Thirsty travelers can now enjoy the new bar inside Airline British And American Airlines‘ The Greenwich Lounge at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). New, shiny cocktail obsession after the opening of the relatively new Brooklyn Brewery Pub inside JFK Terminal 8 Lounge (formerly Flagship Lounge).
Bridge Bar has partnered exclusively with actor Ryan Reynolds’ Aviation American Gin. It offers a range of specialty cocktails and mocktails, all powered by Betty Buzz — a range of alcohol-free carbonated mixers introduced by actress Blake Lively.
The bar has been crafted to transport customers to the golden age of air travel and is sure to take its hat off (certainly a Sinatra-approved felt hat) in the early 60’s when traveling aviation remains as exclusive as it is.
Calum Laming, British Airways’ chief customer officer, believes the new addition couldn’t be more suited to the lounge.
“We are excited to introduce a new experience at the Greenwich Lounge,” Laming said. With Betty Buzz and Aviation American Gin, we created the perfect space for our customers to relax before their flight, offering a wide variety of delicious cocktail options and flavors. to suit all tastes.”
