    Cheese and Charcuterie
    Aviva B.

    Definitely the best pool bar I have been to at Disney. I had heard this place was great, so I decided to stop in with some friends. We took the Skyliner from Hollywood Studios here, and it didn't take very long to arrive. We were easily able to get seats at the bar, but later in our visit it got very crowded, so I would try to visit earlier in the day rather than later. We started out with the Cheese and Charcuterie, which was beautifully presented. We ran out of bread at one point, and our bartender happily brought us more without us even asking. I loved the selection of cheeses and fruits, and it was the perfect thing to share. To drink we all decided to get the Pineapple Mule. It was very refreshing and just strong enough. I was still hungry after that, so I decided to order the Grilled Vegetable Pita. The flavor was pretty good and the portion size was generous, but the pita fell apart almost immediately, so I had to eat the rest with a fork. I probably would not order this again. My husband ordered the cheese flatbread, which was pretty standard but did the job. I really enjoyed my visit here, and I would definitely stop by again if I were staying at a resort on the Skyliner. The hotel is very beautiful as well to walk around.

    Beautiful pool-side bar in Disney's Riviera Resort with views of the Skyliner, lake, and seating around a firepit nearby. Service was friendly and magical, as always! Our drinks were delicious and had a fun holiday twist.

    Burger

    Nice chill bar next to pools. Tom our server was great. Chicken grilled pasta Campanelle pasta with white volute sauce. Delicious. Signature burger and fries. Brie and black garlic aioli. Not really a fan of brie, I always forget that. High quality beef blend, cooked perfected. Very good burger next time will ask for different cheese. Provence Frose ciroc vodka and rose wine. After froses at Epcot I am hooked for life. They have a machine that is constantly churning. Cocktail menu has good choices. Cookie was burnt to a crisp, ninja could use as weapon. Our waiter does not make the cookies, he gave us Mickey bars.

    We were staying at the Rivera Resort and walked down to try this Bar! The service was top notch! It always is at Disney properties. We really enjoyed this indoor outdoor seating. It was very beautiful. It's right next to one of the pools which was nice. We enjoyed our meals a lot. My husband loved his burger! The portions were HUGE. The drinks were very good as well. What a nice casual dining for this resort! Prices were reasonable as well. No DVC discounts unfortunately though!

    We stayed at the Riviera Resort and Bar Riva is conveniently located on the ground level by the pool area. It's a very lovely area that gives me Mediterranean vibes and service is friendly and efficient. I really liked my drink the strawberry daiquiri. It was the perfectly sweet refreshing drink I needed after lounging at the pool. My husband liked his pineapple mule. We ordered the cheese and charcuterie plate to share. They had other items that I was interested in but we were trying to save our appetites for dinner. The plate was just okay, I wouldn't get it again because we weren't a fan of certain cheeses on there. I have menu regrets and hope to try some of their other items if we ever come back.

    I love the monte cristo here. I'm so glad they brought Monte cristo to Disney world as I've enjoyed it so many times whenever I'm at Disneyland. The sandwich is crispy and the jam is tart enough to cut through the richness. The interior is fresh and modern, kind of remind me of the restaurants I been to in Mykonos. The service is always good, as I would expect from Disney. The only thing is getting here is a bit of a pain as they don't allow you to park here if you're not not staying here at the resort.

    Greek salad
    Ashley Y.

    We were hotel hopping and it was chilly out. The Steelers were playing so I wanted to be outside somewhere where I could watch the game. We stumbled upon Bar Riva at Disney's Riviera Resort and OMG I will be dreaming of that chicken until I go back again!!! The Parmesan garlic chicken strips were out of this world insanely good. Some of the best I've ever had and the flavor was incredible. They came with a ranch dipping sauce. We also got a Greek salad which was good. We asked for extra dressing on the side. For dessert we had the tiramisu. Also fabulous. Not pictured was an espresso martini. Not the greatest one I've ever had. Definitely not worth its price but definitely still good. We were here at night but it is right by the pool and would be a huge hit to order while spending the day at the pool. It is open and while it was cold the night we were there, they had the heating lamps on so it made it just right of a temperature while still getting to enjoy the outside. Our server was great as well. I will DEFINITELY be back and highly recommend eating here!!!

    Riviera Skillet Cookie
    Molly C.

    I've been wanting to try the skillet cookie but this restaurant for a while now and I just got the chance to go and it was delicious. I love the cookie on its own, but the ice cream on top took it to a whole other level. I also really liked the sea salt. Next was the parm-garlic chicken tenders and it was tasty with the sauce and ranch on the side. The Greek salad was so refreshing with all the toppings, like the chickpeas and the bell peppers. I would recommend getting grilled chicken on the salad, it adds some protein to the dish.

    Lemon drop martini
    Annie N.

    Bar Riva is located at Disney Rivera Resort and is pretty much a pool bar. It is table service and located directly across from their pool. This is an open-air restaurant serving food and drinks as well as a walk-up bar. I want to like this place so bad, but it just is not that great. It's not good for drinks, but it is good for food. They have a few high-top tables, regular tables and then bar seats. It is not extremely large, and can get busy, but we have never had an issue finding a table. We have been here a few times and every time I have ordered different cocktails, and they are always terrible. They have specialty cocktails as well as a small selection of beer and wine. The last time we visited, my husband and I decided to just get a regular drink that any bartender should be able to make. I chose a lemon drop martini. First it was served in a plastic cup, it was extremely sour and actually very undrinkable. It was honestly like drinking straight lemon juice. My husband ordered a Manhattan. It was also served in plastic cup, it was not made correctly, and they did not use the correct cherries, they used Marracino. They both were also very small; I would say half the size of normal martinis. When our bill came, they also charged me $3 extra for a certain type of vodka. I was never asked and actually have NEVER been asked which vodka I wanted. They also use the house unless you specify. I was very upset that I was being charged extra for not even a higher priced vodka. My husband was asked which liquor he wanted in his drink and was charged $6 extra. So basically, his drink which was small and not good, cost about $20. We will not get drinks here again. Even though the drinks are terrible, the food is fantastic. We do actually really enjoy the food here. We have had a few different items on the menu, their menu has also been updated in the last few months. This last time, my husband ordered the Grilled Chicken Pasta which has Campanelle Pasta, Fennel, Sun-dried Tomato, Spinach, Capers, and Herbs tossed with Volute Sauce. He loved it. It was light and very tasty. It was not very sauce heavy, which is what he prefers. I went with their new Chicken Strips and chose the Parmesan-Garlic Sauce. These were fantastic! One of the best chicken strips I have had in Disney. They were crispy, crunchy and full of flavor. It was very garlicky and had big strips of parmesan cheese on top. We have also tried some of the appetizers in the past, such as the arancini and the baked brie. We have always enjoyed the food here. IN the future we will return, but we will not get a mixed drink. I would recommend just getting food, and then after head upstairs to Toppolino's (the restaurant at the top of the resort) and just get a drink there, they are much better! But if you are looking to get away from the parks or looking for a good lunch this is a great spot to come. It's worth checking out for the food.

    Stopped in for an early dinner last night with my mom. I ordered the Mediterranean Salad which was $13.95 with chicken. Our server was Matt. He tried his best assisting all the tables but the restaurant here needs more servers. I also ordered a coke and it was $5. This bar and restaurant is right outside the gated pool area. They have burgers, salads and a vegan option. This restaurant is at Disney's Riviera Resort. 10/10 Definitely recommend

    Margarita and Cappuccino
    Rob S.

    One key detail to know about the Riviera resort's pool and Bar Riva--unlike the setup at the Boardwalk, the bar is not located within the fenced pool area. This design makes it more convenient for hotel guests and walk-ins, but less so for those relaxing by the pool. That said, they do have a dedicated server for poolside loungers, which was a relief, as this isn't clearly advertised anywhere. When I first arrived, I made the initial trip to the bar myself. Fortunately, about 30 minutes into my poolside lounging, a fantastic server named Tom showed up and took care of the rest. Lifesaver! The drinks are well-made but pricey. My tip: wait for the server and settle the tip at the end of your visit--it's far more convenient than tipping for each individual order at the bar. While I still lean toward preferring the Boardwalk setup, I have to admit--this place is definitely growing on me. Cheers!

    Il Tramonto
    Madison L.

    This is by far my favorite Disney pool bar! The food and drinks are so unique and absolutely fantastic! This time around, I sipped on the Il Tramonto, which has vodka, aperol, St. Germain, lemonade, turmeric, pomegranate, and orange. It was a fruity fragrant drink with floral notes. It was absolutely delicious! For food, we enjoyed the baked Brie and garlic parm chicken tenders. The Brie is always fantastic. Prepare to be surprised by the chickens tenders! They are so good and definitely not the basic nuggets you'd think! Service was good and you can't beat the pool side ambiance. We love this place.

    Stopped in here for a quick drink. Great open spot. Bartenders are great and can make you pretty much anything you want. Great spot to chill after a full day in the park

Although I didn't eat a full meal here on this trip, just a drink, the atmosphere of Rose & Crown is well worth a visit. The restaurant feels like a traditional English Pub, you can instantly imagine sitting back and staying awhile. Between the themed décor, the energy inside, and the location in the UK Pavilion, it felt like a great place to relax and enjoy the afternoon! After a busy race and plenty of walking around World Showcase, it was nice to find a spot that felt a little slower paced. I grabbed a drink, took in the atmosphere, and enjoyed a break from the crowds for a bit. I learned while visiting is that Rose & Crown also offers a dining package that includes reserved viewing for Epcot's nighttime fireworks. I didn't take advantage of it this trip, but it's definitely something I'd consider on a future visit. Rose & Crown is one of those places that just feels welcoming. Whether you're stopping in for a drink, or simply a break during your day at Epcot, the atmosphere alone makes it worth a visit!

I lived in England for a time many years ago so the England pavilion is really interesting for me when it comes to speaking with the CM's. Our server could not have been more friendly or interesting.

It's a great option for family's who may have picky edgers as British food is pretty palatable. Be aware, if you are visiting during the warm weather months & are hoping for a seat indoors in the AC, go in advance (when you arrive) and request that so they will use ample time to try to sort that out for your party. If you are seated on the patio, there are no fans and no AC. While there may be a breeze from the lake, if there's no wind, there is no breeze. If it rains they pull down the roll up walls (a thick plastic) and will keep them down for a while after wards-trapping humidity & heat inside. Highly recommend splitting the fish & chips-it's massive. The chips are excellent. There aren't a ton of menu options carp warning. While it's not my favorite location in Epcot I was pleasantly surprised and would go back without hesitation.

When I opened it, I found a shirt that read, "I'd Rather Be at Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar," along with flyers for the Halloween and Christmas events. That discovery led me to this wonderfully themed bar. This is a double review covering both the Halloween and Christmas events. These events used to be relatively easy to attend, but thanks to social media influencers, they have become extremely popular. The lines can get enormous, especially from Friday through Sunday. My advice is to visit Tuesday through Thursday and arrive early. The food was great, and the presentation--especially for the Halloween offerings--was fantastic and definitely Instagram-worthy. The specialty drinks were delicious and surprisingly strong for a Disney restaurant, although they do come with the expected Disney price tag. I've also visited when the bar wasn't decorated for a holiday, and it was still a great time. The regular food offerings are just as good, and the portions are fairly generous. The standard drinks are also perfectly enjoyable. If the weather isn't too hot, I recommend sitting outside by the lake. You'll have a beautiful view of the boats passing by, and the scenery around sunset is incredible. A fantastic spot for food, drinks, atmosphere, and the occasional archaeological revelation.
