About this location
Van Wyck Bar & Grill opens at 5 a.m. at Gate B38, the same start as Gotham Speakeasy two gates down at B36, and both close together at 10 p.m. Hudson: 149th & Grand at B39 runs two hours later, until midnight, and Minute Suites at that same gate never closes at all. Pub food, burgers and beer set it apart from the newsstand and the day-rate suites nearby, the only sit-down bar-and-grill on this stretch of B gates. It's the only Van Wyck Bar & Grill in the terminal, with no second location to weigh its hours against.
