Gate-side beers in Terminal B
Cervecería Chapultepec sits airside in Terminal B at Monterrey (MTY), handy if you’re flying VivaAerobus or Aeroméxico from the B gates. It runs on the same concept as in town: most items land around one price tier, so you’re not guessing what each taco or beer will cost. Figure on paying more than in the city, but still mid-range for an airport bar in Mexico.
The draw here is draft and bottled beer alongside basic bar food. You’ll see local lagers, standard Mexican labels, and a few imports in bottles or cans, usually in the MX$80–120 range at the airport. Food leans toward tacos, quesadillas, burgers, and snack plates; plan around MX$150–250 for something that feels like a meal. It’s all sit-down service, so budget at least 40 minutes if your boarding time is tight.
Most tables face directly into the B concourse, so you can keep an eye on departures for gates like B3 and B5 while you eat. Screens behind the bar usually show sports, with audio competing against terminal announcements. Power outlets are hit-or-miss, so don’t count on charging a laptop; bring a battery pack if your next flight is longer than two hours. Spanish is the default, but staff handle basic English well enough to order without drama.
Service pace tracks how busy Terminal B is in the evening bank of departures, especially around 18:00–21:00. One beer and a quick taco plate might still run 25–30 minutes when every seat is filled. If you want something faster, grab a pre-made sandwich from another B-concourse stand and circle back here for just a drink. Tip in cash pesos (10–15%) and you’ll usually see friendlier refills.
Practical tip: if your boarding pass shows a B-gate final call 30 minutes before departure, sit near the aisle side of Cervecería Chapultepec so you can bail out fast when your group number hits the screen.
