You don’t go to Disney World just for the bars, but after one cocktail at Nomad Lounge or a round of tiki drinks at Trader Sam’s, you just might start building your next trip around them.
This guide covers the best of them: the destination lounges, the hidden gems, and the spots we keep going back to (in the name of research, obviously). You’ll find drink recs, food tips, and which ones are worth the walk, the wait, or the wallet.
Want a full breakdown of where you can drink, what the alcohol rules are, and tips by park? Head to our Drinking in Disney World guide for all the practical info. Want to know which drink-focused spots are actually worth making a reservation for? Here’s our full guide to the Best Dining Reservations for Drinks at Disney World.
How We Picked the Bars in Our List
There are a lot of places to grab a drink at Disney World, but this list is about the best of the best. We chose bars and lounges that, in our opinions, checked at least a few of these boxes:
- Genuinely good drinks (not just sugary pre-mix in a themed glass)
- Strong atmosphere or storytelling
- Solid food options, or at least one great snack
- Walkability or convenience (bonus points for hidden gems)
You’ll find options across all four parks, resorts, Disney Springs, and even a few upcoming openings we’re keeping an eye on. Some are fancy. Some are weird. Some are classics for a reason.
Ready to drink your way through Disney? Let’s do this.
Best Bars for Themeing & Atmosphere
These are the bars that go all in on storytelling, design, and that classic Disney immersion. Whether you’re drinking inside a tiki temple, a magician’s hideaway, or an intergalactic dive bar, these spots are more than just places to grab a drink, they’re full-on experiences.
Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto (Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort)
Best For: Monorail Crawl, Destination Bar, Over-the-Top Theming
Reservations: Walk-up only (waitlist opens before 3 p.m.)
Food Available: Small plates (Kalua pork tacos, dumplings)
Favorite Drink: Uh-Oa (fruit, rum, and fire, literally)
Link to menu »
Pro Tip: Get in line before 2:30 p.m. for the best shot at grabbing a seat when it opens.
If the Jungle Cruise had a bar tucked behind it, this would be it. Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto is small, loud, and packed with every bit of theming Disney could cram into four walls. The drinks are strong, the bartenders are fully committed to the bit, and the entire place erupts when someone orders a certain cocktail. You’ll either love it or leave with a headache, or maybe both.
It’s not subtle, but that’s kind of the point. It’s just an absolutely fantastic example of a tiki bar, and we love that it is at Walt Disney World. Just don’t expect to have an uninterrupted conversation, because you’ll need to be ready to join in on the fun when it happens.
La Cava del Tequila (Mexico Pavilion, EPCOT)
Best For: Destination Bar, Drinking Around the World, Unique Margaritas
Reservations: Walk-up only
Food Available: Chips and guac, queso
Favorite Drink: Blood Orange Margarita & Avocado Margarita
Link to menu »
Pro Tip: It gets crowded fast. Try visiting before noon or later in the evening.
La Cava del Tequila is EPCOT’s best bad idea. Tucked into the pyramid in the Mexico Pavilion like some kind of mezcal-scented hideout, it’s small, dark-ish, a little loud, and almost always swarming with people who claimed they were just “grabbing one drink.” The margaritas are excellent, strong, smart, sometimes weird. And, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the fact that we’ve definitely eaten our weight in chips queso and guac.
The servers are not only friendly but they are excellent at recommendations, especially if you’re looking to try a shot of one of the dozens and dozens and dozens of tequilas they serve. They truly know their stuff. It’s the kind of place where you lose track of time, your budget, and occasionally your dignity. And we absolutely love it for that.
Oga’s Cantina (Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, Hollywood Studios)
Best For: Destination Bar, Star Wars Fans
Reservations: Strongly recommended
Food Available: Limited bar snacks
Favorite Drink: Fuzzy Tauntaun (peach vodka, foam that numbs your lips)
Link to menu »
Pro Tip: Ask for a booth when you check in, they’re way comfier than standing at the bar but you may have to wait awhile to get one.
Oga’s is an absolute must-do at least once for any Star Wars fan. Even if you’re just a casual follower of Star Wars, we still think it’s worth a visit when Bar Hopping at Hollywood Studios, if nothing else than to just check it off a list.
The cocktails here are pre-mixed, but they are well themed and unique and the vibe inside is a mix of chaos and fun, including a droid DJ named DJ R3X spinning space bangers. It stays crowded, and just know that you will likely be sharing a standing table (or booth) with other parties. Or, if you are sent to the bar, they often have you stand one person in front of the other (and not side-by-side) which is kind of annoying but since you have a 2 drink (45-minute) max, it’s tolerable.
Trying to snag a spot at Oga’s? Check out our Disney Reservation Guide for tips.
Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar (Disney Springs)
Best For: Disney Springs Crawl, Theming, Adventurer Vibes
Reservations: Walk-up only
Food Available: Pretzels, dips, wings
Favorite Drink: The Bitter Barkeep (pisco + drama)
Link to menu »
Pro Tip: Make sure to visit over the holidays for both the decorations and the menu.
Are you an Indiana Jones fan? Then you probably know who Jock Lindsey is. But even if you don’t know that Jock was a pilot of a plane in the very first Indiana Jones movie, you will appreciate the vibe of this place.
The space is overflowing with ridiculous (but weirdly specific) aviation artifacts and inside jokes, all held together with a solid drink list and an even stronger pun game. It’s one of the few places in Disney Springs that feels like it was made for adults, the kind who appreciate a good backstory and a good happy hour. Plus, the food here is fantastic, too. And over the holidays? They go full kitsch and cover nearly every surface with decorations and lights.
We think the patio is one of the best in Disney Springs, especially if you can snag a seat near the water. Inside, it’s part speakeasy, part adventurer’s warehouse, and just a lot of fun.
AbracadaBar (Disney’s BoardWalk)
Best For: BoardWalk Crawl, Theming, Magician Vibes
Reservations: Walk-up only
Food Available: Limited (mainly bar snacks)
Favorite Drink: Parlor Trick (vodka, elderflower, lemon, and bubbles)
Link to menu »
Pro Tip: If the weather is nice, take your drinks outside to soak in the Boardwalk vibe.
The BoardWalk area has changed in recent years, and with the loss of JellyRolls (sob!), there aren’t as many places with a fun vibe where you can just hang. Thankfully, AbracadaBar is still going strong and is a cool place to spend some time.
The inside is dark and moody with rich colors and lots of velvety fabrics, all themed around magicians who mysteriously disappeared mid-act. The menu leans “classic with a twist”, and while the cocktails won’t blow your mind, it’s still a solid choice.
Unlike some of the other bars in this section, we’ve never had any problems getting a seat right away, which makes it a good option if you’re looking for someplace where you can have a couple cocktails and snacks.
Space 220 Lounge (EPCOT)
Best For: Unique Atmosphere, Creative Drinks
Reservations: Recommended (or join walk-up list)
Food Available: Lounge menu & small plates
Favorite Drink: Illumination (Bacardi, Malibu, Passion Fruit, Blood Orange, Pineapple, Lime Sour, Passion Fruit Boba) and the Up All Night (Absolute Vanilla, Chilled Espresso, Kahlúa, Crème de Cacao)
Link to menu »
Pro Tip: Ask to sit at the bar for the best views of floating astronauts, passing satellites, and a space dog or two.
The lounge is the sneaky way to enjoy Space 220 without locking into a prix fixe meal or pretending you’re excited about blue shrimp. You’ll still get the full space station view including astronauts doing backflips and satellites floating by.
The drinks here aren’t pre-made, which is nice, and they are all super well-themed. Although you can sometimes get on a waitlist here, to guarantee a chance to go inside we recommend snagging a reservation (make sure you make it for the lounge and NOT the restaurant!) 60 days in advance.
Rose & Crown Pub (United Kingdom Pavilion, EPCOT)
Best For: Drinking Around the World, Lively Atmosphere, Fireworks Views
Reservations: Walk up only
Food Available: Nothing
Favorite Drink: Pimm’s Cup (classic, refreshing, and deceptively strong)
Link to menu »
Pro Tip: Head inside for the real drinks, the outdoor kiosk has a limited selection.
The Rose & Crown isn’t themed in the same way that Oga’s, Trader Sam’s, or even Space 220 is, but it looks exactly as if you’ve just walked into a pub in the United Kingdom, and that’s why we included it in this section.
If you’ve ever wanted to drink with 30 of your loudest new friends, you’ve found your spot. Rose & Crown is the closest thing EPCOT has to a neighborhood pub, and depending on when you go, it’s either delightfully rowdy or just regular rowdy. It’s definitely one of the best stops along the way if you’re Drinking Around the World at EPCOT’s World Showcase.
Inside, it’s standing room only most nights, with people yelling drink orders. Outside, the nearby patio turns into one of the best fireworks-viewing spots on property, but if you wanna watch from here you’ll need to snag a table early.
It’s not fancy. The drinks are classic beers, pub blends, and whiskey. The vibes are loud in the best way. This is one of those places we go every single trip. Check out our full Rose & Crown Pub Review for our favorite drinks, patio tips, and everything that makes it a must-stop on every EPCOT crawl.
Geo-82 Lounge (EPCOT – Now Open!)
Best For: Future World Vibes, EPCOT Geeks
Reservations: Required (and competitive)
Food Available: Small plates (globally inspired)
Favorite Drink: TBD
Link to menu »
Pro Tip: Prioritize this reservation at 60 days out. It’s one of the hardest to get in all of EPCOT.
Disney’s newest lounge is literally inside Spaceship Earth, and it’s as fancy as that sounds. GEO-82 is adults-only, reservation-only, and stacked with premium cocktails like clarified sours, brûléed banana highballs, and a brown butter bourbon that we’d happily drink through a thunderstorm.
The space itself is sleek, moody, and full of metallic textures … all very retro EPCOT.
If you’re into aesthetics, exclusivity, and drinks that come with their own flight of bourbon, this is your new EPCOT obsession. Get the full GEO-82 menu and fireworks experience breakdown here.
The Beak and Barrel – a Pirates of the Caribbean-themed Lounge (Magic Kingdom – Coming Soon!)
Best For: Drinking at Magic Kingdom, Pirate Vibes
Reservations: TBD
Food Available: TBD
Favorite Drink: TBD (but please let there be rum)
Menu coming soon »
Pro Tip: Keep an eye on soft opening dates, this one’s going to be popular, fast.
Sound the cannons: Magic Kingdom is getting a pirate bar.
The Beak and Barrel is sailing into Adventureland later this year, and it’s shaping up to be the most immersive place to grab a drink in the park – yes, in Magic Kingdom. Run by a legendary rumrunner named Captain Merry and her loudmouth parrot Rummy (who may or may not lead toasts from the rafters), this Pirates of the Caribbean-inspired tavern is packed with cursed shipwrecks, enchanted rum bottles, and storytelling flair.
Drinks and bites for pirates of all ages are promised, but we’ve got our fingers crossed for a boozy grog menu that finally gives MK a proper bar vibe.
Magic Kingdom still has the most limited alcohol options of any park, but this tavern could seriously shift the tide.
Want to see where else you can drink in the meantime? Here’s our full post on alcohol at Magic Kingdom.
Best Bars for Cocktails & Craft Drinks
This isn’t your standard sugary Disney margarita roundup (which don’t get us wrong, we love those too!). These are the bars where the cocktails are a little more elevated, more creative, and just a little bit more fancy.
Enchanted Rose (Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort)
Best For: Monorail Crawl, Sophisticated Cocktails, Grand Floridian Vibes
Reservations: Walk-up only
Food Available: Elevated bar bites (truffle fries, charcuterie, cheese boards)
Favorite Drink: Island Rose (vodka, elderflower, rose water)
Link to menu »
Pro Tip: Take the monorail here from Magic Kingdom mid-afternoon when it’s quieter (check the hours in the My Disney Experience app).
This is Disney’s answer to a fancy cocktail lounge, with just enough Beauty and the Beast influence to feel on theme, without leaning too hard into the singing furniture. Each room is subtly inspired by the live-action film (not the animated one), so don’t expect a candelabra belting show tunes.
We’ve ducked in here mid-afternoon for a quiet break and late at night after fireworks, and it delivers every time. The bartenders know their stuff, the pours are generous, and the atmosphere is grown-up in a way that’s hard to find on property. Yes, the drinks are pricey and sometimes there is a wait to get in, but if you’re looking for a spot where you can sit and just soak in the fact that you’re at Walt Disney World, this is a great spot for that.
Citricos Lounge (Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa)
Best For: Fancy Night Out, Monorail Crawl, Sophisticated Cocktails
Reservations: Walk-up only (attached to Citricos, which does take reservations)
Food Available: Citricos Menu
Favorite Drink: Pineapple Daiquiri (Ron Zacapa 23 Rum, Aperol, pineapple & lime juice, bitters)
Link to menu »
Pro Tip: This is a great stop during a Monorail bar crawl, less crowded than Enchanted Rose, with better drinks.
Attached to Citricos, this airy, Mary Poppins Returns-inspired space is surprisingly low-key despite its upscale setting. It’s quiet, calm, and a little bit bougie, in the best way. You know, like us! (JK – we aren’t quiet, calm, or bougie, but we do like it here!).
This isn’t a huge space, but we’ve never had an issue snagging a seat at the bar. The cocktails are strong, the bartenders are friendly, and the fact that you can order food (without needing a reservation for the full restaurant) makes this a nice option for a last-minute “nice’ dinner, too.
Dahlia Lounge (Gran Destino Tower, Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort)
Best For: Rooftop Views, Convention Escape, Grown-Up Drinks
Reservations: Walk-up only
Food Available: Small plates (sliders, artisanal cheeses, Spanish charcuterie)
Favorite Drink: El Pepino (Mahón Gin, Ancho Reyes Verde Chile Poblano Liqueur, St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur, Lime, and Cucumber)
Link to menu »
Pro Tip: Get there before sunset to grab a patio seat, and stay for the fireworks views.
We love, love, love the Gran Destino tower, and part of the reason we like it so much here is the Dahlia Lounge. The views from up there are some of the best on property, especially at sunset, and the cocktail list is more inventive than most resort lounges.
The inside space is a little wonky if we’re being honest, and it can get extra busy if Coronado Springs has a convention going on. But whenever we stay here we definitely make time to visit at least once because the drinks here are just that good.
Steakhouse 71 Lounge (Disney’s Contemporary Resort)
Best For: Strong Cocktails, Monorail Crawl, Pre-Fireworks Dinner
Reservations: Walk-up only for lounge; full dining room takes reservations
Food Available: “Lounge bites” including the Stack Burger (big enough to share) and onion rings
Favorite Drink: Espresso Martini (off-menu, but fantastic)
Link to menu »
Pro Tip: Arrive around 4:30–5:00 p.m. to grab a lounge seat before the dinner rush, and don’t skip the burger.
I’ve never seen Mad Men but in my mind, Steakhouse 71 is the kind of bar you might see some big deals taking place. It’s totally mid-century, which is a win in our books. Sleek without being stuffy, with fun drink options that fit the vibe plus good food.
Best Bars for a Chill Vibe
Sometimes you don’t want fireworks or fire-breathing bartenders. Sometimes you just want a comfortable chair, a solid drink, and maybe a breeze or a little shade. These are the bars we go to when we need to escape the crowds, take a breather between Lightning Lanes, or regroup after a long EPCOT crawl. No gimmicks, just genuinely good spots to relax and sip without a waitlist or fanfare.
Nomad Lounge (Disney’s Animal Kingdom)
Best For: Destination Bar, Hidden Gem, Park Break
Reservations: Walk-up with a mobile waitlist
Food Available: Small plates (sliders, churros, bread service)
Favorite Drink: Tempting Tigress (bourbon, tamarind, lime) and the Sangria
Link to menu »
Pro Tip: Join the walk-up list as soon as the park opens. If you have a preference where you’ll sit, you can tell the podium when you check-in and they’ll try to accomodate you.
This is the holy grail of in-park lounges. Tucked just outside Pandora, Nomad Lounge somehow doesn’t even FEEL like it is in a theme park. Inside, you’ve got cozy chairs, ceiling banners celebrating the spirit of travel, and air conditioning. Outside, the patio is shaded, serene, and overlooks the river.
The menu is constantly solid with small plates like sliders and churros that are tasty and the drinks lean adventurous in the best way (tamarind, cardamom, and other flavors you won’t find at most park bars).
For us, A trip to Disney World is not complete without spending a couple hours here. Bonus points if we get to spend time on the patio during a rain storm; that’s just about the perfect way to relax after a busy morning riding rides.
Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge (Disney’s Hollywood Studios)
Best For: Park Break, Walk-Up Cocktails, People Watching
Reservations: Walk-up only
Food Available: Derby bites (including the famous Cobb Salad)
Favorite Drink: Grapefruit Cake Martini
Link to menu »
Pro Tip: Grab a seat right before the afternoon lull (you can join a mobile walk-up list in the My Disney Experience app). You’ll miss the heat and the crowds and might snag a shaded table.
We love the Hollywood Brown Derby (primarily because we love the Cobb Salad), but we don’t always want to commit to a full sit-down Table Service meal. The Brown Derby Lounge is a nice alternative, because it gets us access to the Brown Derby menu without the time commitment. The lounge is outside, which isn’t the best in the middle of the day, but there are giant umbrellas and because of the location, it is pretty perfect for people watching.
As for the drinks, the Grapefruit Martini is like dessert in a glass, but the martini flights are also a fun option, especially if you’re drinking with a friend. If you’re doing a bar crawl at Hollywood Studios, this one makes a great early-afternoon stop.
Baseline Tap House (Hollywood Studios)
Best For: Destination Bar, Outdoor Seating, Craft Beer
Reservations: None
Food Available: Pretzel with beer cheese, charcuterie
Favorite Drink: Any of the beers and the California Sunset (vodka, Southern Comfort, orange juice, pomegranate float)
Link to menu »
Pro Tip: Get here before 3 p.m. to snag one of the few shaded tables outside.
Baseline Tap House is another spot that we hit every trip when we’re doing a little Bar Hopping at Hollywood Studios. It isn’t fancy, and the indoor seating is very minimal. But the outdoor patio is where it’s at, anyway. Not only is the people-watching from this spot on point, but outside you can chill while listening to their epic playlist, which is a mix of covers that are eclectically perfect. Check out our full review of BaseLine Tap House.
As for the drinks and grub, the beer list is all California craft brews and the pretzel is elite. There are also a couple of cocktail options, if you prefer that.
Geyser Point Bar & Grill (Disney’s Wilderness Lodge)
Best For: Destination Bar, Lakeside Vibes
Reservations: Walk-up only
Food Available: Full menu (bison burger, salmon, salads)
Favorite Drink: Huckleberry Punch ( Huckleberry Vodka, Bols Crème de Cassis, Lemon Juice and Cranberry Juice) and Northwest Iced Tea (bourbon, vodka, sweet tea)
Link to menu »
Pro Tip: Come for sunset or catch the Electrical Water Pageant from your seat.
This one’s a stunner. It’s open-air but totally covered, with cushy chairs, ceiling fans, views of Bay Lake, and food that rivals many table service restaurants. This is a great spot to escape to after a busy day at Magic Kingdom, but it is also popular. You can join a waitlist, though, if you get there and there’s a line.
Best Bars for Live Music or Entertainment
If you’re looking for a bar with something more, these spots all have live entertainment.
Scat Cat’s Club Lounge (Disney’s Port Orleans – French Quarter)
Best For: Hidden Gem, Live Entertainment, Beignets & Booze
Jazz club energy with a Disney twist. On weekends, this lounge transforms with live music, a dancing crowd, and the sweet smell of beignets in the air. Even on quieter nights, it’s a fun place to unwind with soulful vibes and spiked desserts.
River Roost Lounge (Disney’s Port Orleans – Riverside)
Best For: Live Entertainment, Resort Bar Crawl, Unique Vibe
This cozy little spot is home to Disney legend Yehaa Bob, whose high-energy piano shows are half comedy, half chaos, and 100% fun. Even when he’s off, it’s a great place for a low-key drink with a view of the resort’s charming interior.
The Edison (Disney Springs)
Best For: Nightlife, Live Entertainment, Industrial Vibes
Think steampunk nightclub meets dinner theater. You’ll find moody lighting, burlesque-inspired entertainment, and cocktails with flair. Go early for a chill vibe, or show up late when the energy ramps up.
Raglan Road Irish Pub (Disney Springs)
Best For: Live Music & Entertainment, Beer & Whiskey
Live Irish music, energetic dancers, and a bar that knows how to pour a proper pint, Raglan Road is rowdy in the best way. Perfect for groups or anyone looking to turn dinner into a party.
House of Blues Restaurant & Bar (Disney Springs)
Best For: Live Entertainment, Southern Vibes, Dinner + Concert Combo
This Southern-inspired bar and restaurant brings the grit and soul with a side of jambalaya. Live music plays most nights, either on the patio or inside the Music Hall, making it one of the few true concert venues on property.
Top Wine Bars at Disney World
Whether you’re in the mood for a wine flight with a view or a cozy cellar-style pour to escape the heat, these are our go-to picks for when a cocktail just won’t cut it.
Tutto Gusto Wine Cellar (EPCOT – Italy Pavilion)
Best For: Wine Lovers, Escape from the Heat, Romantic Vibes
This tucked-away wine bar inside the Italy Pavilion feels like a cool, candle-lit cellar – because it is. Over 200 wines, Italian cocktails, and a full menu of small plates make this one of EPCOT’s most underrated bars
Wine Bar George (Disney Springs)
Best For: Wine Lovers, Disney Springs Bar Crawl
If a Master Sommelier opened a wine bar at Disney and made it actually fun, this would be it. Wine Bar George is sophisticated without being stuffy, with a wine list that somehow feels both massive and approachable. Whether you’re there for a chilled glass on the patio or a full wine flight with small plates, it’s one of the most reliably excellent spots in all of Disney Springs.
Best Poolside & Waterfront Bars at Disney World
Sometimes, all you want is a breeze off the water, a strong drink in hand, and somewhere to sit that doesn’t smell like popcorn and strollers. These bars are all about location, whether it’s lakeside, dockside, or pool-adjacent.
Banana Cabana (Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort)
Best For: Skyliner Crawl, Caribbean Vibes
Don’t be fooled by the casual poolside setting. Banana Cabana is one of the most beloved bars on property. The bartenders are fun, the music is lively, and the drinks lean tropical without being too sugary. It’s bright, laid-back, and totally on theme. (Plus they have rum flights here!)
Dockside Bar at The BOATHOUSE (Disney Springs)
Best For: Waterfront Views, Disney Springs Crawl, Breezy Vibes
It’s all about the setting here, perched on a dock with prime people-watching and a breeze off the water. The drink menu is solid and the vibes are unmatched, especially at sunset.
Bar Riva (Disney’s Riviera Resort)
Best For: Skyliner Crawl, Al Fresco Drinks, Light Bites
Bright, breezy, and a little bit bougie, Bar Riva is the Riviera Resort’s open-air lounge with a Mediterranean vibe. Great cocktails, colorful tiles, and a menu that’s more French Riviera than pool bar. Easy to reach via Skyliner = bonus.
Three Bridges Bar & Grill (Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort)
Best For: Destination Bar, Romantic Vibes, Great Food
Sitting in the middle of a lake, connected by, you guessed it, three bridges, this open-air restaurant and bar is dreamy at night. Fire pits, soft music, and killer cocktails make it a go-to for couples and friend groups alike.
Underrated Resort Lounges That Are Worth a Visit
These aren’t the flashiest bars at Disney, but they’re some of the most relaxing. If you’re looking for a low-key drink away from the crowds (and without a waitlist), these hidden gems at the resorts totally deliver.
Crew’s Cup Lounge (Disney’s Yacht Club Resort)
Best For: Hidden Gem, Steakhouse Vibes, Chill Lounge Time
A cozy, wood-paneled hideaway tucked beside Yachtsman Steakhouse. It feels like an old-school steakhouse bar, complete with leather booths, moody lighting, and a calm, grown-up vibe.
Victoria Falls Lounge (Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge – Jambo House)
Best For: Hidden Gem, Wine Lovers
Overlooking the Boma buffet, this mellow lounge features South African wines, waterfall sounds, and a relaxed vibe that feels like a true escape from the parks.
Territory Lounge (Disney’s Wilderness Lodge)
Best For: Hidden Gem, Cozy Vibes, Wilderness Aesthetic
Dark woods, carved bears, and Pacific Northwest charm, this one feels like a warm cabin retreat. Especially great in the cooler months or after a boat ride from Magic Kingdom.
Ale & Compass Lounge (Disney’s Yacht Club Resort)
Best For: Hidden Gem, Pre-EPCOT Drinks, Quiet Escape
Steps from the lobby, this spot feels like a classic hotel bar in the best way. Quiet, dark, and a great stop for a whiskey pour before or after EPCOT.
Belle Vue Lounge (Disney’s BoardWalk Inn)
Best For: Hidden Gem, Early Morning Coffee, Vintage Vibes
A vintage-style parlor with 1940s flair, complete with bookshelves, antique radios, and hardly any crowds. Great for early mornings or nightcaps.
Martha’s Vineyard (Disney’s Beach Club Resort)
Best For: Hidden Gem, Quiet Escape, Pre-Dinner Sip
New England pub vibes in a super quiet little lounge that’s easy to miss, and that’s the charm. Ideal for a drink while waiting on a Beaches & Cream table.
Tambu Lounge (Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort)
Best For: Monorail Crawl, Classic Disney Drinks, Tiki Vibes
Right outside ‘Ohana and home to the legendary Lapu Lapu (served in a pineapple), this one can get busy but still feels like classic Disney tiki fun.
Outer Rim (Disney’s Contemporary Resort)
Best For: Hidden Gem, Resort Hopping Break, Fireworks Escape
Tucked behind Chef Mickey’s, this bar has floor-to-ceiling windows and a surprisingly peaceful view of Bay Lake. Totally underrated fireworks spot.
Sanaa Lounge (Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge – Kidani Village)
Best For: Hidden Gem, Foodie Favorites, Relaxed Resort Nights
Attached to the Sanaa restaurant, this spot serves the full menu (yes, the bread service) and overlooks the savanna. A favorite for foodies.
Turf Club Lounge (Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa)
Best For: Hidden Gem, Golf Day Drinks, Relaxed Vibes
A quiet lounge near the golf course and spa with horse-racing décor and a country club vibe. Super peaceful and easy to reach from Disney Springs.
