GB Bottle Shop & Tasting Bar

They have a great variety of food trucks on some evenings but don’t serve food as An establishment. However they have the best selection of craft beers from everywhere available for takeout at a lower price or you can drink it there and pay slightly more. They have a great selection of draft beer and their own signature lager which is a very good everyday type of lager. GB’s is a great supporter of other businesses in the community and are very giving, caring people and they have created a super cool spot for sitting and drinking good beer with friends, inside or outside. They have a killer trivia night and you can go there and watch sports on one of their handful of tv’s. Also a great stop on the way home from work to run in and grab a few beers to drink at home with dinner. They have a small parking lot but there’s usually a spot to pop in real quick. Many of the clientele live in the neighborhood and walk over. And best of all it’s dog friendly!!

I was otw home and saw the led sign in the window as I was passing by and I decided to take a detour. I am extremely happy I did. One of my favorite beers is out of season now and I have been on the hunt for another alternate. Shawn helped me with easy and knew just what I was looking for. What a gem 💎 so happy I ran into this spot. I will be back and highly recommend

The bartender was great! The had one sour on tap and a cider that were both gluten free. The one selections they had in the fridge were seltzers or ciders, but at least they had one decent gluten free option for beer. My husband, on the other hand, had a plethora of IPA options. So he was even more thrilled than I was!

Any time we're in Orlando, this is a must stop for us! The best selection of craft beer to go and drink on-site that I know of in the area. The tap list always has a variety of fantastic beers, its Dog friendly, and the best atmosphere!

It's one of the cooler spots I've been too lately in the ivanhoe/ Mills area. I like how they have many craft beers from all over the states. What had me scratching my head is the to-go beer option where you can get the beer cheaper *close to half off* as opposed to drinking it there. But oh well. None, the less the many tvs and areas to sit and chill was nice for my friends and I. They even have a projector and a couple tvs to catch any game etc.

I can't taste the food because I don't think there was any. Dan was a wonderful host. I heard him being patient and helpful with many people, some of which had clearly had a beverage or two already. Atmosphere is OK, plenty of screens playing whatever Euro futbol event is going on now. Lots of variety to drink and bring home. They do have wine as well as beer. Saw someone buy a plant there which threw me off for a minute. Turns out all the plants there, hanging or on your table, are for sale. I marked that I spent $30-$50 but keep in mind that includes over $20 in carryout beer for later.

Great little craft beer bar and carry out shop. They have about 20 on tap in which you get anywhere from a 3oz taster up to a growler. They also offer about 300 different bottles and cans for retail to go or for a $2 "corkage" you can drink it on premise. Dave, behind the bar was quite accommodating. Besides making me feel quite welcome, he also gave me tips on other cool bars and breweries in the area.

YEAH !! What a great craft beer brewery, so many of their brews and many from other breweries. Our choices were Trippy Animals Doral S FL, 3 sons Dania bch and many more .The staff was beyond super helpful and just really nice. It's a definite gem, can't wait to return.

Down the street from Ziggie's and Santiago's is one of my favorite bars. GB Bottle Shop, a cozy and relaxing spot, is always a good time. I have been there countless times for their trivia nights and drink selection. I am never disappointed. There is always something for everyone - IPAs, ciders, seltzers, wine, and so much more. The drinks on tap rotate and there is always plenty to choose from in the coolers. If you aren't sure and need a suggestion, the folks behind the bar are so friendly and helpful. There is a small selection of food and usually a food truck parked outside. GB is a perfect spot for drinks after work or a "get to know you" date night. If you like trivia, check out their calendar - it is A+!

This little local gem has become a staple and favorite of mine. For those that have not guessed by now, I LOVE the Mills 50 District and Ivanhoe Village community. My favorite yoga studio is here, my favorite dry cleaners, and numerous of my favorite eateries and bars are in these areas. So, it is no surprise that GB's Bottle Shop and Tasting Bar is high on my list of fantastic local spots to hit. In hunt of green beer in honor of St. Patty's day, GB delivered. While the beer itself was nothing to brag about - not like some of their more speciality craft beers are - it got the job done in the spirit of the holiday. The staff, as always, was super friendly. The atmosphere was chill, as it was a late night and they were getting ready to close up. If you haven't been here before, definitely visit them. They have indoor and outdoor seating options, and they are indeed pet friendly, so feel free to bring your fur babies (as long as they are leashed). Pending the day, they offer food from local food truck vendors and will have live music. Their beer options are good, as are their wine options, for those that aren't partial to beer. As someone who indulges in both, it just comes down to my mood, which one I'll choose. Price points are reasonable, too. Again, if you have yet to visit, definitely add them to your list of places to stop by. You'll be happily surprised.

Nice location We did a lil pub crawl today and found this place. It is like Digress but not as good. Its a nice respite in the Ivanhoe district. Sean was great and very helpful

Fun selection of beers, seltzers, wines, coffees and mocktails to choose from. So much variety which is appreciated

GB has a great variety of beers from local breweries to other microbreweries on tap and to take to go Service is friend of and chill We actually went because we heard Palm beach meat company was selling food there and stopped in to pick up some beers.

Super fun tap house with lots of good options of beer for consumption both at the location or to take home. Love the staff they are super nice and there is plenty of setting inside and outside. They often have food trucks and vendors so you can purchase food as they don't serve food. Parking can be hit or miss but this place is worth parking far and walking over.

An easy Friday night. Bartenders are kind and great for recommendations. A super wide selection of cans, wine, even plenty of NA beer and soda options! Always something easy to watch on the tv and a nice breeze from the open barn doors on nice days. This is a place I'd bring out of town friends, parents, my dog. The vibes are perfect.

Cool spot to hang out and grab a beer. They have a large selection. On draft were mostly high ABV beers which I really liked. On my visit they had a lot of drafts from Civil Society, Jupiter FL. Great beer all around. It is a small place, but has plenty of seating. And some cool murals. The one thing I did notice when I walked in is it smelled like old cheese. But that might have been because they had a pizza maker right out side and I m8ght have just been smelling the fresh baked pizza. Still, the staff was awesome on my brief visit and I wouldn't mind visiting again the next time I am in the area.

GBs is the epitome of a neighborhood bar. The staff is friendly and the ambience embodies a chill vibe! They often work with food trucks, so if you pay attention you can get some yummy food as well! Their selection for drafts and cooler drinks is top notch!

GBs is one of our favorite places to stop in for a beer and cider while on Virginia Ave! The ever changing selection always brings new and exciting options in, and the staff is always super friendly and knowledgeable. Take some time and stop in to see them soon, you won't be disappointed!

Always the best service, and top notch draft list. Usually a food truck around on weekends

If you're a craftbeer enthusiast or new to the craftbeer community, check out this great laidback spot in the Ivanhoe Village area and emerge yourself in options. GB has a very knowledgeable and friendly team to assist with your questions. With 20 rotating taps and a bottle shop with both domestic and imported selections they have something for everyone and if you need some guidance, they can steer you in the right direction to purchase for in house consumption or enjoy at home. If you're not a beer drinker, that's cool too...they also have options like cider, mead, and wine. Need a bite, they have an outdoor space and it's often occupied by small business owners selling some good eats. They have a small parking area but there is plenty of street parking available. Remember drink responsibly. Prost!

I had seen this shop from my exploring rounds and decided to give it a try. It caught my eye because sometimes on the weekends they'll have a food vendor outside that you can pair with a good beer from inside, either in a can or draft! I was looking for a sour and they let me try one of the ones they had on tap (don't remember which one, but it was nice and refreshing) and their cider. Since we were not staying, we just went with some options from the fridge. We took a dry cider and the papaya sour (which I still have to try). The staff was nice, friendly and attentive which makes it more welcoming. The set up is nice and organized with a good amount of seating and some outside seating. No parking, but you can find street parking close by.

We always love to come here on a Sunday after we run errands for a treat! Super selection of ciders, seltzers, and beers (and some wine), both in the bottle and on tap. Super chill vibe with a big TV and outdoor space to bring your furry friends. Love it here! The folks that work here are always awesome!

Best stout I've had in years - maybe ever! Cool environment and amazing service. I would definitely recommend for a chill hangout spot.

The best beer selection in Orlando. Laid back vibes, incredible patio, I've spent more time here than probably any other bar in Orlando. The bar staff is extremely knowledgeable and friendly, setting the gold standard for the beer scene. If you enjoy beer, GB's is an absolute must see

Our favorite spot to come on Sunday afternoons. The guys behind the bar are great and the selections are changing frequently enough to keep things interesting but hang around long enough to enjoy over a few weeks.

GB's a local treat. Great bar to kick it and have a great beer or NOW NATURAL WINE :) The bartenders here are some of the friendliest in town. Indoors is very comfortable, couches to sit on, tables, and seats by the bar. There's a big (what use to be parking lot) outside area...with more seating available and umbrellas for shade during the day. They offer tons of beer on draft, really funky ones too. You also have the option of browsing the fridge for a bottled/can beer. Their selection of wine has been rapidly growing as of lately. Music playing here is always great. They will sometimes play games or movies on their projector that is indoors. I love that during the week and sometimes on the weekends they bring food vendors to make things more interesting lol. Note: * They sell plants at really great prices. * Parking can be hard to find * It gets super busy on the weekend!

The variety offered is fantastic. They have lots of seating but very minimal parking. The service is always friendly, offering suggestions and sample sips of what's in draft. You're welcome to bring food or your pet in to enjoy the atmosphere.

This is a cool spot in Ivanhoe with a large variety of beers you can purchase and take home as well as a good selection of drafts to enjoy. There is a nice outdoor patio and a good amount of space inside to sit. Danny and Shawn were serving up brews during our visit and both were super friendly and happy to answer questions and provide recommendations. I also love they have a water station where you can refill as you please since I like to keep hydrated while enjoying my beers. I also loved that while we were there, Cholo Dogs was also on the patio serving up their delicious hot dogs! If you enjoy beers, you definitely need to check this spot out!

This is a such a great bar in the Ivanhoe district, and nearby to mills as well. There's ton of beer and wine options. Yes, wine! Definitely a lot of local and original beer options. They have a wide variety, from IPAs, stouts, seltzers, sours, etc. There's probably a beer you'll like. I love that I can ask a bartender for a recommendation and almost always get a great beer. You can also get some samples if you ask to try them. They often have a food vendor do pop ups on select days, so check their Instagram to see if you can grab something while you're hanging out. Otherwise ziggies is a pizza shop, about a 2 min walk down Virginia. Grab some beer from GBs and a little pizza- sounds like a great night. This bottle shop and bar is an orlando local staple. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

What a great spot. I wanted to check out the Ivanhoe area and this place was "on my list". Happy to say I was pleasantly surprised as it was much nicer than I had expected. This is a bottle shop/bar so you see your equivalent of convivence store coolers filled to the brim with any and every type of beer or seltzer imaginable. Exploring a bit further you will see that there are many many options available on tap as well. I can't remember exactly but I want to say it was close to 20+. I just explained to the bartender what my preferred tastes were and he was able to offer a sample of something that I liked very much! Trust these guys they are not just "serving" but they can be a great resource to your tastes. I noticed they also had mead "on tap" and since I had never tried mead I was offered a taste. Ok so not for me but if you like mead they have several different kinds available here. Staff was great and the place was very clean (including the restrooms). There were TV's on and music playing but it was still very comfortable to have a conversation and I did not feel like I had to yell. Certainly a great place to experience new flavors and just and relax, unwind and enjoy. Overall just a great vibe.

What an awesome little spot in Orlando! This is one of my parents' favorite places to pop in and I can absolutely understand why. Great customer service, great selection of drinks, conveniently located - and so fun! There is plenty of seating indoors or out, depending on what you are looking for. It's also dog friendly which is a huge plus. Pick up your favorite lunch and bring it over and enjoy some nice drinks and good music! This is a really incredible bottle shop and truly a fantastic experience. Can't recommend enough!

We happen to end up over here after a beer festival near the area. Great location! Lots of space, would be a great location to bring a group of friends or a group of people. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and a huge collection of beers not only on tap, but also in the cooler and available for purchase. This particular day we opted for a couple of light beers, including the delirium, and I enjoyed the copper tail, Irish stout. Both were very good easy, drinking and just really enjoyed the entire vibe of the location. We ended up bringing home some more unique beers, including peanut butter and jelly flavored ones as well as a fruity mixed one. Looking forward to going back and checking out what else they have to offer. Bartenders are super knowledgeable and able to help everybody find something if they don't see one that is similar to they are used to drinking.

My husband and I really love this place. It's a great bar to go to when you're looking for more of a relaxed vibe. They always have new beers on rotation and the staff are always so friendly that they love making recommendations. It is dog friendly as well!

If you are looking for a place to try new beers with a great atmosphere, then GB's is for you! We love their rotating taps as well as the coolers that you can pick cans and drinks from. They have indoor and outdoor seating as well as they often have a food pop up vendor setup outside. The staff has always been helpful if you have any questions about the styles of beer or what beer you might like the most based on what you normally drink. Cheers to one of our favorite spots!

GB's is one of my favorite spots to catchup / play games with friends, grab after work beers and food (during one of the many nights they have awesome pop-ups), and pickup cans to bring home. Speaking of which you can order online for pickup, which is really nice. They source some incredible beers and regularly get some not normally distributed to this market. Another reason that keeps me going back is the friendly and knowledgeable staff / owners. Even when it gets busy they are attentive and make sure you get your drink and take time to help if you have questions. GB's has such a wide variety on draft (20 or so rotating) and cans that you can always find something whether picky or not or want to bring someone who is not a regular beer drinker. On the draft side you can get various pour sizes for most beers along with crowlers and growlers to go. As other reviews have mentioned, there is $2 fee for any cans you decide to drink in shop. I highly recommend and GB's will continue to be one of my go to spots. Cheers!

I used to love this place and still love the concept. When I am in town now, I'll swing by from time to time. Now why the 1-star: I've seen first hand and second hand specific bartenders overcharging customers to "hook-up" their friends. If you are going to lie and cheat the customer, the customer is going to stop coming. When those customers brought up the inconsistency in their tab, they were argued with. I get it, mistakes happen. But disrespect and argumentative behavior is inexcusable and uncalled for. Any questions from ownership\management, please DM me. I've tried to bring it up, but have not had the opportunity yet.

GBs is a cute little bottle shop in Ivanhoe Village that is great for a chill date night or a chill day hang with friends. There's plenty of seating inside and out and the beer selection is carefully curated for beer lovers of all kinds. Greg took care of us today and he was great! 10/10 recommend.

I had a great time at GB's. Very friendly staff. Great seating inside and out. Lots of beer options. The two downsides. (1) not much parking, and (2) prices are very steep for beer. A basic 12oz pour was $13? Yikes.

At the risk of sounding like I drink too much beer, GB's is like a home away from home. It's the perfect combo of cool and "locals only" to where you immediately feel comfortable. All of the bartenders are wonderful and are eager to talk about the selections they have at the time because they are switching things up often! The best thing to do since there are so many taps is get a few of the small pours so you can try more. Another really cool thing about this place is their selection of to-go beers and wines. Some are refrigerated to grab and pop open right there if you fancy (corkage fees do apply). There's a nice patio outside with picnic tables set up that is extremely pet friendly and they usually have some sort of food pop up in the evenings so you can make it a one stop shop for your night!

Great selection of beers. Always have new and different beers. Great atmosphere and clean.

Super cool place tucked out of the way with a wonderful beer and wine selection. They had some unique options for seltzers and beer that I had not seen before, but they also rotate the beers on tap with different local breweries. They made some recommendations and I had 2 or 3 beers that I really enjoyed that evening that matched my taste profile. I saw the bartenders talking with everyone in the bar to get refills, make recommendations, etc. It was great service and a chill vibe. They were also playing a fun old sci-fi movie on the TV that kept a lot of us entertained and made for some fun conversation.

What's no to like at GB's bottle shop? This is my third time to GB's bottle shop and I am never disappointed. First of all the place is pretty rad; a place where you get draft beer and buy bottled beer is pretty cool in my opinion. Another cool thing about GB's is that not only do they serve beer but they also have good selection of wines. I usually stick to Belgian beers but this time the bartender had me try an IPA and surprisingly, it was good. GB's is a great place to chill and hang out and I will def be back soon.

A friend recommended we make a stop here after a food truck event. Beer selection was immaculate. I was really craving a cider and was very much content with the variety and my overall selection. Atmosphere is lovely. Good vibes. I will most definitely be back!

My husband and I discovered GB's a few months ago and have quickly become regular customers! Always a relaxed vibe, plenty of craft beer & seltzers on tap to choose from. We love that both indoors & outdoors are dog friendly! I wanted to leave a review specifically for the Fourth of July. We stopped in around 2pm, and it was very busy, but the one bartender that was working was absolutely rocking it. Super friendly and helpful. He could have easily been overwhelmed, but we were all very impressed with how easy he made it look! We always have a great time here, and every staff member has been so nice. Thanks for being an awesome locals spot!

Love this taproom/bottle shop. Plenty of beers on tap, always rotating. And loads of canned beer that you can enjoy there or take to go. The patio is dog friendly and has lots of seating. Bartenders know their beer. Food truck food.

This was a simple, but cool concept. We visited for the first time and were impressed. They have plenty of outdoor seating and several tables inside, as well. The shop is a sister to Gnarly Barley (the GB in the title) which is opening their new location a few doors down to the West. They had 20-ish taps flowing and more bottles/cans than you could want. The tap setup is just like the Gnarly Barley (whiteboard with taps that come/go on a whim when they run out) so on a busy weekend night you could probably see 30 different beers if you were there for a bit. The only thing I don't like is the $2 *EACH* corkage fee on the cans/bottle. I get the concept, but that is steep for each one. The place was clean and the staff was super friendly. Big thumbs up for me.

Great tap and bottled beer selection as well as limited wines.You will always find what you are thirsting for. Outdoor and indoor seating and dog friendly. The servers , Sean, Harrison and Danny are always knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming- even to seniors‍

I have become a regular at GB, but before finding out about this place I'd been going to the hairdresser next door and never realized this little bottle shop existed! Every Sunday my partner and I meet up with our other couple friend to play Catan. The workers are some of the nicest and best service we have every time we come in they always recognize us! They have a bunch of games already there if you want to play with friends or family. They also have a huge projector that has played cartoons like Simpsons to sitcom shows! Inside they have a bunch of seating - 3 long tables, a couple of high tops, and bar seating. They also have seating outside and sometimes rotating pop up food places during random days of the week. For the drinks, I love GBs because they rotate their fridges every week so every time we go there is new drinks to try or they even have a bunch of beers on tap to choose from. The best part is if you like something that you tried in the cooler everything on the shelves you can purchase to take home. I love introducing people to this small little place. They are also dog friendly, so encouraged to bring your furry friends! This is truly a hidden gem in Orlando.

Love this place! It has such a cozy yet fun ambiance feel. There's an inside and an outside seating area. They have a variety of beers, ciders etc on tap rotating often and they're all amazing. Any time I've been there they have food trucks/stands in the outdoor area. The vendors are diverse so it's always a good time trying and supporting new businesses. Everyone is always extremely friendly when ordering and go above and beyond to make sure you're selecting a drink that you'll enjoy. Their merch is also awesome, super fun!

One of the best selections of beer on Virginia street! If you're looking for some fun and adventurous beers, GB is the place to go! They have something for everyone! Plenty of seating both inside and out. They often have a local food vendor outside around dinner time if you're craving food as well! All of the bartenders are incredibly kind and willing to give recommendations to help you find something you'll love!

Shame on me for not writing review for GB's sooner! This is one of my favorite beer spots! They have beer on tap, cold beer in the cooler available to go or to drink on premise and tons of non refrigerated beer to take to go! (They also have seltzers and wine if you are with someone that doesn't like beer.) Whether you are looking for a place to hang out or want to pick up something to-go, GB's is the spot! Make sure to follow their Instagram so you can see all the new beer that arrives and the food trucks/pop ups they have going on. If you like beer like me, you'll be pleased with their crafty selection!

We heard about this place from some friends who live up in Mount Dora and decided to meet up with them when we visited the area for a Social D/ Flogging Molly concert. Being from South Florida where the bottle shop scene is rather sparse, depending on where you live, seeing a spot like GB's is a fantastic sight for starved eyes when you're on the lookout for bottles of excellent craft beer you can't find in the larger chains, as well as taps from local Florida breweries. An offshoot of The Gnarly Barley, GB's is nestled in the quaint Ivanhoe Village area just north of Orlando's downtown district. Parking is normally available on the street with a couple of spots located on the lot, surrounded by overhanging trees that feel more North Carolina than the tropics. They have a lounge area as you enter to the left, with the retail shelves offering various bottles and cans to the right. As you walk to the back where the bar area is located with communal and counter seating, you can take a look into their fridges that offer more bottles and cans to bring home or have there to enjoy. At our initial visit, we were impressed with their tap list in addition to their groovy selection of bottles and cans. I ended up picking up cans of Almanac Barrel-Aged Strawberry Basil Sournova, Captain Lawrence Smoothie Dream, and Cerebral Brewing Chocolate Macraroon. I enjoyed beers by Florida Avenue, Oxbow, and Walking Tree at the bar. The beertender was really affable and friendly who served us as the four of us traded beers, drank beers, and... (wait for it) bought beers. GB's is a surefire place to go check out if you're a craft beer geek or someone looking for a good beer and chat with friends.

I have been going here for awhile and lately more than normal. I just visited on Thursday, May 17th with friends and had a great time. I have a gluten allergy and the bartenders are always happy to help me choose something safe. I was out with friends on Friday, May 18th and told them that we should go here before heading home bc it's a great spot. We all had a few drinks and closed our tab when they announced last call. A few people were finishing up when comments started being made at, and behind the bar. "Should we just tell them we're closed?" "(Laughing on the microphone)". It's 8 minutes past closed, there are MULTIPLE people still at the bar. The bartenders and guests were all staring in our direction making us uncomfortable. Yes we are getting ready to leave. Yes we brought all of our glasses to the bar from the table to help you be able to clean up quicker. Yes we are paying customers who already tipped you. Ok, so you want to hang out with only your friends on a Friday after you close. Don't make your loyal customers feel like trash and unwelcome. This was so unprofessional and uncalled for. I am only giving 2 stars instead of one because I have been here so many times before and never felt the way I was made to feel tonight.

I really and truly love this place. Whether I'm hanging out with friends or just want to relax by myself, GB is currently my favorite place to do that. I feel like I can be my true nerdy self when I'm here. Whether I'm in the mood to play a board game, or just watch re-runs of the office on their tv. Aside from that there's the beer, and it's darn good local beer. What I personally enjoy best is sampling a variety and I get to do that here with 5 oz usually starting at $2 (I know right?!?!) and they go up progressively 5 oz, 10 oz, and full pint. So it all depends on whether you're in a tasting mood, or if you find one you like and just do a pint of that, I love that you have options here to do that. There's also the beer shop itself so if you happen drink something on tap that you decide then and there that you absolutely cannot live without, they'll more than likely have a bottled version that you can buy and take home. Also, if you follow them on Instagram, they'll frequently post new drinks that'll be available on tap. It might be useful for you to also know that there's food trucks here sometimes, I've personally seen them Friday nights so you can either grab a bite to eat from the food trucks or bring it in from another nearby restaurant, they're cool with you bringing in food. Another reason to love GB is that pets are welcome here. Every single time I've come, there's always been dogs around. The overall vibe is just so relaxed and welcoming here, can't wait to go back again.

Nice place to stop by to hang out with friends and grab a drink. They have a large selection of cans/bottles, as well as beer on tap, and wine options too. They also have a small selection of non-alcoholic beers, which was great to see. We originally stopped by because a local pizza pop-up was here, but during our wait for the pizza, we really enjoyed the relaxed & friendly vibe here. We have shared this spot with friends and will be back! The staff are friendly, the inside is clean, the patio is great.

GB's has been my favorite place to grab a beer in Orlando for many years. Their rotating tap selection is second to none, the bartenders are friendly and more than happy to recommend some brews based on your taste, and they offer various sized pours of everything which makes getting a flight a breeze. They also have an extensive bottle and can selection, so it's a great place to pick up some to-go beer. If you like beer and haven't been to GB's, go there. Now.

GB's bottle shop is the perfect place to stop by for a beer! They have many options on tap and tons of cans as well. Inside seating is great and air conditioned and then there are lots of tables outside as well. Bartenders and service was great too. Can't wait to come back. Cheers!
