Fever-Tree Welcomes the New Year with the Opening of a New Premium Bar at Manchester Airport’s Terminal 2
Fever-Tree, the world’s leading premium mixer brand, has opened a new premium airport bar in Manchester Airport’s newly transformed 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. 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.
A premium, nature-inspired space for travellers
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 design reflects Terminal 2’s modern architecture while reinforcing Fever-Tree’s commitment to quality, craft and exceptional drinking experiences.
Perfectly paired drinks and small plates
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.
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. Its success has paved the way for expansion into Manchester Airport, one of the UK’s most important international gateways.
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.”
