Lefty’s Mile High Bar & Grill

Service– basically if you cannot be a server anywhere else, you can work here.
Ordered two Moscow Mules, their FEATURED DRINK, and was served two bastardizations of such. I’m only drinking this to deaden the smell in here. FYI– a Moscow Mule uses a FRESHLY OPENED ginger beer, not one from the last shift.
Good news, the kitchen smells like a urinal that someone took a crap in.
Don’t forget about the 10 or so other fine choices before walking into this crap hole.

I wish I had just kept on walking. My wife and I stopped here during a long layover hoping to have some decent food and a few adult beverages. When we first walked in I looked around trying to determine if we needed to be seated or could just seat ourselves. A waitress appeared and actually shooed me out of her way! I guess that answered my question: seat yourself because the waitstaff doesn’t like you standing around trying to figure their seating mores.
We finally grabbed our seat and a very hyper, friendly waiter waited on us. We ordered a beer and a margarita. The margarita was just gross. Don’t order it. I’m a bit of a marg snob but my wife likes anything that’s boozy and sweet. This tasted bad and wasn’t very boozy. She didn’t even finish it, which might be a first for her and margaritas.
We ordered an onion ring appetizer, a southwest burger, and chicken strips. Hard to screw up, right? Our food came before our appetizer. The southwest burger was lacking the chipotle aioli. I asked the server for some and he said the burger didn’t come with that on it. We I pointed it out on the menu he said, «Huh, I will let the kitchen know that.» Seriously, the kitchen AND the server didn’t know the ingredients! Also, the bacon was disgusting. Tough and chewy. I didn’t eat it all.
After reminding the waiter twice about the onion ring appetizer (later I saw the ticket said «make first!» twice under the onion rings) he brought them to us, halfway through our meal.
Do yourself a favor and try another of the dozens of restaurants in this airport. They can’t be much worse than this one.

This place was ok. By that I mean it’s just a place I would stop in to have a beer because you really can’t mess up a beer. Right? Anyway as soon as we sat down the waitress was prompt in coming up to greet us and serve us. She was also quick and up front to tell us that their fryer was broken and there was no fried food available. With that being said we were going to order something to pick at but quickly changed our minds.
Our waitress was kind of rude. The beer was not messed up thank god. I wish I had more to say but this place was meh.

If this were a fast casual restaurant, four stars. The food was good for lunch, decent beer choices, reasonable prices for an airport. I enjoyed my southwest fish salad. But Denver Airport has a lot of great choices, and this isn’t one.
The weirdest thing is being a full service restaurant while having food court style furniture and a self-​serve napkin/​plasticware/​condiment station from which the waitress pulled. And the food coming out on disposable plates.
Also, a ding for serving a good beer without bringing or offering a glass.
