Walt Disney World is home to over 150 bars and lounges spread across its four theme parks, two water parks, and dozens of resorts. From robust wine bars with global offerings to an out-of-this-world cantina helmed by a robot DJ — you are at Disney World, after all — the drinking potentials are both inventive and endless.

The best bars at Disney World all share something in common: they embrace that special brand of magic that the world-class destination is known for. Thematically pleasing environments are combined with top-notch service, and of course, incredible drinks that will have you singing “Bibbidi-Boppidi-Boo” in no time.

This list includes wildly popular favorites like Epcot’s La Cava Del Tequila, as well as tucked away hidden gems like Kimonos at the Walt Disney World Swan Resort. Some even pair expertly crafted cocktails with stellar food. While Disney World’s theme park requires tickets, the spots at Disney Springs and Disney resorts are open to the public. Here are the best bars at Walt Disney World.

AbracadaBar

Located at Disney’s BoardWalk, AbracadaBar is a magician-themed cocktail lounge with a dark, moody ambiance. In classic mouse house fashion, there's more than just vintage props lining the walls. Keep your eyes peeled because the objects on the wall will transform. The bar features an impressive collection of bourbons and ryes, along with some of the best craft cocktails on the property, like the Black Manhattan.

Oga’s Cantina

Only at Disney could guests visit an infamous fictional watering hole as they step into the world of Star Wars. Oga’s Cantina is modeled after the destination where bounty hunters and travelers would rub elbows and savor exotic concoctions. The interactive bar’s centerpiece is a droid, DJ R-3X, which provides the entertainment during your visit. Order the Fuzzy Tauntaun: the cocktail uses the buzz button plant to create a mind-bending tingling foam that sits on top of the drink.
