LEGEND Lore: Retreat Among the Vines: Trellis Bar on Legend of the Seas, aboard the world’s largest cruise ship

Guests find Trellis Bar on Deck 8 in the open-air Central Park neighbourhood of Legend of the Seas. The bar nestles among real trees and climbing plants, positioned as a focal point within the landscaped pathways. Seating includes stools at the counter, nearby tables under the retractable canopy and additional spots dispersed through the surrounding greenery, allowing views of the park’s walkways and neighbouring venues.

The space serves as an upscale yet relaxed bar focused on craft cocktails and light bites. The drink selection draws from the ship’s standard premium bar menu with added house variations, while food options provide quick, shareable plates prepared to order. Service runs from late morning through late evening, suiting pre-dinner drinks, afternoon pauses or post-show wind-downs.

Signature and notable cocktails include the Blackberry Lemon Drop, prepared with Ole Smoky Blackberry moonshine, fresh lemon juice and simple syrup. Other selections feature classics such as the Aperol Spritz with soda, the Ultimate Bloody Mary and variations like the Garden Martini. The list covers spirit-forward options, refreshing mixes and zero-proof adaptations, with wines available by the glass or bottle to complement the park setting.

A sample food selection from the dedicated small menu includes Caesar salad with the option to add chicken, beet tartare with signature sauce, mac and cheese poppers, steak bites glazed in sweet Thai chilli sauce, and a dry-aged burger sourced from Chops Grille. Additional items on the seven-dish list feature crab cake fritters and truffled fries. These plates arrive fresh from the kitchen, designed for sharing or a light meal rather than full dining.

Trellis Bar appears in the Central Park neighbourhood on all Icon-class ships. Legend of the Seas, Icon of the Seas and Star of the Seas each position the bar among the live plants on Deck 8 with matching layout, counter service and food offering introduced on this class. While exact specials or minor menu rotations may differ by sailing, the core concept, garden integration and combination of craft drinks with small plates remain consistent across these vessels.

On Legend of the Seas, Trellis Bar requires no reservations. Tables fill quickly in the evening, so guests often order at the counter or claim seats early. Its placement in Central Park makes it a natural stop between strolls through the greenery and visits to adjacent venues such as Lou’s Jazz ’n Blues or Bubbles.
