any recommendations on a fun bar in downtown Orlando, and a hotel within walking distance?

I grew up in Orlando. International Drive is quite touristy due to all of the attractions in the area, but that just means there's more themed restaurants and bars to go to. Downtown Orlando used to be quite a night hot spot as well. Among the many bars Eye Spy is unique. From the outside it looks like a warehouse with Import/Export sign. When you knock to go in you must know the secret password or you'll be asked to perform some silly routine that everyone in the bar can see (you're unaware until you get into the bar). There's secret passageways, bookcases that open into other parts of the bar, etc. Hotel - the Grand Bohemian is a must stay...walking distance to the downtown bars http://www.grandbohemianhotel.com/
