Rose & Crown Pub isn’t a hidden gem, but it IS a rite of passage. If you’ve ever spent time with Disney Day Drinkers or done even one halfway-serious lap around the World Showcase, you already know: this place delivers every time.
It’s mostly standing-room only, loud in a good way, and one of the few spots in EPCOT where you can get a proper pint (or a delicious pub blend) without a reservation or a waitlist.
Whether you’re sipping a Snake Bite on the patio or knocking back a whisky flight inside, a trip to EPCOT would not be complete without a stop here.
TL;DR: Rose & Crown Pub
Loud, lively, and full of British beer. This EPCOT staple is one of the best spots to drink like a local, if that local loves beer. No reservations needed, but go early if you want a spot on the patio. Food? Nope. But the pub blends and whisky flights more than make up for it.
Top 5 Drinks to Order:
- Snake Bite – Half cider, half Harp Lager. Easy to love.
- Black Velvet – Half Strongbow, half Guinness. Smooth and surprisingly balanced.
- Imperial Sampler – Four small pours of classic British beers. Great intro or shareable round.
- Macallan Whisky Flight – 12, 15, and 18 yr pours for when you’re feeling fancy.
- Leaping Leprechaun – A chaotic, crowd-pleasing mix of whiskey, rum, vodka, melon liqueur, and Sprite®.
The Vibe
Located in the United Kingdom pavilion at EPCOT, the Rose & Crown Pub is small, usually packed, and absolutely beloved by Disney drinkers. It’s got standing-room energy and bartenders who are constantly hustling, filling drink after drink.
Inside, you’ll find dark wood paneling, classic pub decor, and just enough elbow room to order, cheers, and lean casually against something while you chug sip your beer.
There are a few tables where you can sit, plus a few that are standing room only.
Pro tip: You can sit in the attached dining room up until mid-afternoon (when they close it down for restaurant seating only). Sometimes they even have live entertainment with a piano player!
Outside? There’s a handful of patio tables that are our go-to when we want a place to chill and people watch. These fill fast later in the afternoon, but if you time it right, the patio is one of the best places to take a break and people-watch across the UK pavilion.
This isn’t a lounge. It’s a pub. You’ll stand, you’ll be surrounded, and you’ll be happy about it. Or else.
What to Drink at Rose & Crown Pub (Menu)
Let’s start with the classics. This is one of the few spots in EPCOT where you can grab a real pint of beer, not a tiny plastic cup masquerading as a pour.
They offer a full lineup of British imports plus a mix of pub blends (2 beers mixed together), whisky flights, and a few cocktails that are either exactly what you need or a mistake you won’t regret until France.
Rose & Crown Menu
Imperial Pints
These are full-sized, proper pints of British beer. Your options include:
- Guinness Stout
- Harp Lager
- Strongbow Cider
- Smithwick’s
- Old Speckled Hen Pale Ale
- Bombardier Amber
Or go for the Imperial Sampler and try four of them in smaller pours for $14.75. This is a great option for a first round if you aren’t sure what to get.
Pub Blends
This is where it gets fun. Pub blends are half-and-half combos of different beers and ciders, and they’re surprisingly good.
All of these are around $11.25 each for a pint:
- Black Velvet (Half cider, half Guinness) – also available in a souvenir stein if you’re feeling fancy
- Snake Bite (Half cider, half Harp Lager)
- Golden Fox (Half Old Speckled Hen, half Bombardier)
- Irish Hen (Half Old Speckled Hen, half Guinness)
- Golden (Half Harp and Half Bombadier Amber)
- Half & Half (Half Harp Lager and Half Guinness Stout)
- Cider & Blackcurrant (Cider with a shot of Black Currant Juice)
- Shandy (Half Sprite® and Half Harp Lager)
- Blacksmith (Half Smithwick’s and Half Guinness)
- Bombadier & Guiness (Half Bombadier Amber and Half Guinness Stout)
Whisky & Flights
If you’re not into beer, this is still a killer spot to grab a pour of something strong. You can order individual 2 oz pours of high-end Scotch and Cognac, or go big with one of the curated whisky flights, like:
- Irish Whisky Flight – Tullamore Dew, Jameson, Bushmills ($19.00)
- Single Malt Flight – Glenkinchie, Oban, Lagavulin ($22.50)
- Macallan Flight – 12 yr, 15 yr, 18 yr ($26.50)
Or, if you’re trying to impress your in-laws or yourself:
- Johnnie Walker Blue or Macallan 18 yr – $40.50 each, and worth it if you want something smooth and spendy.
Pub Cocktails
Some of these are delicious. Some of these are chaos in a cup. All of them are popular:
- Leaping Leprechaun – Whiskey, rum, vodka, melon liqueur, and Sprite®. It’s giving Jungle Juice energy.
- Cider and Fireball – Served in a souvenir cup. It’s got Fireball and ginger ale, so you know what you’re getting into.
- Welsh Dragon – Peach, melon, crème de menthe, OJ, pineapple. Very green. Very fruity.
- Pimm’s Cup – Classic and refreshing, made with Pimm’s No. 1 and Sprite®. A safe choice if you don’t want a sugar crash before Germany.
Is There Food?
The pub itself doesn’t serve food, though you’re a few feet away from Yorkshire County Fish Shop, where you can grab fish and chips and carry them back to your shady patio table like the international snack you are.
Looking for the dining room? That’s a separate experience (attached to the pub) with actual tables, servers, and desserts, and it’s great if you can snag a fireworks dining package reservation, but on most trips we’re not here for that. We’re here for that English pub experience with a crowded bar and cold beer.
Pro Tips for Drinking at Rose & Crown Pub
- No reservation needed – The pub is walk-up only, which makes it perfect for spontaneous stops.
- Go earlier in the day – It gets crowded fast, especially around lunch and dinner hours. If you want space to breathe (or lean), shoot for 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
- Yes, you can take your drink and go – Don’t feel like staying? Grab a pint and stroll. Just keep it classy.
- Patio = gold – If you see an open table outside, take it. They go fast, and the views are great.
