13 Best Bars in Lake Buena Vista

“A Flavorful Evening with Stellar Service We stopped in for apps and drinks this evening and had a fantastic experience. Our server, Nayeli, was outstanding—attentive, knowledgeable, and quick with spot-on recommendations. The clothesline bacon was a definite highlight. A savory-sweet indulgence, but what really surprised me was the rosemary garnish. Just a touch of it with each bite completely opened up the flavor—adding a subtle, aromatic layer that elevated the whole dish. It's an unexpected twist that truly works. Also, shoutout to the bar: the scotch Old Fashioned was one of the best I’ve had—easily in my top five. Balanced, smooth, and clearly made with intention. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates bold flavors, thoughtful cocktails, and sharp, attentive service. We’ll absolutely be back.“

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

“Awesome place ! Gipsy was great too“

“If I could give the team 100 stars I would. The entire experience was without question truly wonderful. I won't spoil it at all for anyone and would just say go and experience it for yourself; you won't regret it! Tell Kurt that G sent you and leave your phone in your pocket because you can't take pics and that was a great part of the experience as well.“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“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 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 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!“

“Justin our waiter was amazing! He answered all our questions and was great to just talk with him… He is VERY knowledgeable and all around amazing waiter… He went above and beyond for us we will always request him…“
