13. Abracadabar

Abracadabar is located between Trattoria Al Forno and Flying Fish at Disney's Boardwalk. Abracadabar is themed as a hangout spot for famous magicians and illusionists. The Victorian era theming features incredible details along the walls with posters of magicians disappearing and reappearing.

The menu features unique tasting cocktails that aren’t overbearingly sweet, but it does have a very limited food selection. Its location right near EPCOT along Disney's Boardwalk makes it a popular place to visit despite the limited menu.

12. Scat Cat Lounge

Scat Cat's Club Lounge is located in Disney's Port Orleans Resort- French Quarter and aligns with the theme of the resort as a New Orleans-style lounge. The lounge is meant to transport you to an intimate jazz club in the French Quarter.

The drink menu offers a mix of standard and unique cocktails with a great food menu. There is live music Friday through Sunday, making this a great lounge to visit on the weekends.

10. Enchanted Rose

The Enchanted Rose is an upscale lounge in the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa inspired by Beauty and the Beast. There are four spaces themed after the Disney live-action film, with a golden chandelier inspired by Belle's ball gown above the bar.

The details in the lounge include a formal library with baroque designs, a whimsical garden room, and an outdoor patio meant to resemble the Beast's garden terrace. The cocktail menu here offers a wide selection of options from luxurious drinks to an extensive wine list.

9. Rose & Crown Pub

Rose & Crown Pub is a full-service pub located in EPCOT's World Showcase. Guests can choose from a large selection of British beers, ciders, scotches, and signature cocktails. This is one of the most popular drinking spots in EPCOT and the most traditional English pub setting you can find in the theme parks.

The menu offers specialties like fish and chips, bangers and mash, and sticky toffee pudding. There is an outdoor patio with a great view of the World Showcase lagoon.

8. Nomad Lounge

Nomad Lounge in Animal Kingdom is located next to Tiffins Restaurant and is one of the most popular dining spots in Disney World. Nomad Lounge features a large selection of beer, wine, and cocktails.

The theme of this lounge is focused on the “thrill of discovery,” with different festive banners hanging in the center of the lounge, with questions about traveling the world. You can answer some of these questions on decorative tags provided by cast members, which will later be hung on a “tag chandelier” above the bar.

7. La Cava del Tequila

La Cava del Tequila is located inside the Mexico pavilion in EPCOT and features over 200 tequilas, cocktails, Mexican beer, and wine. They're known for their tequila flights and passion fruit margaritas! This experience is just as it sounds, it's like you're drinking tequila in a cave!

Some say going to La Cava del Tequila is a rite of passage at EPCOT, especially if you plan on Drinking Around the World. It's also just a great place to get a margarita.

6. GEO-82

GEO-82 is an adults-only lounge located in EPCOT and is located inside Spaceship Earth at EPCOT, and offers views of both the World Celebration gardens and World Showcase Lagoon. The menu for GEO-82 includes custom cocktails, zero-proof options, plus a specialty bourbon flight.

GEO-82 also offers an expensive fireworks viewing experience aimed at those looking for a luxury experience to view the EPCOT fireworks. The entire atmosphere of this Spaceship Earth-themed lounge is aimed at an elevated experience with a relaxing atmosphere. If you're looking for an adult-only space with high-quality drinks, this is the one!

5. Space 220 Lounge

Space 220 Lounge is part of the large Space 220 restaurant in EPCOT. Guests get to “travel” 220 miles above Earth to this casual lounge aboard the Centauri Space Station. The lounge is a good alternative to dinner if you just want to experience Space 220 without necessarily paying for a large pre-fix dinner menu.

The lounge menu features small appetizer bites and cocktails. The theme of this space, combined with the elevated luxury atmosphere, makes it a popular choice for many guests.

4. Beak and Barrel

The newest lounge at Disney World has been incredibly popular, making it one of the hardest places to get reservations, especially due to its limited space. The Beak and Barrel in Magic Kingdom is a Pirates of the Caribbean-themed bar and features an Audio-Animatronic parrot called Rummy. Rummy serves as the tavern's quartermaster and keeps an eye on the bar from his roost high atop the bar.

The theme for this space is meant to make you feel like you stepped in time to an old Spanish mess hall that has been taken over by pirates. The drinks and snacks on the menu are all themed to match the Pirates of the Caribbean aesthetic. The popularity of this space means that some guests may be seated with others or be given standing room only spots, which can be a drawback for some.

3. Oga's Cantina

When it comes to themes, Oga's Cantina hits it out of the park. Oga's Cantina is a Star Wars-themed bar in both Disneyland and Walt Disney World. If you've seen Star Wars: A New Hope, this bar is inspired by the atmosphere of the Mos Eisley Cantina, where Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi meet Han Solo and Chewbacca.

The atmosphere of this Hollywood Studios bar is managed by an Audio-Animatronic, DJ Rex, playing catchy Star Wars tunes. The cocktail menu here is Star Wars themed and offers a small selection of appetizers as well. Unfortunately, the theme here sometimes goes a bit “too hard” with guests being encouraged to sit with other guests and mingle like a Star Wars cantina. The popularity of this spot also means there are a lot of spaces that are standing room only.

2. Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar

Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar is located in Disney Springs and is inspired by the adventures of Indiana Jones' pilot. The ambiance around the bar features plenty of hidden Easter eggs calling out different references to Indiana Jones. While this isn't as heavily themed as the other bars on this list, the ease of this experience lands it in the number two spot. There's typically always enough seating, no standing needed here, and you can often get a spot in this bar.

The cocktail menu here offers themed trends, like the Fountain of Youth, an extensive beer and wine list, plus a good selection of appetizers.

1. Trader Sam's Grog Grotto

It might seem cliché to name Trader Sam's Grog Grotto as the top themed lounge in Disney World, but sometimes clichés get called that for a reason! Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto is known for its interactive elements that only happen when you order specific drinks. The lounge itself evokes the feeling of being on the South Pacific with a cocktail list to match.

Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto is located in Disney's Polynesian Village Resort and is one of the most popular lounges at Disney World. Make sure you arrive early to get on the walk-up list!
