Fountain Bar

Grilled cheese and tomato basil soup is a great meal. Outlets at every seat to charge up between flights and service is always friendly. While a limited menu I believe some of the best quality food at the terminal.

Not the happening place. The clientele was nice, but they ebb and flow — not a steady, continuous flow of customers coming and going. People started leaving around 8pm on a Friday and by 8:30pm I was the only person left! The service was rather slow and mediocre. Waitresses tend to serve one customer at a time, walking past without checking if you need anything. No leg room at the counters so I found myself leaning in all the time, which wasn’t comfortable. Electrical plugs with USB ports for charging are at a premium; poor planning for such a new establishment. They ran out of KettleOne vodka. What bar runs out of liquor? The cold cuts and cheese platter was good.

The Fountain Bar is a fantastic addition to the A Concourse of DTW. Nestled in the center of gates, the Fountain Bar is the perfect place to grab a beverage before or between flights and has fantastic people watching opportunities. The bar stools are very comfortable and there is plenty of space for luggage.
Jerry was an amazing host and bartender. After welcoming me into the bar, he highlighted the electrical outlets (all over) and helped me with the Wi-​Fi. Then he served me a (local) whiskey over a fun circle shaped ice cube. The beer selection was also really good, but really expensive (standard airport bar). See you soon Jerry!

Tasty beverages, Euro atmosphere, and regular American airport clientele. When I first saw the Fountain Bar, it reminded me of airport bars in Zürich — curvy white design furniture, plenty of room at the bar, and good light.
The accents of the bar staff and customers, though, brings you back to the States — I had a brassy, frosted-​tips bartender who was dealing with a Southerner who wanted more Jack, more Coke, or preferably more of both in front of him.
The Pimm’s Cup was delightful, with plenty of cucumber; the guy two seats down got what sounded like a ginger Old Fashioned. I might try some food next time, but this place is mainly about the beverages.
If Vino Volo hits your tastes and price range, this might be another place for your list. Sunlight on white plastic, though, instead of pleather armchairs.

Service is quick!
California Merlot is really good. Had soup of the day, tomato basil– really good!
Good stop for quick quality food. Located next to illy coffee right when u enter delta terminal.
