The Blinded Tiger

Terminal 8•The Great Hall•Post-Security

Hours

9:00 AM - 10:00 PM

T8's very own speakeasy bar is a nod to New York's best hidden bars of the Roaring Twenties, and a first for JFK.

Finding it

The Blinded Tiger is in The Great Hall in Terminal 8 at John F. Kennedy International Airport. It is airside, past the security checkpoint, so allow for the queue before you count on it.

Level
3

Terminal 8 has 49 places to eat and 50 shops in this directory; the earliest opens at 12am.

Hours against the security queue

The Blinded Tiger opens at 9am and closes at 10pm. FlyIndex's wait-time data puts the typical JFK checkpoint queue at 24 minutes around 9am.

Across the week, JFK security runs longest around 8am at a median of 33 minutes, and lightest around 2am at 10 minutes. The queue is typically building before this location opens.

Queue figures are medians from FlyIndex's JFK wait-time record, not a live reading.

Other options in Terminal 8
