Literally. I volunteered to accept a four hour layover in exchange for a travel voucher and the chance to get a beer and food at Denver international. And though I've said so before, I will continue to recommend Root Down in terminal C. Great food, great beer, slightly pricy, but it's an airport, and if you are going to spending a bit anyway, it may as well all be good.

Mmmmm... Salvation (Avery).

I grabbed a burger at Root Down last time I was there. I had Beastie Boys stuck in my head the whole time.

I eat at Root Down every time I visit. I'm visiting this week so I'll probably be there again. I love that pace.

Ill take anything over Philly or Newark. Oh and that time "sleeping" (passed out drunk) in LAX didn't leave a fond memory. DEN sure ain't bad. I have a coworker who is landing in about 20 minutes to drive up to Cheyenne. He is going to be in a world of hurt coming back tomorrow to the northeast.

$400. Plus a tiny fraction of my resulting bill for eating lunch here, but every bit helps. If I were traveling to ATL I would have got a much bigger voucher (LOL). I'm not in a hurry today, as long as I get there, I'll be fine.

It's really a great place, and I've never had to wait for a table or food. They can (when needed) get you in and out in like 15-20 minutes with quality food and beer. That place is amazing. I love them.

I had an Avery last week that I really loved.

Check my Untappd for it. It was a bomber

Their beer though! They really changed my opinion on airport dining.

With my normal travel route I'm getting stuck at either DEN, ORD, or SFO. DEN is ok for a couple hours but kind of sucks to sleep in. SFO is best for in-airport overnights (go to the international terminal, it's nice!). ORD is best for hotel overnights because they have the on-premises Hilton and they hold rooms for frequent travelers when there's big weather messes on the east coast.

Yep. It was a factor in accepting the voucher offer. LOL.

yeah, would NOT want to crash here overnight (Almost did once), but for a a few hours? It's great.

I was stuck here back in May, and then again coming back at the end of that week. Ate / drank at Root Down both times. I'm a solid 3/3 so far. I may just start scheduling a layover here so that I can come by. =)

I've been there about 15-20 times in the past year. It's great when you don't have to spend your own money!

Absolutely . Though, If I come through when I'm not on business, I'll probably end up eating there as well.

Oh and to note, my fav there is The Reverend, Avery as well.

Yeah. It was a toss up between Rev and Salvation. Hadn't had Salvation in years, so I went with that.
