Draft beer and burgers right in BGY’s T1 departures
At 12OZ in Terminal T1 departures, you’re looking at a quick pub-style stop for a burger and a pint before boarding. It sits airside after security, so you’re already through checks when you sit down. Think 15–30 minutes to eat if you’re rushing to a Schengen gate, a bit longer if you order from the grill and grab a second drink.
Menu focus is straight to the point: burgers, hot dogs, club sandwiches, and fries, plus several 0.20L and 0.40L draft beers on tap. Expect bar food pricing typical for Bergamo Airport: sandwiches in the 7–10 € range, burgers a bit higher, and draft beer adding a few more euros to the bill. Soft drinks and coffee round it out if you’re skipping alcohol before a Ryanair hop.
12OZ opens in the morning with coffee service and stays running through the main bank of afternoon and evening departures. That means you can grab a cappuccino and a pastry before an 08:00 low-cost flight, then the same counter flips to beer and burgers for the 18:30 crowd heading to London or Barcelona. It’s one of the few places in BGY T1 where a proper sit-down with a hot sandwich and a beer is straightforward.
Seating is casual bar tables right in the departures area of Terminal 1, so you’re never more than a short walk from most gates. Because it’s open to the concourse, you keep an eye on boarding lines forming 20–30 meters away, which helps with Ryanair’s herd-style queues. Noise level tracks the departure board, so plan on raised-voice conversation during the evening wave.
Tip: order and pay at the counter as soon as you arrive, then pick a table facing the overhead screens so you can watch for a sudden gate change at Bergamo’s T1.
