"Flying internationally in the winter can be difficult - crowded airports sometimes turn into a no-man's land of grumpy travelers, downcast due to bad weather and flight delays. But I know one thing can make that trip more bearable: a cocktail. Especially when it's in a themed bar. During a recent 16-hour journey from the UK to the US, I decided to visit a speakeasy called Williams & Graham during my layover at the Denver International Airport."
"The entrance to Williams & Graham, located near Gate A38, is disguised by a curved bookshelf. An observant passerby would notice clues - like the hostess with a bright smile standing next to a red velvet rope - that this wasn't any old bookcase. There was also prominent Williams & Graham signage. When I walked up to the hostess, I was told the wait would be about 15 to 20 minutes."
Winter international travel can leave airports feeling bleak, and a cocktail can improve the experience. A traveler on a 16-hour trip from the UK visited Williams & Graham during a layover at Denver International Airport. The speakeasy sits near Gate A38 behind a curved bookshelf, guided by a smiling hostess and visible signage. Wait times rose from the initial estimate to about 25 minutes before the bookshelf opened into the bar. The space was dim and larger than expected, with a fully stocked bar, solo-friendly seating, an $18 cocktail list of classics and house drinks, and several food options.
