CVG Adds Seven New Food and Beverage Concepts to Concourses

Fliers at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) will have some new food and beverage options to enjoy before takeoff.

CVG is partnering with SSP America and Tailwind Hospitality to bring seven new concepts — four full-service restaurants and three coffee and snack stops — to both concourses. These include a mix of local, national and boutique brands tailored to passenger needs, CVG said in a press release. SSP America and Tailwind Hospitality will run and operate all the new establishments.

CVG says many of these spaces were scheduled to be redeveloped in 2020, but were put on hold due to the pandemic.

“Adding creative and new food and beverage options for travelers is critical to elevating the customer experience at CVG,” Candace McGraw, chief executive officer of CVG, said in the release. “We look forward to working with SSP America and Tailwind Hospitality to roll out these concepts for our passengers.”

The seven concepts are:

Concourse A:

• Dunkin, which will replace Starbucks in both Concourses A and B
• Taste of Belgium, which will replace The Local

Concourse B:

• Bengals Bar & Kitchen, which will replace Outback. This will be a contemporary sports bar named and themed after the Cincinnati Bengals. The menu will feature a classic lineup of sports bar favorites that are thoughtfully curated to create a quintessential Cincinnati experience.
  
  
• Carmella’s Modern Trattoria, which will replace Hop & Cask. This trattoria is tailored and customized for CVG travelers with a modern Italian, full-service bar and restaurant experience, a chef-driven menu and scratch-made dishes.
  
  
• Tap & Pour Gastrobar, which will replace Covington Crossing. Tap & Pour is designed specifically for travelers and offers something for everyone, including hand-crafted drinks and hometown brews. Dishes are freshly prepared and feature local flavors.
  
  
• Sambazon, which will go in the space once occupied by Great American Bagel. It’s a unique açaí fruit bowl concept good for both meals and snacks with toppings like fresh fruit, granola and more.
