The BANDBOX is an escape to a 1920s Art Deco-inspired speakeasy where you can dodge the Buttons and skip the Hooch with a robust menu of non-alcoholic craft cocktails, beer & wine along with elixirs, tonics, shrubs and CBD beverages for a night you won’t have to forget.

THE EXPERIENCE

The BANDBOX is a fully immersive and engaging interactive experience. We are an intimate non-alcoholic tasting lounge and bottle shop with a small number of indoor tables which fosters witty banter between staff and guests. Reservations are for 1 hour for each party.

Our goal is to allow guests to sample a variety of our NA cocktails/drinks on our tasting menu with our staff's guidance and recommendations. It’s like having your own personal non-alcoholic concierge assisting you with choosing the perfect NA drink that meets your expectations. You can also purchase a variety of bottled or canned items from our bottle shop.

Many of the alternative NA spirits and distilled spirits we mix in our cocktails are not available in other bars/restaurants locally and are quite foreign to a majority of our guests. For this reason, we strive to educate our guests on all the non-alcoholic options and preferences that are available in the market today. We are not a typical bar in that sense, it’s meant to be a fun, educational and memorable interactive experience.

OUR STORY

From the City Beautiful to the Big Apple to the southern comforts of Savannah, Georgia, The BANDBOX Orlando’s history has been shaped by owner, Kevin Zepf’s extensive theatre career up and down the east coast and across the country. 

Kevin has consistently carried a romanticism for theatre both pursuing it professionally and admiring its expansive history. Though, it was the transformative movement of the 1920s & 30s and the lavish architectural Art-Deco designs that Kevin drew his inspiration from.

With his extensive theatre experience blended with his tactical creative and design expertise, Kevin's background cultivated a passion for the arts and creating a retro-inspired lounge space where his theatrical background and enthusiasm for experiential could be showcased in a fully immersive experience.

In collaboration with a variety of local Orlando artists, photographers, artisans, contractors, interior designers and collaborators, this talented group of artisans have brought the 1920s back to life, right in the heart of Orlando’s Ivanhoe Village.

THE INSPIRATION

Spending years as a daydream, Kevin finally acquired his very own space in the bustling Ivanhoe Village District in Orlando, allowing him to officially bring The BANDBOX to life.

The final touch? Why non-alcoholic craft cocktails, of course. During the development of The BANDBOX the non-alcoholic beverage industry began to boom and so did Kevin’s interest in it. In markets like Sydney, London, and New York, non-alcoholic spirts began popping up in traditional bars and NA bars alike.

 The BANDBOX is now proud to be Orlando’s first spirit-free cocktail tasting lounge and bottle shop where consumers come in for a beverage and come back for the experience.

Cheers Old Sport!
