Favorite Spots to Grab a Drink!

[bravelitltoaster]

Hi Guys,

My wife and I don't have kids. We are "those crazy folks who travel to Disney with no kids." We just love Disney & Universal. We spend most of our time eating, and drinking around the world. I'd love to know your favorite bars and lounges. I'll start with a few of our own in hopes you may discover something new yourself.

Crews Cup- This may be my favorite place on property. I'm partial, we were married at the YC. There's just something very welcoming. What better way to start your way around the World Showcase then by downing a few bourbons.

Tune-in Lounge- The bartenders were awesome and the sampler appetizer was fantastic. I won't harp on the lack of things to do at HS. This should be a great respite for you and yours. Décor and staff are very fun.

Jock Lindsey's- I know it's taken some heat (mainly for the "food") but I love Indiana Jones, so naturally I love JL. The atmosphere is nostalgic and the beer selection much more diverse than most. We spent an evening on the boat that faces Boathouse, and had a great time.

The Wave- This was a favorite to stop by before a trip to MK. A quick bite before heading into the park and a couple drinks to help deal with the crowds. One of the few places that had Orange Blossom Trail on tap.

I'd love to hear you opinions. We plan on trying a few next trip which is May 14th. Thanks Guys!

We also went to Disney a few times before kids! Honeymooned there as well (I wanted to get married there, but my parents insisted on a big church wedding at their church so I lost that battle - in my next life I will be more firm!).

I agree with the Tune In Lounge! I've enjoyed sitting at the bar there a couple times.

One afternoon/evening we went to the Belle Vue Lounge (not sure if I'm spelling this right) at the Boardwalk and enjoyed a couple nice martinis. It was so quiet in there, and I think we were the only patrons. It's very relaxing and serene, a nice break from the hustle and bustle.

My DH loves the little tequila place tucked inside the Mexico pavilion - it's like a cave in there. We were there with friends last trip, and I'm sure the tab was a least a couple hundred dollars. But, we all enjoyed it!

Obviously, the place pictured below. In addition, the Belle Vue Lounge either outside on the porch for people watching or inside to listen to the classic radio. Raglan road is a 'Must Do' every trip, last Oct after a RR dinner we strolled over to Jock Lindsey's but it was packed, this Oct for sure.

We are actually staying at Boardwalk this trip so I'm excited to hear great things about belle vue(spelling?) we loved our Disney wedding! I hate you weren't able to make that happen but I'm sure your Disneymoon was awesome too! Thanks for the head up!

We hit Jock Lindsey's opening weekend and must have gotten extremely lucky. I don't think the word was out just yet. We loved it. Hope you get a chance to go this time!

I definitely forgot about Mizners. Live that place. Rose and Crown is a great one too. We ate dinner there for he first time in January. It was very good and the service was fantastic. Great choices!

Love Rose & Crown. We're there a few times a week. Actually, heading there this afternoon here pretty soon. Always have such a great time and always meet cool, new people when we go.

Let's see, also a person who travels without children...now...

Raglan Road, Rose and Crown, Dawa Bar, Martha's Vineyard at BC, Tune In Lounge, La Cava and...my room with my refillable mugs of free mixers with the spirits we bring with us.

We love the Tune-In Lounge also, but my fave is the Outer Rim in the Contemporary. Such a great place to take a break from the MK and have an adult beverage.

Ray is the name of the late afternoon bartender. Not only does he mix a mean drink, he's got some amazing magic tricks up his sleeve. Be careful around Ray, though. He'll dazzle you with his mixology skills, and you'll spend far more money (and become far more buzzed) than you had intended.

Mizners at GF
Territory Lounge at WL
River roost at POR
La Cava
Japanese garden in Epcot. We like to grab a drink from one of the carts and sit back here. Quiet and relaxing

Outer rim is another good one! Also like Tambu Lounge when it isn't crowded.

Glad to know we're not the only ones! We do love Raglan. We had our rehearsal dinner there. Dawa is another good one!

This is great! I'll look out for Ray, hopefully he'll be there! I'm glad you brought it up, that's one on our list!
