Rix Sports Bar & Grill delivers a straightforward sports-bar experience right on Disney property. The space features a large wooden bar, sturdy wooden tables, and multiple TVs so most seats have a good view of the action.

Service is efficient and plates tend to arrive quickly, making it a convenient stop for families or groups who want a relaxed meal and a game on screen.
Location and Hours:
Rix is located near the conference center at Coronado Springs Resort, directly across from El Mercado de Coronado.

The atmosphere at Rix feels similar to neighborhood sports bars like Applebee’s or Chili’s—casual, modern, and focused on comfort rather than elaborate theming. If you’re expecting heavy Disney-style immersion, Rix is more functional than fanciful. It’s an ideal spot to catch a game, enjoy familiar favorites, and relax during your Disney vacation.
