Sunset Loop Bar & Grill is named after the Sunset Loop trails, a series of hiking routes in White Ranch Park in Jefferson County. The restaurant's menu was crafted by renowned chef Daniel "Chef D" Young. Sunset Loop Bar & Grill offers a relaxed, contemporary atmosphere with sweeping views of the Rockies, making it the perfect place for travelers to unwind.

"This is a phenomenal day for DEN, and I am thrilled to be a part of it. It is truly a dream come true," Chef D said. "Denver has been my home for over four decades, and it's where I've had the honor to build restaurants, provide nutritional care for some of world's greatest athletes and witness firsthand the growth of Denver's incredible sustainable vendors. Now, I can bring my love for fresh, locally inspired food to the airport, and make a difference for my community and for thousands of travelers who use the concourse every day."

In addition to the restaurant, passengers will be able to enjoy Starbucks right next door. Travelers can experience a full range of handcrafted beverages, including seasonal favorites and classics to energize their journey. As the perfect pick-me-up, Starbucks is ready to serve up smiles and delicious brews for travelers on the go.
