Located in Galaxy’s Edge in Disney's Hollywood Studios, Oga's Cantina is a bustling watering hole that's always packed with travelers from all over the galaxy. The cantina's interior is designed to resemble a smuggler's hideout, complete with dim lighting, themed music, and plenty of Star Wars-themed decor.

Overview

At it’s core, Oga’s Cantina is a Star Wars themed bar (and a great one at that!). Kids and young adults will enjoy the atmosphere. Adults will enjoy the drinks.

Oga’s Cantina Tips

One of my favorite reservations to make on a Walt Disney World vacation is the last available time slot at Oga’s Cantina.

Typically, the crowds have died down or are gone and there are ample opportunities (even just before your reservation) to get unique photos throughout Galaxy’s Edge with very few people in the photo (sometimes none at all!).

Even better, when you leave your reservation, the park is typically closed. Most of the crowds from the Fantasmic nighttime show are gone and there are less lines for the Skyline or buses to return to your resort.

On your way out, there are also ample opportunities for photos throughout the park while the park is virtually empty. Some areas of the park may be roped off and Photopass photographers are not usually available, but you can use your phone or camera to capture some great shots of empty areas of Hollywood Studios.

Are kids allowed in Oga’s Cantina?

Yes! Oga’s Cantina is kid friendly! Bear in mind it’s loud and there is no guarantee your party will receive seating (some parties are given standing tables or bar stools). All ages are permitted and there are non-alcoholic drinks available.

Location and Atmosphere

When you step into Oga's Cantina at Disney World, you will feel like you have been transported into one of the movies. Galaxy’s Edge is immersive as it is, but Oga’s Cantina takes it to another level. Located in the Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu, this cantina is a popular spot for travelers from all over the galaxy.

Inside Oga's Cantina

As you enter the cantina, the atmosphere is lively and bustling, with a mix of aliens and humans enjoying drinks and music together. The decor is inspired by the Star Wars universe, with unique lighting and details that will make you feel like you are in a cantina straight out of the movies. You can spend your entire reservation looking around at all of the small details throughout the bar.

The seating inside Oga's Cantina is very limited, with a lot of standing room only. There are a few booths around the edges of the room, but they are in high demand and may result in a longer wait time. The hosts choose your seating or standing area for you, and you may often be sharing a table with other parties.

Don’t expect to have a seated table for yourself!

Outside Scenery

Oga’s Cantina can be a bit hard to find, as it blends with the Galaxy’s Edge area. It’s located just a short distance from the Millennium Falcon and you can often find crowds standing outside waiting for their reservation.
