Sparrow Wine Bar

Orlando, Florida

Sparrow is an intimate, 21-and-over wine bar and lounge on North Orange Avenue in downtown Orlando's North Quarter, pouring curated wines alongside elevated cocktails. A house Sparrow Martini sits on the drinks list next to the Sicilian Sunset of house Narancello, amaretto and bubbles. The kitchen, run by chef partner Wendy Lopez, sends out Southern European small plates made for sharing. Each evening opens with an aperitivo hour of tapas and cocktails, Thursdays bring vinyl nights, and once a month the room hosts a ticketed Saturday afternoon tea. Leather lounge chairs and dark decor set the mood for dates and catching up.
