Date set for opening of Wetherspoon pub at Alicante Airport
A chance for a pint and a feeling of home for UK passengers at Alicante Airport as Wetherspoon confirms opening of its first European pub
It’s official: Wetherspoon will be opening its first pub abroad in continental Europe, which will be at Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernandez Airport in Spain, and the finalised opening date for this new arrival at Alicante Airport has now been revealed.
The pub, which will be named Castell de Santa Bàrbera after the local Alicante landmark of the Santa Barbara Castle, will be located in the airport’s departures area, airside, so that flyers can grab a pint before their gate is called.
While initial reports suggested the pub might be open by the end of January, Alicante Today was able to get confirmation from Wetherspoon that the new-build pub, which will be open seven days a week from 6am to 9pm, is scheduled to open on Monday February 9, 2026 at 11am.
“It will offer almost 1,000 square foot of customer space on one level, together with an external terrace with customer seating,” according to Wetherspoon. “Food will be served at all times up to an hour before closing,” so up until 8pm.
The planned menu is slated include many meals available in Wetherspoon pubs in the UK, including breakfast dishes, burgers and pizzas, plus a few surprise twists with the addition of local Spanish dishes such as garlic prawns (gambas al ajillo) and Spanish omelette (tortilla de patatas).
Wetherspoon founder and chairman Tim Martin said, “We are very much looking forward to opening our first pub in Spain. We believe it will be popular with a wide range of customers, including those travelling home to the UK and those using the terminal for other destinations.
“We aim to open a number of pubs overseas in the coming months and years, including those at airports.”
Cheers to that!
