Not many restaurant choices nearby either nor did I want to drive around after being on the road all day. Hard to believe we have some 1-star review cry babies here LOL. Julio was on the bar, service was excellent. Easily the best Turkey club sandwich I've had in recent memory. All fresh made to order and the bacon was cooked perfectly not tooth cracking like many are. Skipped the fries went side salad with balsamic. The dressing was excellent. Cool atmosphere in the lobby. Plenty of LEDs. Elevator ride up to your room. Glad I stopped in highly recommended for airport travelers.

From the moment we pulled into valet, I was immediately impressed by the property. 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.

All four empty tables were not cleaned so hostess went and fetched a dirty wet dish rag which she used to clean our table.

Will not return and will not recommend. Gross. This place is not managed correctly.

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!

My SO had the Angry Goat Burger, she said it was the best burger she has had in a long time! Beer was great, I had a Flat Tire. Both friends expressed how much they enjoyed their meals too.

Absolutely LOVED my smoker bacon, egg, and cheddar panini! Sourdough bread was fresh and toasted to perfection. High quality bacon (and a generous amount).

The chili dog was actually really good and was much better than i had expected as were the chili fries. The chicken tenders were per the norm so nothing really to rave about for them.

Honestly if you want some decent pool food this is a great option!

I tried drinks and food here several times during my stay and had a consistently good experience. The frozen cocktails are small but refreshing and melt quickly in the sun. The Hummus and Pita and Arapahoe Cobb Salad were fresh and well-balanced. The kids' burger and fries worked well for a lighter adult meal, the fries stay crispy thanks to a light batter. Asking for condiments upfront saved time. A solid option for poolside dining and drinks, especially when you don't want to leave your chair.

On my layover en route my Grilled Veggie Bowl was ok but sort of a wet mushfest. Not my favorite…read more They were skimpy with the vegetables - a few bell pepper strips and onion shreds served soaking wet and showing no evidence of having been "grilled" - and I really needed some crunch or something to break up the grandpa's oatmeal texture that was very one-note. More rice and less under-seasoned beans-pile would have helped. And the staff were not very nice. Multiple grumpy-pants. But then on my layover going home on the same trip a few days later inexplicably I came back and tried the Two Tamales with black beans, lettuce, pico, spicy red sauce, cheese and sour cream. Much better! The tamales were actually really good! Redemption! It was pretty easy to find a seat both times, so there was also that. Not much for ambiance but better than eating at the gate. The tamales definitely beat a stale prepackaged airport sandwich. The Grilled Veggie Bowl, not so much.
