The bar’s cozy corners are decked out with holiday cheer, making it an inviting space to unwind and revel in the joyful ambiance. You will have the option of sitting inside amongst the décor or outside on their boat – Reggie.

It was a cool evening, so we opted to sit outside and had a wonderful view of the lake and live entertainment.

No visit to Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar is complete without indulging in their signature cocktails. The holiday season brings a special twist to the menu, featuring festive concoctions that are as creative as they are delicious.

We were visiting just for a few drinks and decided on trying the Hot Chocolate Grail Flight. This consisted of three spiked hot chocolates.

1. Spiced Caramel with Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum,
2. Cookies ‘n Cream with White Chocolate and Stoli Vanil Vodka,
3. Peppermint with Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur and Bols Crème de Menthe White Liqueur

All three drinks were so unique it was hard to pick a favorite – however, the Peppermint with Bailey’s was hard to beat!
