And the Disney Springs food news just keeps on coming!
Most recently, we waited for the opening of The Boathouse and its jillion dollar steak. Next up? The anticipated summer opening of Morimoto Asia. And now we’ve just received word that Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar will be opening in The Landing section of Downtown Disney (which will soon be Disney Springs) this fall!

So who, exactly, is Jock Lindsey and why do you care? He’s none other than the pilot for Indiana Jones from the famed movie series, so an aviation theme will (naturally!) play a huge part. According to Disney, Jock’s pet snake Reggie (“Why did it have to be snakes?”) will somehow have a major part in the story of the Hangar Bar as well.

Guests will have the chance to check out walls packed with vintage travel posters and aviation equipment as they drink and dine… and may even spot a few back-and-forth letters of Jock and Indy’s on display around the 150-seat space.

Outdoor seating will also be available on Jock’s steamboat… docked, of course! You wouldn’t want to run into any of the Boathouse’s amphicars on the water, now, would you?
Cocktails and tapas will be the focus of the menu, with drinks like
the Hovito Mojito (Barsol Quebranta Pisco, lime juice, and simple syrup) among the specialty beverages. “Air Pirates Everything Pretzels” served with house made mustard and beer cheese fondue (why don’t they ever include hot fudge?!?) and “Rolling Boulder Meatballs” will be just two out of several small plates available for noshing.
Yep, like I said, the Disney Springs food news just keeps on coming… and just keeps getting better!

Love this!!
It will be so nice to have Disney Springs Up and running. It has needed a facelift for so long. I’m excited to have some new fun places to go to on my vacation.
As an Indy fan its going to be my first stop at Downtown Disney when I’m there over the holidays.
As a member of the WDW Indy Preservation Society (WhIPS), I’m super-excited for this! Now if only they’d bring back The Adventurers Club…
According to a response on the original blog: “Good news, there will be special mugs for certain drinks — stay tuned for more details to emerge as the opening date nears later this fall.”
Hey AJ,
Great post and I can’t wait to see how this turns out!!
For the Jock’s snake references in the movie its..
Indiana: There’s a big snake in the plane, Jock!
Jock: Oh, that’s just my pet snake Reggie.
Indiana: I hate snakes, Jock! I hate ’em!
Jock: Come on! Show a little backbone, will ya!
Isn’t it sad that I knew that….
I digs, now where is my adventures club? The one place from pleasure island that should still be there.
Vintage aviation and drinks! I’m all in.
Hope it’s open in time for my upcoming trip 9/29/15.
Fall?? Any more details than just the Fall? We hope to visit during our late November run.
Hope there will be updates on this restaurant soon – opening date, ADRs? I have a trip planned for end of October. I am spending Halloween night at Downtown Disney. This would be the perfect place.
Great bar…wonderful!! However, please ditch the artificial sweeteners and serve either organic sugar or natural Stevia! Aspartame is increasingly out of place among discerning customers.
