Corazón by Baires, a chic and intimate restaurant is set to debut on May 24, 2024 inside Mango's Tropical Café Orlando as a collaboration with Baires Grill. For nearly a decade, Mango's Tropical Café has brought the party to International Drive in Orlando with its popular dinner show, and lively nightclub. Now the venue, is embarking on a brand-new evolution that will integrate fine dining with its vibrant nightlife. Corazón by Baires, a chic and intimate restaurant is set to debut on May 24 within Mango's as a collaboration with Baires Grill, the popular Argentinian steakhouse. The new restaurant brings a major change for Mango's, with Corazón by Baires offering dinner reservations from 5 to 10:30 pm daily. From 10:30 pm, the space will revert to Mango's, with the legendary nightclub continuing to offer its popular club nights, lively fiestas, concerts, and more. In addition, Mango's is set to introduce, KALI Ultra Lounge this summer. Located at the second level of the 55,000-sq-ft complex, KALI will have a separate entrance, with the ultra-lounge bar and bottle service offering an exclusive list of premium spirits, luxurious handcrafted cocktails, and entertainment. Corazón by Baires will serve dinner Wednesdays through Sundays, with the new restaurant concept offering dinner reservations from 5 to 10:30 pm beginning on May 24. A Sunday brunch is also set to debut in the coming weeks. Reservations for the new restaurant are already available through OpenTable. The innovative partnership will deliver an iconic gastronomic experience with globally inspired Latin American cuisine. From the gaucho-perfected grilling technique of grass-fed Argentinean beef to fresh seafood and pasta with Mediterranean influences and Asian-inspired dishes, Corazón by Baires' menu, created by Executive Chef Paulo Osorio, is ready for center stage. The result is a remarkable international menu as diverse as the culture that inspires it. An extensive wine collection completes the ensemble. Menu highlights include a 40 oz. Tomahawk, 18 oz Certified Angus Ribeye, Andean Branzino with potatoes, chickpeas, and chorizo hash, and Fettuccini a la Ruota with Parmigiano Reggiano and truffle dust. Baires Grill has seven locations in South Florida, one in Midtown Manhattan, and another under construction in the Tribecca district of New York City. The new Corazón by Baires restaurant is the result of a partnership between Wallack Holding, who manage Mango's Tropical Cafe in Orlando, and Baires Holdings. In addition to the new restaurant within Mango's, Baires Holdings has also leased additional space in the adjacent Hollywood Plaza Garage for a future restaurant concept. This space will also soon be home to Tom's Watch Bar, a huge new sports bar. "Orlando is one of the world's most visited cities so, not surprisingly, we have been eager to expand here for a long time," said Sofia Koenig, general manager of Baires Holdings. "This partnership gives us an invaluable opportunity to successfully introduce our restaurant to a new audience. By sharing in Mango's expertise and knowledge of the market we will win the hearts of Central Floridians and of the thousands of travelers that visit Orlando every day." "Corazón by Baires is aimed to be a favorite of locals, convention center attendees, and theme park tourists searching for late-night dining. It is in Baires' DNA to serve later into the evening than other restaurants to meet the needs of guests who wish to dine far after the sun sets," Koenig continued. "We are ushering in an unprecedented era with this partnership," said Wallack Holdings CEO David Wallack. "It will lead the transformation of the I-Drive entertainment district into one that includes sophisticated dining experiences, luxury lounges, and high-end leisure options." "We will create dazzling experiences right here in the I-Drive Entertainment District as we enter a new era for our destination.

Exciting news! Tyler Childers will open the show on June 3 for The Rolling Stones at Camping World Stadium. Be sure to get there early! The Rolling Stones are hitting the road this summer, with the legendary rockers heading out across North America on the 2024 Hackney Diamonds Tour in support of their chart-topping album Hackney Diamonds. Ads the tour gets closer, the lineup of openers for the stadium tour have been announced including the bands show in Orlando on June 3, with country singer and songwriter, Tyler Childers opening the show. Childers will bring his mix of traditional country, bluegrass, and folk to the huge stage at downtown's Camping World Stadium. Hailing from the Appalachian Mountains in Kentucky, Tyler Childers is part of a wave of 2010s Americana artists who prize authenticity both in their songs and sound. Sonically, he borrows heavily from the weathered, ornery progressive country records of the 1970s, a comparison brought into sharp relief on his second album, 2017's Purgatory, which was produced by the acclaimed Americana rocker Sturgill Simpson. Childers' success continued with a Grammy nomination for "All Your'n," a cut from 2020's politically charged bluegrass album Long Violent History. Where that record benefitted from his control, its 2022 successor Can I Take My Hounds to Heaven? showcased his ambition, featuring a variety of styles spread over the course of three LPs. Childers tightened back up for his latest release, Rustin' in the Rain, an alternately raucous and empathetic album that was released in September. In addition to the show in Orlando, at Camping World Stadium on Monday, June 3, 2024, the group, led by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ron Wood, will perform in 16 cities across the U.S. and Canada, playing a combination of classics, deep cuts and songs from their latest album. Fans can expect to experience Mick, Keith and Ronnie play their most popular hits ranging from “Start Me Up,” “Gimme Shelter,” “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” “Satisfaction” and more. Get tickets now.
