So excited to kick off our vacation - first stop was the Outer Rim. What a disappointment. The bartender obviously wished he was somewhere else. Tried to engage him with -" so do the different resorts have drinks special/specific to them?"" And what is the special drink here?" He actually looked at us - shrugged and said " all the drinks are the same at all the resorts ....i have worked here XX years " I asked about the special drink I had at Crocketts Tavern - " he said how would I know I don't go there?" WOW What a downer. I would not mention his name as any manager would with out a doubt show him the door Nice setting and a great view. Not very busy.... I know why.

Bleah, Bleah, Bleah, Bleah, Bleah, Bleah, Bleah, Bleah, Bleah, Bleah... don't go here unless you like football stadium drinks... 1 star because I can't give 0. Some chick suggested this place. But there is a bartender we must protect at all costs.

Great place to have drinks and watch the game during your Disney stay. No food available.

We spontaneously dropped by this place after hopping off the tram, initially drawn by the allure of the rooftop restaurant. Discovering it wasn't open until 5, we opted for the café instead. Our choice? The veggie flatbread, surprisingly delightful, paired with a couple of refreshing drinks from the bar. The service was great! While the contemporary resort left us underwhelmed, appearing somewhat outdated and in need of a refresh, our time here was enjoyable.

Beer was cold and the bartender was very friendly. Great place to grab a quick drink.

There's only drinks here, but they are good. It would be nice if they had appetizers. I got the Smokey Turkey, and my friend got the White Sangria.

Visited the Outer Rim while my wife and friends of mine were doing the monorail crawl here at Disney World.The service there was ok and I felt like the server was a disinterested serving us. The bar just didn't feel right..I ordered a Kentucky mule and even though I'm not the most knowledgeable person about drinks I definitely received a Moscow mule instead. It still was a decent drink we won't be in a big rush going back to that particular bar..

All drinks are reasonably priced. I ordered the Rum Sizzle to go. I should have known the word Sizzle would include something I don't like in my drink...say spicy? The menu didn't say it was in there so I took another sip. I asked the bartender if the drink included ginger. He wasn't sure but would check the label on the syrup. Sure does. He got a little worried because he thought I was allergic to ginger. Maybe so. Ginger gives me a sore throat. He apologized and made me a Blood Orange Margarita. Much better! I'll see him again tomorrow night.Nice bar that has seats by the windows overlooking the lagoon.
Outer Rim is my 2nd favorite Disney World hotel bar after the Tambu Lounge at the Poly. It was where I had my first Schofferhofer German Pilsner which I am drinking as I text this. Besides that, it has some of the best views of Bay Lake, great bartender/cast and awesome drinks. It's where we start our Monorail hops and load up for Magic Kingdom fireworks watching.

A very busy place for sure, but service does not suffer imo. It is a great little bar with great drinks. The white sangria is strong, but oh so good. Solid people watching at the Contemporary

It's a standard Disney bar with different cozy seating options (couches, high top, bar) in the Contemporary hotel. The drinks are priced on par with Disney drink stands ($11-15 cocktails, with tax and tip about $17). I tried the Rum Swizzle, which was essentially a guava mango Hurricane that worked pretty well. My friend downed two Ultimate Long Islands and said they were good.We also refilled our water bottles at Chef Mickey's next door, which had nice cold filtered water. It definitely tasted better than park water fountains. Overall, nothing to go out of your way for, and drinks came out a little slowly.

The Outer Rim is located inside of Disney's Contemporary, on the 4th floor. You can enjoy this location from 4 pm to 11pm. My wife, myself, and our friend were doing the Monorail Bar Crawl, and this was our second stop. I've always heard that this is a sports bar, I now will respectfully disagree. To me a sports bar is essentially Ale House, this isn't the case at The Outer Rim. They have high tops, tables,and lounge chairs all over the bar. It's actually a nice place sit down, relax, and have a cocktail. No food is available however, you can bring food to the sitting area. My wife, myself and our friend decided to sit at the bar. We took a look at the menu and, they have good selections. *My wife ordered the Chocolate Martini(Mozart Chocolate Liquor, Stoli Vanil Vodka, Bols White Crème de Cacao, and Frangelico) My wife absolutely love this drink so much that this will be a staple, every time we come to MK.*I ordered the Kentucky Mule(Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon, Lime Juice, and Pure Cane Sugar topped with Fever Tree Ginger Beer) I truly loved this drink. The bourbon and the ginger beer marry well.*Our friend ordered the Raspberry Mojito(Bacardi Raspberry Rum, Mount Gay Eclipse Rum, Lime Juice, Mint, and Raspberry Purée topped with Soda Water) Our friend called it danger in a glass. It was so smooth she couldn't taste the alcohol. She said she could've had 2 or 3.The other cocktails they offer looked delicious as well. *Cocktails: -Golden Haze Margarita(Teremana Blano Tequila, Grand Marnier Liqueur, Smoked Chili Bitters, Lime, and Agave)* Blood Orange Margarita(Sauza Conmemorativo Añejo Tequila, Cointreau, Lime Juice, and Blood Orange Sour)* Spicy Poblano Margarita(Patrón Silver Tequila, Ancho Reyes Verde Liqueur, Lime Juice, and Pure Cane Sugar)* Paloma(Don Julio Blanco Tequila with juices of Ruby Red Grapefruit and Lime topped with Soda Water)* Rum Swizzle(Mount Gay Eclipse Rum with Tropical Juices and flavors of Guava and Mango)* Bacardi Mojito(Bacardi Superior Rum, Lime Juice, Pure Cane Sugar, and Mint topped with Soda Water)* Antioxidant Lemonade(Van Gogh Açaí-Blueberry Vodka, Minute Maid Premium Lemonade, and Pomegranate Juice topped with Sprite)* Walk the Plank(Old Forester Bourbon, Orange Juice, Orgeat (Almond), and Lemon Juice garnished with Luxardo Gourmet Maraschino Cherries)* Smoked Turkey(Wild Turkey 101 Bourbon, Red Stag Black Cherry Bourbon, Grenadine, and Minute Maid Premium Lemonade with a hint of Hickory Smoke, garnished with Luxardo Gourmet Maraschino Cherries)* Negroni(Bombay Sapphire Gin, Campari, and Carpano Antica Sweet Vermouth)* Whiskey Breeze(Old Forester Bourbon, Cointreau, and Lime Juice with flavors of Guava and Mango)* Moscow Mule(Russian Standard Vodka, Lime Juice, and Pure Cane Sugar topped with Fever Tree Ginger Beer)* Bahama Mama(Parrot Bay Coconut Rum, Plantation Original Dark Rum, Bols Crème de Banana, and Tropical Juices)* Piña CoLava(Bacardi Raspberry Rum blended with flavors of Coconut, Pineapple, and Raspberry Purée)* Magical Star Cocktail(X-Fusion Organic Mango and Passion Fruit Liqueur, Parrot Bay Coconut Rum, Pineapple Juice, and a souvenir multicolored Glow Cube)* Ultimate Long Island Iced Tea(Bacardi Superior Rum, Tito's Handmade Vodka, Hendrick's Gin, Corazón Blanco Tequila, Cointreau, and Sweet-and-Sour with a splash of Coca-Cola)* Captain's Mai Tai(Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum, Bols Amaretto, and Tropical Juices topped with a float of Myer's Original Dark Rum)* Red Sangria(Tempranillo grapes and has flavors of raspberry, apple, and blackberry with succulent aromas of natural Valencia oranges and cinnamon)* White Sangria(Airén grapes and has flavors of banana, pineapple, and grapefruit with a hint of ginger)* Piña Colada(SelvaRey Coconut Rum, Pineapple, Agave, Orange Bitters served over ice) Aside from cocktails they do have a list of white and red wines, beer and ciders, and make mocktails.All in all I think the service was good. Our bartender was funny and kind, drinks were absolutely delicious, and it
