Cocktails & Screams

This bar is so cool. Love the drink selection. I try to visit every time I come to downtown Orlando. Typically I go during the week and its pretty empty but I hear the weekends are hopping. Highly recommend visiting at least once.

I come across this place in an Instagram ad and I am so glad I added it into our trip! This place was awesome and I don't know what was better, the drinks, the decor, or the girls singing... it was an absolute VIBE all around! We tried multiple drinks on the menu and not a single one let us down! The atmosphere of this place is 100000/10 and I could hangout here all night!

This place is absolutely awesome!!! Such a cool and creative spot. I really hope they keep it the way it is, because it has a killer vibe. When I first got there, the music was all rock, and it fit the theme perfectly. But later in the night, it suddenly shifted to mostly pop, and even a couple of reggaeton songs were played. Not sure if it was because a group of younger ladies showed up, but it definitely changed the atmosphere a bit. Still, the overall experience was great! The decor, the energy, and the drinks were all on point. It’s one of those places you just have to visit at least once... I just hope they stick to their original style (Rock Music) because that’s what makes it so unique.

Had a great time! I loved the atmosphere and DJ Eric was incredible! The music was so good! I loved how it wasnt too genre specific. Great vibes, drinks and energy! A great place to be during Halloween season!

All year Halloween themed bar. There is cover when it’s closer to Halloween and when there is a special event. But overall, a nice place to visit while you’re in Orlando! Fun cocktails and decor. The cocktails are pretty sweet though. There is a speakeasy bar inside of this place called “The Craft.” You don’t need a reservation but might need to wait a little bit to get in on the weekend.

If you’re into the Halloween vibe you will love cocktails and screams. The atmosphere was so cool. The decorations and lighting was perfect. The drinks were great and the staff are friendly and welcoming. All in all it was awesome. Definitely going back In October. I heard they really go all out. Can’t wait.

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.

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.

Initial Thoughts: If you love horror-goth themed bars that run year-round and not just on Halloween, Cocktails & Screams has your number in Orlando's Central Business District (CBD). The bar radiates Halloween 24-7-365, and I am all for it. If I lived in the surrounding area, I would come here all the time. I would spread the love with the core of the being. I would become with my eternal Dracula meets Freddy Krueger meets Michael Myers, combined with a bunch of Beetlejuice. From the moment you walk through the front door, you are confronted by the front drop of a haunted house, followed by a table of heads and masks hung on the wall. There is a small shack that, up a few steps, will lead you into a room where you can engage in psychic services (or it's Palm Reading, one of the two, but I digress). Once you pass the shack, you enter the main lounge area that comprises a stage to the far left, the bar to the far right, a VIP vampire lounge in the back, and another corner with some swing chairs that have some more psychedelic features. There are electronic portraits inspired by 1800s portraits that look prim and proper, then turn demonic, hung on the walls on both sides of the stage. The vibes are golden with fog machines flowing smoke into the lounge, purple and red velvet furniture, Frankenstein fixtures at the bar area, a flow of appropriate metal, and goth music playing on the speakers, all set against dark color lighting. We grabbed drinks at the bar fairly easily as the bartender was prompt and had her rhythms on point. Cocktail-wise, the list presented tends to fall more on the sweet side, so if that is not your thing, make sure to ask the bartender for more tart and drier options. But the drinks made you feel happy... and spooky. The Love Potion #9 shot is a solid tequila-based one with blood orange syrup and strawberry simple syrup. The heat-driven Horny Devil does fall on the spicy side if you aren't necessarily inclined (I was and was all for it) between the Ghost tequila, habanero lime, and blood orange syrup, and strawberry simple syrup -- you probably see a pattern here. But the gold ghoul winner is Madame Leota, who is smokey for the effect, like it comes from a witch's cauldron. Made with gin, white cranberry, elderflower, triple sec, and lime juice, this cocktail was my favorite between the taste, the balance of flavors, and the spookiness. Synergy. Extra synergy.

This place was a total letdown. It has the perfect theme and absolutely incredible aesthetics, the decor alone is top-tier and makes you want to love it. Unfortunately, that's about where the positives end. The staff weren't very attentive, the drinks were disappointing (especially for the price), and the volume level made it almost impossible to enjoy any conversation. They do have a speakeasy in the back that's worth checking out, the cocktails there are far better, but it almost always has a waiting list. Unless you're coming for a special event or just to admire the decor, I can't really recommend this place. It's a great idea poorly executed.

Small little dive. Perfect for a little girls night out. I went there personally for a men's show which was very entertaining. The drinks were good. Nothing too flashy about them, but when you're at a cocktail bar, drinks are essential. The bartenders were very friendly. A couple of them knew the customers which means that they have frequent guest, which is a good thing. If a customer comes back overall would recommend this place for a quick little drink and some live entertainment again with the girls or guys LOL. Definitely recommend to go in just even for the atmosphere. See you there!

We came in for some spooky vibes and had a good experience. My girlfriends and I got a couple drinks and shots. I got the Madame Leota and it was really good. It was floral and fruity. I also tried the Love Potion and Butterbeer shots. The love potion was very tart and the butter beer was sweet and cinnamon-y. They have a fun unique menu and all the drinks are served in fun glassware with fog. Service is good and our bar tender was nice. Everything is Halloween themed and they have live music and events. It's a fun place to stop by, especially in the fall.

The ambiance was spooky (per the advertisements). It's a bar establishment by the way the chairs were. It was an absolute fun time for me and my friends. The service was very friendly and entertaining. The MC and the dancers definitely know how to hype up a room. The drinks were okay in general BUT the "Purple People Eater" was an AMAZING shot. They also have a "Mystery Bag Vending Machine" and it was sooo cool. Love that they had that. I wish i took more pictures but amazing vibes.

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.

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!

Great for spooky season and year round. Menu is very flavorful. Had a great new experience! Ambiance is great as well

"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!

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!

This place should not charge a cover. Cocktails are overpriced for what they are. Old Fashioned is not a true old fashioned; other drinks are way too sweet. Staff is rude and unprofessional. I understand that it's literally called "Cocktails and Screams" but the cocktails aren't done well or right and you're stuck with that - no beer and no wine. Bathrooms are disgusting. Never going again.

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.

okay vibe, okay drinks, disgusting bathroom, i honestly wasn't even going to leave a review before i saw this. the build up of mold from the lack of cleaning is something you wouldn't even find at the diviest of bars, staff seemed like they were waiting to kick us out lol. pretty terrible bar but with great company it's just below okay!!!

My fav spot in Orlando! Loved when they had the drag queen. Went yesterday and it was kinda boring! DJ definitely didnt have the energy and they were charging $5 to enter

This hidden Gem in Orlando is such a cute and perfect spot, the decor is amazing and helps it remain spooky year round (my favorite holiday of course). Yesterday night was my first time going and wow. How have I not been here before? The bouncer was super friendly and made us feel welcome in. The bartender that we had in the back section "The Craft" was so amazing. we had great conversations, he helped me and my wife and our friends make the best drinks and he was so sweet overall. I have to make sure that Chris is there next time I go! My drink was so good and the service was beyond outstanding. He was attentive and helpful and crafted the best cocktails. We were celebrating a friend's divorce and end of her labs for school and he made sure we knew we picked the right place to celebrate. 1000000 x 1000000 recommend.

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.

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.

The theme of this place is fantastic as many people have commented. The drinks were very good and they theme so well too. Me and my friends want to go again soon

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.

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!

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.

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!!

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.

The drinks were inventive and well made. Priced pretty well for cocktails and a fantastic atmosphere. We had a great night! The door games at the entrance while we waited were interesting.

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.

Loved everything about this place! The decor, the spooky cocktails, the music, employees were so kind, everything was phenomenal! Would always recommend this place!

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.

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 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!

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!

Drinks are a bit pricy but the bartenders are friendly and you simply cant beat the horror/gothic atmosphere.

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 ...

Called several times to make reservations...no answer. Booked on line then appointment was cancelled. So frustrating....not worth the hassle.....we will take our business elsewhere.....wanted to give zero stars but that's not an option.

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.

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. :)

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.

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'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!

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!

This place is so much fun! Lively interior, friendly staff, great music, the drinks are eclectic and flavorful. Highly recommend!

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 .

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!

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!

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).

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.
