Rotating Flying Dog drafts make this Concourse A/B stop worth planning around
Flying Dog Tap House sits airside in the A-B concourse at BWI, drawing Maryland beer fans who actually plan layovers here just for the taps. You’ll usually see several Flying Dog brews on draft at any given time, often including classics like Raging Bitch and seasonal one-offs. Expect pub food, bar seating, and table service, all within a short walk of A and B gates.
Hours track typical A-B bank times, with the bar open from early morning departures into the evening rush, though last call can slide earlier on slow nights. Prices sit in the $$ band, with pints commonly in the $10–$13 range and appetizers running around $10–$15. One reviewer called prices “airport-high,” especially compared with downtown Baltimore bars, so budget accordingly if you’re planning more than one round.
Food is straight bar fare, but reviews steer you toward the pretzel bites and wings, which multiple Google comments flag as the most reliable options versus the burgers. Burgers draw more mixed notes on temperature and seasoning, so treat them as a backup if the fryer items don’t appeal. If you’re tight on time before a 45-minute connection, stick to those quicker appetizers instead of full entrées.
Service gets a 2-star vibe overall, with repeated complaints about slow attention and long waits for checks when the place fills before evening departures between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. Regulars on Reddit say they always grab a bar stool instead of a table to speed things up, and some mention ordering food and first beer in the same breath to avoid a second wait for the kitchen ticket.
Power outlets line many seats at the bar, noted in several Google reviews, so it doubles as a work spot if you need to top off a laptop to 100% before boarding. Tip: if you see a seat open directly at the bar, take it and get your order in within the first 2 minutes of sitting down.
