New posh bar officially opens at Manchester Airport's Terminal 2

Officially opened on 15th January by Fever-Tree co-founder Tim Warrillow and Chris Woodroofe, Manchester Airport MD, the new bar builds on Fever-Tree’s experience in creating premium bar spaces for travellers, following the launch of the Fever-Tree Bar at Edinburgh Airport in 2022.

The opening comes as Manchester Airport nears the completion of its £1.3bn transformation programme, with the majority of its 50+ airlines now operating from its brand-new, award-winning Terminal 2.

Located airside in Terminal 2, the new Fever-Tree Bar offers a stylish yet relaxing setting for travellers to unwind before their flight. At its heart is a striking signature Fever-Tree tree installation with the canopy stretching 11 metres above the bar, inspired by the botanical landscapes where the brand sources its ingredients.

The menu showcases Fever-Tree’s award-winning mixers, paired with premium spirits from leading local and international distilleries. Travellers can enjoy a carefully curated selection of long mixed drinks, including Gin & Tonics, Highballs, Mules, Spritzes and Palomas. A menu of seasonal small plates is also available, designed to complement the drinks offering and provide a refined pre-flight treat.

Tim Warrillow, CEO and Co-Founder of Fever-Tree, said: “This is an incredibly exciting moment for airport travel, and Manchester Airport’s new Terminal 2 is setting a new benchmark for the passenger experience. After the fantastic reception to our first airport bar at Edinburgh Airport, we are delighted to bring Fever-Tree to Manchester and to be part of the transformed T2 offering. We look forward to welcoming passengers to enjoy perfectly mixed long drinks in a space inspired by the natural world behind our mixers.”

Manchester Airport managing director Chris Woodroofe said: “Here at Manchester Airport we’re proud to connect the North to the world, with the greatest route network of any UK airport outside London. We’ve invested £1.3bn in our brand-new, award-winning Terminal 2 so that we now have the facilities to deliver a truly world-leading airport experience.

“Fever-Tree is a fantastic addition to the departure lounge – it is a brilliantly designed space where passengers can relax in style ahead of their flights. It brings something new and unique to the airport and I’m sure our passengers will love it.”
