Airport dining can be hit or miss -- from plastic-wrapped sandwiches and pricey trail mix to miniaturized chain eateries. But at Denver International, we stumbled upon a solid option: Coors Silver Bullet. It's a full-service sports bar offering a full menu across breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and it made for a surprisingly satisfying meal before our flight to Charlotte.
We found it in Concourse C near Gate 29.
Their bar choices make it easy for weary travelers to drown their late or cancelled flight sorrows with ten local craft beers, a dozen draft beers, seven wines, and nine house cocktails.
Breakfast food is available from 7:00 to 10:30 am. After that, the sports bar food takes center stage with wings, nachos, tenders, quesadillas, burgers, chili and sandwiches.
We went with a Ham and Cheese Club with fries ($19) and a bowl of Bison Chili ($10). My wife's Club was "Triple decker, ham, cheddar, bacon, lettuce, tomato, on toasted sourdough bread". Honestly, it was skimpy on the ham for a $19 price, but the fries were plentiful and excellent.
When I ordered the chili, our server (Frankie) said, "I want you to know that chili is pretty spicy, is that OK?" I assured him that was fine with me. I also have to say that he was spot on, that chili was pretty spicy and pretty much perfect for me. It was loaded with meat and beans and was excellent.
My fountain drink was $3.29, and I've sure seen Cokes priced higher than that.
We sat at a table in the back by a window overlooking the airport runways and the table was big enough for me to open up my laptop and check my emails.
All in all, we had a very good experience at the Silver Bullet.
