This complex is going to be the home of the new Orlando Eye, Madame Tussaudes, SeaLife Aquarium and a ton of other new and fun restaurants, shops and bars! If you do not know about the new complex, then take a look at our article here! After riding a huge ferris wheel, checking out some famous figures and seeing some amazing sea creatures uo close then you need to finish off the night with some great food, amazing music, and an all around great time! Luckly for all of us, this can now happen with the announcement that Tin Roof will be opening at the complex in December 2014! Tin Roof, which started in Nashville, TN in 2002 is known as a “live music joint” with some great food, drinks and live music almost every night of the week! Orlando will be the 14th Tin Roof in the country!
“We think Orlando is a perfect fit for Tin Roof, for both tourists and locals,” said William Hodges, Tin Roof Regional Manager. “I-Drive 360 visitors can grab some food or listen to some great music before or after they visit some of the other new attractions there.”
The new Tin Roof – just steps from the Orlando Eye – is expected to open in December.
The Music
Tin Roof puts a premium on booking top local and regional bands. Music fans will typically find bands playing from 10 pm – 2 am on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, with acoustic sets during the week. Types of music will range from rock to alternative to country.
“We’ll be bringing in all types of bands and singers, and even some national acts for special events,” said Hodges. “We also put a premium on being a place where local bands and musicians can find a home and showcase their talents.”
Tin Roof will not be a ticketed venue, but cover charges will apply at certain times.

The Menu
Tin Roof will be open for lunch and dinner – but the food goes way beyond the typical bar fare. Guests can choose from a variety of gourmet grub, including these favorites:
Hot Chicken Torta – this Mexican-style sandwich features buttermilk fried chicken, served with pickles and potato salad.
Big Farmer Dave’s Quesadilla – filled with sausage, zucchini, pecan-herb pesto and cheese.
Kentuckyaki Wings – wings like you’ve never had them; the sauce includes bourbon, soy, sorghum, garlic and ginger.
“We can’t wait to open our doors and give people a place to unwind after a day at work or hitting the theme parks,” said Hodges. “We’ll be the place to hear the best live music in town.”
