Happy Hours in Kissimmee

Kissimmee serves up one of the Orlando metro's most eclectic bar-hopping experiences, split across three distinct zones. The Highway 192 (Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway) corridor is the main tourist artery -- a 15-mile commercial strip running from US-27 east toward downtown, lined with strip-mall restaurants, chain sports bars like Miller's Ale House, and an increasingly impressive collection of authentic Latin American eateries reflecting the area's large Hispanic community. Old Town, the retro entertainment district right on 192, packs over 20 dining and bar concepts -- from Fat Tuesday's frozen cocktails to Bobby's Garage hot-rod bar and the Sun on the Beach nightclub. Then there is Historic Downtown Kissimmee, centered on Broadway Avenue near Dakin Street, which has quietly become a locals' favorite. Here you will find 1881 Restaurant & Bar inside the former Makinson Hardware building (once the oldest operating hardware store in Florida), Breeze Kissimmee with its eclectic decor and weekend DJ sets, and 3 Sisters Speakeasy serving sushi alongside craft cocktails. About ten minutes south, the Disney-designed community of Celebration offers a walkable lakefront with sidewalk dining at Columbia Restaurant and Celebration Town Tavern.
