Plastic cups for cocktails

[Lsyves]

I know this is a weird question but how do you tell if a restaurant will give you a drink in a plastic cup vs glass? Is it safe to assume only indoor bars and table service places will give you a glass? I know it’s super picky but if I’m going to pay $$$ for a nice margarita or fun cocktail, I hate when it’s in a plastic cup. Just curious if anyone has noticed!

Have not noticed but I would expect a sit down restaurant to provide glasses for adults for their beverages

Hm. To each their own, but I don't know why the type of glass would make something worth the money or not.

I bet I notice such things early in the evening. But... can't say that I care past Margarita #2... Just me!

I totally understand about the bar ware! I was so disappointed when I got my cocktail served to me in a plastic cup at Abracada-Bar near BWV. We were sitting on the patio for drinks and appetizers. So, I asked our waiter Why we would be served such a lovely cocktail in a plastic cup. He said it was bec we were sitting outside. Only those who were inside the restaurant got served in glass. If I had known beforehand, we would have gone inside.

To the best of my recollection, I think the only time I’ve gotten a plastic cup at Disney is outside as well. I agree—for $16 or something for a drink, I’d like a real glass. Or a hollowed out piece of fruit, ideally

Barware, table settings, the weight of cutlery all play into how food & drink taste. I totally understand how plastic “cheapens” the drink.

I believe a good rule of thumb is outside=plastic, inside=glass.

Disney has a roaming liquor license meaning you can drink anywhere on Disney property unless they so prohibit it. If you are outside or at a bar that you are expected to leave the bar after getting a drink you will get a plastic cup. Also any bar or place that serves liquor will give you a plastic cup to finish your drink outside.

Gotta say this something that I've never noticed nor cared about. Just give me the drink, I couldn't care less what its in.

I don't care about the container my drink is in. Give me the large square ice cube, not the crushed ice!
