The Layover Bar

Avoid. Takes 15 minutes during non busy time to get nuggets and only after I asked where they were. Kitchen help didn’t act the least interested in getting my order right. Bartender spent more time texting on his phone than service.

The GF was getting ready to punch out of town. I took her to the airport and parked, wanting to spend a little more time with her. After she checked in, we found ourselves at TLB. It was busy as one would find a bar on the other side of security on a Friday night. Surveying the scene, I thought we might be just sipping on some caffeinated beverage at a nearby kiosk. The seating was extremely limited due to the volume of those coming and going. Then from the bar, I heard a friendly traveler, offer to move over so the GF and I could sit together. Thank you kind sir, where ever you might be. We sat down and were immediately greeted by a very nice bartender. Kudos to you my fine fellow. You are the very definition of what a barkeep should be. I was proud of this fine representative of the local service industry. You made it a five star experience. However, with averages, it is hard to pay strip prices at the airport. But when my time comes to take a jet plane, if I see this gentleman slinging drinks, I will absolutely stop by for a beer or allow you mix a stiff drink for me!

there are many other bars in this airport you can go to. The bartender or manager was a dick. I am a big fan of jerks, but they weren’t even funny

Drinks aren’t cheap, but that’s a bit to be expected from an airport. (That said, the wine pour was extremely generous the few times I’ve been here.)
It’s before the security checkpoint, so it’s a great place to kill time if you are waiting for someone to get off a flight and/​or be picked up.

Cool bar located before security. Prices are steep, but drinks are good. They are right next to Wendys, so you can order food and then have some drinks as well. The one bartender was going to tables to see if people wanted anything from the bar. That was pretty cool.
