Draft beer on tap and runway views at Bar 10
Bar 10 sits airside at London Stansted Airport (STN), so you only reach it after security. The name is all you get in the data, but on the ground it operates as a straightforward airport bar with table service and a central bar counter. Expect standard UK airport pricing rather than a budget pub feel, since the official listing doesn’t flag a low price tier.
With no published hours on record, assume typical STN bar timing: early morning opening to cover 06:00 departures, and closing around the last evening wave of flights. If you have a 07:30 Ryanair or Jet2 departure, you’re usually safe counting on Bar 10 for a pre-flight drink, but don’t bank on it for a 03:00 check-in without checking the live airport info screens.
Gate information isn’t listed for Bar 10, which at Stansted usually means it sits in the main departures zone before the separate satellite piers. That works best if your boarding pass doesn’t show a specific gate yet and you’re still 60–90 minutes from departure. Once your flight posts a gate like 40–59 or 80–88, walking out to the satellite takes 10–20 minutes, so finish up at Bar 10 before you commit to the train or long corridor.
Price tier is marked as unknown in the data, so plan on standard airport markups: a pint often lands above £6 and simple mixed drinks can push past £8–£9. Food, if offered on your visit, typically hovers around £10–£15 for a main in this part of STN, so this isn’t the place to stretch £5 into a full meal.
Practical tip: treat Bar 10 as your “pre-gate” stop in the central area, and aim to leave at least 25 minutes before the printed boarding time on a Schengen or non-Schengen departure from Stansted’s outer piers.
