What it is

BaseLine is a narrow storefront bar built to look like a district printing shop that became a taproom. The list is almost entirely California beer, cider and wine, with a handful of cocktails, and it is the only place at Hollywood Studios where the drinks selection was clearly assembled by somebody who cared.

The food is limited by design: pretzels with beer cheese, a charcuterie board, a couple of snacks. It is not a meal and it does not want to be. What it has is a cool indoor room, a shaded courtyard with proper tables, and a genuinely good beer list at the entrance to Galaxy's Edge.

Grand Avenue is quieter than it used to be. A section of the land is behind construction walls following the 2025 closure of the Muppets area, which has made this end of the park feel more like a corridor. BaseLine itself is unaffected and remains open.

Our verdict

The best drinks in the park by a distance and the least pretentious place to have one. Skip Oga's if what you actually want is a good beer in a cool room.

What to order

The dishes this kitchen is actually known for. Menus change seasonally, so treat this as what to look for rather than a guaranteed list.

  • Pretzel with beer cheese and mustard
  • Charcuterie board
  • Wine flight

Tips for BaseLine Tap House

  • The indoor room is tiny and the courtyard has more seating than people realize. Order at the bar and then look for a table outside rather than giving up on the room.
  • Ask for a flight rather than a pint. It is the only place in the park where a flight is worth the money and the staff will build one to your preferences.
  • Mobile order works here and is the fastest way through at peak, which is roughly 4pm to 7pm.
  • It is the last real drink before Galaxy's Edge, where Oga's Cantina charges considerably more for less beer.
  • Repeat visitors: the draft list genuinely rotates rather than being static, so the board is worth reading even if you have been a dozen times.

Pretzel with Beer Cheese

BaseLine Tap House

$12

A warm soft pretzel served with a beer cheese dip and a grain mustard at the California-focused beer bar on Grand Avenue.

Our take: The pretzel the Mickey-shaped one wishes it were: warm, fresh, with a dip that is genuinely made rather than pumped. Order it with a flight and skip the cart version entirely.

California Beer Flight

BaseLine Tap House

$14

Four small pours from the rotating California draft list, built by the bartender to your preferences rather than fixed as a set lineup.

Our take: The only flight at Hollywood Studios worth the money and the best drink value in the park. Tell them what you like and let them choose.

BaseLine Tap House: common questions

Do you need a reservation for BaseLine Tap House?

No. It is a walk-up bar with no reservations. It gets busy from late afternoon into the evening, but the courtyard seating means you rarely wait long for somewhere to stand or sit.

Is there food at BaseLine Tap House?

Only snacks: a pretzel with beer cheese, a charcuterie board and a couple of small items. It is a bar, not a restaurant, and you should eat elsewhere and drink here.

Is BaseLine better than Oga's Cantina?

For drinking, yes. The list is better, the prices are lower, there is no time limit, and you can hear yourself. Oga's is worth doing once for the room; BaseLine is where you would actually spend an hour.

Is it air conditioned?

The indoor room is, though it is small. The courtyard is shaded and has fans but is open to the air, so on a hot afternoon get inside if you can.
