Disney Springs is one of the most lively areas to drink while on Disney World property, offering many fun bar options. Part of the appeal of bar hopping here is that open containers are allowed, which means you can roam the shopping plaza with your drink in hand.

When I return to Disney Springs, I always discover new places to enjoy a cocktail. However, I always return to these locations for the best drinks at Disney Springs. From fruity, frozen beverages to seasonal cocktails, don’t overlook these best drinking spots on your next Walt Disney World vacation.

Best Drinks at Disney Springs

Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar – Seasonal Drinks

This adventure-themed bar is truly one of a kind. Located right in “The Landing” area of Disney Springs, Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar features a vintage airplane theme and is home to some of the best seasonal cocktails in Disney. You’ll find a fun, festive cocktail – from Halloween drinks to winter specials, no matter what season you visit.

Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar also has a great selection of the best drinks at Disney Springs on their regular menu. My favorites include the “Fountain of Youth” and “Reggie Revenge”. My all-time favorite seasonal drink is available around Halloween, called the “Creepy Mudslide.”

Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar also has one of my favorite appetizers in Disney Springs, called the Chicken on the Egg. This popular appetizer pairs wonderfully with any drink. If you like deviled eggs, I guarantee these will be the best ones you’ve ever tasted. The unique atmosphere of this bar also enhances the experience, whether you sit outside on the patio or indoors at a bar table.

Eet by Maneet Chauhan – Boozy Slushies

Eet by Maneet Chauhan is one of Disney Spring’s newer locations, which opened in December 2023. Since then, it has quickly become one of my favorite places to eat and drink. I could write an entire article about how much I love to eat at this Indian restaurant, but it’s often overlooked as one of the best places to drink at Disney Springs. Not only do they have happy hour on weekdays from 2 to 5 p.m., but it’s a great place to stop if you like frozen cocktails.

Called “boozy slushies,” Eet has a rotating selection of delicious frozen cocktails. Most of the time, they have between two and four flavors to choose from. I’ve loved every one I’ve tried, no matter the flavor. You can enjoy them in the restaurant by ordering food or taking them in a portable cup. Due to the location of this restaurant within Disney Springs, I feel this restaurant is often overlooked. It’s a must-visit if you enjoy fruity, slushy cocktails.

Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ – Strong Cocktails

Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ kitchen is always packed – for good reason. If you plan to eat here, I recommend making a reservation through the My Disney Experience app. However, if you’re just doing a “drinking lap” at Disney Springs, don’t overlook the super strong cocktails here. Cocktails can be ordered from the outside cocktail window, or grab a seat indoors at the bar.

While the drinks here are pricey, they’re surely worth the splurge. Every beverage is balanced and strong. My favorites include the classic Espresso Martini and the Rumshine Punch. The fruity Rumshine Punch is made with Strawberry RumShine, blackberry brandy, banana liqueur, pineapple juice and house-made grenadine. This bar also offers a 22-ounce Jumbo Squeeze cup, perfect for taking on the go. The best part is that you’ll get discounted refills when you return your Jumbo Squeeze cup on your next visit. Chef Art Smith’s also is a great place for brunch drinks (and delicious drop cheddar biscuits)

Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill – Artisan Cocktails

Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill is one of the best places to stop at Disney Springs for artisan cocktails. Here, you’ll find fun and intriguing cocktails you won’t find anywhere else. Suppose you stop inside and sit at the bar. In that case, you can order my favorite beverage, “A Little Razzle Dazzle,” made with Victoria Pink Gin, Guava Puree, Rosemary Simple, Dragon Fruit, and Egg White. It tastes as good as it looks.

Each artisan cocktail at this bar is handcrafted. You can even see the bartenders hard at work when you order these. These cocktails are not pre-made and are made fresh with love every time you request them. I also enjoy the WP Spritz and Coconut Pirates drinks here.

If you don’t have time to sit inside the bar, Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill has an outdoor drink menu with other featured beverages. If I’m not headed to Eet for frozen drinks, this bar is another favorite of mine.

While getting wrapped up in your visits to Disney’s four theme parks is easy, this shopping center is the perfect place for a great time on your next vacation.
