Curious about the bars on Harmony of the Seas? We’ve got the scoop!
Hey Cruisers! If you’re planning a Harmony of the Seas cruise or you’re already on board, you’re in for a treat when it comes to bars and cocktails. This massive ship has an incredible variety of watering holes, each with its own unique vibe and signature drinks.
I recently spent a full week exploring every single bar on Harmony of the Seas, and wow – there’s something for everyone! From robot bartenders to floating bars that move between decks, this ship knows how to keep you entertained and well-hydrated.
Whether you’re a wine connoisseur, a beer lover, or someone who enjoys creative cocktails, I’m gonna walk you through all 17 bars on this incredible ship. We’ll start at the bottom and work our way up, so you can plan your bar crawl like a pro!
Deck 4: Where the Fun Begins
Jazz on Four
Right across from the Comedy Club (The Attic), you’ll find Jazz on Four – and it’s pretty much exactly what it sounds like. This cool venue offers the perfect atmosphere to unwind with some smooth jazz and expertly crafted drinks.
While I didn’t make it here during our cruise, fellow cruisers rave about their Appletini. If you’re a jazz enthusiast or just want a more intimate drinking experience, this spot should definitely be on your list.
Pro tip: The Attic (Comedy Club) does have a small bar, but service is pretty limited, so Jazz on Four is your better bet for drinks in this area.
Casino Bar
For those who want to keep the drinks flowing while trying their luck, the Casino Bar is perfectly positioned for convenience. You can grab a cocktail without missing any of the gaming action.
Entertainment Venue Bars
Both Studio B and the Royal Theater have small bars that’ll meet your drink needs during shows and events. They’re not destination bars, but they’re handy when you’re catching entertainment.
On Air Bar
Karaoke lovers, this one’s for you! On Air Bar combines drinks with karaoke fun, though I have to be honest – they might not have enough drinks on the menu to get me up on stage! It’s definitely a lively spot where you can enjoy watching others perform while sipping your favorite cocktail.
Deck 5: Latin Vibes and Pub Atmosphere
Boleros
This Latin-themed gem became one of my go-to spots during the cruise. Boleros offers a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere where you can listen to Latin beats while people-watching along the Royal Promenade.
What makes this bar special is their diverse drink selection – it’s the perfect place to try something new. Don’t leave without ordering their Margtini, which is exactly what it sounds like: the perfect marriage of a margarita and a martini. Trust me on this one!
Boot and Bonnet
This traditional English pub on the Royal Promenade serves up exactly what you’d expect – a fantastic selection of beers. But here’s what makes it interesting: they also craft cocktails using various ales. It’s a unique twist that beer lovers will appreciate.
Deck 5-8: The Rising Tide Experience
Rising Tide Bar
Here’s something you absolutely have to experience at least once during your cruise – the Rising Tide Bar! This isn’t just about the drinks (though they’re excellent); it’s about the slow, scenic ride between the Royal Promenade and Central Park.
Order an Espresso Martini and enjoy the leisurely journey. Their bar menu is comprehensive, but the champagne cocktails are truly not to be missed. It’s equal parts transportation and entertainment!
Deck 5: Robotic Innovation
Bionic Bar
You simply cannot cruise on Harmony of the Seas without experiencing the Bionic Bar. Park yourself in front of those iPad-like devices and craft your perfect cocktail, then watch in amazement as robotic arms prepare and serve your drink.
It’s entertaining, futuristic, and surprisingly efficient. My go-to here is the Citrus Fresh RoboCop – it’s perfectly balanced, unsweet, and refreshing. And if you’ve ever wondered how those bottles get replaced, you’ll get to see the behind-the-scenes magic!
Deck 6: Nautical Themes and Mexican Flavors
Schooner Bar
Located right next to the Loyalty Club, this nautically-themed bar has a wonderfully open feel. During the day, it’s an excellent escape from the crowds, offering a more peaceful drinking experience.
I tried their Lavender Martini during our visit, and it was a beautiful blend of floral and sweet notes. If you’re looking for something a bit more sophisticated and quiet, this is your spot.
Sabor
Oh, how I love this Mexican restaurant and cantina combo! Located right across from Johnny Rockets on the Boardwalk, Sabor fits perfectly into the lively atmosphere of this area.
The Jalapeno Cucumber Margarita here is absolutely my personal favorite drink on the entire ship. Pair it with some chips and guacamole, and you’ve got the perfect Boardwalk experience. The location keeps things exciting with constant activity around you.
Deck 8: Wine Country and Garden Serenity
Vintages
Step into Vintages and you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to an upscale winery. The atmosphere here is completely different from the bustling Sabor – it’s quiet, sophisticated, and relaxing.
During our sailing, this venue provided the perfect escape for wine lovers who wanted to enjoy a glass or two away from the crowds. If you appreciate good wine in a peaceful setting, this is your sanctuary.
Trellis Bar
If you love the peaceful serenity of Central Park, you’ll absolutely adore the Trellis Bar. This outdoor venue has such a chill, relaxed vibe that makes it perfect for pre-dinner drinks, especially on formal night.
The garden setting creates a unique cruise experience that feels more like a resort than a ship. It’s particularly magical in the evening when the lighting creates a romantic atmosphere.
Deck 11: Spectacular Views
Dazzles
This two-story venue quickly became one of our absolute favorites! Dazzles offers fantastic views of the Boardwalk below, live music, and some of the best wait staff on the ship.
We found ourselves stopping in regularly to take in the views and enjoy a Grapefruit Kajperoska. The combination of great service, live entertainment, and stunning vistas makes this a must-visit spot.
Deck 12: Whimsical Wonderland
Wonderland Bar
The whimsical, two-story Wonderland venue isn’t just one of the ship’s most unique restaurants – it also has an incredible bar that you absolutely cannot miss.
Even if you don’t dine at Wonderland, stop by to check out the amazing decor and have some fun with that big gold door – it’s perfect for photos! My favorite cocktail was the Wondering Ice, which I enjoyed in the restaurant just downstairs from the bar.
Deck 15: Pool Deck Paradise
Pool Bar and Sand Bar
For all you pool lovers, you’ve got two convenient choices that are virtually identical. The aptly named Pool Bar and Sand Bar serve up exactly what you need for poolside relaxation.
Since the pools always attract big crowds, expect the same at these bars. They’re perfect for grabbing a quick drink between swimming sessions, but be prepared for some wait times during peak hours.
Deck 16: Elevated Views
Mast Bar
Want a good view of the pools while waiting for your drink? Head up to the Mast Bar! It’s often less crowded than the pool bars below, though it can still have lines during busy times.
The elevated position gives you a great perspective of all the pool deck action while keeping you slightly removed from the chaos.
Solarium Bar
This seemed to be the go-to spot for drinks and conversation among cruisers looking to socialize. If you want to meet new people and enjoy good conversation over cocktails, the Solarium Bar is probably your best bet.
The adult-only Solarium creates a more mature atmosphere that’s perfect for meaningful conversations.
Deck 16: Adventure Fuel
Wipeout Bar
For all you thrill-seekers planning to try flow-riding, zip-lining, or the Ultimate Abyss, there’s the appropriately named Wipeout Bar. This is apparently the one-stop shop for liquid courage before attempting those adrenaline-pumping activities.
And hey – no shirt required! Perfect for those post-adventure celebrations or pre-activity nerve-calming sessions.
Planning Your Bar Experience
With 17 different bars to choose from, you might feel a bit overwhelmed. Here’s my advice: don’t try to hit them all in one night! Instead, plan your bar visits around your other activities.
For quiet moments: Try Vintages, Trellis Bar, or Schooner Bar For entertainment: Visit Dazzles, On Air Bar, or Jazz on Four For unique experiences: Don’t miss Rising Tide Bar and Bionic Bar For pool days: Stick with Pool Bar, Sand Bar, or Mast Bar For meeting people: Head to Solarium Bar or Boleros
Remember, each venue has its own personality and specialty drinks. Part of the fun is discovering which spots become your personal favorites!
The variety of bars on Harmony of the Seas means there’s truly something for every mood and occasion. Whether you want a quiet wine, an adventurous cocktail experience, or a lively social atmosphere, this ship has got you covered.
