  I really enjoyed my first experience here. From what I've heard the best strategy is to order off menu. And, boy is that correct. My on-menu cocktail was good. But, I also ordered a gold rush. For me, 2025 has been the year of gold rushes. Had several at so many different spots. But, this one? Top tier. My wife ordered off menu and the cocktails delivered. Ask the bartenders if they can make their version of your go to drink and be wowed.

  Underwhelming! especially considering the crazy drink prices the size of a thimble. Just another Disney money grab. Beak and Barrel was much better. More fun. More effort put into the décor. Best feature of Geo 82 is the partial wall replica of the outside of spaceship earth. Our waitress was cold and uppity.

  I checked on the app right as reservations opened for me 60 days out and I was able to get a reservation. If not, keep checking back on the app periodically for openings. We had heard great things about this bar, and that it is 21+ only, so we wanted to come check it out. To access the bar, you enter in on the right hand side of the spaceship earth exit area (as you are entering the park). There is an A frame sign at the entrance. Then there is a skinny hallway directly to your left upon entering. You check in there, and they send you up the stairs (or elevator). Then you wait in their lobby to be called to be sat. Definitely request to be sat at the bar, that is the elevated experience you are looking for here and definitely the draw of coming here. We were sat at the bar and Jeremy was our bartender. He was perfect for that job. He was well versed in all things bartending, cocktail making, bourbon, and talking to guests and making them feel welcome. When you order a drink, he tells you exactly how he is making it, with what techniques, and what ingredients. I feel like that is part of the price and experience here is seeing the crafted cocktails put into place in unique ways. We ordered the brown butter old fashioned, which comes with an ice cube that is stamped with spaceship earth on it. It was very good, it was very sweet. So for a normal old fashioned drinker who likes to taste the bourbon, this may not be for you, but for the average person who enjoys a lighter approach, this was perfect. We also ordered the bourbon flight, because there are four bourbons that are made specifically for Geo-82 and you cannot get them anywhere else. It is an Uncle Nearest, a Woodford reserve, a Blanton’s, and a Stag. Jeremy brought over all four bottles for us to look at and explained in detail the different bourbons and how they are made and each company that makes them. It was a great explanation and it made it more worth the money to hear the stories and see the bottles up close. We also ordered one of the milk cocktails (the clarified New York Sour), which was unique and different, but probably wouldn’t order again. They are a full bar, so you can ask for anything that they have the ingredients to. Jeremy was great in recommending drinks and showing us the different and unique liquors they had to make drinks with so he was able to customize one for us! Overall this was a more pricey experience, but I feel they try to make it worth it for the ambiance, the adults only atmosphere, the great service, the great bartending, and the visual of watching your drink be made with an explanation. They do have some small bites food here but we did not partake. We would definitely return here in the future, and highly recommend you come experience if you are a drink connoisseur.

  First off, wanted to warn everyone going that most drinks are pre-batched! Your $28 old fashioned was made the night before and has been sitting since then. Asked a bartender about this and he acted proud how much time they save and even mentioned they had quality problems because of it. Literally saw no one make any drinks at my hour and a half at the bar and the most that was done was pouring shots. For $28 this is insane! In terms of drinks we had the brown butter old fashioned and the strawberry black pepper sour. For the $28 and $25 per drink price tag, this was the most disappointing aspect of Geo and the reason for the low review score. This was the strangest old fashioned I’ve ever had (my favorite drink so I’ve had many in my time) and was 0% bourbon forward. It leaves you with this odd sickly flavor that I can’t begin to explain. If you are an old fashioned lover or a bourbon lover stay very clear! The black pepper sour has a nice initial hit of nice fruit flavor followed immediately by a strong bitter taste. It was impressive they pulled this off, but was not very pleasant. I’m not sure who they’re mixing these drinks for, but I can’t no recommend. The atmosphere, service, and the mushroom flatbread we tried were all very nice - but this is the only compliment I can leave Geo. Disney really missed the mark by allowing almost all of the drinks to be pre batched and I ended up literally ill from the old fashioned since the quality was that low. Until they fix the quality issues with their drinks, I can not recommend stopping by at any time during your park visit.

  This is one of the hottest reservations at Disney World, and I see why. GEO-82 is so cool because it's sort of inside Spaceship Earth (which is a major draw) and it's got a swanky, retro vibe. This is an adults-only bar that Disney did well, even if it fairly has been compared to an upscale hotel lobby bar. I was able to snag a last minute reservation for 5:30 on a weekday night. You enter on the back side of Spaceship Earth on the left if you are facing the park exit. We went in and a friendly hostess confirmed our reservation then sent us up a very long flight of curved stairs. They have an elevator too if you can't make it up the staircase. The floors are sparkling with bits of glitter and the walls are golden colored. It's a very upscale color palate, even int he "holding pen" areas. We were given a thick, cold towel that was scented with lemon to freshen up -- a very, very elegant touch on a very hot Florida afternoon. We were invited to sit in the small waiting lounge upstairs, which was nice with some cozy chairs and padded bench sitting. We waited less than a minute before we were taken to our table. The bar itself has large picture windows overlooking the new mostly concrete common area of Epcot. It's a nice view with tons of trees. They have pull-down shades for when the sun gets too harsh, and the rays do tend to beat in through the glass windows. We were seated halfway between the windows and the bar, which is gorgeous. Lots of high end liquors that stretch to the ceiling, this place is well lit and beautifully appointed. The seating is mixed, with some very nice looking plush chairs and then some not so comfy seating. We had a high top with a booth on one side and a short-backed chair on the other. The booth seating was much more comfortable than the chair. The menu here is very small but well curated. The drinks are extremely strong and unusual, but the bar will make any of your old favorites. My hubby opted for the Brown Butter Old Fashioned ($28) and I picked the Aged Rum Boulevardier ($25). Our server seemed to strongly discourage me from my chosen cocktail, warning me repeatedly that it was "very, very bitter." I told her I was sure that I wanted it, and she went away. About 10 minutes passed before she came back. She had "forgotten" our order, so we placed it again. It didn't take too long for our cocktails to come out. The presentation was lovely, even if the drinks looked on the smaller side. They were loaded with booze and obviously high quality ingredients. Both cocktails were yummy and worth a premium cost. The Old Fashioned was a standout and while I enjoyed my Boulevardier, I wouldn't order it again. Our server was inattentive, which was disappointing considering the expense of this place. She seemed scattered even though the place wasn't very busy. The food looked okay but none of the menu items appealed to us so we passed on them. The atmosphere is nice but I wish the lighting was a bit darker, and the recorded jazz music in the background was too quiet. There are nice restrooms inside, too. Other things I didn't like: there's a menu page that talks about the types of ice cubes in the drinks, and it talks about a sphere yet none of the drinks have a sphere. My large ice cube wasn't a uniform cube either (it's not that hard to make a completely square ice cube). I was also shocked at the uncleared tables and general dirtiness of the bar. Our table had a sticky residue in the corner, a knife that had been dropped on the floor, and the seat was covered in crumbs. It's the details that should matter when I'm dropping close to $100 for two drinks at a theme park. I'd definitely come back here and try another specialty cocktail. Note that there are no discounts and it's 21 and up only (no kiddos). GEO-82 is trying to be a cut above when it comes to bars and lounges, and it succeeds.
