Dockside Margaritas

This is the anti-restaurant on a shopping promenade full of them: a tiki-ish, 1960s-Florida-fruit-stand bar perched over Buena Vista Cove where you order at the counter, grab a handcrafted margarita or a Florida craft beer, and sit outside with no host, no wait, and no dress code. Go for the low-key waterfront hang and the free live music, not for a dinner destination — the food is quick-service bar snacks, not a meal you plan around. If you want a proper sit-down or a loud club, keep walking; if you want the cheapest way to feel off the clock at Disney Springs with a drink in hand, this is it.

A weekday afternoon between 2 and 5 PM — the "Tunes at Twilight" live sets run 2 to 7 PM, so you catch music, dodge the after-dinner crush, and the covered waterfront seats are actually available.

Skip the tables near the counter and claim a stool at the railing over the cove — it's the same walk-up drink, but you trade the crowd noise for the water and a straight sightline to the stage.
