Behind the Books at Denver International Airport's Speakeasy

"This airport outpost recreates a bookstore-speakeasy experience near Terminal A gate 38, where guests enter through a book-fronted fake door into a cozy bar with views of aircraft and a “take one, leave one” shelf of books. Operated by Mission Yogurt, it closely follows the Highlands original in both hospitality and menu, offering deviled eggs, frog legs, bone marrow and an acclaimed burger with crispy fries dressed with aioli and a malt vinegar gastrique. Breakfast and brunch choices run from Hawaiian bread French toast topped with coconut, pineapple and hot honey to a range of breakfast sandwiches (vegan to bodega-style chopped cheese), plus Colorado staples like a green chili–smothered burrito and cotija-topped chilaquiles. Cocktails (and breakfast booze) are a highlight — guests can order classics like Bloody Marys or Espresso Martinis, or indulge in award-winning specialty drinks such as the Blackberry Sage Smash (made with Woody Creek Rye) and the Great White Buffalo (Zubrowska Bison Grass Vodka, Licor 43, grapefruit, lemon, Chinese five spice) — while nonalcoholic “temperance” riffs like the My Bitter Clementine (Earl Grey, clementine shrub, Giffard Aperitif, lemon) offer creative alcohol-free options. Proprietor Sean Kenyon’s third-generation bartending pedigree and a focus on consoling, attentive service anchor the airport experience." - Cynthia Barnes

We liked it! Been to original W&G a while ago, and found the airport one a cool spot to hide and forget about the upcoming travel. We were happy with pesto pasta and a burger. The latter felt like fast food but in a good way - how fast foods should actually taste - nothing fancy, lots of cheese, just good! Since I am gluten free, they adjusted my fries to avoid malt and gave me an Udi bun which was much better than the Udi I usually buy... (research to be done!). Good drink.

I had the best experience at Williams and Graham at the Denver Airport! I’m a Denver local and have been lucky enough to go to the original location; I’m happy to say that the drinks, service, and atmosphere are just as amazing here as the original! My bartender, Erik, was a joy. He was incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to cocktails and gave me great recommendations. I enjoyed deviled eggs and a DELICIOUS spinach strawberry goat cheese salad. My flight was delayed, so I spent a good amount of time here… and all if it was wonderful. Almost forgot I was at the airport! I can’t wait to come back soon and try more drinks and food and visit Erik!

Words don’t describe how awesome of an oasis and hidden gem Williams and Graham is for a weary traveler. If you want a proper journey to satisfying your taste buds and libation interests, sit at the bar and Eric will be your guide and he will take you where you need to go and leave you satisfied and ready to return for more. Can’t say how much I appreciate the stellar service of all of the staff here including Eric and I’m proud to make this my oasis anytime I pass through Denver international airport. Also r he frog legs are out of this world trust me! You won’t want to order just one order 🐸🥃

Currently sat in the bar now enjoying the fabulous service from our lovely waiter Joe. Nothing is too much for him. The music is fab and has us singing along. We shared a burger and they cut it for us before it even arrived which was a thoughtful touch. The cocktail was lovely and fresh too!

Pricey but worth it! This is a cute and fun idea for an airport. Let’s be real, anything in the Denver airport is going to be overcrowded and you’re gonna get mediocre (at best) service and food. But Williams and Graham is a little hideaway with great vibes, and such good cocktails. Everything for the drinks is made fresh. My bartenders name was Passion and she was truly incredible. Great service provides so much value. I had the deviled eggs and a Pisco sour. Both were great options. I’ll definitely be back!

Cute speakeasy in terminal A! We split the burger and deviled eggs and both were excellent! The malt flavor on the vinegar was delicious. The deviled eggs had bacon and green chili on top that added a little something extra. Service was friendly and attentive and helpful when suggesting cocktails from the bar. My only recommendation would be to start stocking Diet Coke for travelers who don’t want to drink!

Hear me out... Denver Airport has to be top 10 in the US. There's a speakeasy in the Airport.... It opens up around 7am. You can get breakfast with a drink. Service was amazing and helpful. Food and drinks was fantastic.

What a fun spot to sneak away from the hustle and bustle of a busy airport for a relaxing vibe. Fun food choices, high-end cocktails, and comfortable seating. It's a small seating but you'll be seated when you arrive and place your name on the list. Check it out when you arrive early or have a long layover in DEN!

Please add a Yelp for the airport location as I had an incredible experience and want to highlight your wonderful staff. Firstly, I thought the restaurant was a bookstore, and it practically is, with a hidden door that opens the beautiful bar and restaurant. Here's the kicker tho, I sat down and asked for a glass of wine and Diet Coke. Bartender said no Diet Coke I said no problem. 2 min later one appears in front of me citing "I went down the terminal to get you some Diet Coke!" So thoughtful and sweet, meant a lot to me. Then I had the goat cheese salad and god damn it was good. I'm picky too, a hard salad critic; it was GOOOD. $13 for a glass of amazing Pinot too. Thanks for a great experience at DIA, this California girl will be back to hopefully review the airport Yelp for Williams & Graham

A friend had told me about this establishment, and luckily I had a trip planned a month later and was able to check it out. When I arrived, I was told there'd be a 45-minute wait--fortunately, that turned into just 10 minutes. Everyone I encountered was friendly and accommodating. I ordered an Old Fashioned, which was tasty, though a bit on the pricey side--but hey, it's the airport, so that's expected. I also tried the French onion soup, but I wasn't a fan. It had some sort of protein in it that tasted off and overly salty. I brought it to their attention, and while they did offer to replace it, the menu was so limited that there wasn't anything else I wanted. Surprisingly, they didn't comp it or offer anything to make up for it, which was disappointing. It's located next to gate A38 at DIA. As for the ambiance--it's marketed as a speakeasy, so I expected a 1920s Prohibition vibe. Instead, the staff was dressed in Hawaiian shirts. Ha! *** One plus: they do offer a military discount, which is always appreciated.

The food here was amazing! Got the bone marrow and goat cheese salad and both were delicious. The drinks were okay; nothing to write home about but I'd come back solely for the food. A little on the pricey end but if you have some time to kill before your next flight, this is the way to go! They also limit the number of people inside; unlike other restaurants in the airport so it's definitely a more relaxing enjoyable setting

Avoid William & Graham Bar - Denver Airport During a layover at Denver Airport, I stopped into William & Graham Bar. I was seated at a table for roughly two hours, ordered two cocktails in total, and had already shown my ID to my original server. Before my flight, I ordered my last drink and moved to the bar to charge my phone and finish it. The bartender asked for my ID again. I explained that I had already been served and that my ID had been checked by the waitress who had just taken my order. Instead of verifying with her, he refused to give me the drink and placed it further down the bar. I retrieved the drink, set it in front of me without taking a sip, and it was immediately taken away again. I decided to leave rather than stay in an uncomfortable situation. While I was in line elsewhere to get food, the manager came out into the terminal, loudly accusing me of being "an irate traveler" and "causing a scene"--even though I had done nothing disruptive. Multiple bystanders were visibly uncomfortable with his behavior and pointed out that he was the one yelling. As his aggression escalated, I began recording for my own safety. He then physically took my phone from me and tried to turn it away from his direction. This level of hostility, lack of professionalism, and complete disregard for customer service is unacceptable--especially in a busy airport environment. I did not steal or consume the withheld drink, yet I was publicly confronted, yelled at, and physically handled by staff. This was an unnecessary, unprovoked incident that left me shocked. If you're traveling through Denver Airport, I strongly recommend avoiding William & Graham Bar. Their handling of customers is not only unprofessional but, in my case, crossed the line into outright harassment.

Hell yes, best find in an airport in a while. Outpost of a popular downtown cocktail spot, great vibe hidden behind some book shelves. Zina, our server, was fantastic and made a mean cocktail. Burger and breakfast sandwich were killer too

Very disappointed in this spot today. Been in numerous times as I fly every week. Told I had to wait 5 mins, not a big deal, upon check in. Wait the 5 mins, manager comes out and says there is no space for 1. No "come back in 10min" or "one hour". My buddy who was inside sends me the picture of the half empty bar. Plenty of other options. Adios W+G.

Super long line to get inside at 4:30pm on a Tuesday. Disappointed. I was unable to wait so I didn't get to try anything.

The food here was great! We had the green chili gnocchi, fried Brussels sprouts and Mac and cheese. Our server Erik was amazing as well. Cocktails were great too. Very reasonably priced for airport food.

Service. Check in process lacks organization. Checked in and waited. Three groups that came after were let in before. When brought to persons attention they brought us in and gave us a stand up bar. Really. Then put drink order in. Waited few minutes then put food order in. Food came out still no drink. Finally half way into food drink came. Waitress was very pleasant and apologized.

Service was fantastic, the atmosphere is fun and makes you feel secluded from any part of the airport. From the management team, to the bartenders, servers, and hosts, and even the kitchen, they were all very professional and attentive. If you are looking for a great drink, fantastic food, and exceptional customer service from Jason, Megan, Rob, and their staff, this is your place to go!
