Review: United Club Fly– Denver (DEN), Concourse B (East)

by Adam Stuart | December 29, 2025 | 0 Comments

United’s Club Fly concept offers an onsite barista bar, food to go, and a place to check your emails and charge.

The summary

The lounge is near gate B60 on the east side of Denver International’s massive B concourse.  This is not a traditional lounge. It is a small place with an onsite barista bar, many food items to go, and a few desks/tables to check your emails, charge your phone, and drink your coffee. It is really designed for travelers with tight connections who do not have time to enjoy a more leisurely lounge visit. It perfectly complements the three large United Clubs in Denver.

This small lounge opens at 7 AM – later than the main lounges. Like all the newer clubs, entry is automated – scan your boarding pass.  There is no on-site customer service agent.

There are a few places to sit (all within reach of outlets), and the space sports a similar Alpine aesthetic like the other Denver clubs. Internet works very fast. Although there is no duration cap for lounge visits, this is not a lounge where guests are expected to spend a lot of time

The best feature is the onsite barista bar, where all sorts of caffeinated beverages can be specially made. There is also a self-serve coffee and espresso station.

The other nice feature is the large refrigerator with all sorts of food designed for guests to take with them on their next flight. Items include cereals, prepackaged muffins and chips. soft drinks, juices, yogurt, fresh fruit, salads and sandwiches of a varying variety  

This is a new concept for United. They added a Club Fly location in Houston. American has rolled out this concept in Charlotte. My usual rating does not make sense here. That said – if you are in a hurry, this is a great option.

The wrap

the details: Date: December 21, 2025. Access: United Club member.

….What I like: The barista bar, the nicely stocked refrigerator.

—What I don’t like: The later opening – especially as coffee drinks are a key feature of this space.
