GEO-82 Bar & Lounge opened at Disney World in May 2025, offering guests a great place to beat the heat and sip a delicious cocktail or mocktail right at the front of Epcot. Although I don’t drink, I wanted to visit this lounge because I heard it was beautiful and because it carries a rich history. In fact, the name GEO-82 honors the geodesic sphere at the front entrance and the year Epcot opened (1982).
Below, I share my review of Epcot’s newest adults-only lounge, GEO-82—an ideal spot for adults-only trips or for parents who leave the kids with grandparents for an hour or two while on vacation.
This meal was hosted but all opinions are my own.

Where is GEO-82 in Epcot?
You’ll find the entrance to GEO-82 inside the Spaceship Earth exit. The lounge sits at the front of Epcot inside the iconic geodesic sphere (hence the name GEO-82)—you can’t miss it. Well, you can, since no sign marks the building from the outside. But when you walk through the post-show exits of Spaceship Earth, you’ll spot an illuminated sign with the lounge’s name and a short hallway leading you to the check-in desk.
After check-in, staff invite you to take the elevator or climb the glistening staircase inspired by Spaceship Earth to reach the main dining area. Once you get upstairs, you’ll be greeted by a host and escorted to your table for your experience.
SheBuysTravel Tip: GEO-82 opens daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. for lunch and dinner. You can make reservations online up to 60 days in advance or join the walk-up list at opening.

Atmosphere at GEO-82
GEO-82 showcases a futuristic interior with copper and metallic accents and geometric overhead lighting. Tall windows in front of the bar frame views of World Celebration and World Showcase, while lounge chairs and booths create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The upscale vibe still feels casual enough for traditional theme park attire. And since the lounge doesn’t allow children, you’ll enjoy a much quieter space than many other park locations.
SheBuysTravel Tip: Check the lighting fixtures by the bar—you might spot a hidden Mickey!
Menu at GEO-82
The cocktail menu at GEO-82 impressed me with its detail. The first pages included a key describing the type of glassware, ice and preparation for each drink, which helped me know exactly what I was ordering—important when spending $20 on one cocktail.
The small food menu offers shareables like a charcuterie board, funghi flatbread, cannellini hummus, truffled ahi tuna and jumbo lump crab gateau. I recommend the funghi flatbread and the charcuterie board. Cheese lovers in particular should try the truffle cheese—it’s out of this world. These plates also make great snacks if you plan to enjoy a later dinner in the parks or at a resort.

Alcoholic Beverages at GEO-82
Although I don’t drink, friends told me the alcoholic beverages at GEO-82 taste top-notch. The menu includes specialty cocktails, beer and wine. The most popular (and most photographed) drink is the Brown Butter Old Fashioned, which servers prepare tableside with a geodesic-sphere–stamped ice cube.
At nearby tables, I saw guests ordering the High Brow Batanga, which uses GEO-82’s house-made lime cordial syrup. Bourbon drinkers can order an exclusive Disney-select bourbon flight for $49—available only at GEO-82.
Mocktails at GEO-82
The non-alcoholic menu includes just two options: A Walk Through the Garden and Manhattan in the Morning. Even though they don’t contain alcohol, both drinks cost $17.
I ordered A Walk Through the Garden, which combines Seedlip Garden 108 with basil, fennel, lemon, Hella Cocktail Co. orange bitters, The Bitter Truth celery bitters and bubbles. The drink tasted like a fancy, carbonated lemonade with a twist.
Is GEO-82 Worth It?
Yes, GEO-82 is worth a visit—especially if you want a quiet, relaxing space to enjoy a drink and stunning views. Keep in mind that Disney doesn’t include this lounge in its Dining Plan so you should plan to pay out of pocket. That said, the lounge makes a great spot to celebrate a special occasion like an anniversary or birthday. If you book your visit around fireworks time, you might even catch the show through the windows depending on where you sit too.
