Best Disney Bars. My recommendations and request for spring trip ideas.

[Dunc]

Hello to all Long Island Iced Tea fans. The votes are in for the best WDW bars. The voters were: 1) Me. 2) My girlfriend. Who doesn't drink. But she enjoys being with me when I do, and has the occasional cocktail. Usually the most expensive one on the menu, somehow.
So here are my top 10. I haven't all WDW bars, so I'm very open to recommendations for upcoming trip in April.

1) Mardi Grogs at French Quarter.
This is a pool bar, without much to recommend it except Shelley, who has been there for donkey's years, and is the world's best mixologist. She also never forgets a face. Particularly if it's been resting on her bar after too many LIIT's.

2) Kimonos at The Swan.
Lovely ambience and décor. Sit at the bar, where you'll be left alone except when your glass gets low. Avoid during conventions, which is only 90% of the time.

3) Trader Sams.
Indoors. Go early. It's like the Adventurer's Club, but not quite as good. But hey, what is? (Shelley at Mardi Grogs used to work at the AC, if you ever feel in need of a Kungaloosh.)

4) River Roost at Riverside.
Only when Bob's on. He's a Marmite sort of entertainer. Teresa isn't keen. I am.

5) Crew's Cup at YC.
Sit at a table. Have some food. Awesome burgers from the same kitchen as Beaches and Cream.

6) Mizners at GF.
Great ambience, great staff, great live music from the balcony just outside the bar.

7) Jellyrolls at the Boardwalk.
If you like over-miked piano music, and conventioneers making fools of themselves, this is your spot. Go after 9.

8) Cally Grill lounge.
Worth it just for the view. And the food menu from the restaurant is available in the bar.

9) Flying Fish.
If you sit at the bar, which is awesome, the FF food menu is also available here without having to book 6 months in advance.

10) Nope, only got 9. I need a tenth. Anyone?

DH does love a LIIT and we are staying at POFQ next summer so this is fab news. I would say I'll make sure I slot it into the itinerary but we never need an excuse to stop off for a cocktail.

You don't have any spots inside the parks? Surely somewhere like the HBD lounge or Nomad Lounge would do good LIIT, we had martini and margarita flights at HBD. At Nomad DH essentially had an old fashioned and I had 2 gin cocktails. They were all delicious.

OP. The biggest bar on property is at The Wave, not that I go there often.
Very good but can get busy.

The next best one is only open to DVC Members sorry. Top of the World Lounge in BLT.

I plan to go to HBD outside bar next trip. I like the look of the martini flights and sliders. Nomads is pencilled in. I must admit, I did pop in a couple of trips ago, and the reception and service were so awful, we left without ordering. I think this was just one of those things, and I do want to give it another try. I do like an Old Fashioned. The first one I had was at FQ, mixed by Shelley. I was taking notes at the time. They became unintelligible after about 20 minutes. The Wave is on my list for a buffet breakfast. I had no idea about the large bar. Pencilling it in for pre Cally Grill drinks!
