Where to find the holiday pop-up bar at Denver International Airport

DENVER (KDVR) — Holiday and Christmas-themed bars are starting to pop up around the Mile High City for the season.

For the first time ever, the Denver International Airport also has a holiday pop-up bar this season.

Throughout the year, Lounge 5280 serves as a bar and restaurant at the airport. But for the holiday season, the lounge will transform into Santa's Layover Lounge.

Santa's Layover Lounge will be a festive place for travelers to sit down and refresh with a meal and a drink. The pop-up bar is decorated floor-to-ceiling and has special holiday-inspired food and drink menus.

The airport said the pop-up bar will also have a hot chocolate bar and surprise appearances from holiday characters throughout the season.

Lounge 5280, aka Santa's Layover Lounge, is located on Concourse B in the mezzanine on level 3.

The pop-up bar is open from Tuesday, Nov. 19 to Saturday, Jan. 25, 2025, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
