We spent $26 on two drinks at Rose & Crown Pub.Jennifer Greene

Rose & Crown Pub is located in the UK Pavilion of Epcot's World Showcase.

If you're looking for a traditional British-inspired pub at Disney World, Rose & Crown in Epcot's World Showcase is as close as you'll get to the UK.

The small pub located between the Yorkshire County Fish Shop and Rose & Crown Dining Room is a great spot for a beer or cocktail.

The place was super crowded when we visited.

The inside really feels like a traditional pub, but there were too many people to linger.      Jennifer Greene

We visited during one of Epcot's popular festivals, and the bar was packed with people.

I asked the bartender if that was a normal crowd or if it was because of the festival. He said they're pretty consistently busy, but the crowd gets a little rowdier during the festival.

The small bar only sells drinks.

Unlike other Disney lounges, you can't order food at Rose & Crown Pub.      Jennifer Greene

There were two bartenders working, and both were incredibly friendly and helpful.

Even with the elbow-to-elbow crowd, I was able to step up to the bar and have my drinks in hand within five minutes.

The menu is simple — beer, wine, whiskey, and five specialty cocktails.

That's it, just how it should be in a British pub. I was actually surprised to see cocktails on the menu at all.

It's a great spot for beer fans.

Rose & Crown Pub has Guinness and Smithwick's on tap.      Jennifer Greene

You can find many of the traditional UK beers on tap, including Guinness, Smithwick's, Harp, and Boddingtons.

The bar serves beer flights and pub blends as well.

My friend ordered the Half and Half ($10.50), a mix of Harp lager and Guinness stout, as she loves dark beers. She said the pour was perfect, which matters in a pub.

I'm not a beer drinker and was glad to see a cocktail menu.

I tried the Welsh Dragon cocktail at Rose & Crown Pub.      Jennifer Greene

I asked our bartender to serve me his favorite cocktail.

He set down the most vibrant green drink called the Welsh Dragon ($12.50), which was made with peach schnapps, melon liquor, crème de menthe, orange juice, and pineapple juice.

I don't know who told him fruity cocktails were my beverage of choice, but this was perfect.

There are plenty of quick places to grab food nearby.

Yorkshire County Fish Shop is right next door to the pub.      Jennifer Greene

The drinks are strong here — they're not batch-made cocktails like you find at a lot of the World Showcase kiosks.

If you're looking for a bite to eat to balance out the alcohol, just next to the pub are the best fish and chips in Disney World at Yorkshire County Fish Shop.

There are also plenty of other quick-service booths and restaurants around the World Showcase if English fare isn't your thing.

Despite the crowds, I'll definitely be back.

We had to take our drinks to go, but they were great.      Jennifer Greene

I quickly paid my tab, and since there was no seating inside the pub, we enjoyed our drinks as we strolled around the UK Pavilion shops.

I will absolutely be back to the Rose & Crown — hopefully I'm able to enjoy the inside environment a little more next time.
