Belle Vue Lounge

Located in the BoardWalk Resort, on the lobby level just past the elevators hides one of Disney's best lounges. Breakfast is served here in the mornings, but at 5pm, the drinks begin flowing and keep pouring until midnight at this old-fashioned lounge.

We have been told the lounge will be getting their own specialized drink menu focusing on old-fashioned cocktails that reflect the era of the hotel. As soon as the menu is posted we'll have it here.

Atmosphere
The 1940's boardwalk charm comes alive in the lounge. You'll feel like you're relaxing in your best friend's living room, as long as that best friend is filthy rich and loved the mid 1900's! You're welcome to enjoy your cocktail in one of the many comfy seats in the solarium or wander outside and enjoy your cocktail in true southern tradition, swapping stories and enjoying the warm Floridian night air on their large veranda, that's patio to you northerners out there. The beautiful warm wood, soft lighting and relaxed atmosphere is why this bar has won more than one Best of the Parks lists. Don't miss this classic Disney favorite on your next trip to the Boardwalk. Oh, and for you sport folks, you may want to head on down to that ol' ESPN club, this is the 1940's and them tele-visions ain't never gonna catch on with us.
 
 
 


Review
One of our favorite drinks anywhere used to be on the menu here way back in the day - "The Shadow" (pictured below). Fortunately, whenever we see our favorite bartenders Tim or Allen working, we know we can count on them for our Shadow fix. The good news is that Belle Vue is getting their own drink menu soon and The Shadow is making a return! They are now focusing on old-fashioned style drinks at the bar to match the atmosphere. Party Through The Parks welcomes the change to fewer frou-frou fresh fruit drinks and more traditional "scotch on the rocks" style imbibery at this classic southern bar. Although this new menu has been employee confirmed on multiple occassions, we've been waiting since early 2011. Spring 2012 update: it's not looking good for their own menu...or they're taking their time to get it just right. 
2013: So that specialty menu never panned out. Pity.

By popular demand we're including The Shadow drink recipe: 1 part Chambord, 1 part Godiva chocolate liqueur, 1 part Stoli Vanil vodka 2 parts heavy cream. Roll to combine and serve over ice.

Jellyrolls Dueling Piano Bar

Open every night at 7pm. Dueling pianos begin at 8pm. Open til 2am
$10 cover • Ages 21+ only

This lively, dueling piano bar is a huge favorite of Disney fans. Drop off a request for your favorite song to the musicians, (it helps if there's a $1 or $5 attached, wink wink) and sing along! Seating fills up fast, so if you require a table because you don't want to be standing all night, get there early. You'll find restaurant-style tables on the main floor right in front of the entertainment, and a few chairs and high-tops at the back of the building near the bar. The bar itself has ample seating as well.

Don't come here hungry though, unless you planned on a liquid dinner! They usually have a drink special of the night, like Long Islands or Alabama Slammers that come served college-style in a giant red plastic cup. Regular drinks here are more expensive than you've been paying out in the theme parks, so the special of the day can be a decent deal. While we wouldn't call this "family-friendly" (obviously since it's 21+), it's not nearly as rambunctiously adult as Pat O'Brien's Dueling Piano Bar at CityWalk can get. We think $10 per person is pretty steep for just one bar, so whenever we do go we're making a night of it since you aren't allowed to leave and come back later. They should consider an annual pass option in the future... (Just for reference, CityWalk is $12 for admission to 7 different clubs.)

Lots of great times to be had here and the performers always do an excellent job at putting on a fun and entertaining show!
