When you’re not quite ready to pull the plug on your night out, you’ll need a go-to bar in Orlando that’s open late. Since the city recently passed an ordinance that prevents Orlando bars from serving alcohol past midnight without a special permit, it might be tricky to find a late-night spot that will keep your energy going.

Luckily, a handful of bars in Orlando have been granted the special permit and will happily welcome you after midnight with open doors. Most of these bars are nestled downtown, but we’re definitely not counting out other parts of the greater Orlando area. And if you're looking to save a few dollars, there are plenty of late-night happy hours in Orlando.

Here are some of our favorite Orlando bars that are open late.
