    Hi, I plan to depart Dublin Airport in the coming weeks.
    Are any of the bars open?
    Looking at the web site it would appear not.

    However in recent times I have visited Wrights of Howth which is a small shop with a few tables. Used to have a can or two there. Just wondering if they are operating as normal.

    The whole airport is so dead, very very strange.

    Just an update. Wrights of Howth is indeed open and sells 500ml cans for €3.90.
    It’s located on the way to gates 301-307A.

    Definitely beers available at the Marquette.. table service only with food.
    Same upstairs for the Garden Terrace in T1.

    Any of my flights tend to be early in the day so Coffee only..


    Wouldn't bother drinking alcohol before a flight these days...Once you're in the Air there's no queuing for the loos and you have to press the call bell for cabin crew to give you the all clear to go... It's like being back in school having to ask the teacher for permissions to go... not worth the hassle imo...

    Was there a few weeks ago and wasn't allowed to buy a pint without spending €9 on food first. This was in T1

    Would not recommend The Marquette.

    When I went to boading gate I found "Cafe Bar" was open for beers.
