About this location
Posted by Gate D-49 on the North Terminal's 2nd Level Departures walk, this Islander Bar & Grill runs 6:00am to 9:30pm, matching the hours of the other Islander Bar & Grill by Gate D-4 elsewhere in the terminal exactly. With identical hours at both, the choice between them comes down to which end of the D-gate concourse a traveller is departing from rather than when either one is open. The early 6:00am start covers the terminal's first departures, and the bar format, built around a full breakfast-to-dinner menu, gives D-49 a sit-down option that the counter-service spots nearby don't.
