Avion Restaurant At The Flying W Airport

Stepping onto the grounds of the Flying W Airport & Resort is like taking a quick trip back to the mid-20th century, a time when air travel was pure glamour. The entire complex was originally established in the 1960s by Bill Whitesell (the “W” in the name) to serve traveling aviators and local families alike. The restaurant, formerly known as Avion Restaurant, anchored this vision as a destination for fine international cuisine and an extensive wine list. While the original indoor dining room has changed, the spirit of upscale, accessible fun lives on.

Today, the essential feature for any bar lover is the incredible Outside Tiki Bar, located at the famous Landing Strip Beach Club. Picture this: You’re sipping a cold cocktail or a local craft beer from a list that has earned them an active spot on Untappd, all while lounging next to the massive, airplane-shaped swimming pool.

This unique resort bar is perfectly situated to allow patrons to relax, socialize, and, most uniquely, watch planes take off and land on the adjacent runway (N14). It seamlessly blends a tropical poolside vibe with aviation excitement. On weekends, the atmosphere soars with live music—a tradition that makes the Tiki Bar a major draw for classic rock and tribute bands, creating a lively party atmosphere that locals rave about. It’s the perfect seasonal escape in the heart of South Jersey, offering a fun, family-friendly environment with great drinks, great food, and unbeatable plane-watching views.
