Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill will permanently close at Disney Springs next month, bringing the celebrity chef’s nearly three-decade presence at the shopping and dining district to an end.
Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill Closing
Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill’s final day of operation will be Sunday, September 13, 2026. The restaurant did not give a reason for the closure or reveal what may replace it.
Located in the Town Center neighborhood of Disney Springs, Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill offers California-inspired cuisine with Mediterranean influences, including signature pizzas, pasta, steak, seafood, and handcrafted cocktails. Its farmhouse-inspired interior was designed to give the traditional bar-and-grill concept a more elegant, contemporary setting.
As of writing, all dining availability for the restaurant is completely booked out through Sunday, September 13. Strangely, all reservation slots appear available from the next day, September 14, and beyond, with availability extending well into October.
Given the recency of this news, it’s possible that dates past September 13 have not yet been blocked out by restaurant management, or that they may be actively canceling reservations past this date. Management may have also reduced or removed availability leading up to September 13, thus showing the calendar with no reservation options up to that Sunday.
The 250-seat restaurant opened in November 2018. WDWNT visited during its first week of operation for an opening-day look and full review.
Wolfgang Puck at Disney Springs
Wolfgang Puck’s history at the complex dates back to September 1997, when Wolfgang Puck Grand Cafe opened as part of the then-new Downtown Disney West Side. The large, two-story venue included a casual café, sushi bar, lounge, upstairs dining room, and an Express counter-service component.
The Grand Cafe closed in August 2017, and its West Side site was subsequently redeveloped as Jaleo by José Andrés. The current Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill was announced as a new Town Center concept before opening the following year.
A separate Wolfgang Puck Express operated for years in the Marketplace neighborhood. It closed permanently in October 2020, and its former space is now occupied by eet by Maneet Chauhan.
With Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill preparing to close, guests have approximately two weeks remaining to visit the restaurant. No replacement has been announced for the Town Center location.
