Swirlery — Restaurant in Orlando

The Swirlery would have been one of our favorite places to patron, but after a night like tonight - we will only recommend to friends, family members, and colleagues to stay far far away.

My husband and I live a few blocks away from the Swirlery and learned how disrespectful the owners must be to blare techno music from their patio (to the point that our home was shaking) from 4pm - 10pm.

When my husband walked over to ask them to turn the music down, he was told that they’d pulled a permit to blast the music until 10pm, and that the police had already been called on them because of the noise level.

You’d think that after having the police called, and multiple complaints from neighbors, the owners would offer to lower the volume. But, the owners simply used their permit to defend their ridiculous notion that a “wine bar” should be accompanied by blaring techno music....

So, if you’d like to have a glass of wine accompanied by the ambiance of a cheap rave - then the Swirlery is the place for you! Just know that you’re supporting a business who’s owners blatantly disrespect all of the neighboring homes (including elderly couples who go to sleep - or TRY to - before 10pm). But don’t worry... THEY...

We stopped in to Swirlery after having dinner in the Hourglass District and couldn’t believe how welcoming the staff, and patrons sitting at the bar, were to two first-timers! I instantly felt like we belonged there and made fast friends with Melissa (the owner), Ryan, and Jackson. It ended up being a magical evening, when a prominent community leader stopped in and invited us to participate in a blind wine tasting of two bottles from his personal cellar. It was a night I’ll never forget. Although, we don’t live near Swirlery, we want to be “regulars” for sure and will not hesitate to use Lyft to get us there and back home. Thank you Melissa for making us feel so welcome and for offering such a great place for people to gather and share their love of WINE! Can’t wait to celebrate your upcoming 9YR Anniversary of opening SWIRLERLY!!! It’s the best place in town!!! P.S. We couldn’t leave empty-handed and purchased 10 bottles of “old world” wine, selected by Melissa and her team, to add to our wine...

It was my first time here and I love this little gem!! It's like their own, Aimee, says, "this place is like Cheers." I've seen them greet their regulars by name, pour their usual. Everyone that works there engaged with me (which is y I disagree with some reviews that said they were rude). Melissa, Mauricio, and Aimee were all great and lovely folks! They also have wine tasting classes on Tuesdays, and just learned of a book club on the last Wednesdays of a month (still learning more on that). Tonight they had a vegan good truck, Burgers and Booch (which is the food in the photo here), tomorrow they have a live band, and something on a Sunday. It was a lot for a newcomer, but also welcoming. I've made 4 acquaintances as someone recently relocated to FL. I will definitely revisit this place. They have a warm and welcoming atmosphere. I had 3 glasses of wine at 47$, a bit on the pricey side, but YOU GET WHAT YOU PAID FOR, bc it...
