Baladin’s second outpost sits airside in T1’s main gate area
This is Terre di Baladin, the more food‑centric sibling of the main Baladin bar at Turin Airport, still tied to the Piedmontese brewery of the same name. It’s post‑security in the boarding‑lounge zone, so you can keep an eye on T1 gate screens while you drink. Think Baladin draft beers first, with a lighter snack menu that runs closer to aperitivo than full meal. Expect prices solidly in the $$ range compared with central Turin.
Beer is the point: regulars mention grabbing a single draft before an evening departure, then migrating toward quieter seats near their actual gate. One reviewer called out “beer and chips” as a typical order, and that sums up the food format here: simple bar bites, crisps, maybe a sandwich or two, not the full kitchen you’d get in town. Figure on paying several euros more per pint than in a city Baladin, which lines up with other Google Maps comments about airport markups.
Hours are fuzzy: the airport listings lump Terre di Baladin under the broader Baladin concept, so assume opening roughly tracks main departure waves from early morning through late‑evening flights. Seating is limited and can feel crowded around evening bank departures from T1, especially when the primary Baladin bar fills up and people overflow into this spot. That overflow use is exactly how frequent flyers describe it on reviews.
Watch out for sticker shock if you’re coming straight from Turin’s city‑center bars; several reviewers specifically call the beer prices high for what is essentially a quick drink near the gate. Also, don’t bank on lingering: with only a handful of tables near the boarding‑lounge outlets, turnover is fast and standing with your glass isn’t unusual. One practical move: order your Baladin draft here, then carry it a few steps toward your exact gate, where seating usually opens up and noise drops a notch.
