Compared to most anyone reading this, I’m sure I was far more excited to hear that several months ago Indy was getting a Priority Pass restaurant member. Seeing as though I go in and out of this airport all the time to visit family, I was stoked to be able to use $28 to pick up a snack, quick beer, etc while waiting for my flight. Funny thing, I’ve been to the airport many times since they announced membership, but I’d always preferred to spend more time with my family than arrive early. However, that all changed yesterday, when I ended up arriving earlier than expected and figured I’d give it a go. Funny enough…I could visited many times prior to that. They allow grab and go towards Priority Pass. EVEN BETTER!
What is a Priority Pass restaurant member?
Flash your Priority Pass and get a dollar credit towards you and guests meals ( guests depends on your membership. Most credit cards allow 2 guests these days). That means if I visited with my Mom and Dad, we’d get $84 to eat, drink, and be merry. Fabulous.
Location:
B Terminal and the VERY END, past Starbuck’s. It’s kinda hidden.
I ended up just grabbing a drink from the cooler.
The advertise Kombuchas, which I love, but they were out. They have redbulls, sodas, water, etc and the bartender let me grab a drink and leave with my Priority Pass. Food starts at 11am and you can check out the menu here on Yelp if you’d like.
Overall:
It’ll be interesting to see if this is a common policy with being able to grab and go, and I’ll update this post the next time I try it. They have a good beer menu and I’d definitely sit down and indulge the next time going through, especially if there is a game on. If you’re looking for a quick little treat and you have Priority Pass…I’d swing through.
