    I'll be in Orlando the end of May. Based on the reviews I need to go to Knightly Spirits, but when I visit their website I see that there are several stores. Any one the best for beer? Looking especially for Cigar City since that's the main brewery that I don't already have access to.

    The one on Orange Blossom Trail is above and away the best for great beer. For CCB you should also check out the 2 Total Wines in Orl and Big C Liquors if you're close enough.

    Is Jai Alai is to acquire in Orlando? I am going to be going there at the end of June also. What are the good beers I can get in Orlando? I will check out the place 7clutch recommended. Any bad ass bars you recommend? If i can get away, i'd love to get to one.

    I would recommend Tap&Grind or Redlight Redlight for beer bars. There are other good ones too, like Gnarly Barley and others. If you go to the stores 7clutch listed, you will be good to go on Jai Alai

    Yes for bars, although there are others in the area. And for stores, I was saying go to the ones that 7clutch posted about which were: Knightly Spirits, Total Wine, and Big C Liquors

    Damn, most of the stuff seems to be up in the Winter Park area. opposite side of town i will be on... of course. But it looks like I can easily get by Gnarly Barley, orange blossom Knightly Spirits, and Total Wine & More.

    Thanks guys.

    If you just want to get a Jai Alai to drink and you're stuck at Disney, Raglan Road Irish Pub at Downtown Disney usually has it in cans.

    The Knightly Spirits @ Summerport Village (in Windermere) would be closest to you.

    I'll take that, but I want a few 6 packs to bring back with me also.

    Sorry to thread hijack, but this seemed to be an appropriate one. Anyway, is the Knightly Spirits in Williamsburg (Orlando) any good? Will be at a hotel in the area next week and that appears to be the closest location. Would they have fresh Jai Alai? Is the Knightly on Orange Blossom worth the further drive?

    Thanks for any replies and input!

    i dont know if its worth the further drive, but i have been told several times that the OB is def better.

    Please, if anybody knows where to score Jai Alai in Orlando...a tip would be appreciated. Will be in town in two days! Thanks!

    Will send you some pseudoSue to anybody who gives me a legit source to score some.

    Knightly Spirits on Orange Blossum trail is BY FAR the best beer store we have in Orlando. There are crazy good imports there too. I don't believe the other knightly's even try to keep a great selection (although I'm sure they get jai alai if that's all you are looking for). Also, if you are out on international drive and just looking for jai alai, give Whole Foods a shot. Could save you a bunch of driving time. I would call ahead and ask too...every time I am at total wine they are always out of jai alai because of the shortage.

    What part of Orlando will you be in? That's important in deciding the best place for you. BM me, I can try and help you and maybe meet you with some stuff if you want. I also know a place or two you could try that might be great for you, if you're on the right side.
