Website

Air-side only of Terminal 1, on the first floor level. The menu offers hearty dishes where each dish has a recommended beer to accompany it. Seemingly as of 2025, you must, ordinarily, order via a website so you will need a mobile or tablet, this means it is card transactions only. Back in 2019, three, mostly locally-sourced cask ales were available on draught from handpump or casks set on the bar-back. That situation changed in the post-Covid world, so cask ale choice then was more limited. Finally, in 2024, they jettisoned cask ale altogether. The bar is large enough to accommodate 300 people. Quite an innovative venture for the airport. Be aware that prices are high!
Opening hours are: Mon to Sun 3am till the last flight.

Historic Interest

New-build bar opened 22/3/2013. When it opened in 2013, the marketing blurb described it as '... an innovative eating and drinking experience at the heart of Terminal 1, where you'll find that it isn't just the menu that's unique'.
