ESPN Club

Is it definitely gone for good?

If so what will Disney put in that space?

IMO,it REALLY needs to be another Sports Bar!

City Works is nice but,to me,doesn't have that true "Sports Bar Atmosphere" that ESPN Club had.

And the ESPN Club space has LOCATION,LOCATION,LOCATION!!!!

Right out the "backdoor" of Epcot and sitting on a beautiful lake!

We would often ease out the International Gateway,watch a Game at ESPN Club and ease back into Epcot.

GREAT times!

This is probably one of my family's biggest disappointments in Disney if it doesn't come back (which doesn't look good). We always stay at the Epcot resorts and are huge sports fans. We spent a ton of time at ESPN during different times of the year to watch our favorite college and professional teams. For us, it's just not the same without ESPN in the Epcot resort area

Somewhere on these threads, I read that there was work being done at ESPN Club.

I really enjoyed it there and hope it isn't gone but that seems where its heading. There were a couple bartenders I always had fun with, food was good, and good selection of beers ...plus the games were on. Great place to get away after a long day at the parks

I think they just announced that big dance hall was reopening. Was it called Atlantic Dance Hall? So then I wondered if JellyRolls was still open?

Jellyrolls is not open yet, but there was just a news article that mentioned it is tentatively planning to open some time in mid-August.

I agree with you completely. I stayed at the Boardwalk from July 3 -11 this year and not having the Espn club open impacted the enjoyment of my trip. After a day at Epcot it was fun to stop and have a drink and catch some sports. Really hope it returns. I asked a number of cast members about this and got many different answers. Among them ( never opening again because it wasn't profitable ) (it will become a Splitsvillle like the one in Disney Springs ) and ( It may potentially be opening in 2022.) I'm crossing my fingers.

I have been known to enjoy the Nachos & ice cold beer.....even before a Signature meal......

Here now - we missed ESPN.

Someone posted that they were doing some work there. Do you see any of that??

Only made one daytime pass this vacation - so, "No comment."

But we saw nothing.
