has bartenders who actually know how to make drinks. What a shame. Also, when do they sell food? Only during an afternoon themed show maybe but not any other time. I've tried ordering food and it's always, we don't serve food now, or even then.

If you love dark gothic scary places and the vibes of scary chilling places. This is your spot. Service at the door was excellent. The scary DJ was amusing and colorful.

Such a fun and well done horror/halloween bar! I felt like they included every type of character for Halloween/horror throughout the entire bar through decor and themed drinks! It was so fun to just relax, have live music, order cool drinks and enjoy your favorite vibes. The bartenders were extremely nice and very fast at making drink orders. Couldn't ask for anything more. I loved looking at all of the details they put in to each section of the bar, whether it was the drinks, bathrooms, tables, special corners, etc. well worth the visit and the drinks are SO good! I absolutely loved my frog's breath and witches brew. Both were the perfect balance of a good drink but not too sweet. Plus the dry ice was a cool addition to both. My husband had Franks stein and it was just as yummy! Definitely try out their speakeasy if you can (+ make reservations ahead of time) because it's quite awesome and such a unique experience. No photos allowed though!

"Cocktails & Screams" where 365 days is Halloween and with a speakeasy hidden bar I dare you to go in! Amazing Halloween decorations from horror movies photos and posters, statues, mask, smoke, voodoo, and more all year round! Their bartenders are friendly and fast making your drink. Pretty much all drinks are smoking and have great flavor. The atmosphere is also great, with live music and a Dj that interacts with the crowd to make your experience more exciting. Is like New Orleans in Orlando!

Cool theme. Mediocre drinks. Bathroom was absolutely atrocious. Sticky floor, no hand soap. They have a speakeasy which took forever to get into. Not sure how it truly works. Once we did get in, the bartender was inebriated. This place was ratchet and not in a good way. Dirty and gross. Do not let TikTok fool you, like it did us. Highly do NOT recommend!!

Really awesome decor at this horror themed bar. The drinks have fun names and great presentations. There is a cover charge to get in and the drink prices are up there, so it's not the most affordable place to have a drink but it is one of the cooler vibes. We went on a Friday night and when we first got there we had plenty of room to roam and appreciate the decor, by 9:30PM this place was packed and difficult to maneuver around with a long line of people waiting to get in. I would recommend a visit, but definitely best to go in non-peak hours.

Fun spot to grab a drink. If you love Halloween then this place is for you. Always have great music such as rock, Screamo, pop punk. So much detail in the bar to look at. They have a speak easy based on the craft. Must order a drink in the speak easy. It was a $10 cover charge on a Friday night. Well worth it for me

I've been here on several occasions, both for a special event and simply because we wanted to go somewhere after a show at the Amway/Kia Center. It's always a good time with a good variety of seating choices and drinks to match the atmosphere. They could probably add a server or two, as they're always running. Even so, service has always been good. You'll just have to wait for it.

They did such an awesome job with the interior here! From creepy changing portraits to holographic ghosts and beyond, this spot is a Halloween- lover's paradise. The drinks were excellent too, with cool presentations and inventive flavors. Despite being a busy night, the bartenders were friendly and helpful and answered any questions I had. Will definitely be back!

Went here on a Friday night and had a great time. I've been for just drinks, and brunch before, but this was my first time on a late night. First of all the decorations: just like everyone comments, the place is decorated so great! Tons of scary masks, horror movie posters, skull sinks in the bathrooms, animated pictures on the wall, great lighting, etc. part of the fun is to just walk around and check it all out. Tonight was limited to drinking and people watching. The ladies were having tasty cocktails, while I stuck with beer, which, admittedly could have used some improvement. They had a coffee lager, a pumpkin ale, and one or two others. There were cups on some tap handles does, so maybe they were just low on supply to tonight. Despite the place being quite full, the bartenders were quick to serve me. There was a live band (claimed to be the house band; The Pumpkin Guts?) that played 90's/2000's emo & pop punk. They kept the place dancing & singing along. In between, a DJ got the crowd into a sing along and dance off and was great at drawing attention to dancers young and old(er). He also sang a bit and had an amazing voice. All in all, if you like your bars on the darker side with a crowd that seems like a connected community; check it out.

Reservations are strongly encouraged; we had them and thank goodness because the Sunday we went they were packed. There's a reason for that, just look at my pics to get an idea on how truly cool the decor is. Horror personified. The skull sinks in the bathroom are insane! I want one! The food is well prepared, flavorful, fresh ingredients, prepared with love. Themed cocktails are mind-blowing. Staff are nothing short of excellent.

A really cool place if you're into horror and rock music. I'm a scare-dy cat but this place is not what you think. You walk in and it's dark -- but it's comforting place if you grew up with Fall Out Boy, Paramore, Panic! Music is great and the bartenders are friendly and happy to be there. Came here specifically for the speakeasy (with reservation). So worth it. Vibe inside is mellow and calm from the outside -- and the drinks are much more stronger and creative. Coming back soon!

Cocktails and Screams is a Halloween-inspired bar that's open year round, but is in its true element during the month of Halloween. With sinister speciality cocktails, this is a must-do in October. Check out one of the themed events going on this month!

This place has so much potential as it is really well decorated. The staff is horrible. We went the week before halloween and paid 20$ to join a waitlist. Then we went to check our spots because we never received a text, after 2 hours, where they proceeded to tell us texting has stopped. They never notified us and we would've never known if we didn't go. Then we waited in a 1 hour line where the staff taunted us as we asked them questions and even came up to us in the bar spouting rude things. Then to top it all off we waited in line with our wristbands we paid 20$ for and all the people in line got in for free. Huge scam. Our bartender also gave us drinks with no alcohol. We verified this because our friend got the same drink and it was strong. Worst service I've ever gotten anywhere. Very disappointed because it is a very cool place.

Very cool themed bar. The cocktail listIt's pretty cool. I just asked for which ones came with dry eyes and made smoke when I drank them. The bathrooms were really cool. They have all sorts of decor favorite horror movies all around the bar. One of the major reasons they have lost a star here is simply because of parking. The parking in this area is horrible. Just trying to find a spot was ridiculous. And in the places I said free city parking had a guy in front charging for parking. After you park and work your way back down to the road the bars on. You better know where the bar is because there's very little signage to indicate. Luckily for us there was a line of people dressed up like beetlejuice. If I didn't mention there's a hidden speak easy in the back which is a really cool touch. The entire bar is decorated really well. I may return in the future but with the cost of cocktails and a difficulty in parking and trying to find the location it seems like I won't be back here very soon.

I was here for the burlesque horror show, I had a great time with my gals. The drinks were good, very strong but decent. I loved the entry way that had a bunch of masks. The decor was on theme, really enjoyed it. I would love to go back when it's not Halloween to see if it is as fun. Will have to go back. Clean bathrooms were also great!

Several friends of mine visited here with me on a Friday night in July. The theme that night was Christmas in July. We paid $5 cash cover at the door and entered into such spooky but jolly of a place. The drummer and singer were MAGNIFICENT!!!! We all danced for hours to them playing. They played a great mix of grunge, christmas tunes, and club hits. We even requested a few songs that they played. The drinks were flowing and even though the bar was packed, the bartenders served us fairly quick. We drank seltzers for the most part. I parked a few blocks over in the parking lots and only cost $10 for the night. I suggest everyone pay a visit here - especially since this is the perfect time of the year for it.

No food ordered. Service in the speakeasy is as fast, friendly and knowledgeable crew. Pretty cool, and chill place to unwind. It is an experience.

Yelp
Fun interior, poor service. Bartender charged me $17 for a drink that is listed $14 on the menu. That made my experience immediately, pretty negative. I had been to this bar before and got drinks with a fun experience or a cool garnish, but cocktail was totally plain and the scammy bartender made me never want to come back here. Obviously, this bar has gone downhill and has gotten pretty trashy, and I will no longer be recommending it to people.

This place is so fun and well themed. On a Sunday night it wasn't very busy so we had plenty of space to sit, chat, and admire the decor. It's cozy, a mix of fun lights that aren't overwhelming, and music that doesn't have you screaming at the person sitting next to you. Also the menu looked amazing! Interesting drinks, especially the witch's brew which is what I ordered. It was refreshing and not overly sweet, but I felt it could've been stronger for sure. Overall I would definitely come back to see the atmosphere when it's more busy and try the fun drinks!

This place needs to make up its mind. Either your bar or you're a club. I shouldn't be charged a cover to go into a bar... if you're looking for a laid back halloween vibe at a bar go to the courtesy ...

The food might take forever to arrive, but it's worth it. Brunch is great. Their events are fun, especially Rocky Horror. Waitress is really nice. There's a secret bar in the back only open on certain nights that's more expensive but it's worth it. No cameras allowed in the secret bar. The regular bar is extremely fun to take pictures in. The menu changes.

Cocktails & Screams is an experience to die for! The bar is Halloween themed and has amazing photo worthy decor all throughout. The staff plays the parts of certain themed nights and always ensures you're having a good time! Eric & The Butcher are an amazing duo who play great music you can sing and dance too! There is also a speakeasy in the back (reservations needed). My favorite part of C&S is that I feel SAFE. No matter who I speak with, dance with, accidentally bump into, they're always kind and respectful souls. Will forever call C&S my "go to" bar. :)

Cocktails & Screams was on my Orlando's most wanted list ever since it opened. I finally got to go with my daughter during a weekend visit. She loves horror movies so I thought she would really enjoy this bar. I found the parking in the Church Street Station section of Orlando to be scarce and expensive. We actually ended up parking at UCF and walking about a mile through some not so good parts of Orlando. I wouldn't recommend that again. Downtown Orlando, you are looking a little rough at night. When we finally made it to the bar I was more than ready to go in but not so fast. You have to get subjected to the most invasive pat down I have ever gone through. The airport is not that thorough. I had a metal detector waved over me, I was patted down, and every item in our purses was examined. It was so intrusive that at one point my daughter was explaining her choice of feminine hygiene product in her bag. By the time we made it through the door we both felt violated and were in a bad mood. As soon as you walk in you are greeted with a wall of severed heads. To the right is a haunted house. The main bar is set up like Frankenstein's lab with a base of skulls. Drinks and food are all themed on Halloween and horror movies. Searing areas like Addams Family and Elvira are arranged using couches and lounge chairs. The hallway to the bathrooms is lined with horror movie posters and the sinks in the bathrooms are giant skulls. I ordered two drinks at the bar. They were cute with dry ice smoke effects. While we were enjoying our cocktails I saw the entrance to the Craft speakeasy in the back. I tried to find out online how to get in but was unsuccessful. I finally found someone who explained that people make reservations for The Craft online. They offered to take my name for the list and eventually were able to fit us in. To get you have to wave a spell around the door. The Craft has a voodoo vibe. Pictures are forbidden but there is a video on YouTube. We met our werewolf bartender Wolfgang who will custom create a cocktail based on a phrase you give him or a flavor profile. We were also advised that he could create a drink using absinthe. My daughter gave him a horror movie and I requested something with coconut and pineapples. He chatted with us while he did his magic and we both loved our drinks. In the craft you get more personalized attention from your bartender and a bit of a show. After your drink is created you can sit in the special lounge area in the craft and enjoy it. Wolfgang and the Craft was my favorite part of the Cocktails & Screams experience. He even let me sneak picture of our cocktails. As we were walking out we stopped to talk to staff about what we went through at the door and they explained that LGBT friendly establishments are more at risk. After thinking about Pulse this made more sense but I still think it was over the top. I don't know if this is the normal procedure or if it was just the security person we ran into. If you are interested, Cocktails and Screams offers special events like brunch, horror movies, horror trivia, bands, DJ's, Scaryoke, and Drag Queen bingo. Also you can check out more of The Craft on Wolfgang's Instagram @wolfgang_the_bartender.

I'd give Cocktails and Screams 100 stars if I could! My friend and I heard about this place on Facebook and while we were in Orlando, we decided to check it out. There are a few greeters at the door to welcome you and explain how the bar works and what to expect. It was throwback night, so they were playing all of the songs of my millennial youth. For drinks, I ordered the scarlet fever and my friend ordered the Sabrina. My drink was a bit weak, but I bought an extra shot of ghost pepper tequila to balance the sweetness a bit. My friend really enjoyed his drink. They added dry ice the glasses for a cool Smokey effect. The bar tenders were so cool and nice, you could genuinely tell that they're enjoying themselves. I really can't wait to go back for another drink!

Don't want to wait for Halloween Horror Nights? This place is open all ear long with curated cocktails designed to scare you silly! The bartenders are experts at their craft, and the craft drinks here are amazing, featuring everything from smoking dry ice, to flaming marshmallows, to pumpkin buckets! Go online and reserve your spot for the custom cocktail crafting in the (not so hidden) speakeasy.

This is my favorite bar ever! If you're looking for spooky vibes, a great crowd, and drinks that bubble, smoke, and sparkle - this is your spot!! It was the first bar I ever brought my boyfriend and best friend to - neither are "club people" or drink often - and no one wanted to leave at the end of the night (which was really the morning haha). There's a back room I have yet to make a reservation for, but I always go on a Friday night for the events. The DJs and drag queens have all been phenomenal, and I genuinely can't wait to make coming here more of a habit. I start off with the witch's brew and end with something new. Nothing has beaten it so far though! Drinks range from $6.66 for shots to $15ish for full-sized drinks. Last night we tried the butter beer shot, which was everything we wanted and more, but the supernatural was a little too sickly sweet for my liking. I already know what I'm trying over the next five visits haha. It's a little on the darker side, but it helps you appreciate all the beautiful details the owners put into the aesthetic - the decaying portraits, Stranger Things mural and light display, Adam's Family corner, and even the cobwebbed/flickering chandeliers. When I update my review at a later date, it will involve many more photos of those! Overall, well-worth the $5-$7 cover charge to get in on weekends. P.S. the cover charge is lower if you pay in cash.

This spot has been high on my radar for some time so we decided to stop in when we were already in the downtown area. Service and the security were friendly. The ambiance is perfect as a horror fan. I enjoyed the high tops with iconic characters. However, the Scarlet Fever drink was insanely strong, we both agreed. A few areas were dirty. I wished the music was more horror themed. That would have been awesome!

Found this place due to tik tok! Sent it to a friend who was visiting from out of town so we decided to check it out since she really enjoys anything horror related. Wouldn't be surprised if other people have found this place from tik tok as well. There was a long wait time to enter the bar on a rainy night. I didn't expect that. There's also a cover fee to enter- sorry, don't remember the price for that BUT they do accept cash or card which is convenient since we were unaware of the cover we were able to use card. I really did appreciate the theme of this place every corner of this bar was right on theme- the bathrooms, the walls, the drinks, etc. there are many photo ops if you're into that kinda stuff! Drinks weren't bad. Honestly giving it 3 stars since the guy checking out ID's wasn't that great...a little rude to be honest.

The drinks were definitely interesting, I'll never get bored of dry ice presentation. The service could have been better, although it was quite busy. The layout in there is a bit awkward; it's like there isn't enough seating for it to feel like a lounge/bar, but not enough open areas to feel completely like a club. Worth stopping by because the drink presentations are interesting and I love the theming. Pretty solid!

Yelp
The only thing saving it was the thought that went into decorating. With only one bartender serving up weak drinks at $14 each its not worth it. Poor grade liquor at less than a shot poured into a drink does not justify the $5 cover ($10 if you're in the 20th century and don't carry cash).

I can't believe Cocktails & Screams has been open 4 years and this was my first time! It has everything spooky and scary, but without the real scares. Our group made a reservation for the Hidden Witch Bar in the very back. It was a very nice getaway from the performance happening -- some sort of dj was singing karaoke. I'm old, it was loud. We were told the experience would be around 45 minutes and that there is no menu. The host opened the special passageway and smoke blows out. No photos or video are allowed in the back bar, making it very tempting to sneak some pics but also makes you soak in all the spooky decor and enjoy your "medicinal" cocktail. The "witch doctor in-training" aka the bar back said to tell the witch doctor your preferred liquor or absinthe, you ailments or your current feeling or desires, give him a flavor profile and the witch doctor will make something tailored to you. No drink names are given but everyone got unique cups with their tailor made cocktails. Everyone loved their cocktails!! I was disappointed that more and more people came in and filled the bar up -- there is only 1 witch doctor. The host came and I asked if we could get an additional beverage but he basically said to get out, but we had not even paid yet. It was interesting that it's basically 1 drink a person but yet don't make you check out right there and then -- they make you go back to the bar to close out. The Mad Hatter was running around the night we went and we found he's the owner and he said to check out his new bar opening that will be Alice in Wonderland themed! Fun experience all around!

What I love about this place is that it's UNIQUE!!! I think Orlando in some ways lacks that. This bar has craft cocktails with a unique Halloween/Spooky twist. Every cocktail has a bit of entertainment and the bartenders do a good job of keeping you engaged. The VJ the night that we went was amazing. We had a great time watching them bring people up to dance and of course encouraged us to drink more. We had a really great time and will definitely be frequenting this bar if we're downtown. But don't take my word for it, go experience it for yourself. Tip - They have a bar in the back but we weren't sure how to get in but we didn't mind because the front bar was so entertaining.

First time here, have seen alot of hype on IG - maybe I misunderstood but we showed up when a show was ending so we had to wait outside for almost an hr, they charged us a cover I believe it was $10 there was a rock band playing (I dont mind live music but that was not the vibe I was expecting, so maybe call or do research before going) the space was awkwardly distributed so it didnt feel like a bar we could just "chill" at, its cool for pictures but not at all what we had expected- we left within 10-15 minutes.

AHH! You will have a scary good time at this bar! This was my first time in and it was AWESOME. Its absolutely every Halloween lovers dream, I'm indifferent to Halloween but even I was impressed. The décor, the servers, the costumes and outfits, the DJ, everything was so fun. My favorite part was the secret room that they have at the back of the bar. THAT was truly an experience and I would recommend that if you can get your name on that list..GO DO IT! My friend and I each just got two vodka drinks that were about 10 dollars each but they have a very fun menu with different Halloween themed drinks ranging in price (not cheap, but what do you expect) We went about 9pm on a Friday night and it was already packed so make sure you get your drinks early!

I went last night for the first time and played Rocky Horror Bingo with my boyfriend Zach. It was really cool. First you had to purchase tickets- each bingo ticket was $13 but you get a baggie of throwables and a bingo card and a dotter. Since it was the start of Pride they also had a drag performance after but that was a separate ticket starting at $45. We stayed for about two hours and it was SO MUCH FUN. So the bill of the evening wasn't bad- however I gave her cash and then seeing it post this morning she charged me double so I'm not sure if that's a normal thing or not. I didn't charge the tip because I'm a bit broke however I did put a line through the tip amount and wrote out CASH. It was a total of $24 including my drink and the black cherry soda that I sucked down. I had a witches brew and he had a frogs breath. The drinks were excellent .

This place was awesome for horror fans and fans of unique cocktails! The bartenders were attentive and our group had a great conversation with them! The cocktails were a little pricey but at the same rate as most downtown cocktails ($14+). We went on a week night before midnight so there was no cover charge!

Tried a couple of the cocktails from the main menu and both were pretty good. Also checked out their speakeasy in the back which followed a similar theme but more of a chill vibe. Probably wouldn't do the back again (it's pretty small and some areas had an unpleasant scent), but wanted to see it for the experience and check out their mixologist who w​as pretty friendly and accommodating (everyone throughout the place on both sides were very friendly). Enjoyed the artwork and decorations, the MC was good about engaging the crowd, and the music was perfect for the setting (went on a Tuesday for their emo night). Good time overall and planning to return!

Here it's Halloween year round. I've been meaning to check out Cocktails and screams. After hearing about their many events and weekly goings I figured I'd come check them out. I love how when you first walk in everything is very immersive. The wall with all of the masks certainly pulls you in. There's a bunch of different themes all throughout this location. It was a bit busier the night we went so I didn't get to look at everything up close. Will definitely have to go back for one of their Wednesday karaoke nights. My husband and I went and it was $15 for both of us to get in. I don't drink alcohol so I opted to try the $9 mocktail. Found out that they also do brunch so I'll need to go back for that. The crowd kind of seemed to be doing their own things so they weren't really interacting with the DJ. I'm sure during other nights it can be quite the fun party here. You can tell that they go above and beyond with making sure everything looks towards the theme. Which I truly appreciate. If you're in the Halloween mood and you're in downtown Orlando I definitely recommend checking this place out.

Such a great bar it is one of my favorites!! The creepy scary vibe is all a facad, though! You can tell this place really cares about its patrons. Everyone is welcome, and the house band and (YES, AND) DJ were so engaging. They really kept the place jumping and kept everyone interacting with 3achother. My only complaint would be that the prices ate a bit steep. If not for that, I would give this wonderful place 5 stars!!
