Mobile Disney springs or city walk?

For a night out, just a few guys, looking for beer etc and a bit of fun, where would you recommend?

I’ve never been to either with that thought in mind, so looking for other people’s thoughts

My gut reaction is there are more bars at DS but it’s more fun at CW.

The floor is yours

I’m another fan of Disney Springs over City Walk.

I would agree more choices at DS. I don’t see why Citywalk would be more fun or less fun.

As I am always an onsite guest at Disney or Universal I would go to whichever was more convenient on the given night. If I was an offsite guest staying in the middle, I would probably opt for DS but certainly wouldn’t rule Citywalk out.

I am certainly no Disney fan. It would be Disney springs for me, though. It is the only part of the Disney empire that I still bother to visit.

It is simply better for size and choice... other than it has no Margaritaville... I do like Margaritaville... Nachos and if seated well, a people watchers paradise!

I would opt Disney springs too! Although city walk is certainly worth a visit if you’re close by! Have you considered boardwalk ? They have the piano bar and dance hall there too!

You could do a few beers and bars at DS then go to the Boardwalk for Jelly Roll's

For a guy's night out we can highly recommend Howl at the Moon also on International Drive. One of the best nights we have ever had out. We kept an eye on Groupon for vouchers for drinks plus signed up with Howl.

I would not consider DS if I was just looking for a few drinks with friends. Make sure you have plenty of $$$$'s if you do go there. I think it is more geared towards food than drinking. I would consider Citywalk but would probably opt for International Drive.

Millers is great value for a few beers, they always have offers on. There's also a few bars around Icon Park, that area really comes to life of a night time these days.

.. and the Yardhouse on Sand Lake has over 100 beers as well as some awesome Ciders.

City walk over DS for drinks with friends. Sitting at the Lone Palm (outside Margaritaville) looking over the water with a drink, nachos and good company... perfect!
