Disney Springs happy hour crawl: 11 spots, 1 epic day | Report
Did you know Disney Springs at Walt Disney World has 11 weekday “happy hour” options? We took a day to visit them all.
We went on a “happy hour” tour of Disney Springs. Yes, we visited all 11 and all in one day. Okay, we did visit each happy hour option, but only ate or drank at 10 of them.
We want this resource to help you save money when visiting Walt Disney World. Guests can find Disney Springs happy hour information on the Disney World website, but a significant amount of that information is outdated or inaccurate. Thus, this trip report will list basic information about the current Disney Springs happy hours. It will highlight things not listed on the Walt Disney World website.
Disney Springs happy hours are subject to change
We want to stress the word “current” regarding Disney Springs happy hours. These are subject to change. For example, one happy hour, Frontera Cocina Mexicana, was discontinued recently. The one at Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar stopped a few years ago. During our Disney Springs happy hour tour, we also noticed many changes have happened in recent months, with places dropping Friday happy hours, among other things.
However, several new Disney Springs happy hour opportunities have opened for guests to relax and enjoy in the last two years. They include:
- Eet by Maneet Chauhan
- Summer House on the Lake
- The Edison
- City Works Eatery & Pour House
Another long-standing option has been the House of Blues Orlando, which lives on at Disney Springs. However, the days and parameters change often, so guests should be prepared for changes in procedure at all Disney Springs restaurants.
Of note, we went on this Disney Springs happy hour tour on the day after the 2025 Super Bowl. Yes, we went on a Disney Springs happy hour tour when many people were recovering from enjoying too many beverages. We request no judgment about that decision.
Disney Springs happy hour tour
Since the times for each happy hour vary between locations, we needed a plan to make it to each one. Some start at 11 a.m. Others begin as late as 4 p.m. Though some of the Disney Springs happy hour locations have specials on the weekends or late nights, most are only available only on weekdays. In fact, places like House of Blues Orlando and eet by Maneet Chauhan currently only run happy hour specials on Monday through Thursday.
We decided to start with the Disney Springs happy hours that start around 11 a.m. Those include:
- The Hole in the Wall
- Paradiso 37
- House of Blues
- Jaleo by José Andrés
All four run for many hours on weekdays. Two have special happy hour food: House of Blues Orlando and Jaleo. We decided to start our happy hour day at The Hole in the Wall.
The Hole in the Wall happy hour at Disney Springs
The Hall in the Wall, an outdoor bar, starts happy hour at 11 a.m. Guests cam find this option between Raglan Road and Cookes of Dublin. However, we wonder if happy hour might move from this location when Paddy’s Bar opens.
Happy hour specials at The Hole in the Wall run until 5 p.m. This happy hour occurs on Mondays through Thursdays at the time of this writing. They also have happy hour specials from 9:30-11 p.m. on the same days. Guests can purchase:
- $6 domestic beer or premium well liquor
- $10 select cocktails
This Disney Springs happy hour option offers nothing special. Still, the prices are reasonable, and the service is excellent. Based on that, this happy hour location will be busy much of the day.
Our group ordered an Iced Irish for $10. This drink functioned as a coffee drink with some alcohol, in our opinion. However, starting the Disney Springs happy hour crawl with this drink worked nicely.
House of Blues Orlando
After The Hole in the Wall, we went to House of Blues Orlando. Located on the West Side of Disney Springs, House of Blues Orlando offers a happy hour from 11:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Mondays through Thursdays. Several bar food-style items, like nachos, chicken tenders, and sticky ribs, are available. The alcoholic beverage options during happy hours at House of Blue Orlando consist of:
- all beer is $2 off
- house wines or well liquors cost $6
- margaritas, mules, or Long Island iced tea costs $8
- bottle of select Rose or Pinot Gris $15
- select seltzers $4
During this stop, our group ordered the Voodoo Nachos and a mule beverage, each costing $8. The nachos offered good flavor with cheese, pickled onions, and corn. However, we preferred the happy hour nachos that were served here previously.
The mule was of reasonable quality. However, it tasted pre-made. Despite that, it is hard to complain about a mule beverage for $8 at Walt Disney World.
Paradiso 37
Paradiso 37 receives a significant amount of grief from people who write dining reviews. These criticisms come from the fact that many excellent table-service restaurants exist at Disney Springs. Paradiso serves good food and beverages. Still, it is not at the level of most other Disney Springs table-service restaurants.
Regarding the Disney Spring happy hour options, Paradiso faces the same fate regarding criticism. The daytime happy hour specials occur from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. at Paradiso 37. We chose to skip this happy hour option for a variety of reasons, which include:
- pacing ourselves for the long day of eating and drinking
- higher cost for lower portions and lower-quality beer than the other happy hour locations
- less than an ideal experience during our previous happy hour visits
Paradiso 37 also offers happy hour specials on weekday afternoons and late at night. However, we would not recommend prioritizing this Disney Springs happy hour.
Jaleo by José Andrés Disney Springs happy hour
Jaleo by José Andrés, a Spanish restaurant, calls its Disney Springs happy hour bar menu “Sangria Hour,” which offers sangria and other alcoholic beverage specials. The happy hour food options include several Spanish restaurant staples, like patatas bravas and pan con tomate.
This happy hour runs from 11:30 a.m. – 6 p.m. daily. It is only available at the bars at Jaleo.
We ordered a Mahou 5 Estrellas beer (from Madrid) for $7. Also, the group ordered the endivias for $5. The “endivias con queso de cabra y naranjas” are endives with goat cheese, oranges, and almonds. These can be compared to small lettuce wraps. Guests get six of them for only $5. We enjoyed this snack, which we have ordered many times before.
The hard part of this Disney Springs happy hour journey was to come. There were seven different happy hours left to visit.
eet by Maneet Chauhan
Many guests overlook eet by Maneet Chauhan and do not even know it is there. This counter-service restaurant resides on the far end of the Marketplace area of Disney Springs. Guests can find it between Earl of Sandwich and Disney’s Days of Christmas Shop.
This Indian street-food-style restaurant provides quality food and beverages that will not destroy guests’ Walt Disney World vacation budget. The happy hour specials run from 2-5 p.m. on Mondays through Thursdays.
During happy hours, guests receive half-off drinks. This includes a selection of Indian beer, domestic beers, wines, and cocktails. This place sometimes has happy hour food specials like a cheese quesadilla.
We were disappointed that only one of the Indian beers was part of happy hours now. The Rupee beer cost $6.50 during happy hour. Guests have more options in terms of domestic beers.
After eet by Maneet Chauhan, this happy hour crawl got real! We had six happy hours at Disney Springs to visit. Our next happy hour stop was evident based on timing.
City Works Eatery & Pour House
A new addition to the Disney Springs happy hour lineup, City Works Eatery & Pour House serves food and beverage specials from 3-5 p.m. Given the short window of this happy hour, we came here after eet by Maneet Chauhan.
Though many assumed (and some reported) that this sports bar chain’s Disney Springs location had a happy hour, it did not happen until 2024. As often happens with this location, it operates slightly differently than the City Works locations outside Walt Disney World.
However, the current happy hour specials look like one of the best values at Disney Springs. Guests can order “Sliders & Suds,” which includes two sliders and a 14-ounce beer for $13. Other happy hour specials at City Works Eatery & Pour House include:
- half-off all bar bites
- $2 off local beers, seltzers, the backyard flight, glasses of wine, and well drinks
At this location, we decided to have a snack. Based on the happy hour food specials, we ordered an appetizer. Our group got the buffalo chicken dip and a beer, the Sunshine State Florida Lager. This is one of 30 beers guests can order during this Disney Springs happy hour weekday promotion.
City Works’ buffalo chicken dip consists of pulled buffalo chicken, bleu cheese cream, housemade giardiniera, and corn tortilla chips. Though we disagreed about how much spicy kick this dip had, we agreed it made a solid bar snack.
Now, we had five other happy hours at Disney Springs to experience. Needless to say, we did not spend much time at the following five happy hour locations. Well, at least that was the plan until we faced an obstacle.
Summer House on the Lake
Summer House on the Lake opened in December 2023 and started a “Martini Hour” in 2024. This happy hour special opportunity provides bar food and beverages at special prices from 3-6 p.m. on weekdays.
During this time, martinis cost $10, wine $5, and beer $4.
The bar food options include bottomless truffle fries. Yes, they are bottomless. Also, they are bottomless for groups of up to four people.
On the day of our adventure, we arrived at Summer House on the Lake for “Martini Hour.” However, we could not find a seat. We spoke with staff that stated that the “Martini Hour” options were only available to those seated at the bars. The bigger issue related to the fact that the third bar (yes, Summer House on the Lake has three bars) was not open yet.
The two smaller bar areas had no seating when we visited at around 3:25 p.m. on a Monday. According to staff, they were going to open the third bar around 5 p.m. When we visited previously for Martini Hour, the third bar had opened earlier in the day, so your luck may be different.
We came back around 5:10 p.m. to try again. The third (and better) bar area was open. The group got the lager, the rotating beer, and a pizza. The Lobby Cut Tavern Style Pizza costed $12. However, the star of this happy hour was the full serving of beer for $4!
For those looking for a great Disney Springs happy hour for value on a beer, Summer House on the Lake is perfect. The beer does rotate, but for $4, can you really complain? The ultimate Disney Springs happy hour value might be a group of four each getting a $4 beer and sharing the Bottomless Truffle Fries for $10. That might be the best $26 for a group of four at Disney Springs ever!
The Edison Happy Hour at Disney Springs
In between visiting Summer House on the Lake, we went to The Edison. This functions as another recent arrival to the Disney Springs happy hour game. In 2024, this dining location added a happy hour on weekdays from 3-6 p.m.
The happy hour menu contains some food options, but people mostly come here for drinks. There are 11 happy hour beverage options here. Based on pricing, we suggest skipping the beer and going with 4 Roses Old Fashioned for $8. This will not be your typical Old Fashioned, but, once again, an $8 Old Fashioned is tough to beat.
STK Steakhouse Orlando happy hour at Disney Springs
Another stop we made in between visits to Summer House on the Lake was STK Steakhouse Orlando. Though this steak restaurant charges significantly for its main meals, the happy hour deals at STK Orlando deserve consideration on any budget. This place offers plenty of inexpensive bar bites ranging from $3-$9. Many of the drinks are half-off. The specialty cocktails, which usually cost around $20 -$23, cost $9 during happy hour at STK.
Even though the online menu says happy hour starts at 2:30 p.m., it does not start until 3 p.m. STK also offers happy hour specials on weekends with shorter hours and during late nights.
Our group ordered the Espresso Martini for $9 and the Falafel & Chili Tahini (with hummus) for $3. The beverage showed off the quality expected at STK.
Regarding food, guests get four falafels with their order. Our group gets these every time we visit. The STK happy hour offers the most options in terms of food and beverage. If you are looking for the upscale style of STK without paying the upscale prices, this happy hour should be on your list.
Terralina Crafted Italian patio area
Before we headed back to Summer House on the Lake for our second attempt there, we went to the casual Terralina Crafted Italian patio happy hour. Next to the Paddlefish Restaurant, guests can visit the outdoor patio area at Terralina Crafted Italian. The happy hour offers discounted beverages from 4-6 p.m. on weekdays.
Our group got a beer. This cost $6. The setting is very relaxing, but Summer House on the Lake and our last stop offer more value for beer drinkers.
Stargazers Disney Springs happy hour
Our final stop of the day was at Stargazers. This is an outdoor bar connected with Planet Hollywood. Though the location is not great, the drink specials are excellent. For guests looking for one of the best happy hour drink values and are not worried about the atmosphere or food options, Stargazers fits the bill.
The happy hour runs from 4-7 p.m. daily.
Our group got a beer. It cost $5. We were able to choose from any of the beers on tap at this price. The beverage was about the same size as the one at Summer House on the Lake. The big plus at Stargazers involves more options. The large negative is lack of happy hour food specials and it being a covered outdoor area.
Disney Springs happy hour conclusion
For those concerned, our Disney Springs happy hour crawl had a designated driver, so all involved made it home safely. For those looking for reasonable value on beverages and bar bites, Disney Springs has numerous weekday happy hour options to enjoy.
