Oga’s Cantina Review with Drinks and Bites (The One at Disney’s Hollywood Studios)

Oga’s Cantina is one of the most unexpected, immersive experiences at Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. While the Star Wars-themed bar is considered more of a dining venue than an attraction, it’s 100% a place that fans will not want to miss. One of the things that guests most look forward to when visiting the popular land is that feeling of immersion. Immersion is where Oga’s Cantina delivers.

As soon as you set foot inside, you’ll realize you’ve left the everyday world behind. You’re now in a new galaxy. One that was previously only seen on-screen. Below, we’ll take a virtual step inside Oga’s Cantina, preview the menu, try a few drinks, and discuss securing reservations.

The theming at Oga’s Cantina is straight out of a Star Wars movie.

Oga Garra, the proprietor of Oga’s Cantina, admits all guests, including bounty hunters, smugglers, and traders. Disney, however, has a few rules about age limits at Oga’s Cantina. All guests are welcome. However, at least one member of your party must be 14 years or older when accompanying minors. The menu contains a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic concoctions.

It’s also imperative to make reservations for Oga’s Cantina before your visit. While the establishment takes walk-ups, they are on a first-come, first-serve basis. When Galaxy’s Edge is crowded, Oga’s Cantina has been known to turn away guests after reaching capacity limits. So do everything you can to secure that reservation in advance. Another thing to mention is that the standby waiting area is in direct sunlight. So, it’s not a place you want to wait for an extended period.

Oga’s Cantina Menu

Below is a menu from Oga’s Cantina. One side of the menu offers concoctions without alcohol, as seen in the image below.

Next, we look at the flip side of the menu, which offers concoctions with alcohol. This menu shows that Oga’s Cantina features some somewhat different items. You can preview the current menu with prices here on Disney’s site. We’ve also added a few images of new bites and beverages in a separate article.

When you first step inside Oga’s Cantina, you will be overwhelmed, especially given its smaller size.

You’ll likely look to the ceiling first as you are escorted to your designated area. Seating is based on availability. Options include standing room only at the inner rim bar, a few bar tables circling the inner rim bar, and a few coves with seating around the outskirts. The coves are the most coveted spot for anyone wanting to sit down. But they are typically reserved for larger parties.

Most everyone stands at bar-height tables or is squeezed in at the bar.

Disney limits each visit to about 45 minutes due to capacity restrictions. While 45 minutes might not seem like an extended amount, it is plenty of time to order a concoction or two and enjoy your time. The time limits also keep the service efficient. In all my visits to Oga’s Cantina, someone has been around to take my order within the first moments of entering.

You’ll likely want to order your drink, enjoy it, and take in your surroundings. It’s not a huge space, but it still offers fans a good deal to explore. The theming is out of this world, as you can imagine. Even the concoctions on tap are in some pretty cool containers.

DJ R-3X at Oga’s Cantina

No worries for those expecting a little entertainment in this type of establishment. DJ R-3X is on duty. This little droid stationed on the outer rim of Oga’s Cantina keeps the tunes spinnin’.

Oga’s Cantina Drinks

Since Oga’s Cantina opened, we’ve visited a couple of times. Each visit has been delightful, and I look forward to returning. Below are a few drinks I’ve tried.

Bespin Fizz

First, we have the Bespin Fizz. This drink was from my initial visit to Oga’s Cantina on Galaxy’s Edge’s opening weekend. It’s my favorite concoction so far. The Bespin Fizz is described on the menu as Bacardi Superior Rum, yuzu puree, pomegranate juice, white cranberry juice, and cloud swirl.

It comes out bubbling like a formula whipped up in a lab. You expect it to bubble over at any moment as smoke rises from the rim of the glass. My first sip of the drink was disappointing. However, the server saw my expression and instructed me to give it just a minute. This became the perfect concoction when the bubbles died down, providing that authentic sweet and sour twang you often get from cranberries and pomegranates.

The Outer Rim

On another visit, I decided to see what the foam fuss was all about and ordered The Outer Rim. This drink is described as Patron Silver Tequila, Cedilla Acai Liqueur, lime juice, pure cane sugar with black salt, and exotic fruit puree.

The Outer Rim drink is a fun play on a margarita. The fruit puree has a banana flavor, throwing the whole margarita force out of balance. Nevertheless, it is an enjoyable drink, and I doubt many people have ever had something like this with such an unusual presentation.

Yub Nub

On one of my last visits to Oga’s Cantina, I tried the Yub Nub, which comes in a souvenir mug. The mug can be purchased separately. The Yub Nub is a robust and fruity drink comprised of Malibu Pineapple Rum, Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum, citrus juices, and passion fruit.

Fuzzy Tauntaun

Here is a look at the fuzzy Tauntaun. This drink has foam that will give your mouth a tingling sensation. Per the menu, it’s described as Cîroc Peach Vodka, Bols Peach Schnapps, Simply® Orange with Tangerine, Pure Cane Sugar, and “Buzz Button Tingling” Foam.

For some reason, I thought I had already tried this drink and realized afterward that I must have confused it with The Outer Rim. Anyway, my friend Tammy tried this drink, and she enjoyed it. She confirmed that the foam did make your mouth feel funny for a few minutes.

T-16 Skyhopper (No Longer Available)

On another visit, I tried the T-16 Skyhopper. I was going back and forth between this and the Jedi Mind Trick. Anyway, I decided to try this one out and was glad I did. The dairy component didn’t disappoint.

The menu describes this item as Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Bols Melon Liqueur, Kiwi, and Half and Half. I’m always surprised when I order something like this and enjoy it. The drink was cold and refreshing, with the perfect hint of fruit flavors. Meanwhile, the dairy adds an unexpected richness and uniquely contrasts the opposing flavors.

Rodian Ration

Oga’s menu has one provision with alcohol called the Rodian Ration. The menu describes this item as Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Dekuyper Pucker Sour Apple, Green Apple, Sprite®, and Boba Balls with a Pop.

I haven’t tried it, but the cast member brought one out and told me to take a photo. So, in case you were curious, this is what it looks like.

Batuu Bits

Oga’s Cantina has a few food options. The Battu Bits are a bar-style snack. These salty, crunchy bites come with a spicy chermoula dip.

If you have to have something to snack on while at Oga’s, you might want to try this. But other than that, I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s a reasonably expensive snack, and unfortunately, there’s nothing special to write home about with this one. Since our last visit, a charcuterie platter called the Happabore Sampler has been added. According to the menu, it includes cured and roasted meats, cheese, and pork cracklings.

Final Thoughts

Oga’s Cantina warrants a visit while you’re touring Galaxy’s Edge. If you consider yourself a fan of anything Star Wars-related, you will likely fall in love with the place.
