All right, friends… we’re going in. Welcome to THE EDISON!

The Edison

The Edison

The new, highly anticipated spot is currently in soft openings in Disney Springs. (If you’re hoping to visit on or after January 15th, you can make reservations via OpenTable now.) And while the location is meant to provide some long-awaited adult nightlife to Disney’s shopping, dining, and entertainment district, it will be open throughout the day and family-friendly until 10:00 pm.

… it turns into a 21-and-over space only (with a $10 cover charge on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights kicking in at that time) with specific entertainment just for grown ups.

But no matter when you visit, here’s what you’ll find…

The Industrial Gothic theme (a/k/a Steampunk) is expressed in ever corner of the establishment. The setting is rich and lavish, with true antique pieces making up much of the decor (as opposed to the designers “aging” new items).

There is plenty of seating to go around, from cozy couches to open tables.

And that’s a good thing, because the whole “highly anticipated” thing is already bringing in BIG crowds!

Did I mention there are bars? There are. Three, to be exact. For instance, there’s the Boiler Bar…

Below you’ll see The Edison’s unique craft cocktails known as Edison Signatures. The steampunk theme is further played out in the names of drinks like Gears & Cogs, The Flying Apparatus, and the Boiler Mule.

Here is a look at the Classic Cocktails, still with themed names.

Don’t forget to check out the Mocktails, too! We’ll be sure to take a look at the entire (extensive!) drinks menu in our full review coming soon. But for now, let’s see the food you can order to soak up some of those beverages.

You can click directly on the image below to enlarge it and fully check out the options, which include Deviled Eggs, the Dancin’ Corn Dog, and Hawkers’ Box of Balls (lamb meatballs) among the appetizers.

And let’s waste no time, because I know you noticed it on the menu: the DB “CLOTHESLINE CANDIED BACON.”

You gotta love this wonderfully unapologetic celebration of BACON!

Served with sour pickles and mostarda (like a jam with candied fruit and a mustard base), it’s also straight up delicious. I couldn’t get over it. So, here’s one more look!

Entrees offer even more American eats with a twist including comfort foods like Old Fashioned Meatloaf and Gravy, Crispy Fried Chicken, and an Organic Tomato Soup & Gooey Grilled Cheese (to the tune of $20. Still, I’m intrigued.)

Oh, and remember how I said this place was family-friendly for lunch and dinner? Well, here’s a look at the menu just for the Kiddos… otherwise known as Junior Scientists!
