Cocktail-first bar in Main Terminal B, not a food court stall
In Midway’s Main Terminal Concourse B, Hubbard Inn runs more like a downtown cocktail bar than a quick-service counter. It sits in the B concourse corridor, so think stools and high-tops instead of food court trays. Drinks land in the $14–$16 range, with shareable plates around $12–$18, so this is a sit-down stop, not a budget refuel.
Menu skew is cocktails, flatbreads, and small plates rather than full entrees. Google reviews call out decent martinis and house drinks as the main draw, with the food described as “just okay” more often than “great.” Portions run on the smaller side for the price, so plan on a snack and a drink, not a full dinner before a 3-hour flight.
Price tier is solidly $$ by airport standards, matching that $14–$16 cocktail band and 4.0-ish overall rating on Google. Regulars talk about sharing one flatbread or appetizer between two people and then heading for something more filling elsewhere in Main if they still need a real meal. Think of Hubbard Inn as your pre-boarding bar, not your only meal of the day.
Service notes: several travelers flag slow checks and laggy table service, especially during evening bank departures in Concourse B. The workaround they mention is to grab a stool at the bar itself; drink execution and speed seem better there than at the tables. Music volume also comes up in reviews, with some saying it’s too loud to work on a laptop for an hour.
Watch out for long waits when flights are backed up across Main Terminal B, plus the sticker shock on two cocktails that can hit $30–$32 before tip. If your connection at Midway is under 45 minutes, this isn’t the move. One practical tip: sit at the bar, order one cocktail and a shared plate upfront, and ask for the check with your second round to avoid clock-watching before boarding.
