Universal Studios Florida · Springfield: Home of the Simpsons
An outdoor bar on the Springfield lagoon frontage with real shade, a water view and the least crowded seating in the back half of the park.

Duff Brewery is an open-air bar built on the lagoon edge behind Springfield, with a covered seating area, the Duff Gardens signage and a view across the water. It serves the three Duff varieties on draft plus cocktails and soft drinks.
It is consistently one of the emptiest places in the park, which is difficult to explain given it has shade, seating and a water view. Guests walk past it toward Fast Food Boulevard and never look left.
The beer is brewed for Universal and is perfectly decent light American lager. The reason to come is a covered seat by the water in the middle of an afternoon.
Shade, seating, a water view and nobody in it. The beer is unremarkable and the seat is worth the price of one anyway.

A light American lager brewed for Universal in three varieties — regular, Lite and Dry — poured on draft at the outdoor brewery and inside Moe's Tavern.
Our take: Perfectly decent lager rather than a novelty, and the flight of all three is the correct order. Drink it at the outdoor brewery, which has shade, seating and almost nobody in it.
Yes. It is brewed for Universal in three varieties — regular, Lite and Dry — and it is a straightforward American lager rather than a novelty. A flight of all three is the sensible order if you are unsure.
It is one of the best in the park. There is covered seating, a lagoon view and a breeze off the water, and it is consistently emptier than anywhere comparable because guests walk past it on the way to Fast Food Boulevard.
