BW has BellVue lounge which isnt a fave of ours. There is the pool bar there which we prefer but it's down and outside. And also Abbracadabar. That's nice but also down on the boardwalk and not up by lobby. We like the indoor lounges at Beach and Yacht club like Ale and Compass lounge and Martha's Vineyard. All but the pool bars open later like 4pm...except Ale and Compass which is noon.
So, Contemp and Grand Flo lounges also open later at like 4pm. We like the Outer Rim up by Chef Mickeys at Contemp but opens at 4 so we also will go downstairs to Steakhouse 71 lounge which opens at noon. Grand Flo has Enchanted Rose and that opens like 4pm. Poly has Tambu as well as, the tough to get into, Trader Sams. Tambu is open early while Trader Sams is like 3pm. A day drinking monorail crawl is kind of tough. Could do Steakhouse 71 and then Tambu but Tambu is always so crowded and busy.
WL has Geyser Point, opens at 11am, which we love. It is by the water and covered nicely and has a few TVs to watch a game. Also can sit in seating out by the water and bring your own drinks (like a bottle of wine or beers). There is also a lounge inside by Artist Point called Territory lounge which opens at 4pm.
AK Lodge...Jambo has Victoria Falls that opens at 4pm. There is a bar by Jiko too but it opens at like 5pm. At Kidani there is the Sanaa bar which may be open early (with the restaurant????).
We love Bar Riva near the pool at Riviera Resort. It has some yummy food and is a covered area with ceiling heaters for when we visit in, say, January. Just love it. Old Key West has a similar one with Gurgling Suitcase though it's smaller but a quaint visit whenever we are there. These are the pool bars but more covered and attached to the hotels. They are also open early, like 11ish.
