Martini Bar on International Drive

The Best Bar on International Drive

International Drive is packed with places to get a drink. Hotel lobbies with limited menus, tourist bars blasting music, and chain restaurants pouring the same cocktails you can get anywhere. If you are looking for a real cocktail experience on I-Drive, the kind where your drink is made with care, the atmosphere feels elevated, and you can actually have a conversation, there is one place that stands apart.

Vincenzo Cucina Italiana sits inside Vue at 360 on International Drive, and the bar is one of the best-kept secrets on the strip. Craft martinis shaken or stirred to order with premium spirits. An Italian wine list that spans regions from Tuscany to Sicily. Classic cocktails built by bartenders who know the difference between a proper Negroni and a shortcut. And the entire experience is backed by a kitchen serving some of the best Italian food in Orlando, so you never have to choose between a great drink and a great meal.

Craft Martinis and Classic Cocktails

The martini menu at Vincenzo is built for people who appreciate the craft. Classic preparations are made with precision: the Dry Martini, Dirty Martini, Vodka Martini, and Gibson are all available exactly the way they should be. The Espresso Martini has become one of the most popular drinks in the restaurant, made with real espresso and premium vodka. House specialties rotate seasonally, and the bartenders are always ready to make something custom if you have a preference.

The cocktail program extends beyond martinis. Italian classics like the Negroni, made with gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth, are staples at the bar. The Aperol Spritz is light and refreshing for Florida evenings. American classics including the Old Fashioned and Manhattan are built with care and proper ingredients. There is no cutting corners behind this bar.

Steps from ICON Park and Epic Universe

Vincenzo is located at 8255 International Drive, Suite 112, inside Vue at 360. That puts the bar steps from ICON Park and minutes from Epic Universe and the Orange County Convention Center. After a day at the parks or after a conference session, this is the place to decompress with a real cocktail in an atmosphere that feels worlds away from the tourist corridor outside. Complimentary valet parking is included every evening, so you do not have to worry about finding a spot on I-Drive.

Drink and Dine at the Bar

One of the best parts about the bar at Vincenzo is that you can order the full menu from your seat. Start with a martini and an appetizer. Order the Lobster Ravioli ($44) or the Chicken Marsala ($27) right at the bar. Finish with an Espresso Martini and handmade dessert. Many of our regulars skip the dining room entirely and spend the whole evening at the bar, enjoying the atmosphere, the food, and the drinks without any of the formality. It is casual enough to come alone after work, and elevated enough for a date night or a celebration.
