- About The Pub -

The Start
       Founded in March of 2004, just a week before St. Patrick's Day, Pilot's Pub is the largest "Pub" in Louisiana. We have a huge downstairs bar (aka the "Fox 2 Room") and a more intimate upstairs bar (aka the "Ready Room"). Throughout the building you will find pictures, memorabilia, and keepsakes from great pilots and friends.

Smokers Welcomed (tobacco only).

       Pilot's Pub was created with the idea of having hot girls serve great drinks in a cool atmosphere. A friendly, flirty staff and great rock music makes for an amazing time whenever you pass through the doors of the pub. Come see for yourself what makes Pilot's Pub such a popular destination.

Bring your canines too, this is a dog-friendly establishment.


 

Fox 2 Room
       Fox 2 is located on the 01 level of Pilot's Pub. The name is derived from a brevity code used by NATO pilots to signal the simulated or actual release of an air-to-air mention. 'Fox' is short for 'Foxtrot', the phonetic designation for the letter 'f', which is short for 'fire'. The radio call announcing that a weapon has been fired is intended to help avoid friendly fire, cuing other pilots to ensure that they do not maneuver into the path of harm.

       Fox Two indicates specifically the launch of an infrared-guided missile, such as an AIM-9 Sidewinder aft of the 180. This kind of shot is the most accurate.

 

Ready Room
       The funny thing about a ready room is that you get attached to the hole. As much as you are attached to the ship. It's more than sentiment. It's an urge for protection. The loneliest feeling in the whole of a carrier pilot's world is when he's at sea with the gas running low, and he can't see his carrier. You think of the ready room then, and the noisy guys who make it the most desirable place in the world. It's your office, you live in it, it is the big thing in your life. […] You sweat and worry in it, and grouse and argue, and you get mad at it when you can't hear yourself speak because everyone is yelling at once, but you're deeply attached to the place.

—Tommy Booth, "Wildcats" Over Casablanca[3]

       Ready Room is located on the 02 level of Pilot's Pub. You access it through the stairs next to the chalkboard just inside the pub.

       This is a much more intimate bar, with it's a pool table, dart board, and beer pong table. It even has it's own helipad! Large couches provide comfortable seating.
