When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. But during the holidays, there are even more options with all of the exclusive offerings available during the season. Especially over in Disney Springs!

Jock Lindsey’s Holiday Hangar Bar

Well, we recently stopped by Jock Lindsey’s Holiday Hangar Bar, which is the yearly Christmas overlay that happens at Jock Lindsey’s in Disney Springs to check out the theming and exclusive food, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worth a stop on your holiday trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth? It’s time to find out!

Atmosphere

Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar is an Indiana Jones lounge in Disney Springs themed to the pilot from the franchise Jock Lindsey. The space is full of Indiana Jones hidden details and references, and is designed to be a airplane hanger Jock Lindsey and his pet snake Reggie used to live in many years ago.

This spot is full of lore, with Disney explaining, “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.”

So, as you can see, the theming of this spot is always incredible, but when it turns into Jock Lindsey’s Holiday Hangar Bar, it gets taken to the next level! But enough about the restaurant — what’s on the menu here?!

Menu

Now, the menu completely transforms for the holiday season with a bunch of exclusive and themed options.

The Menu!

Looking at the first half of the menu, you can see the “Seasonal Libations,” including a Holiday Cranberry Negroni, Cranberry Apple Compass Mule, and more!

Then the bottom has a list of “Seasonal Appetizers,” including Boughs of Holly Deviled Eggs, Holiday Freight Rolls, and several other options to try.

And now, onto the main event — the food!

Drinks

To drink, we picked up the Frosted Passage Martini for $19. This is made with Tito’s Vodka, Mozart White Chocolate Liqueur, Bols Cremé de Cacao White Liqueur, and cream, garnished with a piece of white chocolate.

It has a creamy, slightly milky consistency with a delicate white chocolate flavor from the liqueur. Even with vodka and multiple liqueurs, this was light and not as strong as expected. The cream helps balance out the alcohol strength to create a smooth, mellow drink with chocolate flavors at center stage. The whipped cream adds extra smoothness but seems mostly for decoration. The surface does get a bit foamy, which gives an interesting contrast of textures in each sip. This could be a great option for someone who likes lighter, creamy cocktails that aren’t super strong!

We also tried the Hot Chocolate Around the Globe Flight for $29. The first is made with Dark Hot Chocolate, Don Julio Reposado Tequila, Ancho Reyes Chili Liqueur, and Cinnamon Syrup. The second is made with White Hot Chocolate, Frangelico Liqueur, and Chambord Liqueur. Finally, the last is made with Dark Hot Chocolate, Malibu Coconut Rum, and Bailey’s Original Irish Cream Liqueur.

The left drink was very light for having quite a bit of alcohol in it! The hot chocolate is dark chocolate, making it less sweet with a richer, darker chocolate flavor. It still has a milky consistency, giving it a lighter color. The alcohol in this is the strongest of the three, but still isn’t super strong! The drink has a slight cookies and cream flavor while still having a strong chocolate flavor.

The middle was super milky and the least chocolate-forward of all three. It wasn’t as light and was more of a heavy milk flavor. The alcohol strength in this is mild, the weakest out of the three.

The right was very tropical, with the strongest flavor being coconut. It still has a subtle chocolate note but not nearly as much as the first. Unlike the others, the toppings did come through in some sips with coconut flakes. This gave the sip an interesting texture with some smooth sips and some flaky sips. The alcohol strength is medium of the three. The rum does come through in most sips with the coconut flavor, with the Baileys being more on the back end.

Eats

First up, we grabbed the Holiday Freight Rolls for $16. This is made with Pork, Beef, and Sweet Potato-filled Egg Rolls with sweet-and-sour Cranberry Sauce.

The egg roll wrapper is super crispy with a hearty, savory filling inside! No single ingredient takes center stage in the filling, with all flavors balancing well. The pork and beef flavors are noticeable with a mild seasoning but no heat. The sweet and sour cranberry sauce leaned more sweet, with a tartness from the cranberry. It adds a fruity contrast to the savory egg roll that enhances the filling even more!

We also tried the North Pole Catch for $19. This is made with Smoked Trout Dip, Lavash Chips, Smoked Salmon Pinwheels with Caper Dill Cream Cheese, and Fish and Shrimp Cakes with Citrus Mustard Aïoli.

North Pole Catch

The fish and shrimp cakes have a noticeably chewy consistency and strong seafood flavor. The smoked salmon pinwheels have a chewy texture with a tanginess from the cream cheese. The salmon itself is very mild and doesn’t have much of a smoky flavor. The smoked trout dip is thick and slightly chunky instead of smooth. It’s difficult to scoop with the lavash chips and does not easily stay on the chip. The flavor is distinctly fishy with a subtle smokiness in the background. The lavash chips are crunchy and fresh.

Finally, we grabbed the Oh Christmas Brie for $15. This is made with Crispy Danish Brie, Lingonberry Marmalade, and Candied Black Pepper Bacon.

Oh Christmas Brie

The inside is creamy and smooth with a mild, buttery flavor. The lingonberry marmalade complements this well! It brings a sweet, fruity element that adds to the richness of the Brie without overpowering it. The combination of all these elements makes for a sweet, creamy, crunchy, and savory dish! The candied bacon has a nice balance of sweetness and smokiness with a perfectly cooked, crispy exterior. It adds a savory crunch to the fried brie.

Nosh or Not

This Disney World restaurant is a must-visit if…

  • You want to be fully immersed in a Christmas atmosphere. The decor and theming in this spot are incredible, and it’s impossible to avoid the Christmas spirit when you visit Jock Lindsey’s this time of year. So, if you love over-the-top theming and want to feel like Christmas exploded all around you, then this is one of the best places to grab a drink and a bite to eat in Disney Springs.
  • You love a fun-themed restaurant. Jock Lindsey’s is totally decked out from the inside of the bar to every item on the menu. It’s themed to Indiana Jones in a subtle way, but it’s really just a cool space to hang out and catch up.
  • You are looking for seasonal bites. This lounge has been known to turn into a Halloween and Christmas stop where they decorate the restaurant and add new menu items. It’s such a fun way to celebrate the holidays without going into the parks, and the food has some wild looks and themes.
  • You want a wide selection of drinks and light bites. While technically Jock Lindsey’s is a bar (or hangar bar, that is), there are plenty of food options that go along with the drinks. You can easily sip on a fun drink, but we’ve been known to just come for the food, too.

You should skip this Disney World spot if…

  • You want some of the most unique food of your life. Jock Lindsey’s has a lot of fun dishes that are served in super unique ways, but we wouldn’t say the flavors are the most unique in the world. Those looking for familiar flavors will really enjoy it, and those looking for a good Instagram picture. Now, all of this does not mean we don’t enjoy it – we actually love the food! Just be warned that it might not be wildly different than what you’re used to.
  • You have a big group. While there is an outdoor section, which has more room than inside, the whole space is pretty small, and you might struggle to fit everyone. The covered patio overlooks the water, so if it’s a stormy day, your group might not be able to sit inside.
  • You prefer something less expensive. This restaurant is known for its beautifully served dishes, but we wouldn’t say they’re the most affordable we’ve ever seen.
