Irish Eyes and Tastes in the Downtown Disney® Area

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

St. Patrick’s Day may only come once a year, but it is ‘just another day’ at Raglan Road™ Irish Pub and Restaurant in Walt Disney World® Resort’s Downtown Disney® Area. Open daily for lunch, dinner, and late-night light meals, Raglan Road™ serves up authentic Irish food and entertainment. With a design and decor based off pubs in the Emerald Isles, you will likely forget that you are in Central Florida after taking a seat inside.

Guests eating at Raglan Road™ can choose from Irish classics like beef stew, colcannon soup, and Sheperd’s pie. Live entertainment, available most days, includes traditional Irish music from their house band as well as spectacular, award-winning dancers. Guest on-the-go can still curb their hunger at Cookes of Dublin – Raglan Road’s™ quick-service dining location. Raglan Road™ and Cookes of Dublin are both participating locations for the 2012 Disney Dining Plan.
