50 Best Bars near Bay Lake

“Such a great experience here on the water at the Coronado Springs Resort at the Three Bridges Restaurant. We got to sample 4 different Sangria’s and eat some guacamole and chips while we were entertained and taught all about Sangria and how it’s made and where it comes from. Afterwards, we got to create our own and sample it. So much fun and definitely worth the money. We had such a great teacher also, who unfortunately was teaching her last class. She will be over at the new Polynesian Tower so definitely make sure you visit that restaurant once it opens. Her name was Jaime!!“

“Valeria was a wonderful server. She was very attentive to special requests and food restrictions needs due to allergies. The food was excellent too. Get the trifasico and ask for all the sauces!“

“Nos gustó mucho, pedimos clvarios platos, lo único que nos encontramos poca cantidad es en los Chicharrones bites en comparación precio-porcion. pero muy rica la comida y buen servicio.“

“Great atmosphere and great steak!!“

“Una comida deliciosa, atención al cliente perfecta por Estefania quien nos atendió. Recomendamos este restaurante a todos quien como nosotros estamos de visita por Orlando. Comparando precio con calidad y cantidad muy bueno. Le daría 10 estrellas. Además tienen un pequeño espacio para que los niños jueguen.“

“The best place in America for a fallout/madmax fan to grab a delicious drink for a few caps! The nukacola quantum is to die for and the guzzaline is the bomb! And the decore is absolutely top notch! Best birthday ever! My gf (DD) was able to get the guzzaline non alcoholic which I also tried, it was very delicious. The quantum was the perfect amount of strong and smooth! Great for alcoholic and non alcoholic drinkers everywhere! 10/10“

“Awesome place ! Gipsy was great too“

“We stumbled upon Ice Bar Orlando quite randomly after catching a basketball game, and I’m so glad we did! Looking for a unique bar experience to cap off our night, we found exactly what we were hoping for.

From the moment we walked in, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They were attentive and eager to share their recommendations, which added to the overall positive vibe of the place. The drinks? Absolutely amazing! Each one was crafted with care and creativity, and we loved trying different cocktails.

The ice bar itself is what truly sets this place apart. The chilly atmosphere and cool ice sculptures create a one-of-a-kind environment that you won’t find anywhere else. However, I highly recommend wearing the jacket or renting a fur coat if you decide to visit—I thought I could tough it out without one, but let’s just say it was freezing! 😂 It’s all part of the fun, though, and definitely adds to the unique experience.

Overall, Ice Bar Orlando is a cool, quirky spot that’s perfect for a night out with friends or a fun date night.“

“The Amador has an elegant touch, it's an Upscale venue with Grown & Sexy feel. Definitely a place to be each time they host an event.“

“Great food and people! Even if you go alone, you will definitely find someone to interact with. DJ every night. pool tables, darts, and even a quarter machine! Love the bartenders! They are always so friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend.“

“We only had drinks here, but I have only positive things to say. The drinks were fantastic - exactly as strong as expected, and the atmosphere is nice, if not perfect.

Very much recommended.

NOTE: This is a review of the outdoor space, not the themed indoor space.“

“I love this place there is always good live music, good drinks, karaoke, also food, sometimes bingo music games, and very good atmosphere for friends who love live music and want to have a great time!, I recommend this place 💯“

“Always a great time. Barmaids are friendly and the food is delicious“

“1845 Tap House is a great locally owned and operated business! Go see them and you will not be disappointed!“

“ci si rilassa si può mangiare qualcosa e divertirsi con gli amici. buon locale“

“The hopping pot has a great assortment of drinks and three types of hand pies (half circle pie crust), veggies, chicken and beef. They are hand size for $10.
They sell gillywater which is just bottled water, but if you ask for a cup of water they will give you a plastic cup full of ice water for free.“

“We stopped in tonight- happy hour drinks, great food and friendly staff!“

“The best bar in kissimmee, heck, the best in orlando., the manageress ma is great fun and her attitude shows on her staff who all seem to enjoy being there. Matt and Dana are fantastic and very personable.... Havnt tried the food but it looks fabulous... Highly recommend“

“I was looking for live music and loved my night at Howl at the Moon Orlando! The dueling pianos were a blast—nonstop energy, and they played many of my favorite songs and a few new ones. The staff was super friendly and had some great non-alcoholic drink options. The smallest drink was enough for me, so it was a good value for a night of blissful entertainment. The crowd was so much fun, including a few international tourists dancing around and just adding to the good times. It is the perfect spot for a lively night out. I can’t wait to come back!“

“Murph is the best there is! He brings a sense of personality to everyone that travels to see him! His mission is clear! To make visitors happy and he shark 🦈 bites it every time!! Incredible atmosphere and the perfect bartender! The perfect blend! Askkkk for the ocean attack drink! Go see Murph for the magic!!“

“fabulous place to eat, and drink. Food was delicious, fresh made and the service was excellent.“

“This Tiki bar is my home away from home at the pool in Mystic Dunes Golf and country club in Kissimmee FL. I have been vacationing here for over 25 years. I feel more at home and comfortable here than in my own place. The kids love having fun at the pool, and the Tiki bar sells good food and awesome drinks. All attractions are within minutes away, and Clearwater Beach is only a 1 & 1/2 hour ride away. The pool has a waterfall and a slide.“

“Kidani Village is our favorite resort! It was so peaceful to come back to after a long day. The views are incredible and the staff is spectacular.“

“Have a fun time with Steve and crew!“

“We ended up at the Signia due to having to book another hotel when my wife became poorly on holiday and we had to extend our stay in Orlando. This place is absolutely fantastic, I genuinely mean that. The lobby and reception area is bright and breezy with a lovely snack shop selling coffee and allsorts of treats. We had just the basic double queen room, but they are really nicely set out and decorated. The pool area is fantastic with a lazy river and a decent kids slide. We loved hanging at the Beech bar ? Our favourite part of our stay was the buffet breakfast. The selection and quality is just fantastic, helped along by some wonderful staff who made the whole breakfast experience just the most perfect start to the day. When we come back to the Disney area again, we will absolutely try to fit in some days at the Signia, it's a lovely calm against the happy chaos of Disney ?“

“I go with my mom and our friend for special occasions and it is always exceptional. Last time we went, we went to celebrate a belated Mother’s Day. Yaileen was our server and she is absolutely fabulous!! We have had her before and she always makes our experience unforgettable. Her drink and food recommendations were spot on for everyone and she the sweetest. We will definitely be going back again and again.“

“We were delighted by how good the 4 person chicken and rib platter is. Warren from NYC was the host at the front, and he was so kind and patient. He helped us pick our lunch, and made sure we got the complimentary water. His suggestion for pumpkin juice was such a perfect surprise! Thank you!“

“The Hamlin location took amazing care of us today. We had to request a change of seating as we had some mobility issues within our party and they did it without any issue. I managed to spill my drink and the waitress was super relaxed with getting me a damp rag to clean it up. We ordered a drink not realizing it was smoked and they swapped it for us as we had a massive allergy issue in our party. I promise we aren’t usually so high maintenance but when I say they rolled with our oddly chaotic punches I deeply appreciated it. It’s the end of 2024 and I’m so proud of these folks for being on their ‘A’ game and accommodating us. Good food. Good service. Good time all around. I hope these rockstar servers hand an absolutely amazing 2025.“

“Fun place and hidden gem. Sitting outside is really cool because you can see the fireworks at the Magic Kingdom at night or you can sit at the bar or any of the lounges around the bar.

Food is low priced given the standards of Disney dining and tastes great. You can’t make a reservation here so you just have to join the walk up list. Will be back very soon! :)“

“Adriana is a wonderful and kind server. Good atmosphere for the location“

“Hands down THE best espresso martini in all of Orlando is found here! Chopin Vodka, SelvaRey Chocolate Rum, Owen's Nitro Espresso are in perfect harmony for this drink. I always come here for a drink before a show at Hard Rock and it never disappoints. Service is excellent and the light bites are good too. I suggest the charcuterie!“

“I want to tell you that Jose is the absolute Best bartender and is so very kind and knowledgeable. The bar manager Oriana is also top notch and very customer oriented and very friendly. Over all this is an awesome experience and awesome food and atmosphere“

“Great place and very private . We had a great time.“

“Nice, chill addition to Fort Wilderness“

“Overall service was great and had a wonderful time. Our server from Tropics, Paige Y. was awesome. She was very attentive during our daycation and went over and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. The food was brought on time despite the fact we went during busy season. We recommend Hilton and ask for Paige as your server, you will not regret it.“

“This place is great. We had an event during a conference and Luige and team were awesome. The best daiquiris, tapas like the shrimp ceviche and guava meatballs so good. They took great care of us and our guests. I would always come back to the Rum Bar at the Caribe Royale.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free options that are delicious“

“Great hotel will be back nice people very good staff always were quick with anything great valet highly recommend Darvis great employee beautiful hotel all over“

“We went to the park for my best friends birthday and found the Watering Hole. Its the only bar in the area that offers mixed cocktails, so we were happy to find it. Our first round we ordered some cocktails off the menu. They were delish. The second round we had Heather as our bartender. Her drink recommendations were on point! Plus, she was super friendly and hilarious. We went back to her every time. She really made our day there. We will come back and see her every time. Highly recommend!“

“A lovely quiet resort, immaculately presented and close to Disney Springs. We had a studio which was great for our family, really spacious. Lots of storage and useful kitchenette. Daily housekeeping was great, plentiful supply of towels, coffee, soaps etc. Wider resort was lovely to walk around. We were in Paddock which is a good distance between the main springs area and Disney springs. The pool area in paddock has a slide and kids splash park with a great bar, which has a drinks station for resort mugs open till 10. Buses were not full as we were on stop 3, not far to walk to our room in block 5. Used the artists palette for a few supplies and one breakfast. Nice but there were better quick serve food selections in non DVC resorts. All staff were great, quick to help and made our stay a breeze. Wouldn’t hesitate to return or recommend, but more resorts to try out yet.“

“We came here for our anniversary and had my sights on this place for a while (I love Cajun food). We had a bit of a snafu and didn't bring our IDs and were carded (we had been in Florida a week at this point and this was the first time we were asked to prove id 😂), we were a little frustrated at first but obviously we realize the waitress was doing her duty and would not wanted her to get in any sort of trouble on our account. The restaurant manager apologized and included our desserts for the night, certainly he was under no obligation to do so we really appreciated the gesture...one of the piano players congratulated us (along with the room) and a couple in the room ended up paying for our meal. Needless to say we were astonished by the back to back gestures...will definitely pay it forward to another couple down the road.

All that aside our food was great. I've seen some remarks about portions but from my perspective the portions coincided neatly with the value of the meal (and we thought this before even requesting our check). My wife got the jambalaya and I got the crawfish Étouffée. I think I like her jambalaya slightly more but the Étouffée was still really good. Thank you Pat Obrien's staff, the customers, and pianists for making our night memorable, this is definitely a must stop at if were ever at Universal City Walk.“

“You haven't lived until you try their starwberry daiquiris. And then, do that while sitting poolside with them blaring "We Don't Talk About Bruno"The prices were what I expected to be: it's Disney World after all. But 10/10 would recommend“

“We try to do the Wicked Winedown at the Villains Lair when we are here! We were greeted by an enthusiastic person Scooter, who was helpful and friendly with plenty of energy! His personality set the tone for rest of the night for us! Our server Dave was polite, friendly and helpful as well! The food was delicious! Watching the fireworks always a good time. Can’t wait to come back again. We have done this at least four times if not more hard to remember. As long as DVC hosts it we will enjoy it! Thanks for another good night! Included some pictures of our food and drinks!“

“Classic lobby bar of the large resort.. nothing special about. Their hazy IPA of local small-batch brewery was delicious as well as margarita. Ask for glass instead of that horrible plastic. Anyway.. friendly and tolkative bartender recommended us very good place to eat out what we really did enjoy.“

“Solid 4

Absolutely perfect spot in terms of convenience and service right at the main pool at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. If you’re looking to lounge all day without ever having to leave your recliner, this place delivers exactly that. We were lucky to have Margaret (from Poland) as our server; she was friendly, attentive, and quick to take our order. Impressively, the food arrived almost immediately. While it’s likely pre-prepared, it was still fresh, hot, and surprisingly flavorful, not always a given for poolside dining.

What really sets this place apart is the effortless experience. You don’t have to get dressed, dry off, or trek anywhere. You can just relax by the water and have a well portioned meal brought right to you. It’s the ideal solution for those pool days when you’re perfectly content where you are but still want something good to eat.

Highly recommend if you’re in the mood for something quick, satisfying, and super convenient without having to leave the pool area or make a whole production of going to a restaurant.“

“Beautiful resort! My kids enjoyed the waterpark. Will definitely be back!“

“We enjoyed the food from here mostly. On our first night of dinner we tried for Mango BBQ grilled Wings and the Jamaican Jerk grilled wings. The mango bbq wings didn’t have enough of a prominent mango flavor for them to be considered mango bbq, they just taste like regular bbq wings but they were grilled nicely. The Jamaican jerk wings were awful. It almost taste like someone dropped the seasoning on the wings and tried to fix it, it was such an intense flavor in not a good way. We also got the Loaded Fries and those were delicious! We almost got them a second time but we wanted to try something new. We also got the coconut pineapple bread pudding for dessert and oh my gosh, I had to get that again the next night cause it was so delicious. So the next night aside from that bread pudding we got the Banana Cabana Burger and the guava buffalo grilled wings and both were good. The burger won it for us! 20/10, that thing was delicious! The guava buffalo wings were very good but again didn’t have enough of a guava flavor to be considered guava buffalo. Overall, would recommend you try. The firework views at dinner time were amazing.“

“Good (4/5): we ordered two hot dogs and the nachos. We loved the shredded pork nachos as they tasted like an African spice nacho. The hot dogs were footlong hotdogs and we ordered them plain. The bartender was so helpful and offered us free non-alcoholic Pina Colada because he made too much by accident. It was delicious!!!

Service (5/5) the staff were nice, helpful and kind. Victor was our staff and he was terrific! Granted we went on 12/20 at 630pm and there were barely any customers at the pool.

Atmosphere (4/5): very nice area near the swimming pool. Bar seats and pool seating.“

“Andy and Garret are amazing. Great at their jobs and are awesome at socializing. Please go see them!! You won’t regret it!❤️❤️

Edit: I visited 3 months ago and made this review. I would like to add that Andy was awesome yet again. Hard worker and very good at his job!“

“Food was good, service good, and view and atmosphere is amazing.“

“This is our first time staying at the Rosen Inn, I could not fault anything during our stay. Room may be a little dated but was clean and comfortable, only spending time in it to sleep. An excellent base, with Disney and Universal being close by. In walking distance of many shops and restaurants. Staff go above and beyond to make your stay the best. I would definitely recommend Rosen Inn to larger families looking for a good priced hotel. On site restaurants had a good variety of food at a fair price. I will definitely use this hotel for our next adventure to Disney“
