    Attended a function that was hosted at this venue over the weekend. The venue is beautiful and the beer selection is great. The reason I'm giving 2 stars is because the bartender was horrible. She wasn't friendly, looked like she hated her life, complained to some of the guests that she was "thrown into this last minute" and actually made disgusted faces the entire time. It was a nice function where I'm positive she made a large amount of tips. It's just so sad to see someone act that way towards the paying customers she didn't talk to because she was too busy making faces and on her phone. If you don't want to work Isabella, take that up with your manager or scheduler not the guests and attendees. You're welcome for your tips. The bartenders personality is one of the biggest reasons for repeat customers when it is friendly and from a people person.

    One of my favorite spots in Orlando to enjoy a beer. They have one of the best selection of quality craft beer on tap. Very chill atmosphere. Food trucks from time to time. Conveniently located a block from GB’s Bottle Shop. Hit the both up. You don’t need to drink craft beer anywhere else in town.

    The Thirsty Topher is by far one of the best bars in Orlando. They have a large array of beer and wine, and are knowledgeable about the products they sell. The interior is great, especially the giant wooden bar top, and is always extremely clean. The staff are excellent and friendly, and they even have a great outdoor seating area. Cheese plate (photo) is also a great deal and a welcome addition since they don’t really serve food, but often have food trucks available. Mills area is cool, and rapidly changing, but if you want to grab some good beers, this is definitely the top spot.

    Super chill craft beer spot. Great ambiance and a lot of thought went into the design of the place.

    Good beer selection and solid atmosphere. Attached pizza spot is top tier, too.

  • 5/5 Vicki B. 2 years ago on Google
    Fun vibe, friendly folks, interesting selection of beers / other drinks. Community seating still allows intimate rendezvous... + their space is joined with an artisanal pizza maker, who delivers pies to your table, how fun is that?! They even have an outside deck for those who are social distancing

    No photos, was having too much fun. If you can drag yourself away from Fantasy Land, this is a great spot to knock back a few good beers.

  • 5/5 Michael P. 5 months ago on Google
    The bartenders are all super cool, and the rotating tap is always great. Always a ton of beer selections from local Florida breweries.

  • 5/5 Steve M. 8 months ago on Google
    I love this place. No TVs and the music is suitably quiet. You come here for the beer and good conversations with friends. We had a fun time. There is always decent selection of IPAs but the site was my favorite this time. Highly recommended!

    Thirsty Topher does not serve food, but you are more than welcome to get a pizza right next door at Ziggie's. They will even bring it to you at the Thirsty Topher.

  • 5/5 Chris O. 1 year ago on Google
    Plenty of options on-tap of local brews. Found some new likes here and the bartender was super helpful. Samples provided which certainly helped me choose and with the pizza next-door it's a great place to spend an evening with friends.

    Incredible neighborhood bar! They have a good selection of seasonal beer.

    Good selection of beers in a warm welcoming atmosphere. Service is great and you'll feel like a member of the family.

    Cool unique little place w/ lots of selections. I stoped in for just one drink while grabbing a pizza from next door. Had the cigar city cider, was excellent. Great friendly service bartender very knowledgeable about the area!

  • 5/5 Elizabeth H. 1 year ago on Google
    Really welcoming craft beer bar with tons on tap from all around the state and beyond. Loved trying local and far off bears alike. Servers were very friendly and the bar had a really great sense of community. Of course, most importantly, the beer was great.

    Favorite beer bar in Orlando. Always a great selection and friendly bartenders. Also super cozy and cute bar.

  • 5/5 Eduardo P. 3 years ago on Google
    Topher has always been my go-to spot for great beer, the staff is knowledgeable, the selection is great, and the atmosphere is laid back. It's far enough away from downtown that it doesn't get too packed and rowdy, and the music is an appropriate level to have a conversation, so it's a great place to take a date. I would recommend The Thirsty Topher as a must-try for anyone.

  • 5/5 Mark The Ticket G. 5 years ago on Google
    Cool little craft beer bar that comes highly recommended among all the local hospitality staff. They have a happy hour from 4PM to 7PM on Monday through Friday. Christian did a great job taking care of me and I loved the well thought out tap selection. I'll definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Lauren H. 2 years ago on Google
    A great place to drink and hangout. They have a ton of beers on tap and the bartenders are great about helping you find one you'll like and giving you samples before you order a glass. They also have rotating house sangrias and ciders for those that don't like beer or can't have gluten. A bit small and cozy inside, but they have a nice outdoor seating area out back, and the bartenders will come out to check on you and bring you more drinks.
