“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.”

3 Wailulu Bar & Grill

4.4 Superb 198 Reviews

1600 Seven Seas Drive, Lake Buena Vista

“Enjoying a perfect location on the waterfront, Wailulu is a great place to grab a cocktail along with a snack or a full meal. The bar has views across the Seven Seas Lagoon of the Contemporary Resort and the Magic Kingdom. My mai tai was refreshing, although the bar was out of the liquors needed for the specialty mai tai on the menu. Those around me raved about the banana old fashioned. Folks seemed to be enjoying the food as well, especially the burger. Bar seats and a few surrounding tables are open seating, but I'd recommend reservations for the restaurant seating.”

“Have you ever been to a restaurant where there’s a cohesive staff where there’s four team members that go above and beyond that actually take care of you and make sure that your food is good and that service is good? Let me tell you this restaurant there are four staff members back behind the bar who went above and beyond made sure we were taken care of made sure that our food was good. Made sure our drink stayed full and all around. They were actually great to be around. Dairis, Joe, Kaiya, Loraine were the four staff members were behind the bar and I would specifically come back for each and every single one of them. They were that good!!! So do yourself a favor go in just to see any of those four or all four together to see how well they work together because honestly again I would just go back for them alone. And yes, my tomahawk steak was good along with the asparagus and the potatoes. And the four of them made sure of that!!!”

7 On The Rocks Pool Bar

4.5 Superb 67 Reviews

1960 Broadway, Lake Buena Vista

“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.”

2201 Orleans Drive, Lake Buena Vista

“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.”

9 GEO-82

4.1 Good 117 Reviews

200 Epcot Center Drive, Lake Buena Vista

“We were lucky enough to get in and we were blown away. Not only was the atmosphere beautiful and futuristic, but the drinks and service was out of this world. Ricky was our bartender and he went above and beyond. Not only was he fun to talk to, but he provided us with creativity, education on Disney and cocktails, and amazing service. He even created us a unique cocktail based off of our liquor interests. If this was a bar within our town we would make it our local spot to go to just for his amazing service and creative cocktails.”

11 Sangria University

4.8 Superb 5 Reviews

1001 West Buena Vista Drive, Lake Buena Vista

“This is a must! Not sure why our event was held in the Toledo Restaurant instead of Three Bridges. Weather? Needed more tables? Either way, we had a great time. We went up to the 16th floor and checked in. They have a specific table for you which is already decked out with your glasses of sangria and chips with salsa and guacamole. When ready, your hosts (Robert and Ashley were awesome) will begin with some facts and go into the history of sangria. And it wasn't boring. Oh, and you get a great view of the Disney property from the bathrooms. Lol.”

“I had dined here last year, and wanted to take my burger loving party member here for the Bison Cheeseburger that they are known for. We came via boat from the Magic Kingdom. We sat at the bar, which was open seating. The Bartender, Jackie, was funny, quick, helpful, and friendly. We each got a burger and it is interesting and different, yet delicious. We have had great burgers all around property and our favorite is probably still Raglan Road, though we enjoyed here as well. The restaurant is open air, but covered, and has a nice view of the water. This was great because it was raining, but we were sheltered, and made for an interesting ambiance. You can also mobile order here, use your refillable resort mug here, or sit down with table service from a server. Overall the menu here is interesting and I would recommend a visit if you are nearby the Wilderness Lodge area. I heard that Geyser Point has the best burger on Disney property. Geyser point has a table service sit down option and a bar, or they have a mobile order pick up window. I mobile ordered and picked up at the window. Here they also have a soda machine for your resort refillable mugs as well, which is great. The cast members were friendly and helpful. The Bison burger comes with fries which is great, especially for the price point (which is high). The burger is huge and definitely shareable (as we did). A half a burger and a half portion of fries, while sharing a Hefeweizen was perfect! Although all of it was $39. There is some seating out by the lagoon which was absolutely perfect and beautiful. The burger is very unique as it has a berry jam on it which gives it a fun flavor. Overall the burger was flavorful and juicy and not game-y at all. If you are looking for a large, unique, and juicy burger, I would recommend coming here. Just come prepared with your expectations up front to pay for a Bison burger at the wilderness lodge. This place is located at the back of the resort on the lagoon so walk through and out the lobby towards the pool and around and you will see the restaurant area and mobile order to the side. It is also near the boat dock transportation area.”

13 Muddy rivers

4.3 Superb 21 Reviews

9FQ7+2J, Lake Buena Vista

• Take-Out

“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.”

14 Sunshine Day Bar

4.2 Good 18 Reviews

351 South Studio Drive, Lake Buena Vista

“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. ?”

15 Trader Sam's Tiki Terrace

4.2 Good 118 Reviews

1600 Seven Seas Drive, Bay Lake

“This is a review based on my visit there in November 2025. I was not staying at the Polynesian (if only), so I crossed fingers and toes to pop over and add myself to the Grog Grotto waiting list. I checked out the resort to the extent I could and happily timed the Tiki Terrace right at opening. I was THRILLED to learn you can gain any of the tiki mugs on the terrace and pick up the mug once done. Wait staff was very helpful in educating me on this, as well as noting ability to slightly modify some of the drinks. I did ultimately get into the Grog Grotto, but if you don’t want to wait and hope to get in, the Tiki Terrace is a nice setting.”

16 Banana Cabana

4.2 Good 183 Reviews

1114 Cayman Way, Lake Buena Vista

“You can get the bread pudding they serve at Sebastian's if you ask! The best bread pudding I've ever had, and I'm not even a huge fan of tropical flavors. Had the banana cabana drink, which was very good. The live band really impressed me as well. And a view of the fireworks if you time it right! Didn't have any actual food, but might be worth a try.”

17 Dockside Margaritas

4.2 Good 206 Reviews

Disney Springs Marketplace, 1486 East Buena Vista Drive, Lake Buena Vista

“I'd been going through a health crisis with my husband and stayed at the Wyndham near Disney Springs. I went to DS at night after hospital visits to send my husband photos, his insisence. Lena at the bar at Dockside not only listened to me but remembered me and made me feel welcome and I felt that she cared. I've been going here for years and the staff (Tom, who's not longer there, I miss you) and Lena and her fellow bar tenders go out of their way. I am looking forward to my November 2036 trip.”

• Take-Out

“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)”

19 Crockett's Tavern

4510 Fort Wilderness Trail, Lake Buena Vista

“Five stars! We had a great experience at Crockett’s Tavern and Karla was a huge part of it. She was friendly, attentive and gave us amazing service from start to finish. We had such a fun time talking with her about Puerto Rico since we’ve been there before and she made the whole experience feel really personal and welcoming. Great food, great atmosphere and even better service. Huge shoutout to Karla. Can't wait to come back!”

20 Hurly-Burly

3.7 Good 15 Reviews

2101 Epcot Resorts Boulevard, Lake Buena Vista

“I'm writing to share a wonderful experience my friends and I had at Hurly-Burly on Disney's BoardWalk. From start to finish, our evening was nothing short of magical, and the cast members we met there deserve special recognition. Kimberly checked us in, and she was amazing. She greeted us with such warmth and enthusiasm that we felt welcome the moment we walked through the door. She set the perfect tone for the night ahead. Our bartender, Kay, was absolutely outstanding. She was warm, welcoming, and attentive all night, and her drinks were fantastic. Every one was crafted with care, and she made us feel like regulars from the moment we sat down. Her energy and genuine hospitality made the entire evening special, and we left wishing we could bring her home with us. We played two rounds of trivia, and it was the highlight of our night. The trivia host was phenomenal: funny, quick, engaging, and a natural at bringing the whole room together. I only wish I had caught his name, because he deserves to be recognized by name for the incredible atmosphere he created. The DJ was equally terrific, keeping the energy high and the music perfect all evening long. Between the outstanding drinks, the fun of trivia, and the wonderful company of our friends, this was one of the best nights we have ever spent at Walt Disney World. Please pass along our heartfelt thanks to Kimberly, Kay, the trivia host, and the DJ. They truly embody the Disney spirit, and we can't wait to come back.”

“There's a nice open layout with table service and a full bar. There's a multi page cocktail menu. This includes beer, wines by the glass, and a spirit list. We went for just one drink but stayed for 2 due to the nice service from Bianca. The Aperil Spritz we ordered were great. What is it about driving around maniacs for 2 hours that makes you want to drink before you go out drinking?”

3.9 Good 77 Reviews

1001 West Buena Vista Drive, Lake Buena Vista

“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!”

“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”

33 River Roost

4.4 Superb 159 Reviews

1251 Riverside Drive, Lake Buena Vista

“We had a great time at Villatel. We stayed with two other families to help with the cost and the place was big enough. no one was stepping over another. Having your own private pool was a game changer and that in itself is a huge reason to stay. The kids loved the game room, but the sleeping arrangement in that room made the big difference because they all had their own little space. The kitchen was appointed perfectly, just bring your own groceries and instead of eating out, we cooked almost every night. Having a washer and dryer was awesome as we had fresh clothes and towels every day. We didn't rely on housekeeping for anything because everything we needed was already there. Don't pack the kitchen sink when heading here, they already have one.”

34 Three Bridges Bar and Grill at Villa del Lago

4.3 Superb 310 Reviews

1001 West Buena Vista Drive, Lake Buena Vista

“Beautiful setting in the centre of the Disney Coronado Springs Resort. Waterfront dining accessed by various walkways connecting the different hotel areas. We went for a dinner direct from the parks so weren't dressed to impress, but there were groups there who had made the effort so I would describe it as a mixed crowd, very welcoming and a relaxing atmosphere. We were a walk up of 3 and were seated immediately, but I imagine it gets very busy in peak months requiring a reservation. Our waiter was a nice gentleman called Panda and he was excellent - going out of his way to entertain and cater for our 4 years old child. Food was around $30 a head, children's meal was $11, so about what you would expect for a a resort restaurant. The Smashed burger was very nice and just what I needed after walking around all day. If you're staying at Coranado, it's a very pleasant spot to relax over dinner and refuel.”

“Great experience overall! Our bartender was super friendly, talkative, and made our party feel welcome. The drinks were amazing—he made two really cool mocktails for us, along with great drinks like the Seychelles Martini and Baobab 75. Prices were reasonable, and the atmosphere was great with the theme and decorations. Located inside Kidani Village at Animal Kingdom Lodge, it’s a family-friendly spot with great staff. Definitely recommend!”
