Best Bars in T5
Hello, TrueBluers!
Delta loyalist (ish) here with a mid-con trip planned this week.
I'm going to be at the airport a few hours early to finish up some work. After that's done, I wanted to grab a few suds pre-flight. Normally i'd hit a skyclub, but because that's not an option I wanted to post it to the FT community: where's your favorite place to grab a bite and a drink at JFK's T5?

Bites? I usually go for Deep Blue Sushi or a premade sandwich to eat on the plane if I'm cutting it close. Suds are pretty standard across the terminal. I prefer the intergate open air bars. There's a few bartenders I see on the regular that pour em well.

The sports bar between gates 9 and 10 has the deepest tap list and a decent menu. They don't have anything spectacular but it's the best beer list in the building. Stay away from the Mexican joint between gates 11 and 12, bad food and terrible margaritas.

Airspace isn't a great bet for beer - their draft list is short and highly domestic. The bottle list is a little better (good quality at least) but still very limited. Still, the $10 credit for entry would cover at least one round (if you had free access anyway).
