Disney4me Posted November 10, 2025 Report Posted November 10, 2025 Disney World’s latest lounge — The Perch at the Grand Floridian Resort and Spa –– is officially open! Welcome to The Perch! Located in the Deluxe Resort’s lobby, The Perch pays tribute to the massive ornamental birdcage that once occupied the space where it sits, but also to the hotel’s overall Victorian Floridian resort theme. After having checked out The Perch during its soft opening on Saturday, we were also on hand for the bar’s official opening day, November 10th. First off, this bar is gorgeous. The Perch It fits right into the Grand Floridian’s aesthetic with beautiful wood carvings and Victorian-appropriate details, including mirrors, light fixtures, and even the barstools. The details on the bar definitely feel upscale, and you don’t even need to sit at the bar! You can also grab a drink from the bar and find a seat in the rest of the lobby if all the stools are full. Not a lot of seating at the bar Plus, we had it confirmed to us by a server that if you are waiting for your table to be ready at one of the hotel’s restaurants, you can even bring the drinks with you into the restaurant! A great option while you are waiting to be called in. The Perch Admittedly, it did feel a little weird having a bar in the lobby, but it makes the space feel more lively. Of course, this may change as the newness wears off, but it’s definitely true for now. The menu features two specialty cocktails: The Perch Menu The not-to-be-missed Sunshine State Rum Sazerac, which features Siesta Key Coffee Rum, Demerara, Absinthe Rinse, Peychaud’s Bitters, and lemon essence for $17.50…. Sunshine State Rum Sazerac …and the super-zesty $22 Floridian 75, which features Fords Gin, Florida Citrus Cordial, and lemon topped with Taittinger ‘La Francaise’ Brut Champagne. Floridian 75 There’s also the $8 non-alcoholic Blueberry and Basil Iced Tea… Blueberry and Basil Iced Tea … a full wine list… The Perch Wine List (We tried a glass of the Bodegas Chacra ‘Barda’ Pinot Noir, Patagonia, Argentina. It has a deep red cherry flavor with a bit of juicy and sweet notes. You get a bit of tartness, but nothing too overpowering. I would say it has lots of red fruit flavors and tastes smooth on the tongue, all of which made it a great wine to sip on while relaxing in the lobby!) Bodegas Chacra ‘Barda’ Pinot Noir …and three locally brewed beers – 3 Daughters Beach Blonde Ale from St. Petersburg, Florida, Funky Buddha Floridian Hefeweizen from Oakland Park, Florida, and Cigar City Jai Alai IPA, Tampa, Florida, available for $11.75 each. The Perch As of now, the menu is constrained to those items with no hidden cocktails or other items. However, we’re hoping this will change as the operations of the bar become more streamlined.
