First Impressions & Atmosphere

Stepping into Raglan Road Irish Pub is like walking into a warm, bustling pub in Dublin, except it’s in the middle of Disney Springs. The smell of freshly baked bread pudding drifts through the air, and the dark polished-wood paneling and antique decor give the dining room that timeless, lived-in pub feel.

The main stage is the heartbeat of the restaurant. Live Irish music starts up, the Celtic dancers take the floor, and the whole place feels alive. Even if you’re just coming for the food, you can’t help but tap your foot to the music.

The Menu & Dining Experience

The menu blends classic Irish dishes with a few inventive twists. There’s the famous Full Irish Breakfast, crispy pork belly, and a buttermilk chicken breast served with white wine butter sauce. For seafood lovers, the Bang Bang’s Chicken and root vegetables or the potato cake topped with Irish bacon and onion sausage are worth a look.

They also have seasonal events like the Rollicking Raglan Brunch, plus a range of Irish drinks including Magners Irish Cider and a great Tullamore Dew selection.

Since we were here for dinner, we dove right into some of the house favorites.


Our Dinner at Raglan Road

When we checked in, they initially tried to seat us at a high-top table. Normally, that might have been fine, but we’d brought my daughter, and high-tops aren’t ideal when you want to watch a stage show. We’d also requested to be in the main dining room. Part of the fun here is the view, after all. I asked politely if there was any chance of sitting on the main floor instead. They happily moved us, and it made all the difference.


From our table, we had a perfect view of the main stage, close enough to hear the rhythmic tap of the dancers’ shoes and see the joy in their expressions as they performed. I mean, we were seated right next to the stage. The Celtic dancers were outstanding, and my daughter was absolutely mesmerized.

These Irish dancers were absolutely spellbinding. Their energy was infectious and the entire restaurant was stomping and clapping to the music and their dancing.

For my main dish, I went with the Shepherd’s Pie. It came out hot, topped with perfectly browned mashed potatoes and packed with flavorful meat in a rich gravy. It’s the kind of comfort food you savor slowly.

Dessert was an easy decision: Ger’s Bread and Butter Pudding. Served in its own crock with a golden top and soft inside, it came with two sauces — caramel and cream — so you could drizzle (or pour) to your heart’s content. I didn’t hold back.

My daughter ordered from the kids’ menu, keeping things simple but still tasty. Truthfully, she was more focused on the music and dancing than her food, which tells you just how engaging the entertainment is here.

By the end of the night, we’d enjoyed great food, a fantastic show, and the kind of night that feels uniquely Disney Springs.

Service & Pace

The cast members here have that friendly, chatty pub style that makes you feel like a regular. Our server checked in often without hovering, made thoughtful drink suggestions, and got our food out quickly, even though the place was packed.


Cost & Value

Raglan Road isn’t the cheapest meal at Walt Disney World, but it’s also dinner and a show rolled into one. If you’re on the Disney Dining Plan, it’s an excellent value for 1 table service credit. Paying out of pocket, expect to spend $25–$40 per entrée, plus drinks and dessert. Given the quality of the food and the entertainment, it’s a good value, especially if you get that main floor view.


Reservations & Availability

Because Raglan Road offers live entertainment every night, tables near the stage are in high demand. You can usually find a reservation on the My Disney Experience app, but if you want prime seating, book early and note your preference when you check in. Walk-ups are sometimes available, but you’ll likely be seated farther from the action.

Is It Kid-Friendly?

Absolutely. Between the lively Irish music, the dancing, and a kid-friendly menu (Mickey-shaped waffles for brunch, chicken fingers, and simple sides), it’s one of the more fun table service restaurants for families at Disney Springs.


Location & Getting There

Raglan Road is located in Disney Springs, making it easy to get to from most Disney resorts. From Magic Kingdom, you can take a bus or drive. If you’re staying at a nearby hotel, it’s an easy walk. Parking at Disney Springs is free.


Final Verdict

If you love Irish music, hearty pub food, and a high-energy atmosphere, Raglan Road is a must-visit. It’s one of the few spots in Lake Buena Vista where you can enjoy a restaurant-quality meal and live entertainment without stepping foot in a park.

#1 Tip: Request main floor seating for the best view of the show.
