Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Walt Disney World Orlando right now.
Just before Walt Disney selected Orlando as the site of what he called his Florida Project, he had very nearly settled on St. Louis as the follow-up to Disneyland park. But when St. Louis city officials asked which brewery would receive the Magic Kingdom's beer concession, Walt informed them the Magic Kingdom would be no place for beer, and the deal fell apart. Funnily enough, today you'll find almost as many watering holes as there are Disney characters. After beating your feet around a theme park all day, there are lounges, bars, speakeasies, pubs, sports bars, and microbreweries where you can settle down with a soothing libation. Your choice of nightlife can be found at various Disney shopping and entertainment complexes—from the casual down-by-the-shore BoardWalk to the much larger Disney Springs, which is comprised of the Marketplace, The Landing, Town Center, and the West Side, each with an impressive assortment of shopping and dining options.
The BoardWalk's only brewpub serves craft beers and upscale American bar food like nachos, salads, pizza, and baby-back ribs in an indoor dining area or a waterfront patio. Five specialty beers are brewed behind the giant glass wall and might include Southern Flyer Light Lager, Iron Horse Stout, or Seven States Pilsner.
