Church Street Station is an entertainment complex similar to Universal’s CityWalk and Downtown Disney.

It was constructed around Orlando’s original train station in downtown Orlando. The restored station along with old-fashioned bars like Rosie O’Grady’s Good Time Emporium swelled in popularity until eventually a whole complex of restored buildings was created.

Like the major theme parks, the designers paid a lot of attention to detail and historical accuracy. The Train Depot is listed in the National Registry of Historic Places and contains numerous historical artifacts. The most impressive artifact is "Old Duke," a steam locomotive that was in the movie "Wings of Eagles" with John Wayne.

You pay a fee at the entrance to the complex and you are admitted to all the shows. Food and drinks are not included.

Besides bars, Church Street Station offers live entertainment, fine dining and the Church Street Exchange Shopping Emporium -- a three-story complex that has over 50 shops, restaurants and midway games.

Some of Church Street Station’s more popular attractions:

Rosie O’Grady’s Good Time Emporium --  Church Street Station’s original bar. It evokes the feel of turn of the century San Francisco with a dark wood bar and brass fixtures. The two real draws at Rosie’s are the Dixieland Jazz Revue (complete with bartop Can-Can girls) and a specialty drink called the Flaming Hurricane.

Phineas Phogg’s Balloon Works -- This is where the 20- and 30-something tourist should go to dance the night away. Weekend nights are crowded with a good mixture of tourists and locals.

Cheyenne Saloon and Opera House -- This immense building is one of the staples of Church Street Station. Built inside a former opera house, the Cheyenne Saloon attracts a large crowd almost every night. It is spread out over three levels and is decorated with tons of Old West memorabilia.
