A cool lounge that offers an escape from downtown's crowds and techno beat.

Escapism
Lee's is an underground bar located in a high-rise apartment building that overlooks downtown's Lake Eola. The hotel lounge-like feel makes Lee's a great place to escape the weekend warriors, tourists and the pounding techno beat prevalent at downtown's hipper nightspots.

Drinks?
The bar offers standard import and domestic beer, wine and cider, as well as assorted mixed drinks and cocktails. The crowd is a tossed salad of residents who live in the building, those wanting to get away from the crowds and others who just stumbled upon the place.

Last Call
A great place to wind up for your last drink, though Lee's hours fluctuate drastically depending on the crowd. A limited menu of bar food--wings, pizza, subs, etc.--is sometimes available from the upstairs restaurant, Lee's Lakeside. The jukebox may not offer underground sounds, but it's absolutely free!
