Scat Cat's Club is a lounge located at Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter. We were staying at the sister resort- Riverside- so we were able to easily hope over and go. We really enjoyed this club so I'm hoping we can go to the resort in the evening and security would let us through. Disney has become really tough with parking at the resort without a reservation, so I am not sure. Your other options are parking at Disney Springs and taking a bus over (free) or taking an Uber, if security does not let you through.
It is only open in the evening, I believe around 5pm. They also only have a few tables inside and a couple of lounge chairs. Scat Cat's Club is a jazz lounge with a band singing all different songs. You feel like you are in a jazz club in New Orleans square. They offer unique cocktails and appetizers.
We had 5 people when we visited, and it was very hard for us to sit. The tables are extremely small and if everyone is ordering food and drinks there is no space. For cocktails my friend and I went with a Chocolate Martini made with Mozart. It was so delicious and came with a chocolate twirl. It was pretty strong, I really enjoyed it. My sister ordered a classic Cosmopolitan. We always joke that we can tell a good cosmo by the color and this was a very light pink. Very good! My husband and I our other friend ordered the Old Fashion. They are more of a connoisseur and they both really enjoyed the drinks.
They have a variety of appetizers including potato puffs, fritters, po boy, wings and more. We went with a couple of different options. We first ordered the Mardi gras fritters- house made pimento cheese fritters with pepper jelly. These were pretty good. The first fritter was completely empty inside, the pimento had completely fallen out. They were also a little cold, but the flavor was there. If they were hot this would have been an A+ dish. We also ordered the Bayou wings which were smoked chicken with tossed in a sweet and sour BBQ sauce served with Cajun fries. These were very tasty, and the fries were very good as well with a nice little kick. We also ordered a side of the kettle chips which had a nice seasoning on them. My husband ordered the sassy sassagoula sliders which was a trio of sliders- fried green tomatoes with pepper jelly, BBQ Jack Fruit with slaw and fried pickles and a "fish" cake with spicy remoulade and arugula. This was actually a plant-based dish, and he loved them. He mentioned he would order them again.
They do have two different types of beignets, one savory and one with liquor inside. I wish they had just some regular beignets to order. I feel that is missing. They do sell them next door, but there are many signs that state no outside food can be brought in. For that, I believe they should sell normal ones with just powdered sugar.
All in all, this is a really great "night club" jazz bar. The music was great, the food really good, the drinks fantastic. We will definitely be trying to come back here for a night out. You do not have to be staying there to go, just be prepared on a busy night you might not be able to grab a seat.
