Editorial Review for Latitudes – by Daniel Fuller
The Scene
This rooftop's bar is done in an obvious tiki/Key West motif with bamboo decorations, wood-planked walkways and the usual "island" trappings. Torches outline the bar's perimeter and there are plenty of four-top tables scattered about. Top 40 music blares from strategically placed loudspeakers, making conversation difficult at times.
The Draw
There just aren't too many views like this in Orlando, especially downtown. The best view is the one facing the SunTrust tower and Church Street below; great for people-watching or some serious daydreaming. The bar's backside view is less attractive as the angle affords only other rooftops and alley ways. Latitudes offers the standard domestic and import beer selections (as well as a full liquor service), though a Corona with a twist of lime will get you in the mood. The massive crowds--even during the week--can make getting to the bar an uncomfortable process, so make those stops strategic.

This place COULD be a great casual hang-out. COULD because not only do you have to fight your way to the back of the ground floor club, trek up the back 3 flights of stairs, THEN you have to fight the shoulder to shoulder crowd to get to the bar. This place is WAY overcrowded, no place to move and not to mention that half the crowd was mid 40's to 50's. The music sounded horrible and the DJ (can you call him that?) was basically some nerd on a computer pointing and clicking. A waste of my $5 cover charge.
Pros: Cool roof-top atmosphere
Cons: Inconvenient location, overcrowded, bad sound system, cover charge
