Crú Food & Wine Bar

More than 300 wine labels by the glass at DEN

Crú Food & Wine Bar sits in Denver International Airport’s Jeppesen Terminal, pairing a long, wine-focused list with a compact food menu. You’re looking at over 300 wines available, with many offered by the glass, plus a handful of flights if you want to compare regions without committing to a full pour.

Expect typical airport pricing: glasses often land in the $12–$20 range, with bottles climbing quickly if you chase Napa or Burgundy. Food runs in the $12–$25 band for items like flatbreads and small plates that work for sharing alongside a couple of 5 oz pours. Check the by-the-glass section before asking for a bottle; at this location some labels only show up there.

The bar’s in the Jeppesen Terminal before you hit security, so this fits best if you’re early to DEN or meeting someone who hasn’t checked a bag yet. Build in at least 15–20 minutes after you leave Crú to get through standard TSA lines and walk to your concourse, especially if your flight departs from the far end of Concourse C.

Food skews wine-bar classic: cheese plates, charcuterie, and flatbreads built to match the wine list. Portions are on the lighter side for the price, so treat this as a glass-and-snack stop, not your only meal before a four-hour leg. If you care more about value than grape varieties, you’ll usually do better on calories-per-dollar at the concourse fast-casual spots.

Seats at the bar give you quicker access to staff for refills and tasting questions than the small number of two-tops scattered around. Final tip: if you’re tight on time, order a single glass from the by-the-glass section and skip flights; three-pour flights can take 10–15 minutes to arrive when the Jeppesen Terminal gets busy.
