REVIEW: A Disney Springs Bar ALMOST Made Us Forget Trader Sam's Is Closed!

Disney Springs is a pretty cool spot to do some shopping, hear some live music, and grab a sip.

Disney Springs

There are seriously SO many options for places to eat and drink in Disney Springs. From AMAZING desserts to boba teas, to some of our favorite restaurants; it can be pretty difficult to decide where to stop. Well, sorry, but we are making that choice harder with an unexpected bar that has SERIOUSLY stepped up its game.

Splitsville Luxury Lanes is Disney Springs’ resident bowling alley and can make for a very fun few rounds of strikes (or gutterballs). The food at this spot is surprisingly good, but what about the drinks?

Well, it’s pretty easy to find out now since Splitsville opened the walk-up Bamboo Bar last month. The menu was pretty basic (Not that we’re complaining… Have you ever known us to say no to a Dole Whip cocktail?), and now it’s been expanded to add some tantalizing options. And honestly, these options are so fun that they are helping to fill the massive Trader Sam’s hole in our hearts.

We’re trying one option that’s been at the Bamboo Bar since it opened and one that’s TOTALLY NEW to the menu! First up, the new one (duh). Take a look at the Frozen Flight for $16.

Yep, you’re seeing that right. That’s THREE frozen cocktails: the Pina Colada (Dole Whip, Coco Lopez, Bacardi Superior, and Rumhaven Coconut topped with a splash of Plantation Double Aged Rum), the Big Wave Dave (Vodka, grain alcohol, and raspberry), and the Rum Runner (151 Rum, blackberry brandy, Creme de Banana, pineapple, and lime).

For the price at Disney World, we think this flight is a total bargain because all three of these drinks are seriously boozy. We loved the Pina Colada and the Rum Runner since both had really classic flavors but the Big Wave Dave was VERY sugary.

It was kind of like drinking a boozy Blue Raspberry Icee. If that sounds like your jam, you might love it!

Next up, we sipped on the Zombie for $13. This is the one that is giving us serious Trader Sam’s vibes!! Talk about a classic tiki cocktail! In fact, this drink was created by the man credited with the launch of the tiki bar craze, Donn Beach.

Get ready for a bit of a remix on the classic with Splitsville’s signature seven-rum blend with fruit juices and spice-infused syrup.

This drink will KNOCK. YOUR. SOCKS. OFF. For the price, it is VERY boozy so we think it’s pretty fair. You can get the drink to go or in a refillable squeeze bottle, but if you drink at the bar you get more of the FULL tiki experience.

Drinking at the bar, the sip comes served in a classic tiki mug with a very adorable presentation. The top has little monkeys hanging out and a banana gummy! How awesome is that?

This drink is very, very good — like even your self-proclaimed tiki snob friend might be impressed. It’s strong and it tastes strong with delicious rum spice flavors blended in. Seriously, if you like a classic tiki drink, this could be the perfect option!

Wow! Did Splitsville’s Bamboo Bar step up its game or what? That’s pretty impressive for a bar that’s only been around a month. As always, stay tuned to DFB for all the latest reviews from Disney World!
