Belly up to this cozy little Key West-style bar and try the Turtle Krawl or your drink of choice inside or by the pool. Wine and domestic and imported beer are also served. Feeling hungry? Enjoy some tasty lounge bites!
My wife and I just arrived at OKW and needed some food - nothing super heavy, yet something fulfilling. The Gurgling Suitcase was the answer!
We sat down at the bar and were greeted right away. The bartender gave us the food menu and we ordered the Conch Fritters and the Pulled Pork Nachos. She also got a Pina Colava as an extra vacation treat.
The food came out in a short time and they were exactly what we needed. The fritters were slightly too bready, but the conch was the star, as it should be. The nachos were a hit as well, as the topping to chip ratio was perfect! My wife's drink was plenty boozy as well!
Overall, if we were to stay at OKW again, this bar would definitely be a stop!

Would not recommend. For how expensive the drinks are the pours are VERY light. Tried to order a drink after leaving the pool at night, but the bartender and his assistant were too occupied making other drinks to take my order. By the time they finished making the drinks, and even handed off an extra free drink to the group in front of me, they told me they were now closed and couldn’t take my order. I had been standing there for about 10-15 minutes. If you’re gonna hand off free, pricier drinks in front of customers, I think you should be willing to hand off a free beer or something if you’re saying the computer really won’t let you put in an order, especially since you were ignoring a customer. I think it’s just because the girls in that group in front of me were blond and skinny. Also, I don’t know what the point of a bar back is if she’s just gonna stand there, she didn’t really do anything besides make eye contact with me a few times then look away and pretend like she didn’t see me. If you want good drinks I would recommend going to Port Orleans. The drinks and service there are amazing, the bartenders at Scat Cats club are always incredible and so friendly. The food there is better too. MUCH better places at Disney resorts to spend your money on drinks and service. I understand those last minute orders can be annoying sometimes, as I’ve worked plenty of food service jobs in my life, but I’ve never just ignored someone until closing so I technically wouldn’t have to take their order.

Drinks were good (very light pours), but man I cannot get over how terrible the bartender is. Very rude and dismissive. Every other aspect of this resort is perfect except the bartender. Think his name was Bryan? The one with an exceptionality.
