Francisco's @ CSR Closing for Refurbishing

[famsen]

I just got word that the bar, Francisco's, at CSR will be closed for refurbishment while we will be there in October. Does anyone know where we can get a good drink at CSR? I know there is an outdoor bar but will they be able to make any type of drink or just specialty drinks?
We aren't big drinkers but while on vacation, my husband and I look forward to a relaxing adult beverage or two.

Franciscos was closed when we were there the end of May. The outside bar was open in the late afternoon and evenings, the bar at the main pool was open all day.

Francisco's is closed but the new Laguna lounge is open on the promenade and Siestas is open poolside. Who knows, by the time you go, maybe it will be finished.

Thanks for everyone's help!
Like I said, we are not big drinkers but I like to relax and indulge a bit while on vacation since we don't have to drive anywhere.

I'm not sure where the "promenade" is. Is the new laguna bar inside or outside? This gal needs A/C with her cocktail!! What is the bar like?

Thanks!!!

The new lounge was built outside on the back deck of the main building. I have not seen it yet so I can answer the question as to what it is like but I read on another Just Back Thread that there was entertainment.

The resort is bigger, more areas for outdoors activities, more bike paths, bigger lake, more patios to sit on. Outdoor bar at night on the lake with entertainment. Just really relaxing and more areas to explore and walk around.
