The reimagining of Disney Village at Disneyland Paris continues. From new concepts for the LEGO Store, the McDonald’s restaurant and Disney shops, and the reimagining of façades, pathways, and landscaping, Disney Village is in the midst of a significant transformation. The fun doesn’t stop there, however, as there are plenty of exciting new experiences in store! As a result, a fan favorite location in Disney Village will soon be undergoing a refresh.
A new and lively Sports Bar will soon be taking their game to the next level, and will be located in the heart of the retail, dining and entertainment complex. After “hitting home runs” for more than thirty years, the famous bar will soon undergo a renovation aimed at redefining the whole experience delivered within its walls. When the location reopens in 2025, guests will step into a stylish sports lounge that will offer a warm and delightful atmosphere. To top it all off, as part of its longstanding alliance with Disneyland Paris, Coca-Cola will now become the official sponsor of this iconic location. Coca Cola is known as a brand that is deeply committed to supporting athletes and celebrating the passion of sports.
Reimagined in a style that fits into the new upscale and contemporary identity of Disney Village, the all-new Sports Bar & Lounge will feature refined design that gives a subtle nod to different types of sports.
The bar premises will be merged with the New York Style Sandwiches restaurant premises, which houses more than 460 seats, all-new furniture, including high top tables and banquettes, a lounge space and an area that may be reserved for private events. This transformation will also extend to the outdoor area, as the current terrace will be converted into a plant-filled patio facing the bar located in the heart of the venue. When sitting outside, guests will not only be able to enjoy the sunlight passing through the transparent ceiling and watch major sports events that will be broadcast on the giant screen, but the modern window design will also give them the opportunity to soak in the lively atmosphere happening inside the bar.
The walls of the bar will be adorned with a wide variety of artworks and sports memorabilia. The restaurant’s façade will be covered with a mural featuring Goofy in his role as a football player in the timeless short film How to Play Football. Disney fans will surely be wowed by this exclusive work of art dreamed up by legendary Disney animator Eric Goldberg as an homage to the art of animation and to this beloved Disney pal!
In addition to offering an all-new setting, the bar will deliver a reimagined food and beverage experience. Dedicated teams are already hard at work developing a new menu. Some of the foods that will be available include shareable appetizers and food served on plates, and the new options will be sure to delight the taste buds of all foodies! No visit to the bar would be complete without enjoying a refreshing drink to quench your thirst! The drink menu will include a wide range of draft and homemade beers and ciders, along with cocktails and mocktails that will be exclusively available at the Sports Bar & Lounge, as well as a selection of shareable drinks.
To bring this all-new dining experience to life at Disney Village, the current Sports Bar and the New York Style Sandwiches restaurant will close their doors for several months at the end of the year.
