SSP America has unveiled a new eatery at Bradley International Airport (BDL). Operated in partnership with Urban Lodge Brewing Co., Urban Lodge Taproom & Kitchen is an airport extension of the Manchester brewery, offering craft beers and casual pub fare.
“The arrival of Urban Lodge adds to the growing list of new dining options that help enhance the experience for passengers at Bradley International Airport,” said Michael W. Shea, executive director and CEO of the Connecticut Airport Authority. “It also underscores our commitment to creating a sense of place inside the terminal with local, recognizable brands that reflect our state and region.”
“We are thrilled to partner with SSP and bring the Urban Lodge experience to Bradley International Airport,” added Michael Gerrity, co-owner of Urban Lodge Brewing Co. “It’s an exciting time for the airport, and we’re proud to represent local craft beer and hospitality as part of the momentum and transformation happening here.”
“Urban Lodge is exactly the kind of brand that makes airport dining more memorable — local, welcoming, and full of personality,” added Kyle Phillips, vice president of concepts and development at SSP America. “It’s a concept built around gathering and genuine hospitality, and we’re proud to bring that spirit to Bradley International Airport. This opening reflects what matters most in a modern concessions program: a strong sense of place, broad traveler appeal, and an experience that feels rooted in the community it serves.”
