At Rosen Shingle Creek, we’re conveniently located near International Drive’s diverse entertainment, including its vibrant happy hour scene. From eclectic restaurants, bars to lively pubs, there’s a drink deal suited to every taste.
If you’re looking for the perfect place to enjoy some post-adventure or after-work drinks, we’ve curated a list of International Drive premier happy hour hotspots that’re just moments away from our hotel.
Come unwind as you enjoy local brews while on your Orlando vacation.
Cheers to Convenience at Rosen Shingle Creek
Before venturing down the road to International Drive’s premier happy hour hotspots, take an even shorter trip downstairs to our welcoming, on-property bars and lounges serving up tasty and convenient bites and brews.
Headwaters Lounge at Rosen Shingle Creek serves signature cocktails, specialty drinks, and ice-cold beers alongside delicious meals and pub fare for you to enjoy as you mingle or immerse yourself in its hotel lounge atmosphere.
But the options don’t stop there!
Grab a gourmet burger or flat bread alongside an ice-cold craft beer or bourbon at Tobias Burgers & Brews. If you prefer a more Latin affair, savor authentic Mexican flavors and handcrafted margaritas at Mi Casa Tequila Taqueria.
Does the idea of clocking off and sitting poolside with a drink in hand sound like utter perfection? Gaze at the afternoon sky while sipping on a fruity frozen cocktail (or on the rocks) from Cat-Tails Pool Bar & Grille. Complement your drink with a fresh appetizer, salad, sandwich, or entrée.
For a more upscale experience, unwind at the chic bars located within Cala Bella and A Land Remembered restaurants. No matter your preference, you’re sure to find the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a drink (or two) at Rosen Shingle Creek.
Café Tu Tu Tango
What’s better than great prices on delicious drinks? Equally great prices on tasty food for your happy hour haul.
