For nearly three decades, The Cordish Companies' Live! brand has
dramatically changed the entertainment experience around the
country, creating one-of-a-kind destinations that offer premier
dining venues and nightlife, first-class hospitality, the best of
local, regional, and national entertainment, and a curated
year-round calendar of special events. Highly regarded as one of
the premier entertainment brands nationwide, Live! welcomes over 55
million visitors each year to its dining, entertainment, hotel,
casino resort and music venues throughout the U.S.
including Xfinity Live!, in partnership with Comcast Spectacor, and
Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia in the South
Philadelphia Sports Complex; Texas Live! and Live! by Loews hotel
in the Arlington Entertainment District in partnership with the
Texas Rangers; Live! at The Battery Atlanta in partnership with the

Baltimore/Washington DC corridor.
This will be the Company's first opening in the Orlando market as it continues its vast
expansion across the state of Florida and Southeast region of the United States.
In Florida, Cordish was the
original development partner of the Seminole Tribe of Florida for Hard Rock Hotel &
Casino Hollywood and
Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa, two of the most successful
casino entertainment resorts in the world. Further
demonstrating their strong commitment to the State of Florida, Cordish recently opened
Vivo!, a 62,000-square-foot dining and entertainment destination in
Miami, and is under crane on a
223-acre master planned mixed-use development in Pompano Beach called The Pomp that combines
casino gaming with best-in-class entertainment,
retail, dining, hotel, residential, office and lifestyle amenities
into one dynamic destination.
"It is incredibly exciting for The Cordish Companies to unveil
more details about our highly anticipated dining and entertainment
destination in Orlando, starting
with the naming of the project under our flagship Live! brand,"
said Reed Cordish, Principal of The
Cordish Companies. "We are proud to continue working with Brixmor
Property Group to bring a world-class experience to Pointe Orlando.
Live! at The Pointe Orlando will be a game-changing development for
Orlando's tourism corridor and is
sure to become the premier destination for both locals and
tourists."
LIVE! AT THE POINTE ORLANDO is being developed by Live!
Hospitality & Entertainment, a division of The Cordish
Companies, with plans to bring approximately 73,000 square feet of
immersive indoor and outdoor dining and entertainment space to
Pointe Orlando, including 37,000 square feet of exterior gathering
space. The world-class dining, entertainment, nightlife and social
destination will feature several venues centered around an
incredible outdoor LIVE! PLAZA that will serve as the living
room of the community for special events, live music, sports
watching and festivals year-round, giving guests a variety of
experiences to enjoy and always a reason to come back. Among the
new venues announced today for the project are:
- HOUNDSMEN ENGLISH LOUNGE is a
thoughtfully considered cocktail lounge that offers a curated list
of expertly crafted drinks featuring fine spirits, dark whiskeys
and diverse inspiration. With rich interior finishes, wood-paneled
walls, low lighting and leather accents, the lounge will offer an
elevated space that provides a sophisticated destination to relax,
unwind and gather. The captivating 4,800-square-foot venue will
transport guests to the highlands of England, creating a welcoming space for
all.
- The home of endless summer, SHARK
BAR brings an endless party to Live! at The Pointe Orlando. The
4,600-square-foot venue offers a spacious interior that blends
retro surf with retro cool with vibrant colors, retractable garage
doors and plush exterior patio seating, making it the perfect oasis
for cocktail parties, receptions, happy hour and late-night social
scene. From frosty cool rum runners and piña coladas to Shark Bar's
signature beach pail punch, Shark Bar heats up with the greatest
retro dance music in the region. Other locations of the concept can
be found at Ballpark Village adjacent to Busch Stadium in
St. Louis, MO and at Kansas City
Live! in the Power & Light District located in the heart of
downtown Kansas City, MO.
"Riding a mechanical bull at PBR Cowboy Bar, imbibing crafted
cocktails in an elevated lounge reminiscent of the English
countryside, or watching your favorite sporting events on
state-of-art screens in Sports & Social are just a few of the
one-of-a-kind experiences you will soon find at the newly renovated
Pointe Orlando. The addition of The Cordish Companies' Live!
Brand is another example of why Pointe Orlando is Orlando's dining and entertainment destination
that embraces sophisticated fun indoors and outdoors," said
Matt Ryan, EVP & President South
Region for Brixmor Property Group, owner of Pointe Orlando.
Previously announced anchor venues, SPORTS & SOCIAL
and PBR COWBOY BAR, are located in high-profile
entertainment and lifestyle districts, world-class
casino resort destinations, and adjacent to
professional sports stadiums around the country. Together, the
concepts have nearly 30 locations nationwide including The Battery
adjacent to Truist Park in Atlanta; Ballpark Village adjacent to Busch
Stadium in St. Louis; Texas Live!
in the Arlington Entertainment District; Nashville Live! in the
heart of downtown Nashville, and
Vivo! in Miami, FL.
- SPORTS & SOCIAL is the premier
restaurant and bar concept in the United
States that brings elevated food and drink offerings,
premier sports watching, live music, a high energy nightlife, and
social games all under one roof. Guests can expect a full menu of
made-from-scratch gameday favorites, curated cocktails and
specialty drinks, including its signature Crush selection, and a
variety of beer from national brews and local favorites. The
two-level, 11,700-square-foot venue will feature one of the best
sports watching experiences in the region with its premier game-day
Sports Watch activations. Outfitted with state-of-the-art
technology, the space will boast an impressive LED display at its
centerpiece that will show multiple games and sporting events at
once. Guests will also be able to enjoy live music throughout the
week, as well as a wide variety of social games such as skee-ball,
foosball, hoops, arcade games, shuffleboard, and Beirut. Sports & Social will have ample
seating inside and out, including multiple signature bars and an
indoor/outdoor bar that flows out to the Live! Plaza.
- Born from the toughest sport on dirt, the
iconic PBR COWBOY BAR lives up to its legendary
namesake, Professional Bull Riders, which embodies toughness,
determination, and a true spirit of independence. PBR Cowboy Bars
fuse that spirit with first-class hospitality, bringing an
authentic country western experience that marries an electric
combination of 'cowboy cool' and big-time entertainment. The
8,400-square-foot venue in Orlando, the 16th location to open
in the country, will feature a professionally endorsed mechanical
riding bull, multiple signature bars, and private VIP booths,
offering an incredible venue for celebrating special occasions and
hosting private events. The soul of PBR Cowboy Bar comes alive
through its great entertainment, the best in country music, and its
rich traditions. PBR Cowboy Bar venues have welcomed some of the
biggest names in country music including Luke Bryan, Old
Dominion, and Justin Moore.
Additionally, each PBR Cowboy Bar recognizes Freedom Friday, a
night of appreciation once a month for all military personnel,
veterans, first responders and public service members.
