Located on the piazza of Universal Orlando’s Portofino Bay Hotel, the Thirsty Fish offers one of the most breathtaking views in town. If you’re staying at the hotel, it’s the perfect place for a quick beer, a cigar and some refuge from all the loud, annoying tourists. It’s also a great change of scenery for locals who are tired of the crowded, smoky bars of downtown. The Mediterranean setting is elegant, but not pretentious, offering a full liquor bar and a wide selection of sophisticated beer and wine. This is the perfect place for a first date.
