Nightlife around Amway Center

With the opening of the Amway Center last fall, a bustling new nightlife district has extended from Church Street Station in downtown Orlando right up to the doors of the ultra-modern arena. The Amway Center has been credited for revitalizing the downtown business district, with restaurants and bars just a few steps away from the stadium, such as Hamburger Mary’s Bar & Grille, Kres Restaurant, Mojo Bar & Grill.

Starting this week, the hip new restaurant and bar district around Orlando's dazzling new Amway Center will get just a little hipper. Draft Global Beer Lounge & Grill, located directly across from the new Amway Center, is an all-new restaurant-bar-lounge specializing in craft beers. Draft Global Beer Lounge & Grill will open its doors to the public Thursday, March 31 on West Church Street.

For Orlando Magic fans who want to visit before or after a home game, or concert goers catching an event at the Amway Center, there are plenty of eateries ranging from casual sports bars to trendy restaurants. The Amway Center also offers its own wide selection on restaurants and bars—but only for customers with a ticket to the game or event.
