La Cava del Tequila
Location: Epcot in the Mexico Pavilion
This dark, secluded bar and lounge is a fan favorite. With over 200 tequilas, top shelf cocktails and Mexican beer and wine, you’ve got plenty to choose from. Taste different flavors with a tequila flight. There are also tasty margaritas and chips and guacamole.
AbracadaBar
Location: On the Disney BoardWalk
AbracadaBar brings a different kind of magic front and center. Themed to magicians, the small interior has an air of mystery. The theme continues on the menu with specialty cocktails like the Magic Mirror with Bacardí Superior Rum, soda water, honey mango, Sprite and lime juice. Another beverage called Pepper’s Ghost is named after an illusion used in the Haunted Mansion ballroom scene.
Nomad Lounge
Location: Disney’s Animal Kingdom near the entrance of Pandora
Nomad Lounge provides a perfect respite from the heat. The indoor seating area has a ceiling filled with eye candy. Outdoors you’ll find a relaxed patio that overlooks beautiful scenery. This is a great place for adventurers with menu items like the Kungaloosh Spiced Excursion Ale Draft, brewed exclusively for Disney World. Nomad Lounge also offers a large selection on the small plates menu and many themed non-alcoholic beverages as well.
Victoria Falls Lounge
Location: Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge in Jambo House
At Victoria Falls Lounge, you’re surrounded by the beauty of the Animal Kingdom Lodge lobby but also secluded. This bar and lounge is a great spot to head to before dinner out at this resort. It’s located next to Boma and Jiko. Many seats have great people watching views.
Tambu Lounge
Location: Disney’s Polynesian Resort Village lobby
Another thing to love about it: You can order some secret menu items from ‘Ohana at Tambu Lounge. It might be possible to order the famous noodles from ‘Ohana here. Ask your bartender what’s available at the time of your visit.
Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto
Location: Off of Disney’s Polynesian Resort lobby
Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto is the ultimate tiki bar. It’s small, quaint and dark inside but loaded with tropical art, memorabilia and magic. Ordering certain drinks will bring the bar to life with lights, music and maybe even a character. Trader Sam’s does not take reservations and can be hard to get into. It operates on a first come, first serve basis and typically opens in the afternoon and closes late. Note that Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto is completely enclosed with no windows. At least not real windows. This means there are no fireworks views from inside.
Enchanted Rose
Location: Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa on the second floor of the lobby
This is one of Disney’s most elegant spaces when it comes to bars. The Enchanted Rose bar and lounge is in the lobby space that was formerly Mizner’s Lounge, overlooking the Grand Floridian grounds. Feel like you’re inside the live action Beauty and the Beast film in this chic setting. While there aren’t great views of fireworks here, you’re just a quick walk from great places to watch fireworks from the Grand Floridian.
River Roost
Location: Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside near the lobby and entrance
For a rowdy, yet family friendly, good time, head to Port Orleans Riverside. At River Roost, you’ll find a bar and lounge setting with lively pianist Yehaa Bob. Sing interactive songs with the crowd while you enjoy your adult beverage.
Geyser Point Bar & Grill
Location: Disney’s Wilderness Lodge behind the lobby on the waters of Bay Lake
This resort prioritizes nature and its surroundings. Geyser Point Bar & Grill sits on the shore of Bay Lake with serene views of the Florida waterway. This location is covered but technically outdoors with 360 degree views. Geyser Point Bar & Grill is also a great place to watch fireworks from Wilderness Lodge.
Oga’s Cantina
Location: Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
Oga’s Cantina is a space bar that brings out the best of Star Wars nostalgia. Be fully immersed in this popular indoor bar that also has table seating. You may be sat with strangers at the large round booths. The droid spinning tunes, DJ R3X, is an old friend and former pilot from Star Tours. The drinks at Oga’s are some of the most fun you’ll find at Disney World.
Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar
Location: Disney Springs in the The Landing on the water
Fans of the Indiana Jones films will feel right at home at Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar. Jock Lindsey is an airplane pilot who worked with Indiana Jones. This destination is themed to look like an airplane hanger and has indoor and outdoor seating. You’ll want to take it all in, looking for and reading story details that decorate the space.
More Disney World Bars and Lounges to Love
And the list goes on! There are just so many restaurants, bars and lounges at Walt Disney World Resort. Here are a few more you might love.

Tips for Enjoying Disney World Bars
- When visiting a bar at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel, parking may be an issue. Resort parking is typically reserved for guests with a dining reservation. If you want to visit a bar or lounge only, it may be best to use Disney World the complimentary transportation options like boats, busses, monorails and the Disney Skyliner. These are available to take you from the parks and Disney Springs to any resort.
- Many of the same drinks are available at the bars, lounges and restaurants at Disney World. For something different, ask if there is anything exclusive to your location.
