Once we were back at POR we took the boat service to DTD, I mean Disney Springs, which is a really nice alternative to the bus. It was a beautiful day for a ride on the water. Our boat actually stalled out and then restarted on our way to POFQ, so once we arrived we had to switch to a different boat before heading the Springs. This was all done pretty seamlessly I must say. Once we were there we made our way to a location that has been open for a short time and is brand new to us. We were so insanely excited to check out Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar!
We got there shortly after opening time at 11:30am and the place was empty. We had our pick of where to sit. I loved this cool seating area.
I tried to get Rob to sit there, but he prefers to sit at the bar in places like this, so I let him win this one.
After checking out the Pilot's Log Book, aka the menu, we were ready to order some drinks!
I liked that with this menu they gave you a breakdown of all the prices of the drinks with and without the souvenir glass for the ones that had that option. They also had some light fare, but we weren't hungry.
I started with Reggie's Revenge. Florida Cane 'Orlando Orange' Vodka, Midori Melon Liqueur, White Cranberry Juice, and fresh Lime Juice.
This is what they pour it from which would bubble up and fizz frequently, which was pretty cool.
This was delicious! It was my favorite drink here. Rob had a sip and liked it a lot too. You got to keep the snake, but I also bought the glass it came with. I think the glass and the drink was around $18.
Rob's first drink was the Anything Goes. Byejoe dragon fire spirit, fresh Lime Juice, Passion Fruit, and Pineapple Juice.
I wish the glass looked like the one in the picture. I will absolutely buy that if they ever have it in the future.
You can see the remnants of us opening the 9 zillion packs of deeply discounted
Lego Simpsons characters we bought right before this, which we collect from the Lego Store.
He really liked this drink a lot. I had a sip and I wasn't a fan, but as long as he liked it, that's all that matters.
Cheers!
Next I had the drink I was super pumped about. The Cool Headed Monkey! Starr African Rum, Van Der Hum Tangerine Liqueur, fresh Lime Juice, Watermelon, and Pineapple Juice
So cool! Temple of Doom was one of my favorite movies ever as a kid. And an adult.
This drink was good, but the watermelon kind of overwhelmed the other flavors. I did buy this glass as well. The glass with the drink was a steep $22.50 if I recall correctly, but I will say that the glass is super quality. It is really heavy even though it doesn't look like it in the picture. I thought for sure it was going to be plastic. I drink out of it almost every day at home, so it's a win.
Rob's second drink was the Wrong Island. Siesta Key Silver Rum, Tito's Handmade Vodka, Tamiami Gin, Tippler's Orange Liqueur, and Sweet-and-Sour with a splash of Coca-Cola. I cute little play on the Long Island Iced Tea.
He loved, loved, loved this drink. He raved about it the whole trip. I thought it was disgusting.
He also had a Japanese beer, a Kirin Ichiban Lager.
He didn't care for the beer and said it tasted cheap like malt liquor.
Sadly they do not accept AP discount or TiW here, which was kind of a bummer. Oh, and also no artifacts taken as payment. They had to make a rule about that.
We had a great time here. The drinks were delicious, the prices without the souvenir glasses really weren't that bad, most drinks were under $10, and the service was great. Definitely a fun place to hang out. I think the fact that it is related to the Indiana Jones universe is totally lost on people because we never saw it get busy here (at a bar.. on spring break) during our trip and we also saw quite a few people walk in thinking it was a restaurant, look through the menu and quickly leave. Great concept, but unless you are a diehard Disney fan who reads the blogs and things like that, the average vacationer walks right on by this place. I wish I had walked around more and taken in some of the cool stuff set up all throughout the bar. There was so much to look at. We will definitely make this place a must-do every trip.
