Disney’s BoardWalk Resort is getting a new evening hangout, and its details are now official. Hurly-Burly, a seaside theater lounge, will open its doors on October 1, 2026, bringing a menu of shareable plates, vintage-style cocktails, and a handful of non-alcoholic sips. Here is what you need to know before you stop by.
What Hurly-Burly Is and Where to Find It
Hurly-Burly takes over the space once occupied by Jellyrolls, the dueling piano bar that closed earlier in 2026 for this renovation. The lounge sits inside the resort’s historic seaside theater building along the BoardWalk promenade. The name and theming lean into a vintage entertainment feel, tying the food and drinks to a nostalgic stage-and-showtime vibe.
Opening Date and How to Visit
Mark your calendar for October 1, 2026. Hurly-Burly operates as a walk-up venue, so you will not need a reservation to grab a table or a drink. Keep in mind that all offerings are subject to change and availability, which is standard for a new location settling into its routine.
Two Personalities: Day and Night
The lounge shifts its mood as the day goes on. During daytime hours, Hurly-Burly runs family-friendly trivia and games, making it welcoming for guests of all ages. Once 9:00 PM rolls around, the space transitions to live music for guests 21 and older. If you are traveling with kids, plan your visit for earlier in the day.
Small Bites Menu
The food menu focuses on classic boardwalk fare meant for sharing. The Meatballs in Tomato Gravy mix veal, pork, and beef with stracciatella cheese, Pecorino Romano, and toasted focaccia, with a plant-based version available on request. The Tomato Pie offers the same accommodation, built on focaccia with tomato sauce, oregano, and Pecorino Romano.
Here is the full lineup:

Overture in Orange pairs Minute Maid orange juice with sweet cream for a frozen treat. Caramel Corn Cold Brew layers Joffrey’s cold brew with caramel sweet cream and caramel popcorn. Cherry Marquee blends Minute Maid lemonade with Amarena cherries and a gourmet cherry garnish.

Final Thoughts
Hurly-Burly gives Disney’s BoardWalk a fresh spot that works for families by day and adults by night. With a walk-up format, a wide drink list, and a menu of shareable bites, it should fit easily into a resort stroll or an evening out. Keep the October 1 opening date in mind if you want to be among the first to try it.
