The Phantom Werks Bar pretty much seems like a dream for any guy who watched Top Gun, Behind Enemy Lines, and all those other [Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/houseplant-directors-chair) movies with fighter planes I can’t think of.

The Phantom Werks Bar is a space-inspired [steel bar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barred-collection) surrounded by four actual [fighter jet ejection seats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mclaren-monocell-edition). While you can’t actually eject (though why would you want to?), maybe if you sit at the bar long enough (and drink enough) you’ll think you’re in a plane.
