Fever-Tree has opened a new premium airport bar in Manchester Airport’s newly transformed Terminal 2 today (January 15). Officially opened by Fever-Tree co-founder Tim Warrillow and Chris Woodroofe, Manchester Airport MD, the new bar from the premium mixer brand follows 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 Terminal 2. The redevelopment has created a bigger, brighter, more open terminal with an upgraded mix of shops, bars and restaurants, designed to “elevate the passenger experience from check-in to take-off”.
What to expect at the Fever-Tree bar at Manchester Airport Terminal 2
Located airside in Manchester Airport Terminal 2, the new Fever-Tree Bar features a striking signature Fever-Tree tree installation with the canopy stretching 11 metres above the bar. The menu at the bar showcases Fever-Tree’s 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.
Building on the success of the award-winning Fever-Tree Bar at Edinburgh Airport
Since opening in 2022, the Fever-Tree Bar at Edinburgh Airport has quickly become a favourite with travellers seeking a premium pre-flight experience.
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.”
“We now have the facilities to deliver a truly world-leading airport experience”
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.”
