About Carthay Circle Lounge

The Carthay Circle Lounge occupies the ground level of one of the most architecturally striking buildings at any Disney resort. Nestled beneath the Carthay Circle Restaurant — itself a meticulously recreated tribute to the historic 1926 Carthay Circle Theatre in Los Angeles — the lounge invites Guests to slow down, take in the scene on Buena Vista Street, and unwind with a well-crafted drink in hand.

The setting channels the spirit of 1920s and 1930s Hollywood with understated elegance. Expanded outdoor seating puts you right along Buena Vista Street, offering a front-row view of one of the most beloved thoroughfares at the Disneyland Resort. Whether the street is alive with daytime crowds or glowing with warm evening light, the atmosphere is unmistakably cinematic.

Unlike the upstairs restaurant, the lounge has a more relaxed, drop-in feel. It accepts reservations, but the atmosphere is well suited to a spontaneous stop for a glass of California wine or a crafted cocktail before dinner. The food menu — a collection of light Mediterranean-California bites — is intentionally approachable, making it a great option for Guests who want something between a snack and a full meal.

For anyone visiting the Disneyland Resort with an appreciation for atmosphere, thoughtful food, and a well-mixed drink, Carthay Circle Lounge is one of the most enjoyable hidden gems on the property.
