Cody is the best bartender ever! I came to the bar with tears in my eyes- (due to a family member in our party in a very bad mood and in desperate need of diet Dr. Pepper) ? Not only did he make the best drink ever, he showed me how to download and use DoorDash to order 2 cases of diet Dr. Pepper. By the time I had finished my drink and the Dr. pepper came, my tears had turned into laughter and the great Diet Dr. Pepper debacle of 2024 was solved and the world was a much better place! . Even Bryan manager (who was also very nice!) came out from the back and joined in the conversation. Thank you for going above and beyond and helping to make my vacation the best!

Bobby and Tanya are the most AMAZING bartenders. Stumbled on this bar with my dad for our Universal vacation and they gave us the best experience and kept us coming back! Made the best drinks and gave the best service ever!

Bobby is the best; he brings life to the bar, is very attentive to the patrons, and is all around a great conversationalist.Bobby, if you move out of the country, be well, you and your partner. Find time for at least one night a year for the club. Even if we are old, it's nice to reminisce. Cheers

Kody started out the evening so strong we almost cancelled other plans to stay here but quickly Tonia turned that around. So rude and unwelcoming. Hard to give a great resort like this a one star but Tonia really ruined the experience.

Quality of the drinks are highly dependent on who your bartender is. The first night at Cabana Bay my boyfriend got one of the old fashions and loved it so much that he asked the bartender if she would be working all week. When we came back a few days later we had a different bartender who seemed to put little to no thoughts into making our drinks. He didn't add the garnishes and the flavors were off for both of our drinks. All that to say you might get either an incredible or a very "okay" drink depending on who is making it.

JJ and Bobby made us the best drinks and are absolutely fabulous. They made our whole trip awesome.

Worst service ever. They serve the drink in plastic glasses. All cocktails are soooo sweet. Bad.

Part of Cabana Bay's Fall beer crawl. Get the fall drink at four locations, get a fifth beer of choice free. Right in the hotel lobby, perfect wait for long afternoon check in lines.
This retro-hotel lobby bar delivers more than just standard beverages with a creative menu (seasonal options) as well as friendly & engaging bar staff. Great place to wind down after visiting the parks and close down the evening with a relaxing environment and adult beverage. Two thumbs up.

This is personally for the bartender that worked tonight (4/28/2022) his name is Brian, he belittled me and took my drink out my hand forcefully bc I handed my drink to my girlfriend who he didn't even care to ask for her ID , I had needed both my hands to get up from the low seat in the bar after a long day at the parks. I came outside to avoid the iPad children that we had accidentally sat next to and he assumed that I was letting her drink my drink outside , he ran after us snatched my drink from me then yelled in my face telling he was going to kick me out and call security . The moment he walked out the door I knew there was going to be an issue he rose his voice from the start as we calmly explained our situation. He then proceeded to not serve me even though I came back up to the bar respectively with my ID in hand (again) just to be belittled continuously in front of other guests which was humiliating and unacceptable , drink was okay (not made by him) but his attitude was not. Also continued to black list me from the bar at the hotel that paid to stay at for the rest of my trip he's the worst bartender, fake attitude and not nice .

We ordered two of their special drinks, and they were awesome. Definitely somewhat packing a punch more than a normal resort cocktail, and both bartenders were extremely nice. The seating in the lobby is great too and it's a nice way to unwind after a busy day.

Wowza! This bar was such a convenience for us! After a long day traveling from Fort Lauderdale to Orlando we saw this bar was open so we decided to grab a quick drink before going to our room. The bartender Brian greeted us with so much positive energy it was infectious and made us forget about our tired aches and pains. We asked what he recommended from the options we were pondering so we decided to try the Nutty Russian and the Swizzle Punch. Both of these drinks were unique tasty and packed a punch. They were so good we had to go the following day to get more! If you're in the area and fortunate enough to have him as your bartender I highly recommend anything he makes since it was all delicious!
