There is no shortage of celebrity-owned restaurants in Florida, especially with such popular tourist cities as Miami, Orlando, and Tampa. It seems every other week, a new restaurant or gym opens with a celebrity attached. However, outside of the more notorious spots, like Wahlburgers and Emeril’s, we have another hotspot that maybe you didn’t know had a celebrity behind it. Ole Red Orlando is Blake Shelton’s restaurant in Orlando, Florida, featuring not just food and drinks but a live music venue, too!

Ole Red in Orlando, Florida, is an American-style restaurant, live music venue, and retail space that is inspired by county music icon Blake Shelton.
Conveniently located in the heart of Orlando's International Drive entertainment district, Ole Red features innovative cocktails, homemade dishes, and signature drinks, all inspired by Shelton.
What makes this restaurant so special, outside of the celebrity recognition, is its two tiers of space, with a stage for live music and Americana decor throughout. It’s like dining right at your own country music concert.
If you’re a fan of this vibe, then you’ll love visiting on Friday and Saturday nights from 9:30 p.m. to close when Honky Tonk Nights are in full swing.
The menu here is filled with upscale bar eats and American staples. You’ll find chicken wings, fried pickles, “Redneck Nachos,” and tons of handhelds, many of which have hilarious names.
Plus, the drinks are top-notch, too. You’ll have your choice of ice-cold drafts and wine, plus specialty drinks that are served in a take-home souvenir mason jar.
