About this location
This Islander Bar & Grill, by Gate D-4 on the North Terminal's 2nd Level Departures walk, keeps the same 6:00am-to-9:30pm hours as the other location by Gate D-49 elsewhere in the terminal. Since the schedules line up exactly, the decision between the two comes down to which gate a traveller is closer to rather than which one is open later. Opening at 6:00am puts it ahead of most counters on this end of the D concourse, and running until 9:30pm keeps it in play for evening departures long after the terminal's quick-service spots have started closing registers.
