  We had a wonderful experience at The Beak and Barrel at Disney World! Everything was great from start to finish. Our service was excellent, the atmosphere was so fun and immersive, and the drinks were delicious! The snacks were awesome, too, and the kids absolutely loved them! It was such a fun experience for our whole family and a great place to take a break and enjoy some unique treats while at Disney. We would definitely recommend The Beak and Barrel and would love to visit again!

  Been here a couple times and love the chill lighting, cool air, and fun esthetic. The food could be better but the drinks and service are fun and accommodating respectively. Daniel was our service and was very kind and efficient. Another great cast member worth mentioning is Walt- A super nice individual with great jokes, very welcoming. We enjoyed coming here and liked the drinks; would love to see more sour beer options and maybe a dry cider soon. Overall- def worth visiting and will go again 💯

  This comes after having to sit on the broken down pirates ride for 40 minutes before we were de-boarded and given a lightning lane for the “trouble”. What an absolute let down. We Waited so long to try and get into this place. Figuring it would have as cool of vibes and Olga’s cantina. I went with my mom, wife, and 10mo old daughter. They decided to seat us at the communal table (not a great place with a 10mo old). I ordered the sirens whisper, it tasted like blue caraco and rubbing alcohol. You couldn’t taste rum, or a singe other flavor in the drink. Our waitress whispered to us in the noisy crowded ‘tavern’ she “hi I’ll be your rum runner”. That’s about it for immersion. The special effect was a talking parrot in line with the tiki room. All the staff wear ear plugs. The “event” was the sirens call. Everyone had to plug their ears for 10 seconds and there was some blue light. That’s it. A 10 second event and a talking parrot. No immersion, no interaction. I only took a sip of my drink. I was gonna send it back and ask for something else and even pay for both if I had to… but our waitress was nowhere to be found. No water refills. Nothing. We waited 15 -20 minutes before I got up and stood at the bar to ask for a manager. One came out, I expressed the issues, he walked away. Another manager came out and asked what was wrong. I asked why I’m talking to him when I just explained what was wrong. He put his hands up and stepped back. The other manager finally came back opened up the notepad on his phone and asked for my phone number. He “requested” 4 lightning lane passes. I told him how useless that was to me with a 10 month old since we had already spent the time taking her on every ride she could go on. They compd the meal and let us leave. They didn’t even apologize, but told me to “watch my tone”. That dude is lucky I didn’t swing on him after saying that to me. I had to go to guest services as we going to try and figure out ride hand offs with the lightning lane and watching our baby. The guest service guy told me it was just a request and we may not even seen them until tomorrow (it was our last night in the parks). So he had me walk all way to guest services in front of the park. This was all during a not so scary night starting up and I had to waste my time dealing with disneys screw ups. Absolutely UNREAL.

  There is a divider running down the middle of this bar that has semi-transparent, but not see through, glass in the upper portion. At waist height, there is a ledge for drinks. There are bar stools, which I have heard are a newer addition. If you are seated in the back half of the restaurant, you will not be able to see what is going on at the bar unless you are in the very middle (which is open). As the barker bird above the bar is the main attraction, you're going to miss a lot. The effects happen few and far between, and I didn't understand what was happening. The divider also prevents the people in the front half from seeing the effect over the fireplace, unless you are in the very middle. I don't understand why they went with the divider instead of just putting open tables, which would've allowed guests to see through. We have open tables with guests on both sides at Oga's Cantina and Trader Sam's. Why not here? We had a reservation, but still waited 15 minutes be seated. The hostess asked if it was our first time. We said it was, to which she seemed surprised and she then gave us terrible seats in the back despite the place being half empty for the entire 45 minutes we were in there. It made no sense that they had so many people waiting to get in, and then the place was half empty with a lot of great seats open. The drinks were awful too. I tried the Siren's Whisper and Lit Fuse. Probably the two worst drinks I've had on Disney property. We finished our drinks pretty quick and then had to wait like 10 minutes for the bill. Then we had to wait another 10 minutes to be able to actually pay. We just wanted to leave, not sure why the waitress was so slow. I knew the seating might be bad, so I had three reservations. After our first experience, we cancelled the next two reservations and have no plans to go back unless lots of changes are made. Bare minimum, they need to get rid of those dividers and remove the terrible seats in the corners. I would overhaul the effects and drinks menu too. Pirates is my favorite attraction, and I worry this will lessen my love of it. I was excited to try this place, and was even eyeing up some of the merch before going as I liked one of the tees, but I won't be purchasing anything related to this disaster of a bar. Really hoping this place gets fixed. There is so much potential in this idea, but this current iteration is a failure.

  As a long time trader Sam’s fan in both California and Florida I expected this to be on par if not better than trader Sam’s. It was not! The good stuff: Our server was great he was funny he moved quickly and made accommodations for us because we are mug collectors and were excited to add a new mug to our collection. The food was 7/10 not a big selection but I understand Disney is trying to churn people through so they can maximize their return. That leads us to the bad parts The Bad: We made the reservation as far in advance as possible for my wife’s birthday. We passed several open tables in the main area in view of the activities and the “show” were lead around the corner and seated against a wall with little more than a ledge to set our drinks on. No view and no consideration made for my wife’s birthday. We had to get up to see the schtick and the show. The drinks: you’re allowed a maximum of two each… they were horrible we had $160 worth of unfinished drinks in front of us. The drinks are not at all crafty they were better suited to strip paint or sterilize surgical equipment. We weren’t going to say anything, just settle up the bill and leave until a different service came over and asked if everything was satisfactory… he could clearly see 4 unfinished drinks sitting in front of us. He called the manager over and she took two of the four off our tab. I still tipped 20% on the original bill. Again our server was great! I left with our mugs,that effectively cost us $75 each. they will go on the shelf but we will never go back. Very sad because this bar has potential to be epic. As a life long pirates fan I was very disappointed that it fell flat. Big shoes to fill with Trader Sam’s in Anaheim and they did not deliver at all.
