$4 beer. $7 wine. $10 cocktails.
The best way to unwind after a day at the OCCC.
Convention days are long. You’ve been on your feet since breakfast, shaking hands, sitting through panels, navigating 7 million square feet of exhibit space at the Orange County Convention Center. By 5 PM, you need a real drink and real food - not a hotel lobby bar with $18 cocktails and microwaved appetizers. Vincenzo Cucina Italiana is minutes north of the OCCC on International Drive, right at ICON Park. A full bar, Italian food made from scratch, and happy hour pricing that makes the evening feel like a reward. Walk in, sit down, and let the convention fade behind you.
The Orange County Convention Center sits on International Drive, and so does Vincenzo. Head north on I-Drive from the OCCC - no highway, no detour, no guessing. You’ll arrive at ICON Park where Vincenzo has been since 2014. Complimentary valet parking is waiting every evening, so you skip the lot and walk straight inside. For convention attendees staying at nearby hotels like the Rosen Centre, Hyatt Regency, Hilton Orlando, or the Marriott World Center, it’s an easy ride or a short Uber. Most guests are seated with a drink in hand within minutes of leaving the convention floor.
This is not a lobby bar or a chain restaurant pour. The bar at Vincenzo is a full spirit selection with craft cocktails made by hand - torched old-fashioneds, espresso martinis, Aperol Spritzes, hand-muddled mojitos, classic negronis. During happy hour, well cocktails are $10 and beer is $4. The wine list runs deep with reds, whites, and Italian imports by the glass for $7. Convention guests come in for one drink after a long day and stay for the atmosphere, the food, and the second round. There’s a reason 4,000+ people have reviewed this place.
Happy hour pricing from 5 PM to close. If your convention runs Monday, the entire evening is yours at happy hour prices. Five hours of specials - start at the bar, stay for dinner.
Every wine by the glass, half price, from open to close. Prosecco, moscato, rosé, chardonnay, pinot noir, cabernet, chianti. No limit. The perfect midweek reset during a multi-day convention. Learn more

Convention happy hours are better when the whole team comes along. The bar and dining room accommodate walk-in groups of any size. Grab a round of beer and a few plates of bruschetta and arancini for the table, or split a bottle of wine and order entrees. Groups larger than 15 can book the Amalfi Room for private dining with custom bar packages starting at $35 per person - ideal for client dinners, team celebrations, or hosted networking events during your convention week. Call ahead or walk in. Either way, you’re covered.
Most convention attendees walk in for happy hour and stay for dinner. The full menu runs from 5 to 10 PM - handmade pasta, fresh seafood, USDA Prime cuts, and desserts all made from scratch. Lobster ravioli in a creamy vodka sauce. Short rib pappardelle braised for hours. Chilean sea bass over risotto. A $13 kids menu for anyone who brought the family along. This is the meal that makes a convention trip to Orlando worth remembering. Not the conference food. Not the hotel restaurant. This.
