Still the same drink. We tried it for research.
Garden House still offers the same selection of famous cocktails, sake, and beers, and they added a few new ones, too. We created a quick graphic to illustrate some of the price changes we noted.

The newly renovated space allows for two registers to be open on the side of the building. There are drink examples above the registers to allow guests to make their drink decisions long before it’s time for them to order. The old building design didn’t allow folks to see much in line which made the ordering process slower and the lines longer.

Garden House used to have Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Lemonade, and Iced Green Tea available but those items have been removed from the menu. Bottle Water is still available for $4.25.
Once you’ve placed your order, you’ll enter the bar area to collect your drink. While very visually pleasing, we have to mention that the walk-through is narrow and we witnessed a guest using an ECV having a very difficult time getting through the space.

There is no sign that says guests need to be able to walk through the bar area, but we observed a real life example of an ECV having lots of trouble, so check before you try to use your wheelchair or ECV to grab your Violet Sake.
What do you think? Will the price increases or new bar impact your drinking plans in this pavilion?
