It has been under construction since September 2014, and now
Disney has officially announced that 'Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar' will be
opening in the fall of 2015 at The Landing in Disney Springs.
The Disney owned and operated bar will be located just
between Paradiso 37 and The BOATHOUSE in what was formerly the Pleasure Island
area of Downtown Disney.
The aviation themed bar and lounge will have seating for
150, including both indoor and outdoor space.
The drink menu will feature unique cocktails – such as the
“Hovito Mojito” with Barsol Quebranta Pisco, fresh lime juice and simple syrup.
Although not strictly a restaurant, there will be small plates on offer,
including “Air Pirates Everything Pretzels” with house-made mustard and beer
cheese fondue, and “Rolling Boulder Meatballs.”
Wondering who Jock Lindsey is? Fans of the Indiana Jones
movies will recognize him as Indy's pilot. Jock is also the owner of a pet
snake named Reggie, which just happens to be the name of the steamboat that is
in dry dock at the side of the bar - which also serves as part of the outdoor
seating area.
Disney has just announced thirteen new tenants for the
upcoming Disney Springs redevelopment of Downtown Disney, bringing more
shopping and dining experiences to the Walt Disney World property.
Eight of the announced tenants are retail, with five dining
locations rounding out what has been the biggest single announcement of new
tenants since the Disney Springs project was unveiled.
When complete in 2016, Disney Springs will double the number
of dining and retail locations of Downtown Disney, and expanding the the
facilities to more than 1million sq ft.
