What's your favorite resort and theme park establishment for adult libations?
There are so many good ones, but if I had to choose just one resort and park bar I would pick:

Resort: The Gurgling Suitcase at OKW. Small bar, small TV, small crowd, friendly bartenders. Home Sweet Home

Theme Park: Rose & Crown at Epcot. Pints of Bass, Scotch Eggs and the Hat Lady.

What are yours?
 
Goodness, I'm having trouble narrowing it down to even a top five! I think I have it figured out, though:

The Bluezoo lounge has the most talented bartenders.
The Sanaa lounge's bartenders are the most personable.
The Wave lounge has the prettiest decor.
The ambiance of Belle Vue Room is my favorite for relaxing fun.
The Cabana Bar is the best place to grab lunch and a drink or two.
 
At resort I like the bar at Narcoossee's. Theme park...Rose & Crown hands down...
 
Ragland Road was fun to chill at the bar & watch the performers in DTown Disney.

We tried to drink at the wave in Contemporary but the 2 bartenders were gay so we had lack of service & left unfortunately. :(

Believe it or not the bar at the dinosaur restaurant in Dtown disney has a really cool bar & good drinks :)
 

I cannot pick just one!

Favorite Resort Bar(s): Cabana Bar @ Dolphin (incredible specialized drink list, awesome food, relaxing setting)...Bluezoo @ Dolphin (mixologists, oysters!)...Tambu Lounge @ Poly (Backscratchers & Lapu Lapu's with friendly bartenders)

Favorite Theme Park Bar(s): La Cava del Tequila @ Mexico Pavilion, EPCOT (some of the best strong flavored margaritas on property)...Dawa Bar @ Animal Kingdom (awesome drinks - Harambe Coolers - while watching the live entertainment)
 
Park favorite...Rose & Crown. No contest there.

Favorite Pool Bar: Trout Bass Pool Bar at the Wilderness Lodge
Favorite Fun Place: River Roost at POR. A night with Bob Jackson!
Favorite Bar to end the day: Bell Vue Lounge. My favorite part of our last vacation was having a nightcap on the balcony and watching the activity on the BW.

In April we are staying at BLT so we'll finally get around to checking out the louges on the monorail loop. I can't wait for that. :)
 
Favorite Resort Lounge: Top of the World Lounge at Bay Lake Tower :love:
 
Favorite resort bar is the lounge at bluezoo. Once we discovered it, we rarely go back to any of the Disney lounges.

Favorite park bar is definitely Rose and Crown. Although I like the drink selections better at La Cava, the atmosphere at Rose and Crown, especially when Carl is bartending, is just so great.
 
They are too expensive, even just for a beer...we tend to supply our own beer, wine and alcohol, and enjoy them anytime but especially at the resort pool.....
 
At the resorts I like Blue Zoo--with Shulas and Flying Fish not far behind.

In the parks, Yak and Yeti.

At DD, Paridiso 37.
 
Shaking my head at the one off comment, but my favorite is the River Roost at POR. Great Bloodys and we love Yeehaw Bob.

You're Gurgling Suitcase sure sounds nice, though.

:)
 
We liked the lounge at POR but didn't like Yee Haw Bob unfortunately. His silly humor was great for families, but we wanted an atmosphere where we could talk, maybe watch a few sports, etc. and his performance did not allow for that. And I think he's there like 4 nights a week.

We also like the Poly lounge - have met some great people there, it's never been crowded, and always managed to watch sports when there :thumbsup2
 
I have my old, stand-by favorites, like the Sanaa Lounge, the Belle Vue Lounge, the Wave Lounge and the Cabana Bar, but a new addition to the list that I very much enjoyed on our recent trip was the bar at Portobello in Downtown Disney.

The bartender was personable and funny, the drinks were prompt and delicious (for beer fans, they have several local Florida brews available for your enjoyment), and those meatball sliders are a steal for the price. They might be the best bar food value on property, and you can only get them at the bar.

We walked in at prime dinner hour and there were people waiting all over the foyer area, but the bar was half empty. I liked a lot of things about the experience, and I reckon we'll be back again next time we're in the area.
 
resort: Mizner's at the Grand Floridian. The bartenders all know me by name and treat me better than I deserve. Outstanding Martinis and Manhattans. Society Orchestra. I always manage to run into someone I know there, even though I'm 150 miles from home. I'd have my last drink on Earth there.

Parks: Rose and Crown. Carl the bartender: need one say more?
 
Resorts: We have 2 favorites ESPN bar, as there is one bartender who has been a Castmember for 25 years, and opened with ESPN...I feel horrible that I cannot remember his name. Victoria Falls at AKL.....Awesome, Awesome bartenders too many good ones to name!

Park: Rose and Crown hands down!
 
Territory Lounge - so relaxing and well themed. Plus the regional beers are great.
 
Cali Grill - If you go on the early side you get to experience sunset and the place without the crowds

Territory Lounge - DBF said he had the best Old Fashioned here - the bartender was from Chicago and I wish I remembered her name!

Fultons - I just enjoy the atmosphere here and the wine pour is generous!
