There are plenty of things to do at Universal Orlando, but every now and then, something returns that feels a little more special than the rest. Not because it’s bigger or louder—but because it’s harder to find.
That’s exactly what’s happening right now at CityWalk.
A hidden speakeasy has quietly made its return, and according to Inside Universal, the fan-favorite 600 Block is officially back. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because this wasn’t just a one-time idea. It built a following the first time around, and now guests finally have another shot at experiencing it.
A Secret Worth Searching For
What makes this experience stand out starts before you even step inside.
You won’t find a giant sign pointing you in the right direction. Instead, the 600 Block is tucked away inside Pat O’Brien’s, blending in with the rest of the restaurant. Most guests walk right past it without even realizing what’s there.
But if you know what to ask—and you have the right password—you’ll unlock something completely different from the usual CityWalk experience.
That extra step might seem small, but it changes everything. It makes the whole thing feel intentional, like you’re part of something not everyone gets to do.
A Totally Different Energy
CityWalk is known for being busy, loud, and full of energy, especially at night. But once you step into the speakeasy, the vibe shifts almost instantly.
The lighting drops. The music changes. The pace slows down.
Inside, you’ll find a more relaxed setting with live jazz music adding to the atmosphere. It feels less like a theme park spot and more like a place you’d stumble across in a much bigger city. It’s easy to lose track of time here, which is part of the appeal.
There’s also the option to sit outside, which gives you a completely different experience. You still get that exclusive feel, but with the added bonus of hearing the dueling pianos from downstairs.
Drinks, Bites, and Attention to Detail
The menu keeps things simple, but in a good way. The drinks are clearly designed to fit the theme, with a mix of classic inspiration and modern twists.
Nothing feels rushed or thrown together. There’s a level of detail here that stands out, especially compared to more standard offerings around CityWalk.
Food-wise, you’re looking at small plates—things you can share or snack on while enjoying the atmosphere. It’s not meant to be a full meal, and it doesn’t need to be.
Why Fans Are Paying Attention
Universal Orlando has been in expansion mode, especially with Epic Universe now part of the lineup. But experiences like this show a different side of what the resort can offer.
Not everything needs to be massive to leave an impression.
The return of 600 Block proves that smaller, more curated experiences still matter. And because it’s only running through the summer for now, it adds that extra layer of urgency.
You don’t know how long it’ll stick around.
And honestly, that might be what makes it so appealing.
