Bar is still the same as previous reviews , the staff prefer customers to use the waiter/waitress service but plenty of people just walking up to the bar to be served .
Still no real ale available .

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about All Bar One
Formerly a Wetherspoons called the Dragonfly, this elongated bar is located on the mezzanine above the departures level food court, with plenty of natural light during the daytime and an airy feel. There is also a raised seating area in one corner which is rather more gloomy. Sadly, there is now no real ale available - just various keg and bottled beers, mostly unadventurous, of which the Purity Longhorn IPA (£2.55, half) is probably the most interesting. Otherwise little changed, apart from the addition of piped music.

This All Bar One is located on a mezzanine level that overlooks the departures concourse, a large Burger King and the entry to the monorail that takes travellers to the train station and NEC. I scaled some stairs found to the left to find myself at the edge of a long thin bar furnished with high and standard sized wooden tables and chairs. This furniture is faced by a bar that runs along the back wall. To the left of the bar is a small raised seating section and on the right wall is a departures and arrivals board.
The bar is stocked with premium draught products and Guinness. There is also an espresso section of the bar which is where the lone barmaid was camped during my visit on Friday afternoon. After waiting for a minute or two at the bar she came over and told me that this establishment adopts a table service process and she advised me to take a seat where “someone would be right over”. Somebody wasn’t right over, but I did eventually get served. Whilst waiting I had a nose at the menu to discover there is a large sharing platter selection and to give an idea of food prices the standard burger and fries costs £10.50. There is also a children’s menu and the opening times are daily from 4am to 9pm, although breakfast is only available until midday.
I’m not a big fan of this chain and I don’t like table service, but I’ve been in much worse airport bars.

Open plan area on mezzanine opening onto airport concourse below. Its basically just a waiting area at the airport, with normal Wetherspoon seating.
2 real ales and extremely expensive, the Abbott Ale I had was actually kept ok.
But its not somewhere you would make a special trip too.

Crowded this morning as flights cancelled due to Icelandic Volcano. There is a quirky lift from Terminal 1 to the bar area. There is a two tiered seating area, and a bar area overlooking the terminal below. Breakfast cost £5.99 with the toast and butter and was ok but seemed smaller than the usual. Service good and staff friendly. Suprised to see festival beers on, and although around 8am was a little early, we had been up since 4.15 so were ready for a beer. Enjoyed the Goose Island Honkers at £2.69 a pint! Val-dieu Abbey Blonde on tomorrow, and we will be there hoping to get on the Fly Maybe!
