Casino Bar

Gate-side drinks in Terminal B

Casino Bar sits airside in Terminal B at Leipzig/Halle, a small counter where you can grab a drink without straying far from most Schengen gates. It’s a basic setup: a few bar stools, standing room, and direct views of nearby departure boards, so you can watch your flight status while you sip.

Opening hours roughly track flight banks, with the bar typically operating from early morning departures into the evening wave, especially when Ryanair and Condor flights are running from B. If you have a 45–60 minute wait before boarding, this is enough time for a coffee or beer without stressing the gate call.

Pricing lines up with standard German airport levels: expect around €3 for an espresso, €4–5 for soft drinks, and €5–7 for draft or bottled beer. Mixed drinks usually sit in the €7–10 range. Card payments are widely taken, and staff are used to quick turnarounds when boarding starts in 10–15 minutes.

Food is limited, so think of Casino Bar as a drinks stop, not a full meal. You’ll typically find packaged snacks like nuts or chips under €4, but not hot dishes or made-to-order plates. If you want a sandwich or something more filling, grab it in the Zentralterminal first and use Casino Bar purely for the drinks break in B.

Seats at the counter go fast during evening departures from Terminal B, especially in the 17:00–20:00 window, so be ready to stand if you arrive last minute. On quieter mid-day flights, you can usually sit, plug in your phone, and keep an eye on your gate 30–40 meters away.

Practical tip: if your flight leaves from B but check-in was in the Zentralterminal, pick up any real food there, then head through security and use Casino Bar just for coffee, beer, or a quick pre-flight drink at your gate.
