There’s a new restaurant-bar in town at Walt Disney World’s Downtown Disney and it’s only for the most adventurous of spirits – or anyone with a wallet. The eatery is dubbed “Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar” named after Indiana Jones’ pilot Jock Lindsey (Fred Sorenson)and it has it’s own backstory – a la Disney Imagineering:
“How did Indiana Jones’ barnstorming pilot Jock Lindsey end up in Disney Springs? Fans of Raiders of the Lost Ark can’t forget Indy’s easygoing pilot Jock Lindsey—owner of a pet snake named Reggie—but how did Jock arrive here? The two globetrotters stumbled on Disney Springs in 1938 while chasing down a mythology-based tip in central Florida. Attracted to the town’s natural springs and lush terrain, Jock bought some waterfront property and eventually settled down, piloting seaplane tours across the fast-growing Sunshine State. Jock eventually built an airplane hangar, air tower and runway, and invited fellow members of The Society of Explorers and Adventurers to pay him a visit. His home base soon became a popular stopover and watering hole for world travelers and locals alike. Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar was born! Today, thrill-seeking families cross borders and continents to soak up the rugged charm of this artifact-strewn hangar bar, with its spare airplane parts, salvaged equipment and dusty mementos of glory days gone by.”
This restaurant-bar, set to open September 22, is ripe with throwbacks to the film it was modeled after, with a full menu dedicated to random parts of the film. The menu features meatball sliders called ‘Rolling Boulders Sliders’, deviled eggs lovingly named ‘Dr. Elsa’s She-deviled Egg,’ fried calamari flatbread humorously dubbed “Squid! Why’d it have to be Squid?”
There are tons of alcoholic drinks too, but you can check them out all right here on the official Disney World website.
