The Insider’s Guide to Disney Springs’ Top Irish Pub

Published June 11, 2026 · Updated September 9, 2026

Quick take: If you want a full-service Irish dinner, live music, and a genuine pub atmosphere, Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant is the only place worth a reservation. For a faster bite or a cheap drink-stop, slip over to Cookes of Dublin, Hole in the Wall, or the brand-new Paddy’s Bar. Timing, festival calendars, and a few menu hacks will turn a regular night into an Irish-style highlight.

Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant

The Landing • Table Service • $$

Raglan Road is the flagship Irish venue in Disney Springs. It serves a full dinner menu until 11 PM, then switches to a bar-only menu that stays open “late” for quick bites. Because the space fills fast, reserve early (phone 407-938-0300 or OpenTable) – the restaurant is listed in OpenTable’s Top 100 for groups and holidays can sell out in minutes.

When to go

Live music starts Friday and Saturday evenings. Arrive 15 minutes early to claim a good seat on the stage side.
Happy hour runs 12 PM-6 PM on weekdays; drinks and appetizers drop to a fraction of the regular price.
Holiday specials – Christmas Day dinner is $39.99 per adult (turkey, duck-fat roasties, etc.). On Dec 24, 31 and Jan 1 the pub adds a Full Irish Breakfast brunch in the afternoon.
Festival weeks – The Great Irish Hooley (Labor Day weekend, Sept 2-5 2024) offers free entry, face-painting, and a special “De Fesht” brew. Reservations are a must for the brunch run (10 AM-3 PM). The St. Patrick’s Festival (Mar 11-17 2024) brings extra bands and Kevin Dundon-style dishes; a $10 cover applies to guests 18+.

Must-try dishes & drinks

Bangin’ Bangers and Mighty Mash – Guinness-battered bangers over creamy mash with onion gravy.
Chunky Munk – Beer-battered monkfish, zucchini chips, tartar sauce.
Gluten-free/Dairy-free Fish & Chips – Also available at the adjacent Cookes of Dublin counter.
Strawberry Cucumber Mojito – $17, all-natural, perfect for summer evenings.
Bush-Tail Nitro – Nitro-cold brew mixed with Bushmills Irish whiskey, $13.50, a hidden-menu coffee treat.
Ask for the classic Irish Coffee recipe; the server will walk you through the steps.

Insider tip

After 11 PM the bar-only menu still serves the Bangin’ Bangers and Chunky Munk, so you can snag a late-night Irish bite without a reservation.

Cookes of Dublin – Quick-service Counter

*The Landing • Counter Service • $

Located right next to Raglan Road, Cookes of Dublin mirrors the pub’s menu in a grab-and-go format. It’s the fastest way to get the same Fish & Chips (including the gluten-free version) and a pint of Guinness when the main dining room is packed.

Smart move: Order ahead on the Disney Dining app and pick up at the counter; you’ll shave 20-30 minutes off a typical wait.

Hole in the Wall

*The Landing • Lounge • $

Hole in the Wall is an outdoor bar that shares the Raglan Road complex. It’s a good spot to sip a draft while you wait for a table at Raglan Road or Cookes of Dublin.

Seating: Open patio, no reservations.
Atmosphere: Casual, with the same Irish-shipped furniture that gives Raglan Road its authentic feel.

Paddy’s Bar – The New Outdoor Extension

*The Landing • Lounge • $

Soft-opened March 8 2024, Paddy’s Bar adds a nine-stool patio plus a to-go line. It’s the smallest of the lot, so arrive early if you want a seat in the sun; otherwise seek the shaded corner.

Drink lineup

Three sizes – 16 oz, 24 oz, 32 oz drafts from 12 taps (Guinness, Harp, Smithwick’s, Kilkenny, plus local craft).
Tri Wishes Grand Irish Ale – A limited-time red ale co-created with Crooked Can Brewery and Arthurstown Brewing Co.; pairs perfectly with the pub’s hearty plates.

Because the bar is essentially an extension of Raglan Road, you can order the same Bangin’ Bangers or Chunky Munk for a quick plate without a table.

Timing the Experience: Festivals, Music, and Crowds

Great Irish Hooley (Sept 2-5 2024) – Free music fest, face-painting, and the “De Fesht” brew. Reserve brunch via 407-938-0300; the event draws families, so expect longer lines for the bar after 2 PM.
St. Patrick’s Festival (Mar 11-17 2024) – Authentic Irish bands and dancers. Arrive early; the $10 cover only applies after 5 PM, but seating is first-come, first-served.
Weekday evenings – After 6 PM you’ll catch live Irish music on the stage, often the best live entertainment in Disney Springs. The crowd thins after the 9 PM set, making it a good window for a quieter dinner.
Holiday weekends – Labor Day, Christmas, and New Year’s see the biggest crowds. Use the bar-only menu after 11 PM to avoid the dinner rush.

Reservation & Budget Hacks

Call ahead for any group larger than four; the phone line (407-938-0300) gets you on the reservation list faster than the app during peak times.
Use the Disney Dining Plan – Raglan Road accepts credit for both lunch and dinner, turning a $39.99 holiday dinner into a plan-friendly meal.
Split a large pitcher at Paddy’s Bar (32 oz) for a cost-effective way to sample multiple Irish drafts.
Combine a quick-service lunch at Cookes of Dublin with an evening happy-hour drink at Raglan Road to stretch your budget while still tasting the signature dishes.

Bottom Line

If you crave a full Irish night—food, music, and atmosphere—reserve Raglan Road and time your arrival for the live-music window. For a speedy bite or a cheap pint, Cookes of Dublin, Hole in the Wall, and the new Paddy’s Bar fill the gaps without sacrificing authenticity.

One takeaway: Plan around the live-music schedule, use the 12 PM-6 PM happy hour, and leverage the quick-service counter to keep the line short while still tasting the pub’s signature dishes.
