Alcohol at Disneyland Park
Until recently, it was considered a difficult task to find drinks with alcohol in Disneyland Park. If you wanted a themed drink, beer or glass of wine, you needed to head to Disney California Adventure, the Downtown Disney District or a Disneyland hotel. But all of that changed when Oga's Cantina opened in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge in 2019. A few years later, the Blue Bayou restaurant added boozy drinks to its mouth-watering menu. And since then, three more table-service restaurants at Disneyland have added themed alcoholic drinks, beer and wine to their menus.
River Belle Terrace
Drinks at this eatery include an alcoholic Wildberry Mule, Cutwater Mai Tai, beer and wine. The Wildberry Mule is nice. It contains Tito's Handmade Vodka, blackberry purée, lime and ginger syrup and blackberries.
Café Orleans
The new menu at Cafe Orleans in New Orleans Square includes a new signature drink: the Bourbon Julep. There's also a Seaborn Margarita and beer and wine selections. We tried the Signature Bourbon Julep and thought it was toadally refreshing and tasty!
Blue Bayou
You can enjoy wine, specialty beers and a signature Hurricane cocktail. The drink is made with light and dark rums with passion fruit and citrus juices, garnished with a Luxardo cherry and an orange wheel. The Sweet Peach Tea with Rum is a refreshing options as well, and you can't go wrong with an Espresso Martini. The Blue Bayou has a great selection of red and white wines (even a sparkling!) and a couple of beers to choose from, including an amber lager from Covington, LA. Sip on a refillable, nonalcoholic mint julep or a Louisiana lemonade. Spring for a glow cube in this dark restaurant to set a fun vibe.
Oga's Cantina
Join the queue in person for this themed bar (reservations and Walk-Up List in the app are no longer accepted). The colorful drinks are out of this world. Everything from mouth numbing cocktails such as the Fuzzy Tauntaun to beers you can only get at Oga's such as the Jogan Blossom Hazy IPA. We frogs think Oga's has some of the best drinks with alcohol at Disneyland! You can learn more about the drinks, their nonalcoholic versions and snacks to pair with in our Oga's Cantina post.
Carnation Café
Try an Old Fashioned made with Buffalo Trace Bourbon, bitters and orange infused brown sugar syrup topped with a Luxardo cherry and a candied orange peel. Or how about a rum punch instead? During breakfast hours you can grab a mimosa. But all day there are also wines and beers to enjoy. The tadpoles can say "cheers" with a nonalcoholic orange cream soda option.
Club 33
This private club has sold alcohol at Disneyland for many years, but very few have gained access to this exclusive location.
Unfrogtunately, none of the quick-service restaurants at Disneyland Park sell alcohol.
Table-Service Alcohol at Disney California Adventure
This park hosts events such as the Food and Wine Festival, Lunar New Year and the Festival of Holidays, all of which offer special food and beverage items from festival booths, plus special seasonal items from select restaurants. But you can also order beer, wine and cocktails at all table-service locations and most quick-service locations in this park year-round. Even some carts and snack locations sell adult beverages. Some of the drinks are themed, and there are even hidden drink menus to excite those in the know.
Because there are so many to choose from, we cannot cover them all! You can find all the menus in the Disneyland app to pinpoint the perfect drink for you. That being said, we can still call your attention to a few frog parent favorites (or just fun drinks you won't necessarily find anywhere else).
Cocktails are mixed at these table-service locations:
- Lamplight Lounge and Boardwalk Dining at Lamplight Lounge — Enjoy Pixar-themed beverages and great views of Paradise Bay. My wife, Flora, likes the bubbly Sequel with dry ice. If you're looking for some beer variety, this is the spot for you! Lamplight Lounge has the biggest selection of draft, bottled and canned beer inside of the parks. Hop over to our secret menu post for some secret cocktail suggestions like the Sea Witch. During brunch, we love to sip on a mimosa flight and a Cinnamon Toast Cocktail.
- Carthay Circle Lounge — Take a step back to the Golden Age of Hollywood with these drinks in a swanky lounge setting or outdoor patio. Flora enjoys the Double Pear Martini, but there are a lot of nice drinks here.
- Wine Country Trattoria — Looking for an Aperol Spritz or a Limoncello? This outdoor Italian restaurant offers Italian cocktails, wine flights, sangria, beer and a classy atmosphere to accompany your meal. There is a great selection of wines both by the glass and by the bottle available.
- Magic Key Terrace (for Magic Key holders and their guests) — Order drinks themed to Disney attractions! Small bites accompany cocktails such as the Drop In... If You Dare and the Mulholland Mule. You can also find an assortment of wines and beers. Our personal favorites are the Shipwreck and the 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... which are both made with rum and coconut cream! Yum.
Quick-Service Alcohol at Disney California Adventure
There are a ton of spots to grab a quick drink around Disney California Adventure! Our hop tip is to use mobile order and make the grab-and-go experience even more efficient.
For a limited time – grab one of the drinks exclusive to the Disneyland 70th Anniversary Celebration! The Celebration Cocktail can be found at Hollywood Lounge and includes tequila, rum and vodka with glittery blue raspberry lemonade, topped with sprite and cherries. Pick up the Karl Strauss Brewing Company 70th Anniversary IPA at Carthay Circle Restaurant, Lamplight Lounge, Paradise Garden Grill, Port of San Fransokyo Cervecería or Wine Country Trattoria.
- Hollywood Lounge — This quick-service location sells a lot of beverages, especially seasonal cocktails, beer and wine. Plus, the super-popular Pickle Michelada!
- Bayside Brews — Visit this spot for beers and Micheladas. Don't froget about the Mickey pretzels!
- Clarabelle's Hand-Scooped Ice Cream — Ever had an ice cream float with beer? This ice cream shop is not a bar at all, but it offers a seasonal hard float. Currently, there is a mango hard float made with Mango Cart beer. Sometimes you'll find a float with Guinness or other dark beers!
- Pym's Tasting Lab — All the drinks are pre-mixed at this quick-service location. Watch the beers get filled from the bottom. Enjoy cocktails, seltzers and popping boba. Hop tip - Mobile order while you walk over. This is a hopping spot and the line can get long!
- Port of San Fransokyo Cervecería — Taste a Karl Strauss ale or lager. This is our favorite spot for a beer to go!
Cocktails
Flora enjoys a nice, themed cocktail every once in a while. Here are a few locations where you can get not so typical drinks at Disney California Adventure:
- Adorable Snowman Frosted Treats — The Pixar Pier Frosty Parfait with Spiced Rum (with non-dairy lemon soft-serve) or the It's Chile-Lime Mango Margarita! (with non-dairy mango soft-serve) are perfect frozen drinks on a hot day.
- Lucky Fortune Cookery — Wash down tasty Asian fusion dishes (such as beef birria ramen or a crispy chicken udon bowl) with a sweet Tropical Punch Cocktail or a green tea lager.
- Ritas Turbine Blenders and Cocina Cucamonga — Grab margaritas and tequila-based drinks. This is a great place to stop for a cold drink on a hot day!
- Aunt Cass Café — A Peach Soju Citrus Cocktail or a beer are your options here!
- Cocina Cucamonga Mexican Grill — Here, you'll find an assortment of beers, a classic margarita, a Horchata cocktail, seltzers and a new "Cool As a Cucumber Cocktail" (cucumber-chia lime ague Fresca with tequila) and jalapeño passion fruit margarita. Yum!
- Paradise Garden Grill — A brand-new pineapple cocktail with tequila and aqua Fresca de piña with a chili-lime-seasoned rim is made fresh at the Grill is here! We can't wait to try its sister cocktail, the Watermelon-Pineapple Cocktail with a chammy and Chile-lime-seasoned rim. You can also find a few beers and seltzers here.
- Cozy Cone Motel 4 — Vodka & All Natural Lemonade or a Vodka & Pomegranate Limeade? The answer is both! You can always find interesting cocktails, seltzers and beers. And yet, we find ourselves ordering the lemonade and limeade time and time again!
Wine
When in California, you must go wine tasting, and you can do it inside the theme park!
- Mendocino Terrace — Pair your reds, whites, rosés or bubblies with a cheese and fruit plate.
- Sonoma Terrace — You can get wine, beer and pre-made cocktails here. Look for seasonal items, especially during festivals.

Best Disneyland Hotel Bars
The most fun bar at Disneyland Resorts is, no doubt, Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar at the Disneyland Hotel. You'll want to get a reservation to dine inside and see the magic take place. We have a whole post on Trader Sam's if you want to learn more. But you can still get the drinks and food when seated outside or at the next-door Tangaroa Terrace. Besides the themed drinks, some of which magically make things happen inside the bar, you can also get Dole whip floats with rum at these locations.
There's almost always a specialty seasonal drink at Trader Sam's, such as this 65th Matterhorn anniversary Dole whip with coconut rum from 2024!
Next up is the GCH Crafstman Bar. This poolside bar has all the vacation feels (even if you're a local) and good food. It's located just inside the theme park entrance to Disney's Grand Californian from Disney California Adventure.
We also love Hearthstone Lounge off Disney's Grand Californian's lobby. It's a low-key quiet spot that's good for unwinding at the end of a long day in the theme parks. And you can get your kids a late-night grilled cheese snack here while you relax with a cold beverage.
Pixar Place Hotel is now home to Great Maple Modern American Eatery which boasts a fantastic brunch. For breakfast you can grab a mimosa, an espresso martini or even a Maple Bacon Old Fashioned if you're feeling adventurous. In fact, there's a whole list of craft cocktails to choose from!
Back over at the Disneyland Hotel, check out Palm Breeze Bar, located at the DVC tower. This outdoor restaurant has a full bar complete with delicious cocktails right by the pool. Broken Spell Lounge at the Disneyland Hotel has an impressive list of spirits, wine and beer.
