Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort might technically be a “Moderate” hotel on Walt Disney World property, but it exudes a Deluxe atmosphere, especially when it comes to dining.

One of those top dining locations is Three Bridges Bar & Grill at Villa del Lago, a bar and lounge that offers casual dining.

I’ve eaten at Three Bridges Bar & Grill multiple times and keep coming back for more, because, well, it’s that fantastic. The following review is from my visit on March 29, 2024.

What is Three Bridges Bar & Grill?

Three Bridges Bar & Grill sits on the lake at Coronado Springs, a resort that blends Spanish, Mexican, and Southwest American cultures.

The open-air bar and lounge embodies Spanish-American ambience and cuisine. It’s one of the best lounges you’ll find at Disney World.

Three Bridges Bar & Grill is very popular and for good reason, but know that you cannot make reservations. This is a walk-up only location that’s only open later in the day into the late evening. If there aren’t any tables or bar seating available upon arrival, you can either add your name to the list in person or in the My Disney Experience app.

If you choose to add your name in the app, you have to be somewhat close to the restaurant in order to join the walk-up list.

During my March 29 visit, I joined the walk-up list in the app as soon as I got onto Coronado property. As you can see below, a little after 6 p.m., there was a 45 minute wait for three of us. It took about 60 minutes for us to be seated.

If there is open seating at the bar, you can sit there without having to put your name on the list.

More than likely, you will have to wait, but you can also show up right when Three Bridges Bar & Grill opens to have a much better chance of snagging a table without any wait.

Be sure to check the My Disney Experience app for hours, but usually Three Bridges opens at 4:30 p.m. and closes at midnight.

If you don’t want to wait for a table or are staying at Coronado and would rather eat in your room, you can order food to go from Three Bridges. In the My Disney Experience app, there is “Three Bridges Bar & Grill To Go”, which is mobile order for the dining location.

You can mobile order from the full menu for dinner and then pick it up at the restaurant.

Keep in mind that you don’t have to be staying at Coronado to try Three Bridges, but it’s important to note that sometimes Disney World can be strict about letting in non-resort guests unless they have dining reservations.

If you drive yourself or use rideshare, there’s a chance the security guard at the entrance won’t let you in to park or be dropped off, especially since Three Bridges doesn’t take reservations. If you use Disney World transportation (take a bus), there won’t be any issue.

I used rideshare during this visit, and was allowed in without any question.

How much does Three Bridges Bar & Grill cost?

Pricing varies at Three Bridges Bar & Grill, but entrees range from $18.00 to $26.00, while kids’ meals range between $10.50 and $11.50. You’ll also need to factor in if you want additional items, like appetizers, desserts, or alcoholic beverages.

If you’re on the Disney Dining Plan, it is accepted here and Three Bridges Bar & Grill To Go (1 Table Service credit per person). Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members also receive 10% off the regular price of food and non-alcoholic beverages (excluding tax and gratuity).

Here’s a look at the Three Bridges menu. This will give you a better understanding of what is available and how much food and drink items cost. There are also allergy-friendly options.

Three Bridges Bar & Grill Review

I cannot recommend Three Bridges Bar & Grill enough. For a bar and lounge, it is excellent. The restaurant has beautiful views, fantastic vibes, delicious drinks, and out-of-this-world food.

I don’t think you can really go wrong with anything on the menu, but here’s what I recommend (and what I had during most recent visit on March 29).

Three Bridges is known for its Sangria Flight (they even host Sangria University, a paid course that gives you the chance to make your own glass of sangria), which comes with four house-made sangrias for $23.00.

I didn’t get the flight this time, but I went with my favorite out of the house-made sangrias — the Espumoso (Sparkling) Sangria. This is made with Freixenet Blanc de Blancs Brut Cava, Peach Liqueur, and lemon.

You can get a glass for $15.00 or a pitcher for $40.00. This basically tastes like lemonade and is super refreshing. I love it so much. I only got a glass during my last visit, but I could easily drink a pitcher.

Next, appetizers. If you get any of the starters, order the Roasted Corn Dip for $12.00. This is a vegan dip made with roasted corn, smoked tomato-“aïoli”, “parmesan”, tajín, and tortilla chips.

This is one of my favorite dips across all of Disney World. I dream about it daily. The tortilla chips also aren’t greasy, but perfectly crisp and light.

Another solid appetizer is the vegan guacamole. For $12.00, this is a very good guacamole with the same tortilla chips served with the corn dip.

For my entree, I always order the same thing — the vegan poke bowl.

The Poke Bowl with Tofu costs $18.00 and is plant-based. It comes with basmati rice, coconut milk-lime sauce, vegetable melee, sriracha “aïoli”, and grilled pineapple.

This has changed since my last visit, but it remains a fabulous dish. You even get more, making it great for sharing. I actually shared this with my sister and it was the correct choice, especially after eating all that corn dip and guacamole.

Is Three Bridges Bar & Grill worth it?

Yes, Three Bridges Bar & Grill is worth it.

While it can be out of the way for guests staying at another hotel or coming from the park, you should give the lounge a chance. This is also a great stop for dinner after a non-park day.

If you’re staying at Coronado, it’s an even bigger perk to have access to Three Bridges. Overall, it’s a gorgeous space with top-notch views.

I mean, just look at this…

Now, of course, it might not be the best place to eat if the weather isn’t the greatest or if temperatures are unbearable. However, on a day with lovely temps and sunny skies, Three Bridges is perfection.

Then, there’s the food and drinks. Not only are they reasonably priced, but everything I’ve tried here has been fantastic.

Finally, the atmosphere is chill and relaxing. This is a really nice way to end a busy day or to continue a day of relaxation.

Because Three Bridges is so popular, you will probably have to wait for a table. Thankfully, there’s a lot to do at Coronado. I definitely recommend exploring the resort, especially Gran Destino Tower. It’s stunning!

There are also plenty of other spots to grab a drink while you wait. I prefer the Laguna Bar that serves one of my favorite drinks at all of Disney World — the Cancun Colada.

It’s like a Piña Colada, but a million times better. The Cancun Colada is $16.00 and comes with Don Q Coconut Rum, Almond Liquor, fresh lime, and piña colada and passion fruit purée.

The Cancun Colada is not listed on Laguna Bar’s menu, but they can make it for you! You can also get the frozen cocktail at the Dig Site pool bar, Siestas Cantina.

With that said, a visit to Coronado Springs is a must, especially to eat at Three Bridges and to enjoy a Cancun Colada.
