The Harlequin, Hounslow

This was previously the Bridge Bar, and now re-named The Harlequin. This bar can be found by turning right on exiting security, turning left just before the currency counter, and continuing past the seafood bar and it’s on the left just before you get to the “Giraffe”. There were a couple of ales on here – Harlequin Ale (£4.10 a pint) and GKIPA (£4.20 a pint), and a third pump had an Adnam’s clip reversed. I asked the barmaid who brewed the Harlequin, but unfortunately she seemed not to understand the question. But nonetheless the Harlequin was in excellent shape – and so it should be for £4.10 for a 3.6% beer. This is an airport bar so obviously one doesn’t expect an uplifting pub experience. But it’s probably the best place airside at Terminal 1 to get a beer.
