I said I wasn't going to cover Aerodrome licences anymore a few years ago, when employment meant that I had a compromised position in relation to nearly all of them in Dublin (in that I worked for their landlord); but I neither still work there, nor ever worked for the owners of Donegal Airport... so I'm covering this one. I'm running dangerously short of content after all.
This is the International airport in Ireland with the lowest passenger numbers, by some margin - 56k in 2025 compared to well over 400k at Kerry - and as such it isn't surprising that there is only a single bar, in the combined landside arrivals and departures area. This bar is also the cafe, and the shop - despite the reintroduction of duty free to the UK in recent years, the three or four flights a week to Glasgow don't justify having an airside shop.
However, as goes small alcohol selections in a mixed premises, there's more here than you might expect; but all in bottles or cans. This includes a large selection from the nearest brewery, Errigal at the Caisléain Óir Hotel in Annagry.
While sitting waiting for your flight to depart, you can also read the airports free magazine, which has more than a slight feeling of the now ended Aer Lingus Cara magazine to it; if Cara had only ever written its tourism articles about Donegal rather than worldwide Aer Lingus destinations that is!
