Located in the heart of Disney Springs, The Edison is a stylish, industrial-themed American restaurant that blends 1920s speakeasy vibes with modern flair. Just a short ride from Orlando’s top concert venues, it’s a bold and energetic spot featuring an expansive menu of elevated comfort food, craft cocktails, and live entertainment in the evenings. Think steampunk décor, vintage lighting, and an atmosphere that’s equal parts edgy and fun.

Why Concert-goers love it

The Edison is a magnet for music lovers thanks to its central location, just minutes from area arenas and music halls.
