If you want a great place to have a drink and or a snack or a meal—-you must try  the outdoor bar (there is an area where you can set under cover if it decides to rain) surrounded by ancient Oak trees and lots of good things to at and drink at a decent price—-Then ya gotta go here:

Eden Bar at the Enzian Theater

1300 S Orlando Ave,

Maitland, FL 32751

In addition to food, the Enzian offers movies just click above on Enzian for listing and info on what they offer and they are even streaming some–for a fee.  (they are a non-profit dealing in Indy films and the like—if you go to the end of this blog you’ll find info on their film festival next month.

In addition to all that you will find a great place to spends some time reading and have a snack, a drink or a meal on your own—or in fact a couple of friends and relax (masks required when not eating or drinking)  in a calm atmosphere setting next to a major route–17-92—-You don’t even know its there anymore.

And the people—the staff are fun and do a great job with the food—-made fresh on sit—I love the Nachos…….Their fried chicken is superior and the White Chocolate Bread pudding is a class all on to itself and that’s just to name a few..  But back to the staff, they do a good job and they remember you and ask about where you’ve been and what doing—–it’s like coming home when you’re a regular.  One of my recent visits (I had been done for awhile due to—well you know—I met a new manager and was impressed when one group were trying to take a picture at one table and couldn’t quite do it.   He volunteered–he climbed on this step ladder and took it—now that’s going the extra—STEP???   Just another example that the staff here aims (and does) please.

And the customers here help too—I have met so many original people and learned so many thing—sometime they’re very educational—sometimes amazing—–this time the Gentleman in the picture below came by our table and we discussed French Fry distribution—-i’d put it in the OHHHH I don’t know—-a great way to reach a goal  delivery.

So if you want some place to come and enjoy and to relax while you’re doing it—this is the place—–oh and while there is no smoking at the bar there is a no smoking area that we met another interesting local at (check below)

Cilgerran Castle

Cilgerran Castle,  one of Wales’s most picturesque castles, crowns a wooded gorge in the beautiful Teifti Valley.  This tranquil spot was once hotly disputed territory.  The castle was protected on two sides by steep drops, and in the 13th century powerful twin round turrents and curtain walls were built to defend its vulnerable flank away from the cliff.  Cilgerran’s history and setting have long stirred the imagination.  It has inspired artists for centuries and  was one of Wale’s first tourist attractions.
