Oblivion is Orlando's newest Beer Bar and Grill.  Owners Pete and Missy set out to create a locally owned restaurant that has both kick ass food and a giant selection of craft beer. You can definitely find both of those things at Oblivion taproom.  The atmosphere here is what a craft beer bar is supposed to be.  They only have one TV and they don't play loud music either.  Its the ideal chill bar if you are looking for great beer and even better food (burgers are the specialty here)!  You can check out Chef Goody's daily food specials on their Facebook page.
