Best bars in Disney World... for food!

[RiceCrispyMickey]

Hi guys,

For our next trip to WDW we are forgoing our usual dining plan, and I figured this would be a good opportunity to try some non dining-plan eats, like the small plates you get in some of the bars and lounges. Does anyone have any recommendations for must-eat dishes in the bars and lounges at Disney?

My 3 favorite bar snacks on a Disney trip:

1- Shrimp Tacos at Crews Cup Lounge at Yacht Club
2- Sweet Onion Flatbread at Blue Zoo Lounge at The Dolphin (it has goat cheese, figs, bacon, and arugula YUM)
3- Oregon Chardonnay Fondue at Territory Lounge at Wilderness Lodge (it's served with fresh pretzel bread)

All 3 of the above mentioned lounges are also fun places to hang out for a while in the evenings. Excellent cocktails at each

Gotta agree with Crews Cup - shrimp tacos and their caesar salad is large enough to split -- the Yacht Club burger is also great...and I've heard the lobster rolls are very good too
Territory Lounge - asian chicken wings and pork nachos are good...the portobello soup is excellent too!

Are you specifically wanting to know about snack items?

One of the best thing about the lounges attached to places like the Cali Grill and Sanaa is that you can order from the restaurant menu without a reservation! Depends on getting a seat though

Would love to try HBD next trip.

The food, snacks, and room to lounge and relax at the Nomad Lounge at Tiffins at Animal Kingdom is one of my favorite spots. Really relaxed, terrific small bites, great cocktails and unique beers.

I am determined to try the bread service on this trip. I say it every trip and we never manage to make it!

Co-signing Nomad Lounge (seriously, everything) and Crew's Cup (Yacht Club burger is the best on property). The bar at California Grill is a great way to sample the offerings (especially the sushi, if you're just looking for a snack) without fighting for an ADR.

Crew's Cup at the Yacht Club is a true gem! They share a kitchen with the Yachtsman and the food quality is consistently stellar. My husband and I have tried a lot of things on their menu but our absolute favourite is the truffle fries!

Another vote for the Crew's Cup, everything we have had there has been great.

Have heard good things about these truffle fries! Definitely on the list!

I discovered this a couple of years ago, when I had a last minute trip with no chance of ADRs 6 months in advance. I went up to the California Grill bar and enjoyed drinks and a FULL MEAL, all without a rez. I've since done this several times. As long as you're not trying for too close to fireworks time, they should have room for you.

For me it's Nomad lounge, Cali Grill, and we enjoyed the outside lounge at Hollywood Brown Derby as an alternative to the other options in dhs.

The pics are from the HBD lounge from March. My granddaughter and I shared the two items as our lunch and we were full and happy when we left. I also had a yummy bloody mary and she had a diet coke with grenadine lol.
