On Tuesday, March 3, Jon (pastorjonself on X) and I took on our 4th Annual Disney Springs Happy Hour Crawl. We did it on a Tuesday for one simple reason: not every happy hour runs on weekends, and some do not even run on Fridays. If you want maximum options, Monday through Thursday is the sweet spot.
Quick heads-up: Happy hour menus, days, hours, and prices are always subject to change. Use this guide as a planning tool, then confirm details on the official website or by asking your server or bartender when you arrive.
This post is a guide, not just a trip report. You’ll get days/times, what we ordered, prices before tax/tip, and our honest takes, so you can plan your own crawl without playing “guess the happy hour” while standing in a crowded bar.
Quick numbers:
- Total before tax & tip:$91.98
- Drinks: $72.98
- Food: $19.00
- Grand total with tax & tip: $121.36 (listed separately since menus don’t include tax/tip and neither do most budgets)
Crawl rule this year: We tried to order something new at each stop. If that wasn’t possible, we ordered something we did not get last year.
The Big Tip Before You Crawl
Plan your route by:
- Day of the week (some deals are Sun–Thu only, some are Mon–Thu only)
- Start times (some begin at opening, others at 2pm or 3pm)
- Your “must-haves” (beer value, cocktail quality, food value, or just vibes)
Also, have a safe way home. DD, hotel, rideshare, pick one before drink #1.
Disney Springs Happy Hour Crawl Stops (2026) — Listed by Earliest Start Time
Paradiso 37
Happy Hour:
- Mon–Thu: 11am–4pm and 9pm–11pm
- Fri–Sun: 11am–4pm (bar only)
What we ordered: Old-Fashioned — $9.00
My take: Skip it. In that late-morning and early-afternoon block, there are better deals, especially for beer where Paradiso tends to give less for the money. The Old Fashioned tasted watered down, and drinking an Old Fashioned in a plastic cup through a straw just gives me the creeps. They added happy hour food this year and we did not try it. If the food is still on the menu next time, we’ll give it a shot.
Hole in the Wall
Happy Hour: Sun–Thu 11am–5pm
What we ordered: Strawberry Cucumber Mojito — $10.00
My take: I like this spot. $6 domestic drafts is a solid deal, and they make good-tasting cocktails for $10. It’s an easy win if you’re starting early.
Jaleo
Happy Hour: Daily 11:30am–5pm
What we ordered: Sangria roja “La Sueca” — $7.00
My take: Best sangria I’ve ever had. The happy hour food options were scaled back this year, but what remains and what we’ve had before is excellent. If we’re calling sangria a cocktail, this is one of the best drink values at Disney Springs.
House of Blues
Happy Hour: Mon–Thu Open–5pm
What we ordered:
- You’re My Boy Blue! — $7.00 (can, not draft)
- Hummus & Pita — $10.00
My take: I love the vibe here. The happy hour food is consistently strong, and this year was no exception. I’d pay full price for the hummus & pita, especially because it comes with that cucumber and pickled onion side that’s seasoned and weirdly addictive. I don’t even like cucumbers and I still crushed it. Beer deal is fine since it’s a can, but the food is the headline.
Terralina Crafted Italian
Happy Hour: Daily 2pm–6pm (outside bar) and 9pm–11pm (inside bar)
What we ordered: Vanilla Porter — $7.00 (can, not draft)
My take: The outside bar was closed when we visited because it was slow, but they still honored happy hour inside. That actually unlocked more drink options and food than you would normally see at the outside bar setup. I regret not getting food here. That was a missed opportunity. Drink was good, and again it was a can not a draft.
eet by Maneet Chauhan
Happy Hour: Mon–Thu 2pm–5pm
What we ordered: Binny’s Brew (draft) — $4.48 (50% off)
My take: This was the second-lowest priced beverage we bought all day, and it tasted great. The location is the only downside. You have to commit to the walk, but it’s worth it for the right beer choice and value.
STK Steakhouse
Happy Hour:
- Mon–Fri: 2:30pm–6:30pm
- Sat–Sun: 2:30pm–5:30pm
- Sun–Thu: 10pm–Close
What we ordered: - Modelo Negra — $6.00 (bottle)
- STK Cheeseburger — $9.00
My take: I miss the falafels and I was disappointed they’re gone. The cheeseburger was fine and it comes with chips, but both Jon and I agree it’s not as good as their lunch burger. Drink was a Modelo and it did its job.
The Edison
Happy Hour: Mon–Fri 3pm–6pm
Status: Closed for a private event during our visit
Thoughts: Here’s the valuable lesson. Curve balls happen. Any location can have a private event and shut down normal operations, including happy hour. It just happened to be The Edison on our crawl day. When you plan your route, build in flexibility. Have a few alternate stops in the same time window, and don’t let one closed door derail the whole crawl.
Frontera Cocina
Happy Hour: Daily 3pm–6pm
What we ordered: Hercules “Lagermaiz” (draft) — $6.00
My take: This was the first time I’ve ever stepped inside. There were no happy hour food options, but the draft was light, refreshing, and a solid $6 pick if you’re beer-forward.
Summer House on the Lake
Happy Hour: Mon–Fri 3pm–6pm
What we ordered: Rotating draft (3 Sons) — $4.00
My take: Arguably the best happy hour at Disney Springs. A $4 rotating draft is hard to beat, and they also have great happy hour food. The only caveat is seating can be tricky. If you can’t land a seat at one of their bars, you can’t do happy hour. Some bars don’t open at the same time, and sometimes a bar closes early for private events. But if you can get in, it’s worth it.
City Works Eatery & Pour House
Happy Hour: Mon–Fri 3pm–6pm
What we ordered: Daybreak Lager (14 oz) — $7.50
My take: It’s a smaller beer discount at $2 off drafts, but you’re paying for variety since there are tons of options. Bar bites are 50% off and I’ve enjoyed them in past crawls. City Works is a sentimental favorite of mine. I love the vibe and the staff have always been ridiculously nice.
Stargazers
Happy Hour: Daily 4pm–7pm
What we ordered: Stella Artois — $5.00
My take: Sneaky MVP. No other Disney Springs happy hour runs past 6pm the way this does. It’s also easy to get in and out. It’s perfect if you want to grab a beer and keep walking. For beer value, hours, and convenience, this is one of the best.
Bonus Tip: Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ Squeeze Bottle Hack
Not a happy hour stop, but it’s too useful not to mention if you’re a moonshine fan.
The 22 oz squeeze bottle is a smart value play:
- Filled bottle: $24
- Refills: $16
- Empty bottle: $10 (and you can apply a Disney AP discount if you buy it empty)
Also, if you’re a veteran, you can get a discount when buying it filled.
Bottom line: If you plan on moonshine more than once, this can make refills noticeably cheaper.
Awards: Best Deals & Best Picks (2026)
- Best overall happy hour: Summer House on the Lake (the $4 rotating draft is the crown)
- Best beer deal: Summer House (best value, hardest to get)
- Runner-ups: eet (my $4.48 draft) and Stargazers ($5 drafts and open until 7pm)
- Best cocktail deal: Jaleo (the $7 sangria is out of this world)
- Best food deal: Depends on taste, but you can’t go wrong with House of Blues, City Works, or Summer House. Jaleo’s food is excellent but scaled back.
- Easiest skip: Paradiso 37 (the “less for less” math doesn’t hit for beer drinkers)
Final Thoughts
If you want the most happy hour options and the least disappointment, crawl Monday through Thursday and plan around start times. If you’re chasing pure value, Summer House wears the crown, but you may have to hunt for bar space. If you want something you can count on later in the afternoon with minimal hassle, Stargazers is a reliable closer.
So until the next blog, podcast or livestream, keep making memories.
