Colonial Lanes
400 Primrose Drive, 407-894-0361
The no-frills bar snugged away inside Colonial Lanes has everything you want for a true old-school drinking experience: cheap beer, cheap drinks, friendly-but-take-no-shit bartenders, a fine selection of beer mirrors, enough TVs to keep your eye on the game but not so many that you feel like youre at Best Buy, karaoke, pool tables, darts, bartop gambling. Belly up to the sunken bar (so 70s!) to the distant crashes of the lanes outside, order up the cheapest grilled cheese in town, and lean back in your padded vinyl rolly chair while your fellow drinkers fret about baby-sitters, compare Tinder profiles and rate Biebers peen. About those rolly chairs, though: Be careful getting up out of them after youve had a few.
