Well, if you weren’t taken enough with what we can see so far of Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar (slated to open in Downtown Disney/Disney Springs this fall), perhaps the latest information from Disney about the upcoming location will whet your appetite…

It’s story time, friends! Here’s a little background on the place… According to Disney, when Jock Lindsey (the frequent pilot of Indiana Jones) flew Indy over Florida while searching for the Fountain of Youth in 1938, he noticed a charming town below and decided to build a home right there on the waterfront. He often entertained his friends from the Society of Explorers and Adventurers in his hangar where they enjoyed drinks and good times.

There seems to be a no-holds-barred approach to the styles of cuisine, as the tapas and beverages will be “inspired by Jock’s globe-trotting to all continents,” which could result in fun twists on anything and everything! In the meantime, Disney has provided a glimpse at some of the eats on the way.
Not only will the decor be inspired by the location’s aviation theme, but it appears some of the plating will, too. Check out the airplane “dish” holding the Pretzels with house-made mustard and beer-cheese fondue…

Dr. Elsa’s She-Deviled Eggs will be topped with lumps of crab and brined in beet juice, while the “Good” Dates will be stuffed with goat cheese and topped with Marcona almonds.

Heavier bites will include Rolling Boulder Sliders: three spice meatball sliders drizzled with yogurt sauce.

But the winner for Best Name (so far) has got to go to the “Squid! Why’d It Have to Be Squid” calamari flatbread with spicy harissa.

Other items will include Brody Brats, Lao Che’s Revenge (spicy Asian wings), Tanis Tacos, and Snack of Ra (African-inspired salads and dips served with bread and naan crisps).
Specialty cocktails will include drinks like The Aviator’s Flight, The Scottish Professor, The Bitter Barkeep (with Peruvian Pisco), a Hovito Mojito, Anything Goes (a spicy cocktail created with an Asian spirit), The Fountain of Youth, featuring Florida vodkas, and a Cool-headed Monkey.
Me? I’ll be ordering a Reggie’s Revenge, with hopes of sipping it while enjoying the waterfront views from Jock’s old dry-docked steamboat…

Looks like plenty of good food and great times are coming to Disney Springs!

Love this trend at WDW for restaurants that have a special flair to them. for a while i thought the parks and such were getting way into quick and cheap offerings with no excitement. cant wait to see what else they have planned for the area!!!
calamari flatbread?
Well maybe when we get there and actually see it…..
maybe not…
I love calamari and I can’t wait to try that flat bread next time I’m down at Disney.
I am LOVING these menu items! Each Indy reference is better than the next. A coworker asked what I keep giggling about . I’m so getting the “Good Dates” – poor little monkey 🙁 Fingers crossed its open in Oct!
I LOVE Indy and those eggs and dates look amazing! I’m so bummed it won’t be open yet for my visit in a few weeks, but gives me something to look forward to for a 2016 visit.
Yum! The deviled eggs pickled in beet juice look delicious, and beautiful, too. Almost everything else is also on my must-try list. Except… squid flatbread? Why DID it have to be squid? I guess I’m the only one who’s not a calamari fan! 🙂
Am I the only one who thinks they should have named the Cool Headed Monkey what it’s actually called in Temple of Doom? Chilled Monkey Brains!!! Also, I’m really liking that there are ZERO references to the Crystal Skull movie (that I- along with probably everyone else- like to pretend doesn’t exist).
Love everything so far. Looking forward to eating there. Especially those deviled eggs.
This looks terrific, and I can’t wait to visit in December.
My wish is that they’d take one idea from Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto by offering a specialty drink in a souvenir mug, namely the golden fertility idol that Indy so famously finds at the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Serve a drink in that, and then a cast member dressed as Belloq (or at least acting like Belloq) dramatically clears it from the table when the guest who bought the souvenir mug is finished with it: “Dr. Jones. Again, we see there is nothing you can possess which I cannot take away.”
A new, clean mug is then returned as the guests receive their bill by a cast member dressed as (or acting like) Indy.
Oh, I would love for this to happen!
Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar – I decided to try the Sliders for lunch. They were some of the worst burgers I ever had; completely dried out, no flavor, just hot spice. I don’t know how the drinks are as I only had ice tea. The waitperson did offer to get me something else and said she would convey my response to the chef. Unless I get some feedback contrary to my experience, I doubt if I’d eat there again.
