You could always try Big River Grille & Brewing Works (Boardwalk), Todd Engish' BlueZoo Lounge (Dolphin), House of Blues or Planet Hollywood (DTD) and I have read good things about the Wave (Contemporary). I think that most Restaurants on WDW have a Bar available for "walk up seatting" and or solo diners. I will do some more research and get back to you I hope to have a more comprehensive list for you later.
Thanks guys. I am definitely checking out the Wave, I have never seen it before. I know of a few resort restaurants that have bars (Cali. Grill, Citricos, Kimonos, Il Mulino, etc.), but I'm not finding much information on restaurants in the parks, specifically Epcot. I'm most curious about places in World Showcase... I don't remember seeing bars in any of them.

Most of the restaurants in the World are not set up that way. Most, if they have a bar - it is in a separate "lounge" area where appetizers are an option - but not a full menu. This is how it is at the Victoria Falls at the Animal Kingdom Lodge and Cali Grill Lounge at the Contemporary resort, and Tambo Lounge at Poly, to just name a few. I don't know of any at the parks with an "eating at a bar" option. That style of eating, like you described, I believe is only available at ESPN and Big River - there are probably more - but i'm thinking most likely at Down Town Disney.

They have a bar at Rose and Crown but you can't order very much food there - just fish and chips and fruit and cheese - and of course, the drinki-poos!!! :lol:

Flying Fish on the Board Walk has both a bar (don't know if they serve food) and a Chef's Bar where you could typically get a single seat. The chef bar is part of the ADR system, but there always seems to be an open seat.

They recently changed the fruit and cheese plate to a meat and cheese plate. Its all the same cheeses but instead of the fruit it is a sausage and hard salami.

I personally hate eating at bars (because I cant stand alcohol), but I've actually eaten at RFC's bar and its pretty cool and very quick (even if the line is a monster outside). Plus with a safari card you get a free app!

Well it's not completely true, there are some restaurants that have bars, for instance in the Tune-In Lounge is connected to the 50's Prime Time Cafe (DHS) and they offer the full restaurant Menu.
True, my mistake.

The Brown Derby also originally had a 2nd floor bar called the Catwalk Bar that looked out over the adjacent Soundstage Restaurant. But that was closed when they converted the Soundstage into the Bear in the Big Blue House/Playhouse Disney theater. I don't know whether it offered a food menu or not.
