<<A Taste of Disneyland with TinkWest>>

--Uva Bar in Downtown Disney--

After years and years of enjoying the Downtown Disney District at the Disneyland Resort we had never eaten, or even had a drink, at the outdoor Uva Bar. Located right in the middle of the shops and walkways you cannot miss it, but for some reason we had always passed it by – on our way to somewhere else.

This year, on a beautiful June evening, we decided to stop by and see what it was all about. With the sun setting but still bright the yellow umbrellas above the tables were welcome, allowing us to enjoy the outdoors without feeling the effects of any direct heat. Although it is situated in the middle of things we still felt isolated enough so that the passing foot traffic didn’t seem right on top of us.

We were lucky enough, at 6:30pm, to be seated immediately without reservations. The bar area appeared to be fairly full, with people coming and going and empty seats filling as soon as they were vacated. The table area where we sat was about half full and was close to full capacity by the time we left about an hour later.

As soon as we sat down both my husband and I locked eyes on the Chef’s featured Burger & Beer and we were sold. We ordered the Salmon Burger which was ground Atlantic salmon, lemon-caper-dill aioli, heirloom tomato, petite sprouts, and pickled red onion on a sesame bun. It was served with garlic fries and the featured beer, Stone Levitation Ale. Yum, yum, yum to everything! We cleaned our plates and agreed it was one of the best meals we had enjoyed during our weeklong visit.

Although we didn’t do more than browse the rest of the menu I could see that there were a lot of choices I would probably enjoy. There were several sandwich and salad options along with some chicken, beef, and fish entrees. Lots of sides and appetizers (what they call share plates). There is a full bar which includes a decent variety of California drafts and bottled craft beers and wine by the glass or bottle.

Our server was attentive and food service, coming from the kitchens of Catal Restaurant across the way, was fast. Everyone around us seemed to be having a good time. I am definitely going back and hope you give it a try when you visit the Disneyland Resort.

<< Book Nook with Brownie>>

Remembering Roy E. Disney: Memories and Photos of a Storied Life (Disney Editions, 2013, 209 pages) by David A. Bossert is a well-written, enjoyable read primarily about Bossert’s and other’s experiences with Roy E. Disney. Bossert presents an interesting and captivating look at the man behind the name.

Through the stories and memories, I gained a lot of perspective on why Roy E. Disney did the things he did. I knew he was an avid sailor but had no idea he owned a 737! Although he had a lot of money, the author paints a picture of a man who was as comfortable in the Costco food court as he was in the board room.

This is a must-read for all Disney fans.
