Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub Hey CC (not you Dan) the Cove Bar has great non-alcoholic drinks and it is a great place to relax and have fun. I need to check out the Uva Bar but still love the Lost Boys Bar. What does U V A represent?
Originally Posted By Ohana yes CC, go for an appetizer and sorry, i disagree about Uva Bar, its cool, but the views and atmosphere of Paradise Pier and the Bay (to me) are way better than looking at Build a Bear

Originally Posted By ksargen I'm interested in the Cove because it's in DCA. Uva is not my thing, and it's a less kid-friendly atmosphere. I have friends that go there every trip, and, while I love them, I wouldn't have my kids in there while they party. *LOL* The whole thing is more a point of curiosity than anything else. We may go in this trip, we may not. Just depends on how we're all doing. By day 5, my feet may need the drink!
Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt "I'm not sure why - maybe atmosphere, maybe the bartenders - but it's just much more fun than the Cove, IMO." I agree with this. I'm guessing that it's because Uva is usually much busier, especially in the evenings. I suppose that the Cove will become more popular as attendance at DCA grows.
Originally Posted By SuperDry I know lots of people that have been to DCA frequently and had no idea the Cove Bar existed. Also, isn't it unique in the park in that it's the only place to get a mixed drink outside of with a meal?
Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt I think it is. In fact, I can't think of any Disney park that has a bar in it. At least not one that is separate from a restaurant the way that The Cove is.
Originally Posted By SuperDry There's the Tune In Lounge that's part of the 50's Prime Time Cafe at DHS. If you don't go into the restaurant part, the lounge functions more or less like a stand-alone bar, perhaps a bit like the Cove Bar and its adjacent restaurant. That's probably the closest.
Originally Posted By CuriouserConstance tasha, no, but it's the only time I've really been drunk. I can't stomach the taste of alcohol anymore.
