Disney World’s new Hurly-Burly lounge is scheduled to open October 1 at Disney’s BoardWalk, taking over the former Jellyrolls Dueling Piano Bar location.
Disney Food Blog attended a Disney-hosted media preview of the venue, which is designed around what Disney describes as the golden era of seaside leisure. The space includes velvet-backed booths, tables and lounge seating, period-style posters and other theatrical details. A walk-up window will serve select cocktails, with outdoor seating nearby.
Hurly-Burly will offer family entertainment daily until 9 p.m. After 9 p.m., the lounge will become a 21-and-up venue with live music and specialty drinks. At the preview, live performers included singers delivering a jazz-influenced rendition of Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition.”
The menu has a nostalgic, shareable-food focus. Reported offerings include antipasto with sliced meats, burrata, Pecorino Romano and marinated vegetables; roast beef sliders with horseradish-mustard sour cream and caramelized onion jam; meatballs in tomato gravy; oven-roasted shrimp with pepper-onion relish; and mini apple cider doughnuts with miso-caramel sauce.

Hurly-Burly’s opening restores a late-night entertainment option at the BoardWalk following Jellyrolls’ permanent closure in 2025. Visitors planning Disney World tickets can find the new lounge along the waterfront dining and entertainment district near EPCOT-area resort hotels.
