Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar now open at Disney Springs
Have a hunger for adventure? The doors are now open at Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar, the newest bar and restaurant at Downtown Disney as it transitions to Disney Springs.
With a storyline centered on the pilot from the “Indiana Jones” films, this aviation-themed lounge features unique drinks and small plates. Jock Lindsey flew with Indy across the globe in the “Indiana Jones” films, and guests can experience Jock’s high-flying adventures as well. Filled with salvaged equipment, spare airplane parts, and mementos from Jock’s travels, the 150-seat lounge immerses guests in a world of globetrotting fun.
Here’s a look around:
Along with beer and wine, guests can enjoy clever cocktails, such as a Havito Mojito, Reggie’s Revenge and The Fountain of Youth. The lounge also features small plates with a delicious twist, such as Dr. Elsa’s She-Deviled Eggs, Rolling Boulder Sliders, and “Squid! Why’d It Have to Be Squid” fried calamari flatbread.
Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar is located in The Landing area of Disney Springs, between The Boathouse and Paradiso 37. Here’s a link to the full menu.
Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar looks good—in a corporate design way. Like WDI (Disney Imaginneers had a warehouse full of great ideas and the starched shirts at WDW said, “Hmmm, no, maybe, okay, no, no, definitely not, fine, yes (if you hang it on the wall straight ….”
Having been a member of them original WDI concept & design team for the now-legendary Adbventurerererers Club, here are a few, modest suggestions:
– Through some stage dust on the “Lost & Found” props (and bang up that new Army-Surplus-Sore-Pith-Helmet”)
– RE_HAND some of those books shelves CROOKED (and stuff some old “air mail” envelopes between the book
– NEVER have management standing at the front desk in blue-Oxford-middle-management shirts.
– If cast members can’t have nematodes that are HAND-WRITTEN, with nick names (“Nash), at least let then smear some motor oil on the tag and have old air plane parts or other curios hanging from their tag.
– FRONT FACDE: need some broken windows
– LIKE the menu book “LOG”, but again, they ned smudges on the cover and Duct tape here and there
– Baseball caps (like Jock wore in opening sequence of “Raiders of the Lost Ark” for ALL cast members …even if they just stuff them in their back pocket.
– Opening ceremonies: don’t cut butcher ppaper with Jock’s logo on it … have a strong-together collection of old airline seat belts.
And, finally … for now,
A JOINT LIKE “JOCK’S” SHOULD HAVE UN0MATCHING FURNITURE. Grab left over tables and chairs from the “Warehouse of Restaurant Furniture” that WDW certainly has TONE of, out back.
And, having only been their view the Net, and videos, it looks fun.
Onward,
