American Craft Tavern

T concourse bar label, but little else in traveler chatter

American Craft Tavern shows up on the CMH map for both Concourse B and Concourse C in Terminal T, but regulars don’t really talk about it by name. Think generic airport bar: tap handles, basic cocktails, and a short grill-style menu tied into the concourse seating areas. You’re airside after security, so this is a “you’re already at your gate” option rather than a pre-checkpoint meet-up spot.

Pricing at similar CMH bar concepts runs around $8–$10 for a draft beer and $14–$18 for a burger or chicken sandwich, and you can expect American Craft Tavern to sit in that range. Food is standard bar fare: burgers, fries, maybe a chicken tenders plate, usually prepped on a small line meant to keep up with 30–40 seats plus bar standing room. If you just need a 20-minute bite before a Delta or Southwest flight out of B or C, it does that job.

Hours at CMH’s concourse bars typically track the first departure waves, opening near 4:30–5:00 a.m. and winding down after the last evening banks around 9:00–10:00 p.m. Expect American Craft Tavern to mirror that pattern on both concourses. Early flights out of Concourse B often see the bar already pouring coffee and basic breakfast plates by 6:00 a.m., while an 8:30 p.m. departure from Concourse C may find the grill shutting a bit early if traffic is light.

Because the airport only lists American Craft Tavern generically, you’re really choosing it based on proximity to your gate in B or C, not for a destination dish. If you care more about a quiet seat and a power outlet than a specific menu, walk 3–4 gates away from your boarding area and use the bar as a backup. One practical move: check your gate first, then pick the American Craft Tavern location that’s within a five-minute walk so you’re not sprinting back when boarding starts.
