We all want to find our ultimate go-to happy hour spot. Because a solid bar with happy hour means good food, great vibe, and promotions that are both generous and consistent—ideally, somewhere close by.
So in other words, we all want a go-to spot to relax with friends and loved ones during that tempting after-office window when, no matter the day, we all get a little thirsty. But what if we add one more twist to the search—the bar-in-Orlando factor? And even more, close to Disney World? The plot thickens.
Between the theme parks, outlet malls, and group selfies with cartoon characters, Orlando days can be a lot. So when 5 PM rolls around, the next move is obvious: find a solid bar, grab a drink, and take a proper pause. Ideally with something good to eat, and maybe a wine list that doesn’t feel like an afterthought.
If that’s the vibe you’re looking for, you’re in luck. In the middle of I-Drive, just minutes from the parks, there’s a place that does happy hour right—with Latin American flair, top-tier appetizers, and a list of drinks and wines that makes the end of your day something to look forward to.
Not every restaurant near Disney World is worth veering off course for, but Corazón by Baires is something different. With a menu rooted in Latin American cuisine and a bar that knows what it’s doing, this spot hits the sweet spot between easygoing and gourmet.
Between the fairy-tale setting and a gourmet menu that delivers every time, happy hour holds its own as one of the strongest contenders for what makes this place one for the books.
Every Monday to Thursday from 5–7 PM, Corazón offers 50% OFF on a curated list of appetizers, wines by the glass, and specialty drinks—exclusively at the bar. So whether you're winding down after a park day or just kicking off your night on I-Drive, this is definitely where you want to land when the clock hits five.
50% OFF on appetizers, specialty drinks, and wines by the glass, Monday to Thursday from 5-7 PM, exclusively at the Bar
Let’s talk logistics. Happy Hour at Corazón runs Monday to Thursday from 5 to 7 PM, and it happens exclusively at the bar. That means 50% OFF on a carefully selected trio:
It’s not the kind of bar with happy hour where you’re stuck with just one draft beer and a plate of fries. Here, the pairings are thought out—from the house-made cocktails to the wine list that goes from Argentina to France.
Pair a glass of Malbec with a warm empanada, or sip a sparkling prosecco alongside a slice of brie. However you match it, this hour feels like the best way to wrap up your day.
This is where things get good. Because at Corazón, happy hour isn’t just about the drinks—it’s about the plates that go with them.
Among the hot appetizers, few things hit the spot like the empanadas (available in hand-cut beef or roasted caprese), paired with chimichurri and spicy pesto aioli. Then there’s the baked brie, served with candied bacon, apricots, togarashi honey, and rosemary crostini—sweet, salty, and exactly what you didn’t know you needed.
Prefer to keep it cool? On the cold appetizer side, the burrata and prosciutto brings together heirloom tomatoes, red pepper pesto, spicy basil oil, and grilled ciabatta—a balanced mix of fresh and savory. You’ve also got the tuna tartare, served with yuzu ponzu, cucumber, wasabi aioli, and fried wontons—bright, clean, and packed with flavor.
Or go all-in with the charcuterie board, featuring manchego, goat cheese, parmigiano, sopressata, chorizo ibérico, and jamón serrano. Any of these work solo—but they really shine with a drink in hand. Which brings us to…
When it comes to drinks, Corazón doesn’t just check the box—it puts real thought behind every pour. If you're into cocktails, wine, or just curious to try something new, the bar is well stocked and well considered.
The list of artisanal cocktails ranges from refreshing and citrusy to smoky and spirit-forward. Think ingredients like hibiscus, lychee, fresh herbs, espresso, and jalapeño tequila—all combined in drinks that are balanced, layered, and made to be enjoyed slowly.
Names like Mystic Lust, Bond of Seduction, and Corazón Cosmopolitan set the tone for what you can expect: a mix of creativity, flavor, and just the right amount of drama.
Wine drinkers have plenty to choose from, too. The wine list by the glass pulls from classic regions like Argentina, France, Italy, Spain, and California—with a thoughtful mix of reds, whites, rosé, and even a few bubbly options.
For Argentinian wines, fine options are the Conte-Grand Malbec or the Norton Privada blend—both offer rich, balanced profiles that pair effortlessly with the empanadas. Fans of white wines might lean into a crisp Sauvignon Blanc from Robert Mondavi, or a Chardonnay from Far Niente Single Estate.
If you’re into reds, there’s no shortage of choices. From Cabernet Sauvignon (like Intercept, Catena Alta, or St. Francis) to Pinot Noir by J Vineyards and Willamette Valley, there’s a glass for every plate. And yes, there’s even rosé and Prosecco if that’s your move.
The also-delicious 50% OFF at this bar with happy hour is the perfect excuse to try something new—whether it’s a glass of Malbec or a cocktail you wouldn’t normally go for.
You could go anywhere for happy hour—but if you want drinks with some thought behind them, plates that go beyond the usual, and a dreamy setting that actually feels like staying awhile, Corazón is the place.
This is —or will be— your ultimate go to happy hour spot. A bar with great cocktails, solid wines, and Latin American dishes that hit the spot—even better when they’re 50% off. So whether you’re just getting started or winding down, gather your crew and come grab a seat at the bar.
5 PM to 7 PM, Monday to Thursday. You know where to be, just book it!
