Gadzooks Pilsner - A crisp, medium-bodied European-style pilsner with a subtle and unique hop aroma.

Food
Lunch & dinner served. There's a nice patio area out front but I'm not much of an "outdoor eater", too many bugs, too much wind, too much sun, too cold etc. Why go through all the trouble of building walls if we're not going to use them? I prefer to have an appetizer at the bar, or sit at one of the high-tops in the bar area as opposed to the dining room or the patio. Big fan of the Spinach Dip...and the Kobe Burger.
If neither of those sound good to you, eat somewhere else. The regular burgers are some of the worst we've ever had, worse than fast food. If low quality beef that's been shipped in from across the country sounds good to you, well then go ahead. Seriously, the bartender standing with the manager behind him had the nerve to tell us a burger cooked medium wouldn't have any pink in it because, "it's ground beef, not a steak." The manager advised the burgers are cooked to temperature, not color. Apparently the guy doesn't own a grill, eh? The only reason a burger cooked to 160 wouldn't be pink is because it's already browned due to freezer burn, and the flavor backed up that claim.
Atmosphere
The feel of a small-time brew bar makes for a nice atmosphere to wind down. The micro-brew equipment used to brew the beer served in the bar is on display and a couple of large flat-screen tv's make it a great alternative to the super-packed ESPN to catch your favorite game. The dining room area is like a whole different world - it's boring and bland and reminiscent of a hospital cafeteria - and usually chock-full of screaming kids. Whenever we get anything here it's at the bar, or a beer to go.
Review
The best value and fun for your money is the beer sampler. You get to try all 6 of their unique specialty brews. The flavors range from super-light "Bud-Light" style lager to a very dark and hoppy Guinness-style ale. If you like to think of yourself as a beer connoisseur you will love this, if you're just getting started on becoming a beer connoisseur then I can't think of a better way to expand your beer horizons and educate your palate - you might find out you like something you wouldn't have expected! Even if you don't think you can go 'hog-wild' and try a little glass of every different beer they've got, why not grab something safe and then split a sampler with your bud?

Kobe Burger Review:
One Saturday after a long night of drinking around the world at Epcot, ahem, errr . . . research at Epcot, we decided to stop by Big River Grille and try the Kobe Burger we've been eyeballing on the menu. We started with the infamous beer sampler to share while waiting for our burger. They kindly split the burger for us so excuse the not-so-pretty photo, but for what it's lacking in looks it makes up for 100 fold in flavor. We ordered it medium with a slice of cheddar cheese. The beef is melt in your mouth tender and juicy. We think this may be the best burger at Disney, and it's not even Disney's. Definitely give this one a try on your next visit.
PTTP doesn't do a lot of food reviews, but you need to know where to find a good burger after a night of drinking!

Open Tuesday - Saturday • 9pm - 2am;)
Review ;)
PTTP has spent many a "I don't want to go home yet" nights here after a long day at Epcot. Now that this is the only place you can dance on Disney property (well, at least without looking like a weirdo), we are starting to see a slightly larger crowd on the weekends. Plus, by the time most people get here, it's after an afternoon of Drinking Around the World, so they don't care about the atmosphere and just want to dance! The more friends you can bring to have your own little group bustin' a move on the dance floor, the better.;)
