Lounge 5280

Love this place. Went to the United Club and they were packed in like sardines there. Blew that off and went to Lounge 5280 Wine Bar. It is a little hidden on the upper level in concourse B but that is fine by me. Plenty of comfortable seating and quiet. it is cool to look at all the people below coming and going in this busy airport. they have my favorite Sav Blanc — Mahua. so much more peaceful than the loud, packed United Club.

The very well reviewed bloody mary is now in a smaller glass. But everything else has beeen fine, probably more expensive than before though.

This place is greAt if you like your meatballs petrified and your meals prepped days before and then microwaved to perfection.
Smoke and mirrors rip off. UHG

Always come here during my lay overs in Denver. EXCELLENT Bloody Mary’s…ask for habanero stuffed green olives… yum! The smoked salmon plate is quite tasty as well.
Docked one star because I have been once when the Bloody Mary was «off». Must have been a cruddy bartender that day.

Just had a fantastic experience at this full-​service 2^nd floor bar in the Denver Airport. (Great location for people watching while chilling with a drink … or two.)
Bartender was able to make us classic cocktails and delicious Bloody Marys (they have 6 different kinds to choose from, including spicy and dirty versions!) He went out of his way to tell us about the olives and locally pickled vegetables that came with the latter, which was delicious.
Exceptional service, good drinks, nice location. Will be back next time
we are passing through.

I had a beer and a prosciutto and egg salad sandwich while I was here on a layover. The sandwich was bizarre and the beer was beer. Service was great. I left my laptop charger there and the manager had it Fed Exed to me. So nice!

I came here based on reviews of awesomeness on Unilocal when I had a few hours to kill at the airport. It was pretty busy the whole time I was there, and the service could have been better.
I had a wine, a beer, and a sandwich. Everything was pretty good. I liked being able to plug in all my devices and have a comfy chair to read in while I was killing time. The service, though. It took a long time for someone to come over (as in, I had already read through the menu and decided on everything I was getting and put the menu down and still sat there and waited). Then it took a while for everything to come out. After my meal I still had some time so I asked about the beers on tap. The server said «Oh they’re all Colorado beers, what type of beer do you usually drink?» as if there was no way I would know any of the beers they had. I know that not everyone is into craft beer and probably the airport is a hard place to talk about them, but at least mentioning the names when someone specifically asks might be good… Anyway, I was just sort of put off by that, but I did end up with a good double IPA (although I don’t know who it’s from).

Love the moscato here anytime I’m in the airport for more than 30 minutes I come here!!! I keep forgetting what terminal its in, but it’s terminal B!!!

This would be the ultimate airport bar to get stranded at, I’d actually welcome it. Amazing menu, and beautiful ambiance, well lit, spacious and free wifi. Nice crowd also. Highly recommend it.

Great selection and pretty good craft mixed drink selection. Must try their Manhattan. They use a lot of local spirits and the bartenders are generally sociable and attentive.

This review begins with the seats. Nothing else. MAN looking, for a comfortable place to plant my butt. Nothing else Jim, nothing else… So… Nowhere in the airport can your rear end truly accommodate a long 7 hour layover like this place. I’m not talking about the trivial appetizers, or typical drinks, IT’S ALL ABOUT THE RED BEHIND CRADLING SEATS when you’re in 14 hours of flight time. I. Love. It.

In the B concourse:
Nice place to kill time during a layover. I had a 2.5 hour wait between flights and I was happy to find this spot. Free WiFi, outlet under the table to charge electronics, and a very nice drink menu. I give them credit, the custom drink menu had some very intriguing items, not just simple vodka sodas or G&T. Server was friendly and attentive.
While I didn’t eat, I was extremely happy to kill time here while at DIA.

Wish I would’ve stopped here before the Mexican joint downstairs. Great drinks, great service and plenty of seating so your not all crammed in a small space like the other bars in the airport.

Has long layover at DIA. Had the burrata — it was very good. You get sundries tomatoes. Recommend the rosemary bread.
They have outlets under the tables ! Nice.

Great cocktails! Open airy environment. Perfect respite from airport hustle. Also delicious beer. About to get the ahi tuna — photos to come.

Uh… don’t go there to eat. If you want to eat, go to Elway’s downstairs.
***** (5 Stars) — Amazing, zero flaws, a must go! (Not given often)
**** (4 Stars) — Memorable, strongly feel you should visit
*** (3 Stars) — Above average, worth a visit
** (2 Stars) — Average, some pro’s and some con’s
* (1 Star) — Opinion is do not go, below average

Was parked here for a good 4 hours when arriving to Denver, waiting for my friend to arrive on her flight (bad planning on our part). I had wanted a nice quiet place where I could sit, charge my phone, watch a world cup game, and get some food and drink. Lounge 5280 did not disappoint.
I sat down at a table with 2 chairs which had an outlet on the underside. Was greeted warmly by my waiter and given and iPad that I could peruse some of their food items, even though there is a menu booklet on the table. He suggested a Bloody Mary that was on the spicy side and suggested bleu cheese stuffed olives. I said sure, bring one of those suckers over! He came back with the drink AND a glass of water since he thought I would probably need to sip some of it. The drink was so… good. There was an asparagus stalk and green beans in the glass; a meal in and of itself. It was indeed spicy but not so bad that I needed the water. I sat there for a long time and was never bothered or pressured to order more drinks or food. I did end up having another drink and did order a cheese plate as well as some olives.
The cheese plate was a nice brie that came with some walnuts and some yummy bread in a separate cup. The olives were tasty as well, seasoned with I have no clue, but it gave it a nice flavor. However, I didn’t realize just how many olives I would get, and probably only ate half them — they’re sized to share.
After my 3.5 hour wait, relaxing here, my friend arrived and off I went. This is a great place to sit and chill if you need a nice quiet space to do so.

Totally chill spot at the Denver airport. An upscale hang that’s 2^nd Floor out of the way of traffic. It has great lighting, which means easy to read, easy to work, easy to work on laptop or ipads. Best yet, lite bites, great glasses of wine (a big menu), smashing cocktails, and many brews.
The service is really nice and friendly. The couple of times I went, 2 girls with an African accent were working. If that’s not cool, I don’t know what is.
I like. I really like.

For airport food, this place really isn’t bad. Definitely one of the better spots I’ve ever eaten in an airport. I ordered the bloody mary and the tuna tartare. Bloody mary wasn’t bad and they make their own salsa which is really impressive especially for an airport restaurant. Wasn’t amazing, but solid. A bit spicy too. The tuna? Not great. And I asked for the best thing on their menu so if that was their best, I don’t want to know what the worst is. And finally place is pretty damn pricy. I think it was $ 30 for the drink and tuna. That’s a grip.

I wanted to find the beer list of each place at the airport that extends beyond your airport classics.
They bring you an iPad with their menu which is pretty cool.
I selected the Avery IPA at $ 7 on tap.
