Disney4me Posted September 1 Report Posted September 1 The Turf Club Lounge has reopened at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, and we’re bringing you all the details to you right here! Turf Club Lounge The lounge has been undergoing a refurbishment, but it’s now back with an updated look and menu. The resort is only a short walk or boat ride from Disney Springs, and might be the best place to escape the park chaos and relax. Ready to see if you need to add this spot to your Disney World bucket list? Atmosphere The Turf Club Lounge is finally reopened after being closed since April 2026. The lounge is attached to the Turf Club Bar & Grill, which is currently closed for refurbishment, but staggered closures give guests more time to check out the spaces. Turf Club Lounge revamped space It’s open from 11 AM to 11 PM, giving you a great excuse to escape the park chaos and relax here at the end of the day. With the renovation, there are new tables and chairs along with carpeting. Beautiful views The brand-new bar looks spectacular as well. The whole space felt welcoming, and we think we’re going to spend a lot of hours here. New bar! Enough about the space, let’s get onto the menu! Menu The lounge offers plenty of drinks, shareable appetizers, and easy lunches or quick meals. With the refurbishment, they added some new menu items, including the Pretzel Charcuterie, and as soon as Disney released photos of it, we knew we NEEDED to try it. New Lounge menu Now that we know the menu, let’s eat! Eats We grabbed the Pretzel Charcuterie for $18, which has prosciutto, salami, pimento cheese, New York white cheddar, beer cheese, grain mustard, and pickled vegetables. Pretzel Charcuterie We’re so glad they upgraded their classic hanging pretzel because this was stellar! The homemade pimento cheese is so creamy, with plenty of that peppery taste, and was a great addition to the plate. We also loved the prosciutto and salami, and the pickled vegetables were a nice surprise. The cauliflower was spicy and crunchy and paired really well with the plate. Sharable The other additions, like the beer cheese and mustard, are more classic for a charcuterie board and, overall, created a great plate. This was a huge appetizer, so make sure you bring at least two people to share! Good pretzel, too! We also had the Herbed Grilled Chicken Sandwich, which our server recommended. It costs $19 and includes fresh mozzarella, crispy prosciutto, tomato confit, and focaccia, served with seasoned waffle fries. Herbed Grilled Chicken Sandwich Another upgrade we can get behind! We were a little distracted by how good the fries are, and you can ask for a side of their spiced, house-made aioli for dipping, which is totally worth it. Don’t even look at that ketchup; go for the aioli. Our reporter said this is “absolutely the most crave-worthy potato side I’ve had in quite a long time.” Get the aioli! The sandwich is also a total winner. The pesto was great, and the mozzarella was melted on top. There was also crispy prosciutto on it, which we didn’t know we needed in a sandwich, but we have no idea how we’ll ever live without it. A total hit Drinks To drink, we grabbed the Mint Julep for $19, which features Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon muddled with fresh mint and agave nectar. Mint Julep This was such a classic take on the mint julep! It’s even served in the classic metal cup just like the Kentucky Derby. It’s full of bourbon and mint, and ice cold with perfectly chipped ice. It’s a strong cocktail, so you’ll probably only need one, but it was incredibly delicious. The mint was well-balanced, and the ice was made with their specialty icemaker, which, as it melts, allows it to mellow out. We will definitely be getting this again. Classic Nosh or Not You should head to the Turf Club Lounge if… You’re looking for a lounge atmosphere with great food — There are quite a few lounges around Disney World, but this one has our heart. The food and drinks were excellent, and the atmosphere was very relaxing. You need late-night bites — We’re so happy the Turf Club Lounge is open till 11 PM, because it can be hard to find food late at night around Disney World. Whether you’re coming back from a long park day or escaping the hotel room in the evening, this is a great spot. You want a night out without a full restaurant experience — If you’re looking for a great date night without the hassles of a full restaurant, this could be the place. It felt intimate without being fancy and was really enjoyable. This might be a skip if… You’re not staying at Saratoga Springs or Disney Springs — While the food and drinks are great, you probably don’t need to go completely out of your way to eat here when there are closer options. You want more family-friendly dishes — Kids are welcome at the Turf Club Lounge, but there isn’t a menu that particularly caters towards the little ones here You’re ready for something more affordable — $19 mint juleps aren’t the cheapest drinks on property, while you generally can’t find drinks under $10; these are a bit steep for a quick night out. We can’t wait to come back! Overall We had a fantastic job at Turf Club Lounge and will definitely be back again. We’re so happy with all the upgrades, from the seating to the waffle fries and all the other bites in between. We thought the dishes were easy to share, and the drink was one of our favorites. This was a great spot to escape all the chaos and enjoy some late-night bites. You will find us here time and time again!
