Concept Art For Disney's New INDIANA JONES-Themed Restaurant
If you're an Indiana Jones fan who lives near Orlando, Florida, then you're in luck. Disney has announced a new Indy-themed restaurant coming to Walt Disney World, and the company has released two new pieces of concept art for it. Despite my initial guesses, it won't be called Club Obi Wan (which is unfortunate, considering Disney owns all of Lucasfilm's properties). A press release (courtesy of Screencrush) indicates that the restaurant will be called "Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar," named after the snake-owning pilot in the beginning of Raiders who helps Indy escape from Belloq and the Hovitos. ("Come on, show a little backbone, will ya?")
As a diehard Indiana Jones fan who lives in Los Angeles, I'm bummed that I won't be able to eat at Jock's any time soon. But I'll take solace in the fact that Disneyland has the Indiana Jones Adventure attraction that Walt Disney World doesn't have, so I'll have to make do with that.
Here's the relevant info, and check out the concept art at the top and bottom of this post:
With a prime location along Lake Buena Vista and seating for 150, the venue will feature unique cocktails – such as the ‘Hovito Mojito’ with Barsol Quebranta Pisco, fresh lime juice and simple syrup – and small plates such as ‘Air Pirates Everything Pretzels’ with house-made mustard and beer cheese fondue.
The design team has gone to great lengths to ensure that every element – from the propeller-based ceiling fans and diving bell ‘booth’ to the ‘Rolling Boulder Meatballs’ on the menu – fits within the storyline.
And just what is that story? Ardent fans of the ‘Indiana Jones’ films may recognize Jock Lindsey as Indy’s frequent pilot; he’s also the owner of a pet snake named Reggie – an important detail, trust me on this! In the main room, guests will discover an expansive bar, aviation decor filling the room, vintage travel posters covering the walls and correspondence between Jock, Indy and their fellow adventurers on display. Guests can eat, drink and be merry outside as well, in Jocks’ old steamboat, now in permanent dry dock and aptly named ‘Reggie;’ and in nearby seating on the adjacent deck.
