The Spotlight on Wine Bar George - A Restaurant & Bar

World-Class Wine and Laid-back Vibes in the Heart of Disney Springs

Set in the lively Disney Springs area of Orlando, Wine Bar George – A Restaurant & Bar blends the charm of a rustic wine cellar with the energy of a bustling social hub. Helmed by Master Sommelier George Miliotes, it brings an elevated yet approachable take on American cuisine and offers a curated list of over 140 wines by the glass, bottle, and ounce. Whether you're settling in at a communal table or enjoying the breezy patio, the warm, knowledgeable staff and stylish ambience make it feel special—without being stuffy.

Why Concert-goers love it

Located just a short drive from major Orlando concert venues, Wine Bar George is a favorite for pre-show dining thanks to its quick yet attentive service. Guests love the relaxed atmosphere that buzzes without being too loud, making it ideal for a pre-concert catch-up or even a solo glass of wine before heading out. The menu features shareable plates and hearty entrées, so it's easy to fuel up without feeling rushed. Bonus: it opens early and stays open late, offering plenty of flexibility around show times.

Who this Restaurant is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to share small plates and toast with wine flights
  • Solo travelers wanting a welcoming bar seat and a great pour
  • Couples on a romantic night out before a show
  • Fans seeking a lively but refined pre-concert scene
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want quality dining with shareable options

What People Say

Reviewers rave about the extensive wine list and the staff’s deep knowledge of pairings. The food gets high marks too—dishes like the crispy mac & cheese bites and skirt steak with chimichurri are consistent favorites. The upstairs patio with lake views is often mentioned as a hidden gem, and many say the ambiance strikes the perfect balance between sophistication and fun.

Areas for Improvement

It can get busy during peak hours, especially on weekends, so reservations are highly recommended. A few guests noted that the wine pricing can lean toward the higher side, though most feel the quality justifies the cost. If you're in a rush, let your server know—some larger dishes take a bit longer to arrive.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers in Orlando looking to sip, savor, and socialize before the show, Wine Bar George offers an unbeatable mix of flavor, atmosphere, and convenience.
