ST. LOUIS, MO, October 14, 2026 – … Three Kings Public House was named the 2026 USA Today’s Reader’s Choice for Best Airport Bar. Three Kings is located in STL’s Terminal 2 just past Gate E33. It’s the perfect location for those using Gate E29 to grab a bite before catching their international flight to Frankfurt or London. It’s also a great place to pick up a sandwich to go before boarding a Southwest flight.

This is the location’s second win in this category  since being named Best Airport Bar in 2023. Over the past seven years, Three Kings has been listed in the top five, five times (2019, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026). The USA Today’s Readers’ Choice Award winner is selected using an online survey. USA Today states that the original nominations were carefully curated by a panel of subject matter experts and USA TODAY 10BEST editors before the public vote began.
