Average bar. Music is alright on the weekends. The staff provides mediocre service. If you visit on a weekday, be aware that you’re only encouraged to like top 40’s or obscure rap. Otherwise, the music you request will be skipped. You can, however, request your money back at the bar. If you do so, keep in mind you will be ridiculed for your taste in music and the staff will sarcastically and begrudgingly toss $ 1 — $ 2 dollars in your face as a refund for your inconvenience.

Really liked this bar– very laid back, good music, love the décor, went here on my first trip to downtown Orlando’s bar scene. Never saw the bottom of my glass, and we all ordered some shots that were amazing! Wish I had made it our last stop of the night or never left to go elsewhere this was definitely the highlight of the night.

Very cool! Since I went in July, they had the place decked out for Christmas in July. Christmas lights were everywhere, on the railing over the bars, hanging from the antlers on the walls. It was just a really cool environment. There is a bar upstairs and one downstairs, but no matter which one you go to, you’ll have a friendly bartender and a well made drink in hand. This is just an all around good bar to hang out with friends. Good music, fun décor, cool bartenders.

I’m not much of a bar person, but I feel comfortable enough to come here alone even, which is a shocker. Its well… like a lodge. small and comfortable. Cool patrons, tables out front to people watch or get fresh air, couches and booths to hang with friends and the BEST bar staff fast knowledgeable and friendly. I like that they have a few tv’s for entertainment but you don’t feel like your in a sports bar. A good selection of beer and spirits, I personally like the fact they have more can and bottle beer over draft. It can get packed and loud, but it adds to the energy.

The Lodge always seems to save the night! This is always the last stop of our bar hopping around downtown, but it really needs to be the first. Good music, decent beverage selection, and a fun crowd. You can’t really ask for much more. Depending on our mood, our group will either hang upstairs and people watch, or if the music is right, dance it up downstairs. The Lodge can get loud, but still caters to whatever kind of mood you are in.

Music alone is worth five stars, regardless of any other problems people have. Well worth the time, plus the drinks are cold and not over priced. For sure will recommend to most

A cool and quirky bar in the Orange Avenue scene. The log walls and stuff on the walls are really cozy. The Christmas lights on the ceiling are a cool touch. Service was great and the drinks were good and priced well. The music was enjoyable also. We like it

Amazing and friendly staff. We love to visit marybeth she is such a sweetheart. This is definitely a favorite weekly stop of ours. Fairly calm enviroment similair to a pub, not some crazy nightclub. I will continue to stop by! :D

Went here on a whim while checking out Orlando night life. The staff, patrons and music were all fun and made my evening pleasant but was also very impressed with the manager, I think his name was Mike, as he was all over the place making sure things were running smoothly and everyone was having fun. Great night with lots of good fun and people.

Nice enough place to hang out and have a few beers or cocktails when downtown. I do like the ski lodge atmosphere and would be even more likely to drop in around the holidays just for the décor.

I’ve never been here when it’s crowded, so perhaps I’ve been lucky(I haven’t tried to come here during«peak» hours). As a mostly-empty bar, it’s pretty nice. The decoration is pretty cool, the bartender was friendly, and the drinks were pretty strong. I doubt I’d be into it if it were packed, but when there’s 8 people in the whole place, it’s worth checking out. Oh, the bathrooms are bad. Like, horror movie bathrooms bad.

Love the Lodge. It has been my stomping ground for years. The crowd tends to be younger and semi-beligerent but it is def a good time. Come in and grab a PBR for $ 2 and enjoy the 80’s soundtrack. Make sure you go see Lucky up in the Crow’s Nest and leave him a nice tip… that’s my brother ;)

I like The Lodge because it reminds me of little bars I used to hangout in while living in a small town in Michigan. The atmosphere is great here. There are Christmas tree lights up around the bar, a fake fire place, animal heads on the walls, and an upstairs lounge area. They have a decent drink menu and the prices are reasonable. The crowd here is more relaxed than other places downtown. It isn’t huge inside and it does tend to get busy on the weekends. So keep that in mind if you plan on stopping in on a Saturday night.

Great place to come if you want a relaxed but still upbeat atmosphere. I don’t think I have ever paid cover here. Bartenders are attentive and drink prices are decent. Usually play good dance music, a lot of 80’s which I love. Generally a good crowd with happy people just having fun. I don’t normally stay the whole night– usually either start or finish here. Try the cinnamon toast crunch shot– it’s amazing!

I’ve only been to The Lodge once and it was pretty neat. I love the interior! It looks like a dive bar from the outside, but turns into a rustic lodge on the inside. There is an upstairs area with a separate bar that is a little too small, but the downstairs area has a nice sized dance floor and leather couches to enjoy. I wasn’t a huge fan of the crowd… lots of college guys doubling up on their Polo shirts and wearing sunglasses on the back of their heads, and lots of girls in too-short skirts and too-high heels. I feel like the environment would attract a more laid back crowd, but it doesn’t seem to(at least on the night that I went). Drinks were a bit expensive for my taste, but they seem to have a great selection. Overall, it is a unique atmosphere compared to some other bars Downtown.

Kind of a cool place. There is an upstairs and a downstairs. The upstairs is small but quaint. The downstairs was packed when I went. I just grabbed one drink. But enjoyed myself. Would go back to spend more time in the future.

Yes, a winter ski lodge setting in Orlando. I adore the festive light décor all year round. I usually stop in here for a drink or two, bust a move, do the photobooth and I am out. Love the vibe but never really make an entire evening out of it. Score that they have cider! I also once grabbed a six pack of cider here and headed to gringos, double score. The staff has always been nice. I wish the upstairs was a bit bigger but it makes for a relaxed, intimate(sometimes crazy) setting!

Eh. This place can only be described as awkward. I’m never really sure what to do with myself when I’m here. Do I sit… where? Do I dance… um no. Do I stand at the bar, crunched together with 1 million other people… gross, no. So it’s a good place to stop and get a drink(even with the 1 million people at the bar, they seem to have pretty quick service here), but other than that, it’s just kind of weird to see a huge room with a bunch of people just standing around like it’s an awkward high school dance that no one wants to dance at. Grab a few drinks and out yourself from this place before you get stuck in the monotony.

Very fun place to go with friends! The DJ played a wide range of top40 and older tunes. This is listed as a dive, and I can understand that to an extent, but its really a bit nicer than a dive IMO. It can get very crowded since its a bit on the smaller side. So get ready to wait for drinks and be bumped into sometimes. It reminds me of some of my favorite college bars, thats a great thing!
