Iconic Denver Deli Set to Open at DIA, Bringing a Slice of History to Travelers
For many Denverites, there’s nothing quite like the nostalgic taste of a classic deli sandwich or a fresh bagel. And now, travelers passing through Denver International Airport (DIA) will be able to experience the flavors of one of the Mile High City’s most beloved delis. The Bagel Deli, a Denver staple for over 50 years, is opening a second location at DIA, making it easier for locals and visitors alike to enjoy its legendary comfort food.
Bringing Over 50 Years of Flavor to DIA
The Bagel Deli and Restaurant, which has been serving Denver since 1967, has earned a reputation for its delicious bagels, sandwiches, and homemade comfort food. With its original location off Hampden and Monaco, the deli has been a favorite for generations of Coloradans. Now, with a new location at DIA, even more people from around the world will get the chance to taste a piece of Denver’s history.
The Bagel Deli’s appearance on Food Network’s “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives” has only added to its legendary status. The show’s host, Guy Fieri, has visited the deli not once, but three times, making it a recognized name for food lovers across the country.
A Taste of Denver with a Touch of Nostalgia
One of the most exciting aspects of the new DIA location is the hope that it will capture the unique atmosphere of the original Bagel Deli. Known for its “old diner” vibe, the Hampden location features both a deli and a restaurant side, where the walls practically tell stories of the past. While the new space at DIA might be more modern, there’s hope that it will still offer that same comforting ambiance that makes the original spot so beloved.
Opening Soon at DIA
Announced in 2022, the opening of the Bagel Deli at Denver International Airport is highly anticipated. If all goes as planned, the new location is expected to open in 2025. For anyone flying in or out of DIA, this will be a welcome treat, offering travelers the chance to grab a taste of Denver’s culinary history before taking off.
