Tango Foxtrot Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 The Twin Otter Pub has been on the local news a few times lately. I have never been there, but plan on going soon. "David Bowie " apparently flew Twin Otters with Ken Borek Air. I have a feeling Somebody here knows him . And yes, I to am wondering about happy hour?

Reminds me of a bit from Earnest Gann's autobiography - his rule was no drinking before local sunset. Harsh! I would find that hard to abide.

JL Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 If I had any critique of the place it would be the nachos. They used a processed cheese rather than freshly grated. Washrooms were nice and clean though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeker Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I've never been to the place (and will never likely get there) but it doesn't seem like a "true" pilot hangout. The clues for this are; a picture on the webpage of a martini glass perched on a napkin coaster and a reference to "a chef inspired menu" neither of which is appropriate for a pilot bar. I would guess there's just enough "aviation" to pull in the pilots but not so much as to scare off their wives. That's not a criticism, just an observation. Kind of like a place that bills itself as being outdoorsy and Canadian because they have a canoe hanging from the ceiling but in every other way is indistinguishable from a Montana's Roadhouse or a place that calls itself an "Irish Pub" because they have Guinness on tap but the menu is fish tacos and pizza. As I said, not a criticism, I don't need to be surrounded by aviation memorabilia when I eat and if it's truly owned by a pilot (ex-pilot) I wish him every success. Owning a restaurant is a tough go between attracting people with an interesting atmosphere but not so much as to scare off the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Can't argue with any of those observations. For me a pilot bar needs an airport nearby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
