Admire stunning views of Bay Lake as you sip on your choice of specialty cocktails, wine, cider, bourbon and more inside this stellar lounge at Disney’s Contemporary Resort.
This is a pretty cool place to grab a drink that is open late. It has a good view. The only downside of this place is it has weak/sugary drinks like a lot of other Disney places.

Spent 3 nights at the resort and hung out here "after hours" each night when everything else was shut down. Jason not only took exceptional care of everyone who was sat at the bar but was also very entertaining and engaging with his guests. The drinks were quality and there was a social atmosphere that made total strangers feel like a group of old friends.
From am architectural standpoint the curved bar is perfect for inclusive conversation, and the tables provide plenty of views, both of the lake behind the building and the atrium above. However, in my opinion I think the aesthetic vibe could be improved drastically by dimming the overhead lights somewhat after the sun goes down, and upgrading the bar cabinetry to include integrated back lighting or puck lighting. Currently it looks like any bland generic hotel or convention center bar from the mid-2000s which doesn't really match the ethos of the hotel's entire theme.

It’s a great little nook bar with gorgeous views. We thought the drinks were appropriately priced and well made (not always the case in Disney).
