Hey there, fellow adventurers! Today, I'm here to unveil a hidden gem nestled within the bustling streets of Disney Springs – City Works Eatery & Pour House. If you're a beer enthusiast, foodie, or just someone seeking a memorable dining experience, this is the spot you've been searching for.
Tucked away in the heart of Disney Springs, City Works exudes an inviting atmosphere that beckons you to step inside and discover its treasures. However, despite its undeniable charm and impressive offerings, it remains a well-kept secret among locals and visitors alike.
But perhaps you're feeling a bit hesitant about dining at City Works. After all, with such a fantastic reputation, shouldn't it be booked up months in advance? Surprisingly, this hidden gem often flies under the radar, making it a refreshing change from the overcrowded dining spots you may encounter elsewhere in Disney Springs. So, fear not – whether you're planning a spontaneous visit or prefer to make reservations in advance, City Works welcomes you with open arms.
Beer
Now, let's talk beer. With over 90 beers on tap, including local brews and rare finds from around the world, City Works is a true haven for beer aficionados. From crisp lagers to hoppy IPAs and rich stouts, there's a brew to tantalize every palate. And if you're feeling adventurous, why not indulge in a flight and sample a variety of flavors?
Food
Now, let's dive into the food menu, which is equally impressive. Whether you're craving classic comfort food or upscale eats, City Works delivers with flair. Start your meal with mouthwatering appetizers like the crispy buffalo cauliflower or loaded tater tots, then dive into hearty mains like the BBQ
brisket burger or beer-battered fish and chips.
I ordered the 'Grilled Cheese Sandwich', but do not let that title fool you. Prepare your taste buds for a flavor explosion. This isn't your ordinary grilled cheese – it's a gourmet delight packed with smoked chopped brisket, BBQ bacon onion relish, and a decadent beer cheese sauce that'll leave you craving more. Nestled between two slices of perfectly grilled challah bread are layers of American cheese and smoked provolone, adding a creamy richness to every bite. Whether you're a grilled cheese aficionado or simply seeking comfort food with a twist, this sandwich is a must-try culinary adventure.
My husband ordered the Spicy Shrimp Taco's (listen, he would order tacos at an Italian restaurant if he could). These tantalizing tacos feature crispy beer-battered shrimp nestled in warm flour tortillas, perfectly complemented by a 
zesty Asian slaw and pickled Fresno chiles for a spicy kick. Drizzled with a mouthwatering chili aioli and sesame ginger vinaigrette, these tacos are elevated to new heights of deliciousness. Each bite is adorned with a sprinkle of black sesame seeds and topped with fresh micro cilantro, adding layers of texture and aroma. Served alongside crispy tortilla chips and tangy tomatillo salsa, these Spicy Shrimp Tacos are a culinary delight that will leave you craving more. Get ready to experience a symphony of flavors in every bite.
Atmosphere
And let's not forget about the game day vibes! With dozens of TVs lining the walls, City Works is the ultimate spot to catch your favorite sports game while sipping on a cold brew and indulging in delicious bites. Whether you're cheering on your team or simply soaking in the lively atmosphere, you're guaranteed a memorable experience.
Savor the Magic
But what truly sets City Works apart is its commitment to providing an unforgettable dining experience for guests of all ages. The friendly staff goes above and beyond to ensure that every visit is nothing short of magical, whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor.
So, whether you're a beer enthusiast, foodie, or simply seeking a hidden gem to uncover in Disney Springs, City Works is a must-visit destination. With its impressive beer selection, mouthwatering menu, and inviting atmosphere, it's the perfect spot to unwind, relax, and savor the magic of Disney Springs. Cheers to good times and great beer at City Works!
