Fresh-squeezed stop near NITB security at PNQ
Juice Bar sits just past security in Pune’s NITB terminal, near the main cluster of domestic departure gates, so you can grab something cold after the tray dance, not before. It’s a basic counter setup: stand, order, pay, and hover nearby for your drink while keeping an eye on the gate screens about 20 meters away.
Prices run in the ₹120–₹250 range for juices and milkshakes, with small water bottles usually around ₹40–₹50. That’s airport-markup but still cheaper than many sit-down spots in the same NITB concourse. Budget 5–10 minutes from order to first sip if they’re juicing to order, a bit longer if a crew just landed and the line suddenly fills with 8–10 people.
Menu boards change, but you’ll commonly see orange, sweet lime (mosambi), watermelon, and mixed fruit juices, plus a couple of milkshake flavors like chocolate or banana. Go for single-fruit options if you care about freshness; mixed fruit can lean sweeter and use more pre-cut pieces. In a pinch, a bottled juice or lassi from their fridge case is usually faster than anything blended.
There’s no dedicated seating at Juice Bar, just a narrow standing area in front of the counter and a few shared seats in the adjacent NITB waiting area roughly 10–15 steps away. If you’re boarding from a distant gate, factor in a 5-minute walk with a full cup in hand, since lids and straws sometimes run out during peak morning and evening waves.
Practical tip: order, then immediately ask for “less ice” or “no ice” if you care about getting more actual juice for your ₹200, and check your gate number on the nearby display before you pay so you’re not jogging the length of NITB with a spilling cup.
