Whether enjoyed as the sun sets over the City Beautiful or later in the evening as the theme park light start to glow, Bar 17 Bistro will surely attract guests for the location. While Universal Orlando Resort offers all types of entertainment, this new rooftop restaurant offers something different for the area. Many out of town guests seek outdoor dining locations because they want to enjoy the lovely Florida weather. Now, at the end of day at the parks, this modern, rooftop bar and grill, will offer a perfect place to relax and unwind.

Bar 17 Bistro will reflect the hotel’s contemporary design elements. Warm wood accents and natural elements are balanced by sleek, modern furniture. Overall, the pictures show that the design is set to highlight the views, not compete with them.

The eclectic menu will feature a variety of globally inspired dishes as well as elevated classics. From Bao Buns, highlighting Asian flavors, to classic sliders, there will surely be a dish that appeals to every palate.

Of course, a dramatic view deserves a spectacular cocktail. Fans of Loews Sapphire Falls Resort’s Strong Water Tavern will be happy to know that the same expert mixologist and bar consultant helped to create Bar 17 Bistro’s cocktail menu. Although Strong Water Tavern features primarily rum cocktails and tastings, it is uncertain if Bar 17 Bistro will also feature one particular spirit. Still, it seems likely that this new rooftop bar and grill could offer favor twists on classic cocktails.

All these new details on Bar 17 Bistro makes the August 2018 opening of the Aventura Hotel even more exciting. This news is just one of the several new attractions coming to Universal Resorts Florida. Voodoo Doughnuts is opening a location in City Walk. The new Fast and Furious SuperCharged ride will debut this spring. All the excitement will bring many more guests and locals to Universal Florida.
