SPAIN. The 2025 Airport Food and Beverage (FAB) + Hospitality Awards is now just three weeks away and as the countdown continues The Moodie Davitt Report proudly reveals the finalists in another popular category – FAB Airport Bar or Pub of the Year – Airport ≥20 million passengers.
This complements the previously announced FAB Airport Bar or Pub of the Year (≤20M passengers).
The 2025 Award winners will be revealed at the FAB 2025 Gala Dinner in Barcelona on 26 June.
There are 23 categories in this year’s FAB Awards, which attracted a record-breaking number of entries. There will also be additional special judges’ awards.
Commenting on the FAB Airport Bar or Pub of the Year – Airport ≥20 million passengers, The Moodie Davitt Report Chairman and Founder of the FAB Awards Martin Moodie said: “This year’s submissions provided a diverse array of bar and pub styles, some formulaic – but successfully so – while others were edgy and/or carefully tailored to a particular location.
“Once again the results are desperately tight with just a handful of points covering our finalists and the ultimate verdict the equal closest contest of this year’s FAB Awards.”
The balance of finalists will be announced this week.
