Hold onto your hats! I’m here to present you with a first look at the menu for Hurly-Burly, opening at Disney’s BoardWalk on October 1.
Step inside this historic seaside theater, once the home of the BoardWalk’s most celebrated vaudeville performers. Now, nearly a hundred years later, Hurly-Burly is opening its doors once again with entertainment offerings, vintage drinks and lite bites inspired by an era of world class performances and nautical novelty!
During the afternoons, pop in for lively activities such as trivia and games designed for the whole family. Then, beginning at 9 p.m., experience vibrant evenings of live music for guests ages 21 and older. And of course, this turn-of-the-century theater would not be complete without a nostalgic all-day menu to match, and this one is certain to knock your socks off!
Get ready to indulge in shareable appetizers and small plates inspired by classic boardwalk fare. Snack on the savory Meatballs in Tomato Gravy, a classic dish that the whole family will enjoy. Or opt for some headlining small plates including the Roast Beef Sliders, the Oven-Roasted Shrimp, and the Tomato Pie. And for a sweet grand finale, I present to you the Mini Apple Cider Doughnuts.
As for libations, we’ve got some stars. For our guests over 21, sip on the Mertini, a twist on your classic gin martini and an ode to maritime melodrama gone by at this theater. Enjoy modern takes on classic cocktails such as the Overproof Amaretto Sour, made with Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style bourbon, and the La Taquilla Picante, which translates to “The Hot Ticket,” a spicy margarita garnished with a spiced nutmeg rim. For our guests of all ages, the Overture in Orange is a nostalgic orange and creamy frozen treat. And for coffee lovers like me, sip on the Caramel Corn Cold Brew, topped with caramel sweet cream, and caramel popcorn. And if you’re looking for a libation as you stroll Disney’s BoardWalk, stop by the Hurly-Burly walk-up window for select beverages!
I don’t know about you, but I have certainly worked up an appetite. Without further ado, let’s peek behind the curtain at the bites and sips taking center stage!
