The restaurant and pub planned for 5440 Airline Drive will feature Flying Heart’s established dining concept without on-site brewing operations.
BOSSIER CITY, La. — Flying Heart Brewing & Pub’s planned expansion into North Bossier moved another step forward Monday, Nov. 9, when the Bossier City-Parish Metropolitan Planning Commission approved a conditional-use application for the restaurant’s new location at 5440 Airline Drive.
The approval allows the sale of high- and low-alcohol-content beverages for on-premises consumption at the proposed restaurant and pub, which is targeting a February 2027 opening.
Ashley Magee, director of business management and finance for Flying Heart Brewing & Pub, told commissioners the new location will replicate the company’s existing restaurant concept without including brewing equipment.
“We’re actually just replicating, putting that in Benton or North Bossier, without the brewing equipment,” Magee said.
The new location will focus on the restaurant and pub experience, including pizza and alcoholic beverages, rather than operating as a brewery.
When commissioners asked about the anticipated opening, Magee said the company was aiming for February.
Expansion previously announced
Flying Heart announced plans for the North Bossier location earlier this year as part of its continued growth in the regional restaurant market.
The company operates its original Bossier City location, and the Airline Drive project represents another step in expanding the Flying Heart brand.
The November 9 MPC action advances the project through the local approval process. Commissioners approved the conditional-use request without opposition during the public hearing.
The approval addresses alcohol sales and consumption at the proposed restaurant. Additional permitting and operational preparations may be required before the business opens.
A specific opening date in February has not been announced.
