Mathers Social Gathering

"Boutique spirits, seasonal ingredients, cordials, bitters, and syrups are all requirements in modern-day cocktail making, but what Mathers Social Gathering brings to Orlando (apart from another speakeasy) is a level of big-city sophistication. It’s like the city’s very own Soho House, sans the high fees, but with all the style. The spacious bar is housed on the third floor of an 1884 building replete with vintage furnishings, antique accents, soaring bookshelves, and cozy brick-lined nooks. While drinks have that old-timey flair, their pricing reflects a current age. Dress dapper." - Faiyaz Kara

"If your wealthy but eccentric uncle had an antique store and a speakeasy in his 100-year-old mansion, it might look a bit like Mathers Social Gathering. Bartenders in suspenders whip up creative cocktails, sometimes there are sashaying burlesque dancers, and everybody is passing around plates of brie and manchego or pepperoni flatbread. This is the place for a snack and nicer cocktail, like gin with lavender and honey served in a mini bathtub or a smoking oak decanter of bourbon with whiskey barrel bitters and green apple. They even have a general store in the corner of the room for the essentials, like candy cigarettes and absinthe." - cheryl rodewig, gabe bergado, ryan pfeffer, macy johnson
