Style

Two-sentence insider summary
This family-friendly rooftop bar offers some of the best views to be found anywhere at (Universal) Orlando, with a menu of small plates and custom potions to back it up. These urban flavors and spectacular vistas are not to be missed, even if it’s for a brief visit after a long day at the parks (all of which you can see!).
OI fun fact
The “17” in the bar’s name comes from the fact that it sits on the 17th floor of the hotel, otherwise known as the roof.
Prices
Small plates at Bar 17 Bistro run from $7 to $18, while drinks go from $6 to $110 (for a bottle of wine).
