Draft beer and bar snacks at Concourse B without re-clearing TSA
19th Hole Bar & Snacks sits landside in Terminal B’s food court, before security, so you can meet someone for a drink even if nobody has a boarding pass. Hours run 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday, with shorter 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. days on Tuesday and Saturday. It’s American bar fare, two-dollar-sign pricing, and realistically more of a pre-flight drink stop than a sit-down meal spot.
Menu is simple: bottled and draft beer, basic spirits, and packaged or bar-style snacks only. Multiple Google reviews flag that you won’t find a real entrée here, so if you want tacos or a full plate, plan on walking over to Tia’s or another food court option in Concourse B. One traveler summed it up: “Nothing fancy, just grabbed a quick beer before boarding, did the job.” Figure roughly stadium pricing for drinks, with beers in the high single digits rather than the $4–5 range you’d see outside the airport.
Service runs on a minimal staff model, usually one bartender on duty in this Terminal B spot, which keeps things straightforward but means a short queue can form around peak bank times, roughly 3:00–6:00 p.m. With a 5.0 rating on the airport’s own listing but more mixed comments on Google, expectations should sit at “cold drink and a barstool,” not “sit-down restaurant with a menu.” Another reviewer called out “only bar-style snacks,” then walked to Tia’s for actual food, which matches the general pattern here.
Watch out for: food options are limited to light bites, and the bar closes by 7:00 p.m. five days a week and 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday and Saturday, so late-night flights out of El Paso won’t find this place open. One practical tip: if you want a beer here before security and a second drink near your gate, cap your time at 20–25 minutes so you can still clear TSA and reach Concourse A or B with at least 30 minutes before boarding.
