I’ve Eaten at Every Lounge in Disney World. These Are the BEST.

Disney World ain’t just for kids anymore!

Okay, technically it’s never just been for kids — Walt made sure of that. But, the parks and hotels have come a long way in terms of more adult-oriented activities. There are now a TON of bars and lounges across the resort and we’ve eaten at them ALL — but these are the best.

Nomad Lounge

This Animal Kingdom spot is a hidden gem featuring hand-crafted cocktails with African, Asian, and South American flavors. You’ll also find beer, wine, and nonalcoholic cocktails inspired by those regions on the menu.

But, the food here is outstanding. It follows the same cuisine inspiration as the drinks, and there are often rotating, seasonal specials found here that keep us coming back for more — think tuna poke bowls, chicken satay, bao buns, and more. This lounge also features a dedicated kids menu!

Dahlia Lounge

Head on over to Disney’s Coronado Springs’ Gran Destino Tower — at the top, you’ll find Dahlia Lounge.

Here, you’ll find Spanish-inspired eats like tapas and hand-selected wines. It’s got a more upscale atmosphere, and isn’t very “Disney” overall. You won’t necessarily find a full meal here, but the food is delicious and gives you the option to try a bunch of new things!

Steakhouse 71 Lounge

This lounge is attached to one of our favorite new restaurants in Disney World — Steakhouse 71. You’ll find this restaurant just beyond the main check-in counters at Disney’s Contemporary Resort.

We’ve had multiple meals and more here, and each dining experience can only be summed up as dreamlike. At the lounge, you’ll have access to the full restaurant menu — making this a great stop before or after hitting Magic Kingdom.

California Grill Lounge

At the top of Disney’s Contemporary Resort, you’ll find California Grill and the accompanying lounge. California-style cuisine and sushi is on the menu — which is available in the lounge as well.

This is also an upscale option if you’re looking to celebrate something or spend date night at a lounge that offers great views of the Magic Kingdom fireworks. Of course, as with the rest of the lounges on this list you’ll have to walk up to the host stand to check availability, or see if the Mobile Walk Up Waitlist is available in the My Disney Experience app.

Sanaa Lounge

African and Indian-inspired eats are set in a gorgeous restaurant that offers floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge savanna.

The full restaurant menu is available at the lounge — including our favorite Indian Style Bread Service. Animal Kingdom Lodge can be out of the way if you’re not actually staying there, but trust us — Sanaa is worth it!

Three Bridges Bar & Grill

You’ll find Three Bridges Bar & Grill at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort — in the middle of the lake! The name comes from the three bridges that connect the bar to the rest of the restaurant. It’s an outdoor location that offers pretty spectacular views.

And, in addition to those views, you’ll also find some stellar eats. We recently tried some new menu items at Three Bridges and were seriously impressed. We especially loved the Korean Fried Chicken Bao Buns and Warm Churros!

Territory Lounge

If you’re looking for cozy vibes and good eats, look no further than Territory Lounge at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort. There are some sleeper food hits at this bar!

We will always order the Loaded Baked Potato Flatbread and the Salmon Run Flatbread, and if you’re looking for a solid Charcuterie Board, the one here is an excellent choice.

Tambu Lounge

We have two words: ‘Ohana Noodles (IYKYK). Tambu Lounge is located on the second floor of Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, right next to the coveted ‘Ohaha restaurant — and they share a kitchen!

Yep, that means you can get iconic ‘Ohana dishes here — like the famous noodles, dumplings, and more.

If you’re looking for good eats, drinks, and atmosphere — these Disney World bars and lounges just might do the trick. Stay tuned to AllEars for the latest Disney World planning tips and more!
