Sip, Savor, and Soar – ATL – Atlanta International Airport Adds New Dining Destinations for Travelers
Flying through Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport just got tastier. ASW Flights + Bites and two new Starbucks locations have officially landed in Concourse B, offering travelers an elevated food and beverage experience. From local Atlanta-distilled spirits to globally beloved lattes, this expansion—helmed by hospitality giant Delaware North—promises a flavorful layover like never before. The launch was marked by a spirited “Concourse Crawl” event on July 30, celebrating the fusion of local craft culture and convenient travel perks.
Craft Cocktails at 30,000 Feet: ASW Flights + Bites Takes Off
Set near Gate B33, ASW Flights + Bites is more than a tasting room—it’s a love letter to Atlanta’s craft distilling scene. Featuring award-winning spirits from ASW Distillery, this new airport venue invites travelers to relax with a curated flight of bourbon, rye, or vodka, or indulge in a handcrafted cocktail before takeoff.
“We are thrilled to bring ASW Distillery and Starbucks to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport,”
Chris Chila
Vice President of Operations for Delaware North Travel.
“These openings represent our commitment to enhancing the travel experience by offering unique and high-quality dining and beverage options.”
Whether you’re heading to Los Angeles or London, ASW’s refined menu is a memorable sendoff—or welcome home—for those who appreciate locally made spirits with Southern soul.
“We’re honored to bring our craft to one of the world’s busiest airports,”
Jim Chasteen
Co-Founder and CEO of ASW Distillery.
“This opportunity lets us share our passion for distilling with a global audience.”
ASW has become a pillar in Georgia’s spirits scene, with nods from the American Craft Spirits Association and international tasting competitions. Now, travelers can sample this excellence while waiting for a flight—no Uber needed.
Two New Starbucks Bring Familiar Comfort to Concourse B
For those needing a caffeine fix on the fly, two new Starbucks locations—now open at Gates B15 and B28—offer the full range of coffee drinks, teas, and fresh-baked pastries. Opened quietly in March, both stores are now fully operational and feature mobile ordering for speed and convenience.
That means your go-to vanilla latte or double espresso can be ready before you even finish TSA screening.
“The new partnership helps redefine airport concessions by blending local and global brands to enhance the passenger experience.”
Tyronia Smith
ATL’s Deputy General Manager for Revenue Development and Management
In a hub that serves over 100 million travelers annually, efficient and enjoyable dining is more than a luxury—it’s a necessity.
Delaware North Expands its ATL Footprint
These additions are just the beginning. As part of a 10-year extension with Hartsfield-Jackson, Delaware North is set to develop five new food and beverage concepts in Concourse B, building on its already established presence in Terminals T and D.
From travelers catching early morning flights to those sprinting between layovers, the goal is to make airport dining a highlight, not a hassle.
“Our focus is on creating dynamic experiences that reflect both the character of Atlanta and the evolving needs of modern travelers,”
said Chila
By incorporating Atlanta-born brands like ASW and reliable international staples like Starbucks, the airport is moving closer to its vision of becoming a global culinary gateway.
Why It Matters to Atlanta and Beyond
This strategic expansion reflects Atlanta’s dual identity as both a local cultural hub and a global transit powerhouse. By prioritizing both local flavor and international familiarity, Hartsfield-Jackson continues to set the gold standard for airport hospitality.
For Atlanta-area residents in Alpharetta, Norcross, Marietta, and Duluth, these updates offer a proud moment—seeing a beloved local distillery ascend to international visibility, and experiencing world-class amenities on home turf.
And for travelers passing through, it’s a rare opportunity to enjoy a taste of Atlanta’s culinary scene without leaving the terminal.
Next Time You Fly, Arrive Hungry
From locally distilled cocktails to your favorite coffee classics, the new additions in Concourse B at Hartsfield-Jackson offer something for everyone. Thanks to Delaware North, ASW Distillery, and Starbucks, the airport experience in Atlanta just got a major upgrade—one that celebrates convenience, culture, and flavor in every sip. So the next time you’re flying through ATL, arrive early… and arrive hungry.
