Another bar that doesn't have many no alcoholic options. Disney needs to get with the times. Even the smaller bars around here have a couple mocktails, 2-3 non alcoholic beers, and even some non alcoholic wines have been showing up.

I've been drinking non-alcholic wine since I was a kid:





Seriously, I definitely approve of more non-alcoholic choices.

That is A VERY small menu.

Seriously! There is so many people that would appreciate a beverage that's not just juice, soda, or lemonade that I feel like this is such a weird oversight by Disney. Even if they don't want to put in the effort for coming up with unique mocktails themselves, they're missing a big partnership opportunity to provide any alcoholic drink with non-alcoholic spirit option.

The smaller it is the faster they can sling them and less potential mess up’s. If someone orders a cocktail they have a 50% chance of picking the right one

Yes, but its going to be a one and done for a lot of people, us included because of the lack of variety.

That is a really small menu. Not sure why they needed another bar as they have a good one on 2nd floor. A coffee shop or tea room would have seemed to fit better.

None and done for me. If I'm going to stop someplace for a cocktail, I want a little more variety and a small plate snack to go with it.

My theory here is that the menu is small so they can 'turn' the seats fast. With limited options and no food, this isn't going to be a spot to linger.

Exactly. This is about quick, high margin sales. Grab a drink while your spouse checks in, pick up something while you tourist browse the hotel. Those after a full bar are one floor away from Enchanted Rose.

And as for the lack of non-alcoholic options- it’s a limited menu. Even the bigger new bars only have 2 mocktails and Disney doesn’t really appear to be into non-alcoholic beer or wine.

A bar that opens at 3:30-4 p.m. and can be a pain in the butt to access even as a hotel guest.

It's perfectly ok to have a menu that is very exclusive and selective. I'm glad I took a peak at the menu and was able to make the decision that it's not a "want to do/see" for me. It's OK!!!

 

[HappyGal]

We tried to two cocktails and didn’t care for either of them. It was something to see/do but it was a one and done unless the widen their selection of liquors.

Aer the cocktails premade like some of their other bars or do they make them there?

 

[Liastaob]

Any bar that you can't go to and just order a gin and tonic is not much of a "bar".

 

[focusondisney]

These comments sound very reminiscent of ones before the Cake Bake Shop opened. Despite the skepticism, CBS turned out to be very popular. So this bar might do just fine.

I still think they are leaving money on the table by not offering lattes, cappuccinos, and such. It's a more elevated experience compared to going to Gasparilla.

Agree although I think they need a separate coffee bar. We visit La Petit Cafe every time we stay at RIV, GF should have someplace similar.

I'm not sure how many birdcages the lobby can accommodate though.
