Nightlife at Pointe Orlando

If you’re coming for a drink, there are a few main venues to look out for at Pointe Orlando. B.B King’s Blues Bar is a fun spot to hit up on weekends for their live bands (a cover charge of $5-10 normally applies). The Pub is a British-style boozer that mixes things up with American comfort food, while Blue Martini goes more traditional, with a sophisticated layout and impressive menu of cocktails.

The famous Improv Comedy Club promises a night of adult-only laughs. Since opening some 40 years ago, this club has been heralded as a launching pad for the careers of dozens of famous comedians, such as the late Robin Williams, Adam Sandler, Jerry Seinfeld, and Drew Carey.

Dining at Point Orlando

Most of the restaurants at Pointe Orlando open for lunch (around midday), and continue serving throughout the day until 9pm or 10pm. Considering the size of the place, the range of cuisine here is undeniably impressive. Look out for Copper Canyon Grill, Marlow’s Tavern or the Capital Grille for some casual, no-nonsense dining.

Head to the more upscale Itta Bena, a speakeasy-style fine-dining restaurant that focuses on refined Southern classics with a creative touch from the chef. More restaurants further diversifying the dining scene at Pointe Orlando are The Oceanaire (seafood), Taverna Opa (Greek) and Maggiano’s Little Italy (Italian).

Things to do at Pointe Orlando

Eating and drinking aren’t the only reasons Pointe Orlando is worth an afternoon or evening of your time. The onsite Regal Movie theaters has a range of standard screens as well as Central Florida’s largest IMAX Theatre. Another family-favorite attraction is WonderWorks, an indoor amusement park with over 100 exhibits, rides and games for the kids, all set in a building modeled to look like an upside-down house.

For shopping, it must be said that the range of stores here is easily dwarfed by the nearby outlet stores on International Drive, but you’ll find a few familiar designer names such as Tommy Hilfiger, Victoria’s Secret and Hollister.
