Transformation of Airport Bar and Airfare complete. The modern, light and colourful theme introduces “the bar” and “bar food”.

You really should check it out. As you climb the stairs you are met by vibrancy – entire blocks of colour ranging from the palest of lime greens to pure raspberry tones. On reaching the top of the stairs the whole area begs you to call all your friends and get them to meet you in the bar to sit down and relax in the cubed leather sofas and chairs – a truly indulging experience.

If you want to be part of the ‘crowd’ you can sit on one of the poseur chairs and really chat. It is an experience you just want to be part of – the whole surroundings --– the colours, the lighting, the chairs and furnishings. The bar is certainly not only ‘the place to meet’, it is ‘the place to meet and drink’ in fact ‘the place to meet, drink and stay’.

bar food - continuing the same colourful and contemporary feel but with an additional counter into the bar. When bar food opens on 25 September expect to be dazzled. Amongst the changes is the layout of the equipment, allowing staff will have more space to work. To tempt those taste-buds, the range of products on offer has been extended.

the bar is open from 12 noon until 11.00pm Monday to Saturday and 12 noon until 10.30pm on Sunday.

bar food opens on Thursday 26 September and normal opening hours will be from 12 noon until 10.30pm Monday to Friday, 11.00am until 10.30pm Saturday and 2.30 until 10.00pm on Sunday.
