Gate A-side at WAW means Beer & Burgers is your sit-down option
Post-security in Terminal A at Warsaw Chopin Airport, Beer & Burgers is one of the few spots where you can get a proper table and a hot meal before boarding. The focus is straightforward from the name: burgers as the main plate, beer as the main drink. If you want something more substantial than a pre-packed sandwich from a kiosk near gate A20, this is the logical stop.
Terminal A at WAW serves most Schengen departures, so Beer & Burgers mainly caters to short- and medium-haul traffic heading across Europe. Expect standard airport pricing, with burgers typically sitting in the mid-range for sit-down options in Warsaw, higher than a landside fast-food combo but cheaper than a premium à la carte restaurant in the city center 8 km away. Beer comes in draft and bottle formats, with prices above downtown bars but in line with terminal A’s other licensed venues.
Service runs throughout the main flight banks in Terminal A, roughly from the first morning departures around 5:00–6:00 until late-evening flights thin out after 21:00–22:00. That timing works for both early LOT departures to regional hubs and late flights operated by carriers like Lufthansa or KLM. Turn times for made-to-order burgers usually sit longer than grabbing something from a gate fridge, so build in at least 30 minutes before boarding time printed on your A-gate pass.
Beer & Burgers sits airside, so you must clear security in Terminal A before eating here; there is no access from the public check-in hall on the departures level. If your flight uses a bus gate at A, factor in the extra 10–15 minutes it can take to reach the downstairs holding area once you leave the restaurant. Tip: order the burger and beer combo in one go at the start; splitting orders can slow things down when the A pier peaks around midday and early evening waves.
