Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ officially reopened at Disney Springs back in June, along with the patio seating of its brand-new Shine Bar & Social!

As the restaurant welcomes guests back for homemade Southern cookin’, we’ve also been keeping a close eye on the progress being made to the its outdoor patio expansion! Since it first opened, it has already upgraded its sign as well as added the central mini bar! Let’s take a first look at Shine Bar & Social.
Layout and Atmosphere
First of all, we just want to admire how welcoming the open-air atmosphere of the Shine Bar and Social is! Although Homecomin’ usually makes us feel like we are…well, right at home, the Shine Bar and Social looks like a relaxing way to catch up with a few friends or chill with your family members.

The tables are all distanced six feet apart from one another so there is space between guests.

And, while you’re kicking back and relaxing at the new patio, you can still have some of the fabulous eats and drinks at the restaurant!

Mini Bar
Shine Bar & Social first opened up without its mini bar, and at the time folks could instead order from the main bar indoors. But, a mini bar has since been added to the patio out front!

While the mini bar is not yet open for use, once it is, guests will be able to enjoy a selection of moonshine-based cocktails without having to step inside!

We also spotted some refillable souvenir cups sitting up on the top shelf, available for purchase!

This looks like the perfect spot to kick back in the middle of your Disney Springs day and sip on some delicious drinks!
