I got the batang and this is probably the best drink I’ve ever had. It’s like drinking a coke but without the sweetness. The lounge and vibes are beautiful. The food was phenomenal, highly recommend the flat bread and the hummus

I still think, the more videos I watch, that it by and large looks like a hotel lobby bar you could get anywhere. But hopefully the drinks will make up for it. It does look nice. Just not really unique.

Video reviews I have seen, including from Touring Plans, focus on the attention to detail and back story - and stress asking questions about things. Basically said if you are a fan of the history of Epcot you will love it. Obviously your milage may vary but seems like better in person and even video than still photos

Not everything needs a (fake) backstory. Sometimes, it just is what it is.

But how else will Josh justify the coffee table book with the entire backstory?

A lounge having a backstory really calls out how they have completely lost their way. They overuse words that used to have meaning as buzzwords to justify decisions.

I'm surprised "turbocharged" wasn't associated with this thing somehow.

Thank you! I have found it interesting that so many expect a bar to have some big theme. Sometimes a lounge is just a lounge.

GE0-82: The Celestial Revival of a Forgotten Distillery


Hidden within the sleek futurism of EPCOT, where innovation dances with nostalgia, lies a glowing new gem: GE0-82, an upscale adult lounge shimmering with starlit ambiance and cosmic allure. Guests who step inside are enveloped in the heady scent of aged spirits, strange spices, and whispered histories—an intoxicating blend of past and possibility.

But GE0-82 isn’t just a lounge. It’s a resurrection.

Many decades ago, on this very plot of land, there stood a humble yet beloved family distillery run by Johnny Ep and his enigmatic partner, Marge Cot. Johnny was a dreamer—his whiskey aged not only in barrels but beneath copper pyramids meant to "channel planetary energy." Marge, a quiet alchemist of botanicals, infused their spirits with forgotten herbs and lunar-timed rituals. Locals swore their gin could cure heartbreak and their bourbon inspired prophetic dreams.

But then came the Hard Times—a mysterious blight swept through the region, twisting vines, souring mash, and silencing laughter. The distillery was shuttered. Marge vanished. Johnny left behind only a scorched journal and a dusty bottle sealed with wax and stars.

For decades, the land lay dormant.

Until they came.


The Space-Triangles.

Nobody knows what they are—dimensional architects? Quantum investors? Sentient geometry?—but one crisp November night, three luminous triangles descended from the upper stratosphere and hovered silently over the ruins. Over the course of exactly 82 minutes, they reconstructed the old distillery—not brick by brick, but memory by memory. Where crumbling oak beams once rotted, there now gleamed ferroglass and gravity-tempered marble. Where barrels lay cracked and dry, crystalline orbs now float, distilling drinkable nebulae.

Thus, GE0-82 was born—named for the galactic coordinate of its reconstruction and perhaps, whispered by some, a cipher for “Galactic Epoch 82,” a forgotten time known only to the triangles and old almanacs.

The drinks here are sublime: Solar Absinthe, aged in zero-G and swirled with comet dust; Cot's Cure, a nod to Marge’s old remedy, now served smoking in an orb that pulses with bioluminescence; and the signature Ephemeral Ep, a cocktail that disappears exactly 30 seconds after the first sip—leaving only a feeling of serene clarity and vague stardust around your lips.

Some say Marge’s spirit tends bar on quiet nights. Some say the space-triangles left one of their own behind, hidden in plain sight among the crystal decanters.

But everyone agrees: GE0-82 is not just a lounge.

It’s a legend reborn.

That is an interesting backstory. But I still think it's strange that people feel every lounge has to be heavily themed.

Well I just saw the ad for Pixar’s latest movie bomb Elio and apparently SSE was taken away. So does that mean the lounge is also gone, or could the aliens not afford a $179 per person plus tax and gratuity fireworks dining package?

Got the opportunity to go yesterday and it was absolutely fantastic, great drinks (one on, and one off the menu), delicious flatbread, and really enjoyed the vibes. A little louder than I expected but spectacular views and amazing service. In my opinion a great use of existing space that would've gone untouched for a long time otherwise.

Yes it's expensive but I prefer an expensive option that I could skip rather than no option at all.

If you don't mind me asking, was the off menu drink just a standard bar drink you requested or something "secret menuish"?
