Airports today are more than just transit hubs—they’re evolving into lifestyle destinations. And nothing proves this better than Barley & Grapes Café, a microbrewery-style café that’s redefining retail therapy at airports.
Picture this: you’ve checked in, cleared security, and now you’re left with a couple of hours before boarding. Instead of settling for a routine coffee, you step into Barley & Grapes Café and are welcomed by the aroma of freshly brewed craft beer and gourmet bites. Doesn’t that instantly feel like the start of your journey, rather than just a wait?
Why does it work so well?
And it’s not alone—At Manohar International Airport, Susegado Microbrewery turns the act of arriving into an experience worth savoring. As India’s first airport microbrewery, Susegado invites travelers into a 5,000-square-foot haven inspired by vintage Goan homes and the soulful charm of a jazz bar. From arched windows to handcrafted Azulejo tiles and ceramic murals by local artists, the space is a tribute to Goa’s rich heritage.
Susegado isn’t just a place to wait—it’s where waiting becomes an experience, it’s a mood. A place to sip, savor, and slow down. Whether you're unwinding solo or sharing stories with fellow travelers, it turns airport time into a celebration of leisure, craft, and connection.
So next time you travel, ask yourself: will you just wait at the gate, or will you let Barley & Grapes and perhaps a touch of Susegado make your journey taste better?
