36 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.“

“Awesome place ! Gipsy was great too“

“Always make you feel special and love the happy hour“

“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.“

“Jeremy and Ricky were excellent behind the bar. I would highly recommend sitting at the bar. The staffs knowledge of cocktails and pairings was top notch. Jeremy’s off menu Christmas old fashioned and Ricky’s carajillo old fashioned, were some of the best drinks I’ve ever had!“

“Went here with my grandparents and were greeted by Marcia and Shelly who were lovely and welcoming. We went every day and were always greeted with the same smile and service. Sadly the manager who worked there I didn’t catch his name he was also lovely and I went so often they gave me a free drink which was so kind. They shared stories and jokes which kept us entertained. Would recommend.“

“Recommended. I don't say that lightly being that it is in Disney, where things seem to be always overpriced and sometimes really good-usually when even higher in price, good enough, and then sometimes very bad, especially for the portion and price. This place seemed different. Very friendly people first of all. Ate here twice, with Aaron and Paige taking great care of us. They were both very personable and very nice. Nothing fancy, but does it really have to be after you have been out walking at a park all day?Cuban sandwich- excellent, jerk chicken sandwich- excellent, wings- really good, fries- really good, along with a couple of beers and a couple of mixed drinks. Like anywhere inside Disney, the drinks are way overpriced so that is what it is. But the food was really excellent, for a kind of normal price, and the atmosphere and vibe was more than expected and very pleasant. Felt very laid-back and comfortable. Would go back.“

“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. ?“

“Nice, chill addition to Fort Wilderness“

“Muddy Rivers Pool Bar at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort is exactly what a Disney pool day should feel like. Relaxed, fun, and just enough energy without being chaotic. It’s located right by the main pool, so you can keep an eye on the kids while still enjoying an actual adult beverage, which is a rare Disney win.

Ken behind the bar is the real deal. Friendly, quick, and knows his cocktails. He made some of the best specialty drinks we’ve had on Disney property. Full bar, great frozen options, strong pours, and the presentation was on point. If you’re staying at Port Orleans Riverside or French Quarter, this spot is a must between park days.

The atmosphere is perfect for families. Kids are splashing around, music playing, palm trees swaying, and you’re sitting there with a legit craft cocktail instead of a watered down theme park drink. It feels like a little vacation inside your vacation.

If you’re looking for the best pool bar at Disney’s Port Orleans, Muddy Rivers delivers. Great drinks, great service, and a laid back vibe that makes you want to hang out longer than you planned. Ask for Ken. You’ll be glad you did.“

“The quick bite pool bar with alcoholic drinks.

Has a TV playing whatever ask.

People are very friendly and great service. The bar thunder gave my little grandson a Mickey ice cream bar. Amazing gesture out of the blue!

Food is a unique take on an African theme.“

“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)“

“Great location right on the water with plenty of seating.
The margaritas were nice and cold and refreshing on a warm day.
The server was quick and didn’t talk apart from asking us what we wanted, but that was understandable due to a line.
Stop by and enjoy a relaxing drink.“

“just sitting overlooking the water“

“Villains Lair is the place for an evening drink, fantastic view of the sunset, and incredible look at Magic Kingdom and as far as the eye can see. If you can't get a reservation then jump on the elevator to the 16th floor as soon as it opens at 6pm, order a drink and maybe an appetizer, then admire the atmosphere until they start seating the reservations.“

“Such a cute little spot! The Barcelona Lounge is tucked away just below the reception area at the Walt Disney Resort—you can take the stairs or the lift to get there. The glass walls give you a really nice view of the water, which makes it a lovely place to just sit and relax. I stopped by for coffee and a small bite, and it hit the spot. Just keep in mind they have specific serving times, so you might not always get food service, but it's still a great place to hang out or get some work done while you're waiting for a ride or between meetings. The staff was super friendly too!“

“Strong Margaritas and the Best View🌅“

“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…“

“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“

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

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

“Love this place, the ambiance is great, great jazz music and the beignets were delicious!“

“Brooke was a wonderful server. The whiskey sour was delicious and my mother loved the black cherry mule. The area is open so birds sometimes come in and attempt to steal food, but you're fine if you don't hold out chips or anything. The ribeye sandwich was fantastic and their house made chips were nice and crispy“

“Such an Amazon place to relax and unwind and friendly staff too!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“This was a nice and quiet lounge to hang out at. The staff members were awesome and the views are as well. The food was ok and the drinks were great. I liked that you have options to make your own old fashioned. Was also nice that you can see the fireworks from Epcot while being up there as well. Will definitely be back.“

“Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Everything was very good and the setting is magnificent. Only negative is that they do not take reservations, so you might have a wait after you arrive. We got there at 6p and were seated at the last available table. They are only open for dinner, opening 4:30p.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Fun atmosphere with great drinks for the pool.“

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

“We came across this spot while cruising around Epcot and were intrigued by the plant based bratwurst option with chips. When we originally looked at the menu, we didn’t see that option however we were informed that they can make a plant based option but it’s a bit of a wait, about 20 minutes. We decided to do the quick service option to get the bratwurst (I mean I don’t know where else I can get a plant based option for this!) and it did not disappoint! The value for the items were amazing! I’ve read many reviews saying that it’s expensive, but I think the value for the meal is great, especially if you want to try different options at Epcot, the price is decent! The atmosphere was very lovely as well, very fun. The staff were so lovely also, 10/10 experience! Even if you aren’t on a vegetarian diet, I’d recommend giving it a shot! Don’t forget to grab your free cup of water to go along with your meal. I can’t wait to visit again, maybe this time I’ll sit in.“

“They do a great job! Never disappointed!“
