The atmosphere…read moreis beautiful, upscale, and welcoming, and you can tell right away that a lot of thought went into the design. The huge bar located in the middle of the entrance is definitely a centerpiece and creates such a great vibe. We sat around the bar and enjoyed the beautiful views and lively atmosphere. The service was excellent from start to finish. Everyone was prompt, friendly, and attentive without making us feel rushed. Our bartender was especially impressive. They were knowledgeable, professional, and made some great drink recommendations based on what we liked. You could tell there was real skill and experience behind the bar because my cocktail was absolutely delicious and perfectly made. This was the kind of place where you can sit back, enjoy a great drink, take in the surroundings, and simply enjoy the experience. Between the gorgeous property, impressive bar, beautiful views, delicious cocktails, and wonderful service, we had an amazing time. I would absolutely recommend Embers Lodge Bar and would gladly come back again. It was a memorable experience and easily deserving of five stars!

While staying at the Gaylord Rockies resort for a conference I recently attended, I enjoyed…read moreterrific cocktails at the Embers Lodge Bar, the main bar near most of the restaurants. Like most hotel bars, the drinks and food can be expensive, but the bartenders are on point with the cocktails. Their smoked old-fashioned drinks were good, the Negronis were very crushable, as was its bourbon cousin, the Boulevardier. The shrimp appetizer that my wife ordered was also very good, and a nice starter before we had dinner at the English Pub. It's a good spot to experience sunsets as you knock back a drink or two, or watch the night sky, so long as it's not overcast or raining. If you look closely towards the ceiling-length windows, you can see the Denver skyline in the distance in front of the Rockies that dominate the landscape from afar.

There was an indoor waterfall, insanely high buttresses, fireplaces, multiple restaurants, and yes, actual trees growing in the middle of the dining area. I had to remind myself I wasn't outside. We didn't have to wait to be seated, which was a great start. The dinner menu was a little limited, but I had a feeling it was going to be good. I ordered the bison meatloaf and wow... it practically melted in my mouth. The wine mushroom reduction brought everything together perfectly. The roasted cauliflower and Brussels sprouts had the best crunch, and the mashed potatoes were so creamy and delicate there were no leftovers. My dad ordered the roasted chicken and said it was incredibly moist and flavorful. My mom's bison burger was juicy, tender, and cooked perfectly. The double fried French fries absolutely stole the show though. Somehow they were extra crispy without being overdone. For dessert we shared the skillet cookie, and it was the perfect sweet, indulgent ending to the meal. After a full day of traveling, this was exactly what we needed. We finished the evening sitting outside by the fire with everyone relaxing around us, and it was the perfect way to kick off our trip. I'd happily come back for that meatloaf alone.

I can't say we really wanted to enjoy Copper Table, especially given the beautiful setting at the…read moreGaylord Rockies, the experience didn't live up to the surroundings--or the price. The ambiance is easily the highlight. The restaurant is attractive, comfortable, and feels like it should set the stage for a memorable meal. Unfortunately, once the food arrived, that expectation faded pretty quickly. Everything was simply underwhelming. Nothing was necessarily terrible, but at these prices, you expect dishes that feel thoughtful, flavorful, and worth remembering. Instead, we left wondering what exactly we were paying a premium for. The service didn't help. Our waiter was overbearing rather than attentive, and surprisingly wasn't very knowledgeable when we had questions about the menu. Good service should enhance a meal without dominating it, and unfortunately that balance was missing. Copper Table has the setting and atmosphere to be something special, but great ambiance can only carry a restaurant so far. For the prices being charged, both the food and service need to rise to the same level. Our experience simply didn't.

When the host seated me she asked if I minded sitting at the bar. I did not. But the initial seat was TIGHT! So, she quickly offered me another seat that allowed me to people watch! Who doesn't love people watching. I already knew I wanted a salad so I ordered the Cobb with crispy chicken. You also have the option of baked chicken and a few other options that I don't recall. OMG, it was very good with just the perfect amount of green goddess dressing. Bacon, avocado, tomatoes, figs.... YUM! The bartender was very accommodating and checked on me often, even though the bar was full with people passing time during their delayed flights. She was very pleasant. She recommended a local porter beer and it was tasty. Something like graham cracker porter. If I have a layover in Denver again, this is where I'll come!

I see you Denver Capital One Lounge!…read more Lounge is located in Concourse A near Gate A34 on the second level. Take the escalator to the upper level and you will be welcome by the nicest representatives. There are plenty of bar stool seats, tables and couches, including shower room and working room. I didn't have any issue finding a seat as staffs are non-stop clearing and cleaning tables. Capital One Lounge are known for their delicious food and Denver location did not disappoint. I love the mini individual servings and unique dishes. I was ravenous after my first leg flight. The pork bao was exactly what I needed. I also really enjoy the quinoa salad and California poke. The yuzu lemon beignet was such a surprise sweet treat. The bartender made an excellent cocktail, Hot Aspen with vodka, ginger, honey, cucumber and something else. It was the right amount of spicy (from the ginger) and sweetness. Lastly, don't sleep on the grab and go section. If you have a short connection or long second leg, grab the packaged sandwiches, salads, yogurts, cookies and nuts! Tip: If your flight depart from Concourse B, allow at least 20 min to walk and take the train. Denver Airport is massive!

I spent a few hours in this Cap 1 Lounge at DEN with my wife before our flight home. Not as…read moreimpressed with this location as the LAS one, but it's a lounge nonetheless. You can enter this lounge with a Cap 1 Venture X card or by paying a fee with your regular Venture card. Guests are an additional $45. Everything is complimentary once inside. The biggest downside of this lounge is the capacity. They pack this thing to the brim. So after waiting for nearly 2 hours to enter, even when you are inside, it feels crowded. Almost every seat was taken, and many travelers were taking up way more than their fair share of space, with their bags often taking up a seat of their own. Unfortunately, staff didn't seem to care about this and let travelers do whatever they wanted. It just didn't feel nearly as "luxury" as my visit to the LAS lounge. The good news is this didn't impact the rest of the experience. There was plenty of food, and it was all good. They kept everything very clean. The bathrooms are single-stall and very nice. The bar was efficient and had plenty of great alcoholic and NA options. On the way out, you can grab a warm cookie or the classic grab-and-go like sandwiches, small treats, etc. While this lounge is certainly better than hanging in the terminal, be wary of the crowds and long wait times, and know that the "luxury" experience you might be seeking won't be found at this location.

It was warmer toward the back by the windows and at the counter. I asked to be seated closer to the exit and had to wait for a seat to open up. Even though I eventually sat under a vent, there was no air coming from it. The food itself was much better! The chicken was moist and juicy, and I really liked the combination of flavors in my dish. The food also came out pretty quickly, which was nice when you're at the airport. The waitstaff was nice and kept my water filled, so the service was good overall. The biggest issue for me was definitely the temperature. On a hot day, the restaurant was just too warm to be comfortable.

My husband was very excited to visit this bar in Denver International Airport because they served a…read morespecific bourbon that he had been wanting to try: E.H. Taylor. He said it was some of the best bourbon he's had, so there you go. One of the things that I really like about this airport is that there are little bourbon bars (and wine bars, and beer bars) throughout the airport for people who just want to stop in and grab a drink. Traveling is stressful and stupid, so sometimes you need a drink to make things right again. It's good to know that you can find quality bourbon in DEN.

Blue Sky Bar will do in a pinch…read more.. My husband and I find ourselves traveling at the oddest of hours for our holiday vacations. Needless to say we have bellied up to Blue Sky Bar more than a handful of times. The PROs: ++ The bartender's have always bee both friendly and attentive. ++ They're open later than most other bars on the A Concourse at DIA. ++ Adjacent to Quinzos when you need some carbs to prep for your travel day. ++ Late nights in December they're pretty quiet. The CONs: -- There's no true food menu. So don't come too hungry, especially when you have a late flight. You'll be disappointed. -- Bar seating is cramped when you are there during the regular bustling travel seasons/times. Blue Sky Bar will do when you find yourself needing to take the edge off a layover at Denver International Airport. Just keep your expectations in check - and you'll be just fine. **PRO TIP: You can get your drinks to-go when that red-eye flight is cutting it a little to close for comfort. Cheers!
