Tab was coke's original diet cola. They weren't willing to brand Diet Coke until Aspertame came out because of taste.

You forgot an important part. The can was pink because it was a woman’s drink.

Yup, Ralph's always has the Tab right next to the Fresca, where God intended it to be.
Want a super fun summer treat? Put a scoop of rainbow sherbet into a frosty tall glass of Fresca. Thank me later.

Haha! So wait, the bartender told you to stay in your spot and not move? Or the cocktail waitress told you that?
Either way, that's so awesomely bad that it's hysterical. It's like Disneyland food service is devolving into Denny's on a bad night.

i swear to god, i was absolutely baffled at how unwanted i felt going into that place. they led me inside a sardine can, gestured at a small opening at the bar and said “that’s your spot” and walked away. i felt like i was being punished! i wanted to leave as soon as i got there, which i guess is the point considering the size.
also (unrelated) are there no hooks at the bar for bags at all, or did i just get the one spot that had none?

After ten minutes of no service at our stand-up table, I finally carried the leftover dirty glasses to an empty spot at the bar and grabbed some napkins to clean the wet table. DEFINITELY not worth the overpriced drinks.

i was told before i went in that the bartender would help me as soon as i was next to be served, so i stood there patiently and waited for almost 10 minutes before someone noticed me. ironically, the only reason they noticed me at all was because of the couple that walked in moments before and immediately flagged the bartender down

Affordable, comfortable, and memorable. Pick two out of the three.
It was the hostess outside before she brought us in.

Because, as we all know, in bars at the edge of the galaxy populated by scum and villainy, everyone does what they're told and follows the rules!

I didn't mention that the bartop was dirty. The bartender was pleasant, but we saw very little of her. When the hostess was briefing us outside, she said she was making us a group of four with a couple standing nearby. In the bar, our tab came came out with their drinks on it. not cool!
You didn't want to pay some random person's tab? Don't you know Disney is all about the magic?

Had a similar experience - showed up before my time as my reservation told me to do and then was immediately scolded by the "hostess" outside for being 10 minutes early and banished me from the area and told not to return until "exactly" my time (charming). Then I was told to stand in about a two foot spot at a hightop and "not move". My little mini-prison was littered with the previous people's drinks and I stood there (as if I had a choice) for a good ten minutes before I flagged down a busboy to clean it for me and then he put the menu right on the sticky surface (nice). It is just too cramped, overwhelmed, and just an operational mess right now. BUT it is the only place resembling actual life in SWGE so get a reservation and "enjoy" it, just have your expectations set appropriately.

Ah, of course it was the hostess who was so rude. When I was in Star Wars Land in June and as I put in my TR in the review thread, I checked out the Cantina exterior and tried to see if I could get a peek inside.
The two hostesses running the check-in process were a total mess; crabbing at each other, snapping at any customer who attempted to check in for their reservation, and seemingly on the verge of yelling at everyone and storming off the job because there was a couple dozen customers there with reservations and how dare they!
Meanwhile... at any middling Outback Steakhouse or Olive Garden in America on a Saturday night, a similarly busy yet manageable lobby has a couple hostesses who can be polite and courteous and efficient as they operate their hostess desk. They can even smile!
What a mess. Just not acceptable for the prices they charge and the decades of experience managing Disneyland they have. Or had.
