30 Best Bars in Lake Buena Vista

“Awesome place ! Gipsy was great too“

“Epilogue - the speakeasy at Four Seasons Orlando- was the most incredible cocktail experience I’ve ever had. Jacqueline, the bartender created some of the cocktails herself, each rooted in the history of Florida using local or local inspired ingredients. Each comes with its own story and unique serving. The speakeasy experience was fun, and well thought out and exclusive. Valerie, who sat us and explained the story of the bar set the tone for a night that really takes you back in time and on a cocktail journey. Incredible experience.. and I can’t wait to come back.“

“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 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.“

“One of our favorite spots in Disney Springs. Delicious food and a great atmosphere. Love that the pasta is made fresh in house. As much as we love Disney so much of the food is processed elsewhere and having fresh food is a treat in this part of the world!“

“This was our first visit to Mardi Grogs but it won't be our last. Our bartender, Tim, was marvelous; very friendly and funny. He introduced us to a Knob Creek Bourbon that is specially made for Disney. It was excellent! If you're a bourbon drinker, you must try this. If we lived in the area this would be one of our regular hangouts!“

“This little drink shack packs a powerful punch - literally - with everything from daiquiris to beers and a full bar. Sometimes the line can be a little long and if so, there are other places to buy booze on the right and the left - you can even get drinks at the produce market next door. Convenience comes to mind here. ?“

“We came up to check it out as we have not been here before. Beginning of July and on a Saturday night. Also our first time a Bay Lake - our home resort is OKW) We opted for drinks to go, as we had dinner reservations already. I got the Cursed Pirate. It was extremely sweet, but good. I decided to get mine on the rocks vs martini style. It helped keep it cool and cut a bit of the sweetness down. Would definitely get it again. The views were awesome! The back overlooks the courtyard and pool, as well as Bay Lake and you can see Discovery Island. The front had a great view of the park, as well as some of the resorts around the lagoon. I bet the fireworks are great up there. They had an outside bar that never had a long wait, also nice the bartender remembered our drink order as we came and got drinks to go after dinner. Service was top notch! The kids were too short to look over the ledge outside, but I would consider this place as an adult environment.

Seating is very limited, definitely get a reservation. The bar is first come first serve, but you can be added to the wait list for those as well.

The vibe was lacking. The Villians Lair consisted of some villain pictures and the resemblance of a slide show on the TV.

Would love to come back here for food, drinks and *no* kids?“

“Drinking a beer by the pool is always synonymous with a good time. If in addition the choice of beer is interesting and the place well laid out, the moment is all the more interesting.We didn't order food, because it's still "standard" snacks.“

“Great little poolside cafe at the Hilton. Nice assortment of light bites and snacks. Reasonable prices for the area and the food was really good! Everyone in our party of 4 was happy. Particularly enjoyed the Quesadillas and Rum Largo Salad. Also nice service.“

“just sitting overlooking the water“

“This is such a great spot. Perfect little walk up bar right by Everest. We’ve never waited in line but we’ve always ended up seeing a line after we’ve ordered so maybe that’s just luck of the draw. The bartenders are really great and can make accommodations upon request. For example, there was a drink I was really interested in but it had whiskey and I’m just not a fan. She recommended a replacement and adjusted the recipe accordingly. It was amazing and I ended up going back for a second. The only reason I can’t give all 5 stars and I truly believe Disney waters down its booze (and I get why, but it offends me lol)“

“Fabulous bar service with an equally fabulous outdoor seating area for a drink“

“We stayed at this Disney property for 3 days in May. Nice hotel, good for kids and excellent transportation to all the parks. Rooms could use updating, little musty odor with comfortable beds. There is a McDonald’s right outside the entrance to make breakfast a little cheaper since food in the Disney hotels is expensive. The hotel has 2 nice size pools for the family to enjoy. There are better, nicer and more modern hotels inside Disney but they come with a larger price. So if you want to spend less per night , have the Disney experience “ very friendly staff”, and use there free transportation then this is a good option.“

“This is by far the best food I've had at the Swan/Dolphin resort, as many other places have been a disappointment with quality, flavor and service. The flavor and quality of food was great, the service by Mary was outstanding and the ambiance at night was delightful. We ordered the Caesar Salad w/chicken and Margherita flatbread and they both far exceeded our expectations. The chicken was seasoned very well and it was cooked to perfection. We also enjoyed the Caesar dressing very much. I highly recommend dining here during your stay, this will definitely be our go to for the remainder of our time here.“

“First time in Disney for 15 years, and for a "budget" is fantastic ! Well themed sky liner resort. Beds are so comfy, just what you need after a long day in the parks. The food court is great, but It can get a little repeative if you're there for 14 days. 3 awesome pools, plenty of benches to sit by hour glass lake and watch the world go by and relax. 5-10 minute walk to the skyliner station. I'm An uber from Orlando Airport was $55 and took about 40 mins in the late afternoon/ evening. September 2022“

“I chose a very difficult piece of piano music they had never heard. They came out and followed the whole structure of the song almost to the T. This was not an easy song. Highly recommend. These guys are born to boogie on the piano.“

“Just had a much needed break from the crowds, great view“

“Reasonably priced and located near the water with views of the floating electric parade. The only downside is that it is entirely outdoors so it can be uncomfortably hot or cold. It's not connected to the main lodge so if it's raining, you'll get wet walking here. My favorite was the campfire mousse. Beautiful and delicious.“

“Super nice atmosphere and staff. Had calamari and chicken wings tapas topped with chocolate sauce churros and orange flancocho desserts. Holy cow, it was all perfect. Paired with the Tequila Daisy cocktail, it was the best way to finish a day at Disney!“

“Nice pool for kids and adults. Nice bar for the adults. Great day for in between park visits. Big slide for the kids, hot tub and toddlers splash area. They have it all here.“

“This is a really picturesque place to enjoy a meal and drinks. It was fun to try all of the sangria's, but I'd only go back for the sparkling.

Kid-friendliness: It's Disney, of course it's kid friendly. They have high chairs and a kids menu.“

“Great tasting salad. However was disappointed that they no longer carry Tusker beer. Our server said it was taken out a while ago, before he worked there. So then pls update the menu on your website.“

“Once again I'm impressed with this Four Seasons property. Every restaurant and experience has been exceptional. The lunch at PB&G was exceptional. We had exemplary service in a beautiful outdoor setting! The food was delicious and libations creative. This property continues to impress me.“

“Marcus and Karrin were exceptionally attentive to all needs and recommendations were on point. Karrin is a fabulous mixologist. Cocktails were on point. Go enjoy a meal here.“

“The service can take a while depending when you go, but the food is delicious. The pineapple bread is a must-have, and the desserts are excellent!“

“Fun atmosphere with great drinks for the pool.“

“Great fun for all the ages of our group from 7 to 70.“

“They do a great job! Never disappointed!“
