Dockside Margaritas

This is one of my favorite places to get drinks at while visiting Disney Springs. Great staff . Great drinks. They have live music most of the time. Tables and chairs by the water! This place is a hidden gem!

My husband and I enjoyed some lovely shade and some love music while I sipped a margarita and he sipped a mocktail. It was a nice way to relax during a busy Disney day!

One of my favorite places to visit while looking for a cool drink. Dockside Margaritas has a wide selection of mixed drinks, beers, and music. There is very comfortable seating in the shade where you can usually enjoy live music. The drink prices are about what you would expect for the area but feel the quality is superior to the majority of the surrounding spots. Staff has always been friendly and continues to be a must visit.

Got a frozen strawberry margarita. It was really good, but not without the insane price of $16.00. You'll find this price is typical for this kind of drink on Disney property, however. I recommend this place though because the staff was nice and the view in the back of the restaurant where you can sit in either high top chairs along the water or regular sit down tables was fantastic. Will attach the view and photos. We were here on a Tuesday night in late July of this year around 10 pm. It wasn't crowded, I assume because it was a week night and around the time that Disney Springs closes (11:00 P.M.). The view was gorgeous. Overlooked the water and you could see the Mary Poppins balloon raised high in the air and across from that was the Rainforest Cafe. Would totally go back.

If you’re looking for an adult beverage to enjoy at Disney Springs look no further. By far the best margarita I’ve had. They are pricey at $17-$18 each but the flavors are fresh and the tequila is strong and quality. Great place to unwind they have live music most evenings.

Great place to stop for a drink and some live music.

We LOVE this bar. Its a nonnegotiable for us that we stop here every trip to Disney springs. But let’s be honest it’s never one stop. We usually come back 3+ times because the drinks are so good. The staff is always friendly, and quick making the drinks. The watermelon margarita is delicious and the Orange Grove Rum Runner is one of my favorites.

Great relaxing atmosphere with table service drinks. I had the pina colada moved with strawberry daiquiri and was very good. Service was nice seeing how busy they were and we were treated to some wonderful live music. I think we will have to make this a regular stop when we visit. I should also mention that the view is great. You can see the rainforest Cafe, balloon ride and more, right across the lake!

A great spot for a frozen margarita to recover from the Florida heat. Tasty flavors to help you forget about the money you spent! Live music too and comfy seats. Come get cooled off and enjoy a free concert.

So happy to get a very good cocktail here any time I need it. We come often to Disney Springs. This oft overlooked location is a life saver. They have margs, and beer and a rotating rum drink. They offer great seating when you just need a drink and a break. Right on the water, super cute and chill. They often have a dude with a guitar strumming. Tap water around back!!

A must stop for us when at Disney Springs. Cocktails are always made fresh and are delicious. We tried the Pomegranate margarita on this visit and it was delicious. Perfectly mixed and not too sweet.

This is my favorite spot to spend at Disney springs. The atmosphere is great. The staff is friendly. The drink prices are kind of pricey, but they are on the stronger side. My favorite drink they offer is the orange grove rum runner. Entertainment is here on the dock area, and most of the artists are very musically talented. Tonight was Phil Bonanno and he was great with the music choices and little jokes here and there.

In Orlando for our 34th anniversary, and always spend time at Disney Springs when we come to town. Wife remembered this place from our trip last year, and we wanted to sit in the shade, enjoy some live music, and something cold to drink. I found us a table while she went to the window, and Andrew Sapin was the musician here today -- wow, does he have a voice and can play and sing pretty much anything! We stuck around for two hours because we enjoyed him so much (yes, we got more to drink), and Andrew would take and play any requests! You've got to stop by for the refreshment, the atmosphere (right on the lake under a big pergola), and the amazing music.

How can you go wrong here!!! Great Margaritas! Luckily a customer gave me the right idea. One bartender was giving what looked like a stronger pour. Love this area?!

Really great spot to grab a margarita at Disney Springs! The margaritas themselves and the service are great. The only downside is that there is only outside seating available and no fans so it can get really hot and the prices are a bit high.

Best Margaritas in Disney springs. The staff are amazing and beautiful water views make it wonderful!!

Such a pleasant spot for a drink and to listen to music. You can walk up to the bar or sit in the lounge area alongside the water. It's great!

Adorable place to have a drink by the water and listen to the live band playing nearby and also with a view of the rainforest cafe volcano that erupts. The margarita could've been a bit stronger for my liking but still good. Bartender was friendly and quick. Nothing negative to say.

I love this little margarita stand, and have been on both Disney trips. Love the watermelon margarita. First time we sat at the high top bar area facing the volcano at Rainforest Cafe and enjoyed our drinks while listening to live entertainment. Second time I got my drink to go and walked around. Both were fun and I would recommend the stop!

Friendly staff and great drinks $18 each. They have lots of flavors. You can sit and watch the birds on the water.

We had a good time listening to music and enjoying our cocktails . The bar was counter service drinks were not cheap but well made. Beautiful view to watch the sunset.

Neat place to get and drink and watch the sunset. Not as many margarita choices as I hoped as I'm a traditional top shelf on the rocks guy but I did find 1 that was terrific. Nice lounge seating and bar seating. Had a single guy playing a guitar for entertainment that was really good.

Cool little bar with live music. Everything is outside so depends on weather. It always seems to be busy so the bartenders are always running around.

Love how they actually put this place here to consider adults with great margaritas or well drinks to go. Prices are fair and the portions are normal. Best thing about it it's free pours and you can take them to go around the complex. Service is great and staff is quick and friendly.

Dockside Margaritas is a waterside walk up bar that is themed after a 1960's fruit stand. This little hut style bar has a strong reputation for making delicious margaritas so the line is usually long. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. On my most recent visit I bypassed the margaritas and ordered two Orange Grove Rum Runners. ($30.00 plus tip) The drinks were delicious and definitely something that I would order again.

Worst margarita on rocks that I have ever had. I order from Epcot and pool bars on Disney property and off property and most times we vacation in different areas, and was thinking this would be similar. Way too much margarita mix/sweet and sour plus lime juice. Could not even taste any tequila or grand marnier! It burned my throat with all the flavorings. Ended up throwing it into the trash. Ordered on the evening of 11/24/24. Sad when a place dedicated to margaritas that cost nearly $20 a pop has the worst drink out of literally every other place that I have been to.

Please note that this kiosk style bar operates in two ways: one side is a walk up quick service window, the other side is a sit and serve area with seating. They may not allow you to sit in the seating area without ordering from the waitstaff. About half of my group was caught unaware by this, but the staff accommodated us (luckily). Great spot for looking over the water towards the Marketplace side of Disney Springs. Menu carries a lot more than just margaritas. My favorites were their take on a Pina Colada and Long Island Ice Tea. Note: most of the seating is only partially covered, take the weather into consideration. That being said, grab a seat to watch the sunset over the water, the bar overlooks the amphitheater so you might get some live music in as well.

One thing is for sure: I am never disappointed by dockside margaritas. This hidden gem in Disney springs has a small but always excellently executed menu made up of frozen and rocks margaritas. They always have a seasonal feature which is usually delicious. The bartenders make balancing the perfect margarita look easy and deliver consistently amazing drinks. Whether you're a local looking for a drink to finish the night or start your vacation to Disney on a high note, this is the place for you. Dockside is a small stand tucked near the pin trading hut at Disney Springs. There's a small section of lounge seating, and some covered barstools around the back as well. Some nights, they have live music in the outdoor seating area. There are countless places around there to sit even when that area is full.

Updating this with COVID updates. Distanced and limited seating but still a cool place to hang out. Tom the server is back as well.

Dockside Margaritas is located in the Downtown Disney marketplace and has a walk up bar featuring a variety of alcoholic drink options. We chose the Dockside Iced Tea ($15). The drinks are always a great pour and service is always great. It can be slow if customers don't know what they want, so that can be hit or miss. Hey have a big patio overlooking the lake too, so it's a great spot to relax and enjoy the views!

This is a nice location at Disney Springs to have a seat and grab a drink and relax while enjoying the sunshine and live music. I go pretty often when we have friends or family in town. However, even though I go here frequently, it's only because it's one of the few options for an adult beverage while sitting outside. Since it's called "Dockside Margaritas", they obviously have them both frozen and on the rocks. They also offer beer and wine and a few other canned drinks and bottled water and non-alcoholic drinks and water, but they don't have a full bar. Every time I've been there, they have live music playing - it's usually one artist with a guitar and they're always really good, playing cover songs that are appropriate for the location (think Margaritaville and Jimmy Buffet songs). The seating options are great. They have bar seating as well as Dock bar seating that overlooks the water. They also have very comfortable patio lounge chairs and small couches with little side tables for resting your drink. The reason this only gets 3 stars is the only option for ordering drinks is to go up to the counter service window to order. It would be nice if they had a server to take orders so you could completely relax and enjoy your time, but no... you have to wait in the long line every single time someone wants a drink. And the line is always long and not very fast. It's also very expensive. All the margaritas are around $15 and they aren't that big - probably 8 oz serving. I ordered a White Claw the last time I was there since I try to keep it low carb most the time and it was over $10 once I tipped. Plus, they only have one flavor - Black Cherry. It would be nice to have at least to flavor options. I'm not sure how many beers or what types they have since I don't usually order beer here, but I'm pretty sure the beer is only available on draft and the selections are limited. So if you at Disney Springs and want a cool adult beverage while enjoy the Florida weather outside with live music, this is a good place for it. Just be prepared to wait in line to order your drink and to pay typical high Disney p

One of our favorite places to spend an afternoon in Orlando. Live music, great staff and a great Rum Runner. The music is almost always great and the entertainers are very interactive as well as the staff. I would argue that the best Disney bang for your buck in the adult beverage category is the Rum Runner here here. Either way its a great place to just sit relax, people watch, read or whatever you do to to take a load off.

Per strolled up for a Frozen Strawberry Margarita. Server was great and handled the customers pretty quickly. There are many different drink options to go with so we went with a favorite of ours. The Frozen Strawberry Margarita was like oil & vinegar. There was some frozen strawberry mix and something else. Something else because it was in or with a virgin cocktail drink so I don't think it was alcohol. It tasted good but it was 1/2 the size I expected and had zero potency as expected.

We always look forward to site seeing on the water with a margarita in hand. There is always a line out front, but if you jump around the back or sometimes even the side on crazy days the lines are much shorter. While they may not be quite as good as the Epcot Mexico stand, they are definitely a close second.

We stopped in here while we were visiting Orlando and we got a couple of drinks and it was really tasty and good prices of course we will sleep for the area but it was good on a hot day

Amazing place for Margaritas! This Disney Springs venue is know for terrific drinks and a nice patio to enjoy my selection. Service was excellent! I had the Sunset Margarita $16.00.

Whenever I end up in Disney Springs I always stumble y upon this margarita bar. Very nice location, by the water (dockside). Such nice bartenders, always helping me with questions I have. I had ordered the frozen lime margarita and it was so so good. You can never go wrong with margaritas. Drink prices vary but most are around $13/$15 each, not too bad for quality drinks!

Stoop in to watch the sunset and listen to music. Nice place. But here is a tip. Come a bit before sunset. There seems to be a shift change around 5 or so. They were slammed and it is the holiday time. Seemed short handed. Waited for a good 20 minutes before anyone came to take the drink order. Then another 15 to get the drinks..... Popular place. Not anyone fault just short handed.

Great place to grab a great drink,hang with friends and listen to live music. Margaritas are the best. Bartenders are great.

Dockside margaritas face us what was by far the standout moment of my entire vacation- a drink on the water, watching the sunset over Disney Springs. It was calm, in the distance you heard live music, and it was lively. It's worth noting that this was before the pandemic, but there's no doubt that Disney springs will be my first destination once the pandemic is over, and dockside margaritas will be my first stop.

Cool spot to grab a drink. Went on a cruise and stayed overnight...went to dinner, then came by Dockside. Chill spot! Try it.

The only place with green beer on St. Paddy's Day at Disney Springs. Crazy but that is what makes this place great.

On the water at Disney spring is this little gem of a place, perfect for grabbing a (much needed) drink for those that have spent all day travelling the parks. The kind waitstaff greet you & if available will gladly seat you with a great sunset view. The drinks are fantastic; Dockside Margaritas definitely lives up to their name, as the margaritas were phenomenal. The atmosphere was also great, the live music was right there but not too loud to be a bother. I'd gladly come back for another margarita or two.

Typically a great spot to dip out at Disney springs and have some margaritas by the water and avoid the crowds for a bit. They typically have live music playing and open seats in the back. You can watch the fountains going off and rainforest cafe volcano. Draft beers, bottled, margaritas, coladas, sangrias! The salt on the margaritas also seems like a salt/sugar blend so it is super tasty! They also let you take your margaritas to go and walk all around Disney springs.

Deciding between one or two stars but I'll go with two I guess for the location -- Disney Springs. We stood in line at the stand with a plan to grab some margaritas and walk around with them. But a server from the outdoor dock area motioned to us to come sit. Oh how inviting! but we realized there was maybe one other couple sitting there and the server kept going to people in line and even walking past to come sit. He did a good job because it filled up, and then we saw why -- a musician came and started to perform. I guess they wanted the him to have an audience. Now, I have nothing against the musician. He had a voice and an acoustic guitar and was quite excellent, talented. (different that another one that we've seen play previously, one that did an awesome instrumental version of Africa, but that's another story). In any event, the music was LOUD. it was a voice and a guitar, but the volume was turned way up we couldn't hear each other speak. I'm ok with volume with bands or something lively or at a party, club, concert, but sitting on the water with an acoustic guitar set at level 11 is not appropriate. ok now the server. He wasn't rude, well ok maybe he was, he certainly wasn't nice. My wife had a simple request to make her margarita without sugar. She asks for this everytime she orders a margarita, and bartenders worth their salt know how to do it, and she knows what to expect, how it will taste. Yes she knows it will be basically tequila and lime juice, and perhaps some other juice or possibly artificial sweetener, but the server said they couldn't do it. She asked again then he was rude in the way he explained what a margarita is. He then said, "stop worrying about the calories." She relented and we all got our margaritas and realized why they couldn't do it -- they all tasted like they were from a mix. Easily in the bottom 10% of all margaritas I've ever had, and this place has "margaritas" in the name. From a mix. We paid and left and washed it down with some great beer on tap at one of the other stands.

Looking to wet your whistle whilst spending all your money at Disney Springs? Look no further than Dockside Margaritas! This walk up wet bar and purveyor of frozen drinks supplies its customers with an array of thirst quenchers to cool off even the most industrious denizen of the shopping world that is Disney Springs. Pina Coladas, strawberry daiquiris, and margaritas all on tap, as well as tap and bottled beer. You can quench your thirst with the old standards (water, soda) while listening to some live music in a small seating area adjacent to the ordering counter. The musical acts are quite good, and the volume level is perfect for conversation and music enjoyment. Hot days ensure a line, but your patience will be rewarded with toothsome pleasures sure to cool your core!

Probably one the better places to grab a margarita in Disney Springs but the service is hit or miss (hence the 3 stars). My favorite is the Sunset Margarita!

I usually don't factor price into my reviews, because if something is priced absurdly high, or more than I'm willing to spend, I simply don't go there. However, here we are, tourist trap Disney Springs where your options are fairly limited, and this is a walk-up that really has only two aspects to review, drinks and price. The margaritas were excellent; the prices not so much, they're New York City hotel level. There are a few bar seats, but they're oddly facing away from the sunset.

Got there while the live music was playing some steel drums and managed to get some seats facing the Paddlefish. We each ordered a margarita and just chilled out for a while. I ordered the strawberry frozen one (12.50) and sipped it while enjoying the great Florida weather.

Surprisingly peaceful area with a nice water view in the midst of all the shopping hubbub at Disney Springs. Good service. Really marginal margaritas (we had frozen lime) and $16 each. That's more than in the Disney parks. We'd much rather go to Mexico in Epcot and drink margaritas there!

I used to come here for very fresh delicious margaritas but unfortunately they have recently changed both the tequila they used and the sour mix. For $18 each, I expect top notch ingredients and good tequila. Now they taste like chemicals and bad juice. Completely disappointed and won't be back.

The Margarita Bar is in the Market place area of Disney Springs. The location is the same as it has been in for years, but they have changed the patio seating area to incorporate a small stage for live music beside the lake. There is both walk-up window service and table service available. The drinks are typical Disney pricing but usually done well. It is a fun place to step away from the crowds, listen to a few tunes, and enjoy a drink.

They make good drinks here, but they are crazy expensive. Expect to pay 12-15 dollars per drink. They do have a nice patio overlooking the lake and live music to enjoy.

My wife and I split the strawberry frozen margarita. $13.75. It was good, and they provided a salted rim, too. I found it weird that tax was included but they offered a line for a tip. It's a kiosk... But I would get another one here.

Sick of shopping and need a drink? This is a perfect spot to just sit back and relax! I recently came to Disney Springs with an out of towner who wanted to hit every possible souvenir shop on Disney properties (I'm exaggerating, but it felt this way). So alas, all I wanted was a strong beverage and a nice place to sit. I found Dockside Margaritas right near World of Disney after we had spent at least an hour in the store. Perfect little spot on the water with plenty of shade, couches and great live music. The bartenders were extremely friendly and quick to serve. I ordered their Rum Runner ($11) which had a nice amount of booze in it. It was pretty sweet, but I can't complain. They had many tropical drinks priced between $9-$13 as well as a small selection of beer including Sierra Nevada Otra Vez which was the seasonal option. I preferred this place over entering the restaurants in Disney Springs and would recommend as your best drinking option if you aren't looking for food.

Amidst the endless walking in Disney Springs needless to say we needed a cocktail as a pick me up! My sister had told me about this place who is known for making margaritas so as a lover of margaritas I had to get one. And it was pretty good. The atmosphere was very relaxed there was someone there playing some music so it was a nice ambiance and the drinks were refreshing. Pricey for a margarita but hey when on vacation!

Probably coming here now for the last 7 years, comfortable seating, great views and depending on time of day some live music. The rum runner a personal favorite of mine but they also serve wine, beer and selection of other Margaritas.
