    Out of towners from Cincinnati, oh - stumbling around and we found this place. Great drink selection, laid back, just what we needed. My gf and I , being in the restaurant industry , both agreed that we would work here if we lived in Orlando.

    Good drinks on the first floor. Hanson's is upstairs. Had a couple drinks & they were good. Would stop by here again.

    There is a certain charm and class to this place. The ground floor has an exposed brick facade, and gin and tonic on tap. They had me right there! It's intimate and the ambiance is a bit gloomy, but in a tasteful way. They have an okay selection of beers, and can make good cocktails. The mystery is in the upstairs where, as one climbs up while taking in the pretty amazeballs art work, one is presented with a simple white door with the word PRIVATE written across it. A long-haired gentleman will politely stop you from entering in if you don't know the password. The password is always "1234". And the door will always remain shut. But once you get in, you are transported into another New York style loft + London style studio apartment. Incandescent bulbs hang from the ceiling as mustachioed barmen in suspenders scurry behind the bar, pulling liquors and spirits out from an array of bottles. They had the Fidencio mezcal (try it), one of my favorites, and I got to sip on that while I chatted with my friends. There is a small outdoor patio ensconced between the bar and the toilet which can make for a quiet getaway if one chooses. This is a brilliant place, and well executed.

    I can only speak to this bar because I walked through it to get to a second bar, so for information on drinks and service, you will have to read other reviews in addition to this one. The venue is small, but long (if that makes sense). There is one bar on the first floor and barely any walking room around it if there are more than 15 people in the area. After you get your drink, and walk further into the place, there is much more room to stand or walk. There is also furniture randomly placed on the first and second floor for sitting, so I imagine that after you grab a drink, this place has the potential to result in a nice relaxing evening.

    Wow, this place has gone down hill quick. What used to be a cool little cozy place serving up some wicked craft cocktails is now a strictly well drink hole in the wall serving watered down, over priced drinks. Very limited selection of liquor.. in fact nothing more than run of the mill.. and weak, weak, weak. The bartender even tried to give us the excuse that their "Cranberry was just really dark, promise.." BS.. that just means that my vodka/soda/splash of cran was a soda/cran with a splash of vodka.. for $8. Please. Avoid.

    Went to check out the Speak easy bar upstairs on the recommendation of a server at a restaurant we had dinner at earlier, the Speakeasy is a very cute concept, we had to first call and leave a voicemail stating how many were in our party by saying how many shoes we were dropping off to get fixed, once the message was sent someone replied back and gave us the password to get it. The Speakeasy is a Prohibition themed bar with specialty craft cocktails. NV Art bar was hard to find, its a skinny bar so it's easy to miss, well we finally found it, walked through the front door through the NV Art Bar which had some very original art work for sale adorning the walls. Well, we walked up the wooden staircase to a somewhat dark thin corridor up to a door with a doorbell, we rang and waited a few minutes for someone to come to the door, we provided the password and were let is. Inside it's dimly lit with candles, a long skinny bar inside and a small outdoor area with a few benches, tables and chairs, the ambiance was original and very cool. We were informed that it would take about 10 minutes before they could take our drink order, we were provided a drink menu and we went outside to wait for further instructions. Well, seating at a bar with no drink is no fun, so as were coming up to 20 minutes we were finally asked to go to the bar to order our drinks. Being that we were a party of 7 our drinks took a while to prepare, so now we are close to 40 mins waiting for 1 drink. I can't remember what my drink was called, but it reminded me of a Pisco Sour, it was frothy and very good, the others in my party were also happy with the taste of their drinks, however the servings were very small, extremely small, especially for the amount of time we waited plus being $12 each, we found it ridiculous. Service was friendly, and they played the part of mixologists very seriously, however we couldn't get past the serving size, wait and price. Then, to top it all off, once we took our drinks back outside to the small outdoor patio the leg of the coffee table we were using caved in and the table fell completely spilling some of our drinks, the other small table to my side seemed just as unstable and I am sure it was ready to break as well. We didn't want to stick around for much longer after that. Again, cute concept, but they need better execution, stable furniture and some larger glasses.

    NV is a nice little art bar off the main downtown drunken path. Tons of art on the walls and great staff to serve you. Also this bar does a great $15 for $40 deal through groupon, yelp, travelzoo, or livingsocial. Check them all because deals are always changing! Go NV

  • Jullie C.

    3.5! This place doesn't have the best drinks, but they are cheap and the service is fast. The place is very small and intimate. Good for groups but maybe not for a date. I usually get basic drinks like tequila sunrise or amaretto sour. You get a good bang for your buck. The decor is also pretty nice.

  • Marti R.

    I've been looking forward to checking out the new changes. With the Hansons crew making magic at NV, I can see it really becoming a "must go" spot. Love the minor changes to the decor and when I saw that they had my favorite beer, Left Hand Milk Stout, I know they had a winner. I've always liked NV but last night, I experience a whole new version of it. Good job, guys. Keep it up.

  • Derek A.

    On an impromptu Thursday night out, We hadn't managed to get the password for Hansons but decided we should head into NV Art Bar anyway due to the positive reviews. It definitely is a really cool spot with great decor, a real nice ambience, interesting and somewhat quirky artwork on display/sale and a good selection of drinks, which were also well made. It was fairly quiet. We sat at the bar, relaxed and perfectly comfortable chatting to the friendly staff about everything from movies to mixed drinks to craft beers to UK Soccer players and Scottish weather! Would have been happy to stay here, but as if by miracle we came into possession of that evenings password for upstairs...but thats for another review. I couldn't recommend NV highly enough and will definitely return on our next visit. Thanks Guys/Girls!

  • Alyx K.

    So glad they are back open! My favorite 'lounge' space downtown, by far. Beer, wine, comfortable couches/seating areas (grabbing the booth upstairs w/ a couple of friends and a bottle is the best), regularly changing art and an eclectic mix of music (seems like it could be something different every time I go... jazz, indie, even goth/80s). A good place to start or end the night. As a suggestion, it'd be nice if they brought the hookahs back :)

  • Berthina M.

    Love it...Love it Love it....my first time going to Hanson's shoe shop...I like the dim lighting that NV has and the walk to Hanson's shoe shop is great...it adds mystery to the password only entrance. The guy at the entrance of Hanson's is this really big yet cool guy...He asks for the password (seriously) then opens the door with a smile....I felt so official...We were greeting by a server at the top of the stairs. The only thing about that was I didnt know she worked there...I thought she was some random girl just being friendly until she gave us a menu....Ok the menu...I had absolutely no clue what these liquors were so I looked for words I knew like...Gin, rum...you know your normal drinks....So I picked a rum based drink...The bartender Rene' is awesome...(so are the others). Rene' gave great detail in what he was making for me. I enjoyed the fact that he put in so much effort...I felt as though he was making an elixir....which was outstanding. Drink prices are around $12 for one drink which is a little pricey but you get a great concoction and what can i say the venue is great....I loved the huge ice cubes....(silly, right!). If this place had food I wouldnt have left but since my drink was strong yet smooth I had to find something to eat.....I loved the drinks and atomosphere so much I returned the next day....OH...and get there by at least 830p if you want to get in without a wait....

    This place has just about hit rock bottom. No wine anymore, hardly anywhere to sit and they even took away the cool seating upstairs when they "redecorated". They card everyone at the door, even if you are obviously over 21 too (come on can't we use some common sense).It used to be so cute and cozy. Now its just sort of functional. Well at least they still have the art. I seriously doubt I will come back again. So sad.

    I ended up here for a birthday party, and one shocking thing about this place is their hours. The party started at 10 (an hour on the clock I typically only see in the a.m. side), so my husband and I decided to meet up with some friends ahead of time. We arrived around 8 to find that they don't even OPEN until 9 p.m. on Saturdays. Craziness! Ok, so once we arrived it was a cute little chill bar with only slightly overpriced drinks. I'm a craft beer person, so I was satisfied with their very small selection of good beers and ordered a Victory Golden Monkey. The upstairs is cute and a cool place for a birthday party. Maybe I'd come here again if someone else planned it, but I wouldn't head here on my own.

    Would give this zero, but since I have to at least register on the star scale, they receive the minimum. In town from Denver, have visited some of the best speakeasies in the country and was very excited for NV. Upon arrival the doorman was unbelievably rude, saying we required a password (in this instance, I understand, I've been in situations like this before, however) when I asked if they were fully booked, the doorman proceeded to say no, there were many seats available, but we still needed a password. When we were leaving, we expressed our disappointment to the bartender downstairs, who proceeded to say, we could get in if we tipped the doorman $20! I was willing to spend hard-earned money, I was willing to deal with less-than-stellar service, but I was not expecting to encounter this type of condescending behavior. I will never spend money at NV, and will deter anyone I know in the Orlando area from their arrogant establishment.

    Swanky and Chill, this place impressed me with the vibe. A very narrow bar with a dope upstairs seating area with velvet couches and chairs. The place smells amazing when you walk in, it's somewhat musky yet calming. It is very dark and you immediately go into relax mode so it's a perfect place to chill. They have beer and wine only and informed us that they will be getting alcohol in the coming months. They have cider so I am a happy pup! We only stopped in for about 15 minutes early in the night so I know I will be back many times to get the all around story of this place =)

  • Chelsea W.

    The only reason I went to NV honestly was just to hang out waiting for Hansons to open. The bar was not my kind of scene...dark, loud music, and odd abstract art all over the walls. Maybe I'm just one of those closed minded people but I don't really "get" art so it just seemed like random weird pictures on the walls. Our bartender/waitress was nice enough I guess and our drinks came quickly but there were only 3 or 4 other people there at the time so it's not like there was much going on. The awkward part was when our waitress started openly feeling up the bartender...soooooo awkward. I get its a bar not a professional office but have some decency and respect for your patrons! Probably not going to stop here again except in passing getting Into Hansons.

    I'm visiting Orlando for a beauty convention that I'm working and did a bit of research of yelp for a non-traditional party vibe kind of place. We are not tourists and wanted to do what the locals do...it has been hard to find authentic places. I've done all the research possible! Orlando is full of bars playing top 40 songs and I was looking for something a bit more authentic and was hoping for some creative vibes. Art in this location was cool but it mainly seemed to be by the same artist. It was very small but the bartender was friendly. My problems with this place is while my boyfriend and I were enjoying our drinks an announcement from Pandora comes over the speaker letting the entire bar know that pandora was being played from two devices and would either need to be disconnected from one or a new account would need to be made. Party foul lol. But that's how I felt about this bar, they don't quite have it sorted out. If you're looking for a true creative vibe and good music, not Rihanna and Bruno Mars hits try Courtesy up the street. Great mixed cocktails, creative people and good music. Love the ambience and the decor.

    Went to NV waiting to get into the speakeasy upstairs. We had reservations at the speakeasy, yet they made us wait an hour, and we still didn't go in. So we had a long time to get to know Alex the bar manager at NV. He was fun, social, knew his drinks, and made my wife smile.

  • Kim W.

    Honestly, I probably never would have come here if it wasn't for the Yelp Drinks week specials they were offering. Since they only offer wine and beer, I decided to try the house red, which I was told is a shiraz. It was not bad at all for a house wine. As many have noted, it's pretty small and has a very relaxed vibe. That night they were displaying pictures of works by Banksy, which definitely gave them a few cool points in my book. As for the rest of the decor it was a little kitschy, but in a good way. I don't regret stopping in and checking the place out, but I probably wouldn't come back.

  • Julianne E.

    We started out here on Friday night. It was a cozy little place, definitely a good place to come and just hang. They do only service beer (domestic and imports) and wine. There is art work all around and the place itself is just unique. I did find out that they change the art work every third Thursday of the month. I like change, so this is my kind of place. :-)

    Came up to this place right after a wonderful dinner out on the town with gorgeous Carla L. who looked ravishing! Wanting to still enjoy more of her company, we decided to walk in to this place simply because it looked quite inviting and not like the other velvet rope stuff around the area. Very nice ambiance, the crowd was very nice, more akin to an upscalish bar- a very good selection o beer, nice bar staff good music and the best company in the world. Needless to say, the night was a total hit !!!

  • Mark C.

    Went on a Friday night with a group of friends. My first impression was this is a cozy n' chic venue! Very inviting, and the old wood ceiling and reclaimed penny-brick walls hung with local art, really drew me in further up into their multi-level spaces. This place is a very unique feast visually and so interesting, you'll find yourself just gazing around feeding your head at no charge. I particularly coveted this one softly lit light fixture suspended by a sculpture of a forearm and the fixture chain grasped in a fist. Sorry that is just way cool stuff! Love Douglas's appreciation for his down towns' building's history too which is a truly cool and unique one at that. Be certain to ask him about it, and watch him "light up" with the story. The drink of the night for me was Crown on rocks ($8) and went well with their not too eclectic genre of music. Would have loved to cop an I Pod download of the evening's music really. Nice: not too rocky- not too nuts-ey new stuff - and not too lively or sleepy mix of tunes = not too demanding on the ear. PERFECT! (Great job guys - that is hard to do with this reviewer!) The roof space was just opened up and we're told is not a completed work. Now this area, on a cool evening like we had, is the SPOT. Some of the adjacent high rise buildings have some Christmas lights on their balconies twinkling along with - - well I'm a genuine sucker for full moons. (Never plan a vacation without one! Our Travel agent even asked once if...) I'm so impressed NV ordered that one up too and actually pulled it off! Wow, what potential this semi private (if you consider any really bored high rise on lookers) space has to offer when they complete their plans for it! You just have to go see for yourself! Again, their enjoyable mix of music follows you up there too. For certain though this space is only available to the agile- moe-bile. Steep and narrow stairs just adds to the private feel of where you are headed -we should have stayed there longer! NV is a non-imposing venue you can count on to pull off your impromptu "get together" without getting in your way. Parking will be a challenge but hell- YOU'RE DOWN TOWN- so enjoy the walk and count your blessings passing all the homeless hang-outs. Okay- Confessions- it has been YEARS since I have walked the downtown streets at night. (Did I capitalize YEARS? good. Decades would not be a stretch actually) Sad to see Downtown so populated with the homeless element - but I'm also Sooooooo grateful for my GOOD LUCK, (feels like) SOLID EMPLOYMENT, HARD WORK ETHIC and the ABILITY to keep it all intact. See ya again Douglas!

    This is a quaint little spot with massive sex appeal. We were intrigued from the moment we walked in. The bartenders are super cool and very welcoming. They get a nice sized trendy crowd and have excellent drink specials weekdays before 10pm (half off specialty cocktails). There is no cover. Get there early, they only have a capacity for 80. Their sister locations are Vixen and a restaurant called The Fifth which I am defined going to check out at some point. Also, try the firefight shot it's very interesting.

  • Greg S.

    Ok, aside from just being a place to check out for an art venue, and a place to drink, I'm totally hooked on how this place is constructed on the inside. Twisty hallways, and nooks, etc, love it. Its like how buildings used to be created prior to everything being open and loft-like. I know its a sad standpoint to make this the biggest "whoa" thing in the review, but hey. The art is great here as well, and the drinks were decently priced. I went here on one of the third Thursday art walks downtown, and really want to go back to spend more time. I have heard the deal about getting the password to get through a locked door on the.....2nd floor? Haven't done that yet but is on my to-do list. Great great space to check out!

    I'd love to see how this place fares on a weekend evening when all of the other bars in the area are packed with people. Is it the same at NV, or does it maintain a relatively low density due to the small size? I hope it's the latter. I go downtown to relax and be old, not to be packed in a place like sardines and be forced to stand while yelling at the friends that can't hear me even though I'm so close to them that if we were naked it would become a whole different kind of friendship. Luckily, it does seem to be the sort of place that the Church St. crowd might pass by, so I'm interested in coming back. The rotating art selection is definitely a draw, as is the old brick architecture, generally good music, and relaxing-looking group seating on the second floor. The rooftop area is fantastic albeit small, but unfortunately it sounded like this portion of the bar is very rarely open. I hope this changes at some point. Overall, it's definitely a place I could become a regular at.

    Love this bar. We ducked into this place during the Yelp Street Soiree and much to our surprise they were having free Yuenglings for the duration of the party.(me like) We stayed there the entire time, except to dash out and grab some food and free stuff. Angel and Phongsy were our bartenders/servers and they were simply fantastic. Will definitely go back here.

    The NV has now taken on new management and added a full bar to go along with evrything else they offer. I like this bar, it is small and intimate and a great place to hang out.

  • Jay M.

    I had lipstick on my wine glass. When asked for another glass the bartender just wiped my glass with the bar towel and said, here you go. So now I had smeared lipstick on my glass, and who knows what else after she used the nasty wet bar towel to wipe the rim of my glass. I just out my drink on the bar and walked out. I guess they don't wash their glasses here. So disgusting

  • Marc G.

    What an absolutely cute & cozy bar!! Wouldn't have known it was here except for the fact that Yelp Summertime Street Soiree was going on. Even then I probably wouldn't have noticed it except for the pouring down rain. And I'm so glad it did rain, because this place is a great find & we had such a wonderful time. We were lucky enough to get the little banquette downstairs and chatted with a bunch of people coming in out the rain. The staff was so friendly and accommodating! The place was clean, clean, clean - even the bathrooms!!! If I lived downtown, I would surely be visiting this place more often, but with that said, I surely will be back!!

  • Weston T.

    After spending the afternoon in downtown watching a friends band play, we decided to walk around to see what bars were popular. This bar has it all, the inside looks as if you were inside a mine shaft! The staff is very friendly, and their drinks are great ( a little on the pricey side, but if you get there before 11 there specialties are half off) the 2nd floor is a small dance area with some couches, and the 3rd floor is a speak easy that you must call ahead for. Side note: make sure you are wearing the appropriate attire, as one couple could not get into the speakeasy because they were not dressed "correctly". This place is a hit though! Always booming, and very laid back atmosphere

  • Lynda F.

    Downtown usually isn't on our list of places to go on a Friday night but NV lounge will definitely allow us to rethink that decision. The first impression was the ambiance. NV gives off a warm and inviting vibe. The bar staff were very friendly and made a great martini. The music wasn't too loud so you could actually carry on a conversation with your party. The local art on the wall gives everyone something to comment on. My most favorite part of NV is the roof top! That would be a primo spot for me to hang with my friends enjoying some cocktails and laughing together through the evening. Can't wait to go back!

  • Chelsea B.

    i'll write an updated more thorough review when i return, but i just wanted to quickly give this place 4 stars. my bf and i stopped in here briefly during yesterday's torrential downpour. we were actually attending the yelp summertime street soiree, which was my first ever yelp event (and it was totally fun, even with the sporadic showers). but i instantly loved the atmosphere of this place. we headed upstairs and i immediately noticed the awesome door. i love fancy doors! especially if they lead to secret rooms? does anyone know if it leads to anywhere?

  • Carla L.

    It was the perfect evening with an ending at the perfect place. NV is a great place to hang out, have a drink and enjoy. The fact that it has more than one story is great, you get different vibes in different rooms, great staff and we found the selection of wine perfect as I love a good red. Sexy and dark this place is great for those looking to get away from the "thump thump thump" of the other bars.

  • Charles L.

    When I sit in this bar I relax (and that's not something I really do much haha). I don't feel like I am in Orlando while in this bar. This place has a taste and class (hard to find in Orlando bars). It's an Art Gallery turned bar and my only suggestion to them is to do what it takes to buy a liquor license. I will still go because it's an amazing place. However, beer and wine only will not keep the doors open. In one word I would call this place cool! Tip: If you sit by the door on the weekend and drink you can watch all the crazy drunk people walk by. Do some Saki bombs while you are at it!

  • Elizabeth F.

    This place is wonderful. There are 3 stories, including a roof top! The atmosphere is so chill and sexy, I just love it. Beautiful art work & mirrors line the walls, comfortable couches mark the floors - it's just so comfortable. Great place for go for a few drinks, to relax, or just have a conversation with someone. Our bartenders were great. Very attentive and friendly. Definitely looking forward to going back here and possibly having a party on the rooftop :)

  • Jacqueline C.

    My kind of place. The atmosphere is really suited for an end-of-night chill. I stopped in with some friends very early in our night out. We were the only ones there and they were only serving beer and wine, which was not what we were looking for at the time, so we didn't stay long. But I definitely think it's worth checking out. Especially if you are in the mood to "go downtown" but not in the mood to "go downtown." You know what I mean? There's no bouncer at the door telling you about deals, the female bartenders wear clothes, and the place doesn't smell like beer, frat boys, and body splash. In fact, it smells really nice. ha. And I think they even have hookah. Sweet. Go see for yourself. If you made it this far in the review, you'll probably like it.

  • Annette G.

    Super freaking cool new bar in Orlando. On my favorite street for bars (Pine), it's dark and funky, lots of cool lighting and some fun art on the walls. It's multi-level, and if you're up for it, you can work your way through a series of narrow staircases to an outdoor terrace. Definitely not ideal if you're pretty lit and wearing heels... but seriously worth trying. They have a good selection of beers, some uncommon ones (double chocolate stout) and those you'd expect (bud, pbr). The wine selection was pretty nice as well. Dunno if it was the exposed brick, narrow walkways, dark lighting or the blaring Morrissey, but it definitely reminded me of Go Lounge... and that's a very good thing. New favorite bar!

  • Joe I.

    This place is small and crowded, and can be a little loud at times. However, it has personality, flavor and is much more comfortable and inviting than some other bars and clubs. I've been there twice, and I would say if your group can stake a claim to the couch area on the second floor, you'll have a much more relaxed, intimate atmosphere to share a few drinks together.
