Club Cool Still Open?

[BobC]

I think I read somewhere that Club Cool in EPCOT is now defunct. The place where you can sample soda from around the world.

Please tell me I'm wrong I loved that place to cool down and rehydrate!

I have not been there recently to verify, but everything I have read says they are still open and I can't find a single article online saying otherwise. I did see something about an April Fool's joke that said they were closing - maybe that's how that rumor got started?

We were there in July and it was very much open!

Yes it is still open and although some drinks have changed I can confirm that Beverly is still available.

Beverly is still available.

I wonder how they can manage to keep making Beverly when apparently it's only available at Club Cool and a handful of Coca Cola museums across the country.

Because it's mainly sold outside the US.

I actually like Beverly

Found this in Wiki

Beverly is a carbonated soft drink marketed as a non-alcoholic apéritif, that was produced by The Coca-Cola Company for the Italian market.[1] Following ongoing product consolidation in the Italian market, Beverly was discontinued in 2009.[2]


The bitter taste of Beverly has become familiar to many Americans who get a chance to try it at Coca-Cola tasting stations at the World of Coca-Cola museums in Atlanta, Georgia, Las Vegas, Nevada, and Club Cool at Epcot in Orlando, Florida.

Was there in April. A boy told me to not drink Beverly because it was gross. So for his amusement, I drank a full cup then grimaced because I couldn't think of anything witty say.
A few years ago, while waiting for kids at Segway/arcade games area, I told an old lady that there was free soda near by and she should try the Beverly. I wonder if she did.
I like the t-shirts at Club Cool. Red Coke t-shirts with lots of different languages. I got the Fanta t-shirt for myself.

One of the worst tasting drinks I have ever had...!

@Meriweather if you like Beverly, you'd probably like Moxie.

I don't HATE Beverly, but a little goes a long way. It is a bit of a palette cleanser though and works as such. My favorite is Bibo; I could drink that all day!

Perhaps it is the "Ice Station Cool" that you read about being defunct. The entrance to Club Cool used to be a tunnel with actual snow and ice. That part is gone. But the Coke tasting room is still there.

This is what is gone.....

 

[GaryDis]

Not anymore. AFAIK, those half dozen sites in the US are the only places in the world where it's available.

Nope. I enjoy Beverly, but Moxie is vile.

Here is me trying The Beverly for the first time in 2012, lol. Funny thing is I still drink it every trip even though I know I can't stand it. It's a tradition, lol. (Its actually a video so you have to click on the pic)

 

[Marbel]

Team Bibo!

 

[BobC]

I like that watermelon one quite a bit....

Beverly isn't bad to me. I don't mind club soda/tonic water and that's pretty much what it is.

Never tried it. Beverly reminds me of the quinine water my parents used to use as a mixer in cocktails.....only Beverly is sweeter

The video was good but your "sexy men" file was even better. Note to self, don't use photobucket link unless I'm ready to share everything.

OMG I so didn't realize, I use it for pics but have never posted a video before. I'm so embarrassed. I removed the video.
