Barbarella Orlando — Restaurant in Winter Park

I am under 21 and don’t go here to drink but rather to have a good time. I have been a few times and I leave upset or disgusted every time. Even when they first open their doors this place is sticky. Bathrooms are always absolutely DISGUSTING. It is almost packed like a can of sardines, (you will get drinks spilled on you and sweaty bodies rubbed all over you) scary to be here because you literally can’t move due to the sheer amount of nasty drunk people (the kinda place someone could easily be drugged, trampled, or taken and I doubt the employees would notice) security doesn’t have much of a strong appearance anywhere, however the time that I was the most upset with this place was when a security guard walked into the women’s restroom to watch me wash my hands and told me to leave because my X’s partially came off. I didn’t leave but rather just went and got them reapplied (just to catch an attitude from the guy doing the X’s). My biggest problem with this place is not that it is dirty or overcrowded (trust me it really is) but, because i’ve come here knowing that, My problem is with the friendliness of the employees, i have never been treated like a person when visiting this bar. Every employee acts like they hate their jobs and that every person here is an idiot. I don’t appreciate giving my money to a business that does not even appreciate their customers. Rant over, this place is unenjoyable if you are not wasted, and if you are wasted it is not safe. I see no win with this business and after my most recent trip will not be giving them anymore of...

I’ve always had a decent time here up until the last time. I was in line and then it was time for me to show my ID to the bouncer. I showed it to him and he stared at it and then asked me my sign- I told him then he looked at me weird like he didn’t believe me. I told him that he can quiz me and i can show him other forms of ID too if he needed. He just looked at it for about a another minute and then other people walked by and he extended my ID back out to me. I took it back because I was under the impression that he was handing it back me. Then he proceeded to yell at me and told me I couldn’t come into the bar. I was very polite but also confused and asked him what I did wrong- the bouncer just kept yelling aggressively at me and shouted repeated “you cannot come into this bar” I was being accommodating and putting my ID back into my wallet but then he used his chest and pushed me back. I was completely confused by the whole situation and I truly don’t understand why I was treated like this. I understand the thoroughness that’s required when checking to make sure no one underage enters the bar, but I’ve never experienced anything like this. I do look young, but I will generally have people ask me for more forms of ID (hence the reason why I offered it). I won’t be coming her again due to this bouncer. There are many other clubs/bars that do a great job of being pleasant while also ensuring they are following the law and this one is not...

Not the old Barbarella, but better than being downtown.!!! The music and the crowd has been way better now that their not getting the typical downtown crowd, much more intimate and selective.!!! Parking is free now, so that's a huge plus.!!! The one downside is the lack of an alcohol bar (no bar licence yet) all they can currently serve is pre-canned cocktails which seriously lack the "flavors" of a real mixed drink. The New Barbarella is located in the rear right quarter of an indoor pickleball court and training center in a warehouse. They really need to open up more space for the club though (thousands of square feet left empty and unused inside), the amount of people that have been showing up are more than the space can handle currently, the dancefloor definitely needs/can be larger with the space available in the center, and seating/standing space is seriously lacking with people taking chairs from the sides and putting them on the edge of the dancefloor, and a lot of people end up outside by the loading doors... Other than that, loving the vibe of the old-school Goth crowd and music, including the local respect of the patrons without the stupidity of the...
