Good wine, good food, good service. What more can I say? The servers were very friendly, even though I was in that travel haze and not as responsive as I usually am. Great selection of excellent wines. Enjoyed a tira misu and met some nice people.

The sever Eric is fantastic — such a sweetheart and made sure that myself and the other solo traveling ladies I was sitting next to were comfortable. Nice little spot, fast service, enjoyed a flight of Chardonnays and then got my favorite. A bit pricey per glass, but the wines are great selections, so it’s worth it. I eyed the food my neighbors got — pear and gorgonzola pizza, looked and smelled delicious. I will return next time I fly!

Thx Unilocalers took a detour from terminal c(sw air) to term b(united) since i had a bit more time to kill. They have a nice selection of wines by the glass, flights, great food options. I got the pear gorgonzola flat bread delish!!! Cup of tomato bisque. All delish and not expected from an «airport» restaurant. Each table has ac hook ups for charging your devices, nice ambiance, all great food choices(the meat/cheese plates looked amazing!) Worth venturing to terminal b for a foodie detour!

I had one of the most fun hours of my life at this place the other day. Thanks to the lovely skills of bartender Erik, I sat down, met two incredibly strong and wonderful women, laughed with all I’ve got, and ate some amazing lamb. Thanks Erik, what a hoot.

I came to Cru with my girlfriend while we were on our 5-hour layover in the Denver airport. A great decision on our part! We are always looking for somewhere fun to go and were excited to see an airport have a place with such positive and consistent reviews! We came in with about 2 hours left on our layover and were seated immediately. The service from the staff was great the entire time we were there. They had a nice selection of wine flights as well as pizza and cheese plates. Flights were pretty cheap ESPECIALLY for an airport! I’d recommend this place bigtime if you’re looking to not have something greasy in your stomach for a flight or if you want to have a bit of wine before you hop on a plane. Next time i’m back in Denver I am 100% stopping back by!

The Colorado red flight was delicious. I met great people here. Wonderful place to spend your time at an airport.

Great food, great service. Prompt, clean, efficient, no non-sense. Had the charcuterie platter, sesame tuna, and crab cake. All were excellent except crab cake. It was only B+, which isn’t too bad. Would and will return again. Pleasant staff. Great experience.

I travel a lot and this is hands down the best airport bar I have been to. It is truly a wine bar that just happens to be located in the airport. Staff was prompt, knowledgeable and really on top of their game. I had one of the charcuterie boards and it was really good. Large serving size for only $ 16. Flatbreads looked really good to

Eric was wonderful and could not have been more attentive. The wine selection was good. Had the American cheese plate, very good! If you get the margarita pizza add the prosciutto ham. Yummmmmm

Excellent cheese plate. Good wine. Really good pizza. The food here is unlike most airport restaurants. It’s good. You can have a full meal of sandwiches, pasta or classic entres, or you can do what we did and graze til your heart’s content. That’s all good, but the real reason to go to Cru is for the bartender. Once you’ve met Eric(John’s middle name), you’ve met everyone at the bar. From there it’s just an ever changing party until you have to board your plane. Check it out!

Great food and service, but the prices are fine dining, without the finesse of a fine restaurant. They have a decent wine menu. I prefer Cru to the fast food dining in the airport, so I’m willing to pay the price. Make sure to ask questions about ingredients and preparation, or you may be disappointed. Their cheese boards are a very good(and safe) option. The staff are surprisingly knowledge about food and wind paring.

Great bartender, good company and fabulous wines. Perfect place for a hangout during a layover. Will definitely be back when I transit through Denver!

Disgusting salmon salad. The salmon was overcooked. Worse yet, it was microwaved and tasted like leftovers you drag out of the fridge. The chunk of avocado sat next to a sad salad. All this for $ 18? Garbage.

Perfect spot for cheese & wine and you do not feel you are in an airport. Atmosphere is ideal to decompress while traveling. Portions are satisfying. Recommend the grilled cheese & tomato soup.

Beautiful higher end wine bar with delicious selection of cheeses and tapas style meals. Outlets at every bar(very nice bars and comfortable seating, btw). I will definitely be back.

This was a quick spot to eat at the airport in Denver. I liked my husbands pear and brie pizza a lot more than my prosciutto and arugula pizza. My pizza’s cheese wasn’t melted at all. Even though it wasn’t melted the taste and quality of the food was good, I just wished it had be cooked. I didn’t have time to send the item back to be heated. I would go back to try this place again. The atmosphere was really nice for an airport too.

I stopped here before my flight. I ordered the caprese salad and the margharita pizza as well as 2 glasses of wine. I sat at the bar. Service was good. The tomatoes on the salad were not as ripe as I like, I had to ask for balsamic dressing as the salad seemed to be missing something. The pizza was a little dry and I did not finish it which is unusual for me when it comes to pizza. The wine was good. A little pricey as I almost spent my meal allowance for a whole day here on one meal.

Best airport spot I’ve ever been to! Wine flights are spot on. You get to try 3 for less than the price of most glasses. I believe the flight we tried was and ‘old world’ type that had a dry french, nice albarino and something else, maybe a pinot grigio, I can’t remember. All very good and they fit well together in the flight. I had the prosciutto flatbread pizza, while my friend got the classic margharita. Mine was delicious but rather hard to cut and eat especially since there was no sauce to sort of bind it to the crust. Our server, Robert, was friendly and helpful, knew all of the answers to our questions. It wasn’t a cheap airport meal(especially considering my single glass cost $ 13 or $ 14 compared to the $ 12 flight) but it’s worth it if you have the time to enjoy it. I did– 8 hour layover. woohoo!

Extra star for being a good restaurant with a good wine list in an airport. Had the pear with gorgonzola cheese pizza … my favorite … grilled cheese and tomato and basil soup as well as lamb lollipops … tie for 2nd. I had a local pilsner.. Yella … recommend it. Was in a can. Wish it had been available on tap. Jessie(so far) has had 2 glasses of Alexander Valley chardonnay … well-priced at $ 11. I connect thru DEN a few times/year. This is now my go-to dining spot in DEN

Great place to get some food and wine if you are at Denver Airport. We stopped by here and grabbed a flight of wine and some tuna tartare and pizza. Perfect place… since airport food usually sucks. Oh apparently avoid Que Bueno across from Cru since someone in our party ate there and got food poisoning.

The lamb sticks with goat cheese balsamic and mint was finger licking delicious. Their wine flights are also amazing! This place has an amazing ambiance which tends to create high expectations but it definitely exceeds expectations! Get the tomato basil soup! I loved it even though I don’t normally like tomatoes!

Came in today and had Beatrice as my bartender. I wanted a full to medium bodied Italian. She suggested the Vietti«Tre Vigne» Barbera d’ Asti which was a medium bodied Italian. Perfect for what I was looking for. Sweet girl. From Missouri as well. I really took to her. Couldn’t ask for a better bartender. Would definitely stop back in when I’m in Denver.

This is probably my fourth or fifth time grabbing a meal and a glass of wine here en route to somewhere. The service is always great. Quick and willing to accommodate your timeline and make things right. The meat and cheese platters, pizzas and lamb lolly pops are delicious. The super friendly and knowledgeable bartender is great and very helpful with ordering both food and wine! Makes a long layover or getting stuck in Den far less painful than it could be.

Amazing service, food, and drink. The perfect place for me to grab a quick bite before a flight. I have been to the Cru in Park Meadows but didn’t really have any food. Here I followed the recommendations of my server and am so happy I did. Out of this world pizza(see pic), and I am not even a pizza person! I am also not a fan of eating in the airport, but going here was such a nice surprise and I plan on going back again!

Excellent service. Yes, airport pricey, but not airport skanky. You can get a flight of champagne for breakfast, as Cru’ opens at 8 a.m. I had a grilled cheese and cup of soup($ 12) with a glass of Chondon Rose’($ 12). Both were good for an 11 a.m. meal. I saw other small plates, that all appear to be perfect travel day portions. Again, the menu is pricey, but not nasty. The server was efficient and observant. In addition to wines by glass or bottle, beers are available. I was in this sweet lounge at 11 am and I saw a couple share a bottle of Prosecco. Don’t be shy; just do it!

Great place to eat while in the Denver International Airport. The wine was perfect(Franciscan Cab from Napa) and the caprese salad with pesto very nice(but add pepper and olive oil to give it a kick. The tour de force was the lamb lollipops with crispy prosciutto and goat cheese — wow!

Wow I am loving this place, as much as I dislike being stuck at the Denver airport. Which seems to happen a lot recently. I just discovered this little wine bar in concourse B. Near gate b58 it has an intimate low lit atmosphere with gentle music playing. I was greeted promptly and thrilled to see lots of cute little tables with tons of outlets for charging. The menu is so much more than I’d hoped to find in an airport with cheese plates, gourmet salads, stone fire pizzas, and even dessert. My server was amazingly friendly and completely aware of what I could have that was gluten free. He was so thoughtful and even had the kitchen put extra fruit on the plate since I couldn’t have the bread. While I didn’t talk to the bar tender I could hear how friendly she was and how many travel it’s both her and my server remembered. Oh the food. Fantastic. I had the caprese salad which was perfect. The American cheese platter with fresh honey, pears, apples, a blue, goat, and cheddar cheese was amazing. I enjoyed a napa Cabernet during my layover as well. Price definitely affordable for the quality, portions, and excellent service. Whoops! Almost forgot I was in an airport.
