Best Disney Springs Bars
Driving to Ft. Myers Beach from Memphis is a looong haul. It used to take us every bit of 17 hours to drive. Now, we stop in Orlando - which is about 11.5 hours from Memphis, spend the next morning at Disney Springs, then drive the final 3.5 hours to the beach!
This year, my sister, Keighlin, came with my dad and I! Since Keighlin enjoys a fancy cocktail as much as I do, we decided to spend our money on drinks instead of shopping this year :) We devised a plan of action for a bar crawl throughout Disney Springs that thoughtfully captured our love of fine dining, interesting interiors, and delicious cocktails. Below is our itinerary:
Started with Everglaze Donuts
We had to get some coffee and carbs to get the day started… Which means Everglaze donuts. While it is ridiculously expensive, it is pretty delicious. I personally LOVE anything Fruity Pebbles so I got the Fruity Pebbles milk, Fruity Pebbles donut, and iced coffee. For 2 milks, coffee, and 3 donuts, it was $30 :(
Wine Bar George
Next stop was Wine Bar George and we sat upstairs at the bar. The interior is so bright and pretty. This was my favorite stop, I think. I got a glass of 2019 Vincent Careme Vouvray (my favorite kind of white wine, and surprisingly difficult to find) and split mac & cheese bites with the group. For 2 glasses of wine and the bites, it was $36 including tip.
Enzo’s Hideaway
This was my dad and Keighlin’s favorite stop. It is an Italian speakeasy, and the interiors were by far the most beautiful. Moody lights, bright walls, but very spacious and sexy at the same time? Very thoughtfully designed.
I got the Limoncello fizz, and my sister got a Paloma.
Raglan Road
Now you know we had to stop at a pub! This was technically our first stop as we went the night we got into Orlando…
I loved the vibe in here. Irish singers, beautiful dark wood bar, great waiters! We had a great time here.
I got the Irish beer flight - Guinness, Smithwicks, Harp, Kilkenny. They were all fantastic!
Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar
This was the coolest interior in my opinion! It was an Indiana Jones-themed bar. If you’re a fan of Indiana Jones, you’ll notice some small details that give a nod to the movies :)
My sister got the German mechanic - a mix of 2 German beers, and I got a classic margarita. We also got the pretzel board with different meats, cheeses, sauces, and a giant pretzel, and also got the meatballs. The meatballs were so tender and delicious.
We were going to stop by Boathouse, but ultimately decided against it for no real reason. We also stepped inside T-Rex, but the bar was …. lacking so we didn’t stay
