Epcot indoor dining or bar or lounge options?

[Jsharp13]

On the week we will be in Epcot, it will be hotter than a volcanic eruption, on the surface of the sun. I have a plan including sit down dining and indoor atractions and a mid day break.

But what I'm looking for are any possible inside sit down spots for quick service, or primarily a drink?

For example, I think we can just walk into Rose and Crown pub (not the dining room) and sit to enjoy a beer (space permitting!). Are there others like this in the World Showcase area?

Along with those listed above,

Connections eatery and cafe
Katsura Grill in Japan
In Mexico, sometimes the Cantina De San Angel during lunch opens the seating of Hacienda de San Angel
Sunshine Seasons in The Land

Also Tutto Gusto in Italy. We have also gotten walk-ups at La Creperie in France.

Thank you, these are great ideas!

Good luck getting seats at Rose & Crown. Post-Covid, the indoor seating has been reduced to about 25% of what was available before the pandemic closure and outdoor seating as disappeared completely.

I’d question the first two in terms of availability- they always seem so crowded with no available seating…

Always a long line for La Cava de Tequila and crowded, minimal seating at Les Halles.

I second Sunshine Seasons in the Land. At my wife's recommendation, I tried their oak-smoked salmon and mashed potatoes and was blown away. It legitimately could have been table-service food at some spots in WDW.

It's technically table service but I've always been able to find last minute reservation/walk up at Le Creperie in Epcot. And the food is great.

Does a drink from Regal Eagle and attendance at The American Experience count? It a great break and could also be a nap.

Rose & Crown now opens at 10:30 (could be 10:00) and the dining room is available for seating. Order drinks at the bar (no food available, but you can bring in items from the fish & chips place next door or other food) and seat yourself in the dining room. Since R&C no longer does lunch, the dining room is open until just before opening time for the restaurant.

We spent a couple of hot mornings (and a couple with rain) there with a Bloody Mary or beer. Likewise, the outdoor covered patio is also available.

We love heading for Spice Road Table. Always easy to get in and the food and drinks are delicious

A 10:30 pub opening is certainly a nice change. Having the dining room available for seating provides a little compensation for the loss of the pub seating. It used to be an 11:30 pub opening with the pub menu food available starting at 12 noon. I enjoyed many a fish & chips lunch there pre-Covid.
