    I visited the airport location before a flight. I enjoyed the ambiance and the Espresso Martini. I had the Aloha French Toast. It was just "okay." I should have asked for the coconut flakes to be removed and maybe that would've helped for me. My friend had the chopped cheese. I tried it also and it too was just "okay. It could've used more flavor and cheese. I would return to try other drinks.

    Deviled eggs

    Super cute speakeasy feel. The restaurant and bar are hidden behind a book store facade. They are know for their drink menu but the food's great too! We had deviled eggs and two different salads -- all were excellent! Service is top notch. When you're hanging out at DIA in Terminal A give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

    The aviation

    Williams and Graham is a super unique place; it's a small speakeasy within the Denver airport located just around gate A38. There is usually a wait list; when I came in September I waited about 30 minutes so if you have a short layover or something I don't think you should bother trying to come. But that said, the inside is a fairly nice bar, and the bartenders are really nice! I like the library theme a lot. The hostess stand is actually right in front of a wall of books which is a take-one-leave-one set up if you choose to. The wall of books is the door, they open it for you when it's your turn to be seated. The menu isn't crazy extensive by any means but they do have a lot of classic cocktails and some unique ones. The day I came I had an Aviation which is one of my favorite classics and it was very lovely. The vibe of being able to sit and have a drink and rest a bit while watching the planes and folks outside the one way window is really unique. :)

    Our flight was delayed so it was the perfect opportunity to try Williams & Graham. We didn't have to say a code word to gain entrance... it was a cute speakeasy outside an inside. They asked our flight departure time to ensure we made it (so appreciated). We shared the breakfast burrito and it was tasty! We opted for our favorite drinks instead of the house specialties and enjoyed our spicy marg and gin and tonic. Service was friendly and speedy. If we have the time we will definitely stop by again when at the airport!

    I read about this place in an article about fun things to do in Denver. I've made multiple stops by the wait was always too long. Well, what do you know...it's not busy at 10AM. This was a fun experience. Drinks are interesting. Didn't get to try any food because they were switching to the lunch menu. During my visit, it wasn't too busy but there was only one person working. She was hustling but still took the time to chat and make recommendations on other things to do in Denver. Definitely chat with them if you're looking for other fun bars in town. Saw some people working so if you just need a quiet spot to get some stuff done, this would be it.

    Finally had the chance to check out Williams & Graham Speakeasy during a six-hour layover at Denver International Airport after some flight delays and cancellations. A coworker had told me about it, so a few of us decided it was the perfect time to find the hidden speakeasy. After saying the secret words -- "I'd like to read a book" we were q welcomed into this awesome little spot after a 10 min wait. The atmosphere is rustic and authentic to the speakeasy vibe, and surprisingly quiet compared to the busy terminal outside. The drinks were excellent. We had a couple Old Fashioned, perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. The aioli fries were a great snack while we waited out our layover and enjoyed our drinks. Joe, our server, was fantastic! Attentive when needed but never intrusive. If you have a couple hours to spare at DEN, this hidden gem is absolutely worth checking out. We'll definitely be back... might even start planning longer layovers in Denver just to stop in again.

    Never thought I'd find a speakeasy at an airport, but here we are. As a book-lover and speakeasy enthusiast, Williams & Graham caught my eye as I explored Concourse A at Denver Airport. I was told it was a 10 min wait, but it was much shorter than that. Promptly seated at the bar. Brad is an awesome bartender, and I had a good convo with him. Was very pleased that absinthe is served here, so I ordered that. Apparently I'm the first one to ask for it neat! Good music was played, contributing to the ambiance. It was a nostalgic mix of early 2000s radio-friendly rock, including "When we were Young" by The Killers, "All Star" by Smashmouth (yes, the Shrek song), and "She's So High" by Tal Bachman. This reinforces Denver Airport as one of my favorite U.S. airports.

    Hands down the best spot I've ever visited in an airport. Speakeasy hidden behind a bookshelf / bookstore. Great, fast, and friendly service, short wait time (~15 minutes during dinner time), and great drinks and food. FOOD: Brussel Sprouts (7/10): Cooked really well, but a little bit too much fish sauce making it a bit too salty. Burger (8/10): Well cooked burger and fries - great meal! Old Fashioned: Makes a solid one here!

    love books? love cocktails? don't skip this hidden speakeasy that's disguised as a bookstore. such a unique idea that just spices up your airport departure or arrival. relaxed vibes, jammin tunes, and delicious drinks. known for their blackberry smash sage but I am all for the espresso martini.

    Chorizo Hoagie and "The Auston"
    Auston P.

    Airport travelers -- STOP AND READ THIS! If you're flying through here, do yourself a favor and find Sam G and Travis. Hands down the best bartenders in the entire airport. Honestly? Sam G might be the best in the whole city. He asked what I liked, crafted a custom drink on the spot, and it was unreal -- truly one-of-a-kind. Then he asked my name and decided to call it "The Auston." I'm 40 years old and this is the first drink ever named after me... bucket-list moment unlocked. Food: I ordered the Chorizo Breakfast Hoagie and it was insanely delicious. Loaded with flavor, slight toast to the bread, perfectly balanced, and destined to knock me right out on this flight in the best way. Atmosphere: Come on... it's a speakeasy in the airport. What more do you need? Skip the other spots. I'll walk terminals on terminals just to come back here. Absolute gem.

    I felt so at home in this cozy, calm bar. I was fully expecting a long wait due to the hectic holiday travel weekend, but wandering by, I could only see a handful of people waiting. I put my name down, and was called in within 15 minutes. From the hostess to the staff person who walked me to my seat, to Erik tending the bar, the staff truly made the experience feel like I wasn't 8 hours into a travel day. They were personable, friendly, and it felt like they cared that you were enjoying yourself. They were conscientious of my time, and even confirmed when my boarding time and how far my gate was. There was even an area to tuck your bags so they weren't tripping hazards. I stopped myself at one cocktail (Spanish Revival, chefs kiss - so refreshing, citrusy, aromatic, and utterly unexpected at an airport, though expect airport prices) and one dish (Big Sauce Green Chili Gnocchi - flavorful, gnocchi were deliciously chewy, and I would've been happy with the chili in a bowl all on its own). The dishes around me also looked really well done; you probably can't make a bad choice at Williams & Graham. I hope my luck holds out and I can find myself back here soon.

    When I told my daughter that I was going to attend the National Safety Congress tradeshow in Denver, she sent me a reel / IG story about a speakeasy in the Denver International Airport. I must have watched it a couple of times to make sure I knew how to get there and was planning to visit upon flying back home. I had a great visit to Denver, finally attended the NSC, and we got to DEN early, but the guys wanted to go to the Amex lounge. - Boo and way overpriced, especially as I was a guest, and it cost $50 for me to sit there. When the fellas noticed that they had to get going, I replied, " Why? Our flight isn't until later", to which they said, " You're not on the same flight with us to Seattle?" I played the role and said that I must have made a mistake in booking my return flight, all the while knowing that I had just enough time to book it from Terminal C, take the train to Terminal A, and hustle my way to Gate 38. I said goodbye to the fellas and started my journey to Williams & Graham. I found the bookstore with a very nice young woman situated behind an enormous cash register from days long past. I patiently waited until she was done talking to a guest on the phone, and she took my name down, and I was hopeful that she was going to press a couple of the big buttons on the cashier for some magical moment, but that did not happen. I sat in one of those horrible airport chairs and waited for my name to be called. About 10 minutes later, she called my name, asked what book I wanted to read, and before I got the chance to reply, she pulled one book and opened the door to the bar space. So cool. It was private, had nice lighting, and a friendly atmosphere. What I really liked was the dedicated space for luggage and bags. One thing I really dislike about having a drink at a bar, pub, or restaurant is the lack of bag storage. Not an issue here. Bobby was very friendly and professional. I was torn between two drinks and was recommended to have the Spanish Revival. That was an excellent recommendation, so much so that the young woman to my left saw me leave my body in a moment of bliss when I tasted it that she ordered one for herself. There were some interesting items on the menu, but the All-Day Breakfast caught my eye, and when I read vegan breakfast sandwich, the ticket was punched and I was all-in. I enjoyed the Spanish Revival and my vegan breakfast sandwich, and quite honestly, the entire Williams & Graham experience was 10/10 off the charts good. It was a fitting end to a work trip and worth every penny. Not sure when I will connect through Denver next, but when I do, I will factor in some additional layover time for a Williams & Graham visit.

    Speak easy in airport. I came when they had a 45 minute waiting list which turned out to be no more than 10 minutes

    I have a weakness for a great whiskey bar. My wallet knows it. My liver knows it. My wife…read moredefinitely knows it. Sometimes I show up hunting for rare pours. Other times I'm just in the mood for a cocktail that reminds me why I don't waste my time at places that think whiskey and cola is "craft." This visit was all about the cocktails, and Seven Grand absolutely delivered. Josh, our bartender, was running the room like a conductor leading an orchestra of happy whiskey drinkers. He asked what we liked, made a couple of recommendations for Old Fashioneds based on our preferences, and absolutely nailed it. Every drink was balanced, flavorful, and dangerously easy to sip. The guy knows his whiskey, knows his cocktails, and somehow still manages to make everyone at the bar feel like they're his only customer. The whiskey selection is enough to make a bourbon nerd lose all sense of financial responsibility, but surprisingly, we escaped without needing to refinance the house. If Josh doesn't own Seven Grand, someone should probably look into fixing that. Until then, I'll keep showing up to "try just one drink"... knowing full well that's a lie I tell myself every single time. Highly recommend. Just don't blame me when two hours mysteriously disappear.

    7 years since I've last been here and its still the same. Yes a couple of the stuffed animals have…read morebeen moved around. But the service and the drinks are still top notch. They've gotten do much busier though. There must've been over 30 people at the bar getting drinks. But the 4 bartenders at the bar were slinging them out quickly. Even though they were fast the drinks were extremely well made and the customer service wad amazing. The ambiance was great!! Everyone was here to have a good time. But no one was overly rowdy or raucous. People were friendly and conversational but stayed in their lanes also. Even though all these years have passed. And the pandemic has ravaged many businesses. The quality and service here still makes this place one of the best whiskey bars around!!!
