The space has a Harry Potter theme with spooky decorations, creating a unique and intimate atmosphere. They offer a mix of classic tiki drinks and specialty cocktails. My favorites were the Philosopher's Stone Fruit and Eater of Death #2. Both drinks were creative, unique, and fun to try! We loved the cocktails and would recommend checking this place out!

The Blind Rabbit is no doubt a very neat place and definitely an experience, but the reason for my…read moreone star is because my friend and I were treated absolutely terribly by one of the bartenders. We were there on Sunday, October 3rd around 3pm. We asked who the owners were because we were really impressed with the place and thought they might be the same owners as another location we had visited. There was absolutely no bad intention behind the question. The male bartender told us that no one name drops anymore. I understood what he was saying and was more than willing to move on. But then I asked him if the bar offered whiskey sours and he responded, "You really don't know what you're doing here and what you want." I was honestly so taken back by that comment. I don't normally stay quiet when someone speaks to me disrespectfully, but I was so caught off guard that I didn't even know what to say. Before that, he had also yelled out to the host that she didn't need to worry because we didn't know the owners and that she could relax. The whole interaction was completely unnecessary and made us feel very uncomfortable. We came in wanting to enjoy the atmosphere and have a good time. Instead, we left feeling disrespected and uncomfortable. There is a way to speak to customers, even if you feel they are asking questions you don't like. We did nothing to deserve that kind of attitude. The Blind Rabbit may be a great place, but unfortunately, the way we were treated by this bartender completely ruined the experience for us. Customer service matters, and unfortunately, ours was extremely disappointing.

Her warmth, genuine conversation, and generosity made us feel so welcome as tiki newbies just finding our sea legs. I had the Three Dots and a Dash and Erica's Velvet Banana, while my partner had a Lapu Lapu and a Starward Swizzle. We each tried a Snaquiri, too- and several of these ended up being some of our favorite drinks of the entire trip! Erica sent us off with amazing memories, recommendations, and what was essentially an itinerary and syllabus for our Southern California tiki adventure. We're so grateful for her enthusiasm and willingness to share her love and insight. The only downside was that Strong Water set the bar ridiculously high- it ended up being our best experience of the entire trip O_o If you're anywhere near Anaheim, Strong Water is an absolute must. We cannot recommend it highly enough!

Greg, our bartender, was amazing--super knowledgeable and great at making drinks. He made the whole experience even better. Such a fun hidden tiki bar with a unique atmosphere and incredible cocktails. We can't wait to come back and try more of their amazing concoctions!

It is not open to public. It gives you a rest from the busy park activities (and all the walking) to unwind in the cozy atmosphere. 1901 has many amazing cocktails. I can always try something new. Their Pear Martini is great. Sometimes I ask for something off the menu. The lavender drop (ask for less sweet) was nice. They also have light bite appetizers so that you don't get hungry. The dishes are similar to Carthay Circle. If Walt's and Lillian's iconic director's chairs at the bar were available, definitely try to sit there (or at least take a picture there). It's my favorite cute spot there. Cast members are nice and friendly. There's a merchandise cabinet with 1901 branded items when you enter. It would be a great idea to bring home some souvenirs from this exclusive experience. Let's talk about the rules. The rules are the same as Club 33. No video allowed. Pictures allowed for yourself and your party only - don't take pictures of other guests because of privacy reason. No pictures allowed inside the bathroom. If you ever have an opportunity to go to 1901, please go by all means!

Megan, who is the manager, saw the note and I told her that I do faint and I did just have surgery less than a month ago. She walked over to a table who was already seated, and told them what was going on and had them move. -so thank you to the table who agreed to move -and thank you so much for Megan walking over there and asking. The manager went above and beyond. I was honestly shocked she did that. But with my surgery there was no way I could sit at a high top area. So I'm extremely thankful for Megan and the staff Our server-Anthony, was great. He was extremely attentive and helped us with the menu (it's a code you scan) I told him whatever drink is the most over the top, hit me with it. He surprised me with the - cran you not,Tito's vodka, white cranberry, elderflower syrup, peach puree, lemon juice, soda water. Sadly, with the hard winds going on, most of the garnish blew away lol.

It had special art on top. He said they do not. But they do have a machine to put other things. He said if I had a photo I wanted to upload they could do that. I told him just do something very girly! Anthony brought out the drink With pink bows all on top! I loved it They have a Photo Booth! Which my girlfriend and I took advantage of Overall I think this is good for Any rooftop lover Cocktail lover Or Disney lover I highly recommend it. 5 stars all across the board

There were also a couple outdoor games like corn hole and a jumbo Connect 4.

Lots of different photo ops for you and your loved ones as well as movies playing behind the bar.

We arrived about an hour after opening, and the bar already felt completely unprepared. The bartender was eating food at the bar while we were there, and after getting our initial drinks, we were essentially left on our own. She never checked back with us, and not once were we asked if we wanted another drink. For a place I had been excited to finally visit, this was easily one of the worst bar experiences I've ever had. The service was inattentive, the atmosphere felt unprofessional, and the overall experience left a very bad impression. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back.

Once we sat outside, we were in front of ukelele players performing which was so fun. They even did some songs from Moana which my daughter loved. I popped inside to use the restroom and that was equally enchanting. We got the appetizer plate which we all loved and the short ribs with a side of the mac salad. Everything was delicious!

Trader Sam's is always a must for us, and a huge part of what keeps us coming back is the drinks,…read morethe hospitality and the amazing bartenders! Stephanie, Veronica, and Melissa are all fantastic bartenders and we are always sure to grab a drink when we see them at the bar. They consistently make our cocktails perfectly every single time, and you can tell they really know their craft and care about the guest experience. They're incredibly attentive without ever making us feel rushed. They give us time to enjoy our drinks, take in the atmosphere, and decide what we're in the mood for next while still making sure we're taken care of. That balance of great service and letting us enjoy the experience is something we really appreciate. In terms of drinks the Mojitos and specialty cocktails are to die for. They're always perfectly balanced, refreshing, and packed with flavor. Whether we're in the mood for something tropical, fruity, or a little stronger, they always seem to know exactly what to make. What we especially appreciate is that they're just as creative when we don't feel like drinking. They've made us customized mocktails that are just as fun and delicious as the cocktails. It's not just a basic juice or soda thrown together. They actually take the time to create something unique based on what we like. When it comes to food I recommend the pupu platter, salmon and ramen. They are some of my favorites! The pupu platter has a nice variety of foods that can definitely be shared amongst friends. What I especially love to come for though is a late night bowl of Ramen. Their broth has so much depth and flavor, not to mention the noodles are always cooked perfectly. Trader Sam's is always such a great experience for us. Great drinks, great service, great music and bartenders who genuinely care about what they're serving. We always look forward to coming back

So another place I was excited to check out and really thought my experience would be different. So…read morelets just jump into it. As the name says, a rooftop bar overlooking Disneyland. Direct view to see the fireworks (so we thought), chill environment, live music......what isnt there to like. Well, lets see. Not unlike when its cold weather, I see the rooftop bar has heaters everywhere in preparation for cold nights, yet we are in some pretty record breaking heat warning environments in California right now, 92 degrees at 6pm, this was 89 at 9pm, yet not a single fan in sight, not even to just circulate air lightly, which makes all the difference in the world. So its hot, everyone is sweaty, we look through the drink list, we all were super full from dinner somewhere else, and we tried some if their specialty drinks.....the lumiere, the AM after dark, the queen bee , one of our party ordered a double macallan 12. Another a mocktail. Let's start with the lumiere. This is wayyy too sweet. Boba throughout, heavy handed on the simple syrup, and I couldnt taste any vodka. Extremely light handed with the liquor. The Queen Bee is another one that was wayyy to sweet. I just expected them to have some good drinks, but wasnt impressed The friends that had the AM after dark liked it but noted it could have been less sweet. I then make it simple. I order a titos and soda my other friend ordered a titos and cranberry and those were better, no way to hide the liquor with sugar water. Those fireworks we were stoked to see via rooftop could only be seen partially by our party as the design of the seating has some blind spots being blocked by plants for privacy, but total obstruction of any rooftop view unless we turn away from our party and slip in between the plants. Not a great esthetic. Our reservation was for 9. The table wasnt ready til 915 and the server comes to tell us its last call like 30 min after we arrive. We orderd over $250 worth of drinks and were sipping and talking despite the heat we were making the best of it, only to be told they closed and are shutting down the elevator at 10 something. (Why take 9pm reservations?) We noticed however, 4 separate couple at the bar with drinks as well and no one rushing them to an elevator. Was super bizarre. Then they add an automatic service charge/gratuity,which we usually give more than, but noticed since its automatic, u get the service u get. All in all the drinks gave me heart burn and a sugar attack! The set up needs some rethinking. The love band was good, they performed more upbeat, modified versions of recognizable popular songs and I cant complain there. Bathrooms weren't tended to and had two stuffed toilets, no soap in one sink and just wasnt expected. It is also bizarre that a hotel ,near Disney resort and downtown Disney closes the bar so early,where we could barely finish one drink (couldnt finish the sweet ones). So we left when told the elevators would be shut down and headed down to the lobby bar. Here we were met with a pretty awesome server, super great personality, very accommodating. But sadly this bar also makes very sweet drinks versus balanced and also called a very quick last call,lmao. (Weird given the opportunity to really cater to guests in the resort area) The valet staff outside were so awesome!! We were simply waiting for our ride hare pick up and they were interactive with us, fun,kind, hospitable and even opened our car doors for us to get in our rideshare and we totally didnt require or expect it! Those 3 were super great. Sadly,I always end up having to visit this hotel for business or personal events ,so i probably will patronize the lobby bar, but I think this is a no go for Rise Rooftop bar without some serious conceptual upgrades. Comfort should be the forefront of this type of business. Pivot when needed. Light fans , good quality drinks. Reasonable pricing and excellent customer service may create repeat customers. Oh and a Maccalan 12 double for $62 and wasnt a heavy pour double, actually outrageous. Its the 12!!! Anyway, proceed as you wish, but there are so many new bars popping up in the area with real mixologists that make well balanced drinks, cool temperature when its hot outide, warm temperature when its cool outside. Reasonable prices and later hours. I recommend checking those out as well and spread the love. Our group spent a total of almost $700, left sober so didnt even need the users we also paid for, some of us felt ill from the sweet drinks and heartburn from the heavy handed triple sec or cointreau used and just left feeling robbed. Thankfully our friends kept the spirits up, great conversations, the bar in the lobby area allowed us a nice seating area, they were really nice and didnt rush us, we left when ready......so bar lobby, YES. Rise, NO!
