   We decided to get in while the Christmas decorations were still up and it did not disappoint. They are so amazingly over the top and loved every place we looked to find something new. Service was, as always, the best and the holiday drink and food menu was incredible. Loved the creativity and ambiance and Brian, Nick and Jerry took very good care of us!

   Bartenders are friendly and delightful. The food and drinks are creative and delicious. Atmosphere is amazing. We went for our second visit during Christmas and it was great to experience the holiday decor and menu.

   The Pumbaa is excellent. The Christmas overlay was great—funny and festive and yummy. Our second trip and we will definitely be back.

   A fun themed experience. Traveled from Brevard for this experience. Worth a try if you like a good theme and tiki!

   Have a wonderful time celebrating my birthday. They were able to accommodate our large group and had great service. Our server Nick was very bubbly and even the bartender came around, lovely young curly haired woman who was the sweetest. The host was also so great, you could tell she really enjoyed her job. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone!

   Always a great time. Easily the best tiki bar in Orlando.

   Immersive decor, energetic and personable hostess and server, and enviable thematic integrity from decor to menus to “scripts” used in conversation with guests. There’s a lot to love about Permanent Vacation. Unfortunately, food and beverages are only fair (one of our drinks - a room temp “hot toddy” was truly terrible). Good variety on the menu and recipes seem to be on point. Issues seem to be more of a bartender skills gap - not knowing how to achieve the optimal balance and blend in each drink - and maybe some lack of care in the kitchen (calamari was cool to the touch and stuck together in clumps). Hope the mixology and food prep improve because we want PV to succeed.

    We're already planning our next visit. Tasty cocktails prepared by fabulous bartenders who really know their stuff. Small and cozy. The staff at Copper Rocket were friendly, too!
