Spending a few days in the Disneyland hotel? Why not do a Disneyland-style pub
crawl? There are several Disneyland bars to choose from, scattered throughout the resort hotels,
Downtown Disney and
California Adventure.
There are no bars in Disneyland except for the private
Club 33, which is a membership restaurant above Pirate's of the Caribbean. However, you can find plenty of drinks and cocktails throughout Downtown Disney, the resort hotels and inside California Adventure. Additional bars near Disneyland can be found at the GardenWalk in Anaheim, which boasts a wide range of choices including Bar Louie Tavern and Grill and the Fire and Ice Grill and Bar.
Some of my personal favorites are the Uva Bar and Tortilla Jo's in Downtown Disney, or the Cove Bar and Mendocino Terrace in California Adventure. Over at the Grand Californian, the Hearthstone Lounge is a cozy and comfortable place to relax, or you can sip on tropical concoctions at Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar at the Disneyland Hotel.
In keeping with current cocktail trends, many of the Disneyland resort's drinks are made with organic seasonal fruit, spirits and herbs. Following are a few favorites from past years:
