ESPN+ in restaurants/lounges

Does WDW have it? They should. Specifically City Works or anywhere we can bop to after dinner at Raglan Road. To watch hockey. TIA.

ESPN or ESPN+? I imagine ESPN is available at most bars with TVs. ESPN+ gets a little more challenging because it's a streamer.

ESPN+ is unlikely

BelleVue lounge at Disney has one TV and if you get there early enough and are nice to Megan-- maybe she can turn it on for you. The NHL inked a 7 yr deal TWDC, including streaming, so that should help. If you head to one of the resorts that have pool bars that stay open later, like Wilderness Lodge (Geyser Point), or even just some of the lounges, BelleVue as mentioned, or Wilderness' Territory Lounge-- you can definitely catch the games. Otherwise, Splitsville's new-ish Tiki Bar, has lots of TV's that you can request games on. City Works would be a good choice too, but not always guaranteed to play the games you want. Otherwise, off-property but close, is Twin Peaks, Gators, and Gaylord Palms Wreckers.

most of those places have the sports packages and can get most any game of the 4 major sports and college

I guess the NHL games are mostly only on ESPN+. Local and one national game are on broadcast TV. DH likes 4 teams and likely none are on broadcast TV that night. We usually go to City Works (for his college football) so that's why I booked the Raglan Road dinner but forgot that hockey streams on ESPN+ but that is a Disney company so I was hoping.

I was at City Works during September and they had quite a few college games on -can't say they had ESPN+ but it seemed they carried a few different regional sports networks. I'd give them a call to ask. I'd bet they have a couple games on but probably not a full schedule.

RSNs are different than ESPN+ because they involve satellites/cable vs. streaming. Many places are not set up to stream on their TVs, even in 2021.
