Our new favorite place to eat in Georgetown! It was so good I would drive from Denver to come back just to eat there!”

“We stopped in Georgetown on our drive back to Denver from a ski trip, and had a delicious lunch! The whole menu was great, the staff was warm and welcoming, and the vibe felt like a historic authentic saloon. They were also very accommodating to our picky Ichildren. We hope to be back soon!”

“Person working was watching their phone the whole time, I almost felt bad for interrupting them, but it was a decent late, nothing spectacular but not watery like some reviews mentioned, I would go again in I was in the area.

“We were up in the Georgetown/Idaho Springs area for the weekend. We were trying to waste time before dinner, so we started looking around the little shops. Ended up in here and saw they served coffee and tea. Ordered a couple of teas, and asked the guy working there for some suggestions on what to do to waste time. He told us to stop by Alpine Restaurant because they have some pool tables and arcade games, and also to go up Guanella Pass to Clear Lake. Neither of them disappointed! We decided to pop back in on our way home from our weekend getaway to get a couple more teas, hot chocolate, and an apple cider and to tel him thanks for his suggestions. My kids said their drinks were made with love. Thanks again!”

“We offer a nice variety of food and a pleasant sports bar environment, with good drinks and even brownie and Sunday options for dessert, stop in and enjoy!!! I especially recommend the bison blue burger or the Philly cheese steaks!!!”

“The two amazing workers on drive thru this morning & the barista on bar who made my beverage 10/06/2023 absolutely nailed my beverage. As a former barista of 13 years, it was outstanding & impressed how fast, accurate and friendly the service was. Thank you for setting me up right to do an enormous amount of payroll!”

“Excellent food.”

“Great dinner and excellent service from our waiter, Matt! He was attentive and great with our 10 yr old grandson! Loved the spinach salad with grilled salmon!”

“A great stop during a cold day on the slopes. Hours are unclear, but seems like 11a-2p on weekends and busy days. The chili is delicious. We tried the bison, vegan, and green chili. Canned beer available. There a warming hut and the main building, both can be pretty cramped but at least they’re warm. Restrooms are small but manageable.”

“It’s the best, it’s my fave .”

“This is the ski place. Food, drinks, sunny deck, and jerry watching. Old school, no cell service, never intends to be Aspen let's ensure it never so becomes. Straight skis, fogged lenses, messy hair, humble.”

“Cute little place. Waffles are amazing, just plain or with chocolate [though the chocolate one was just a plain waffle with chocolate sauce poured on top]. Staff were courteous and friendly.”

“For a mountain town hotel bar and restaurant, it's perfect! We watched the Superbowl here and the vibe was awesome! The Snowflake Martini and the Hazelnut Old Fashioned were perfectly crafted cocktails and we could not get enough of them. I've never had hazelnuts roasted in a drink before and it's fantastic! They also have a real ski you can do shots off of with a group of 4. This was also a unique experience. The food menu was pretty limited and they were out of some things, but overall what we did order was great! It's nice that we could have this option while staying at the resort and then walk back to the room. They also have darts and a pool table.”

“My friend and I sat at high-tops near bar and ordered burger and bloody mary at bar. Sat and soaked up vibes of a busy sunday lunchtime while enjoying my big, beautiful, and tasty Bloody Mary.Food came out after about 15 minutes and initially when the server came out and asked if the burgers he had were for us, I (in confusion) turned him away because I had forgot that I had ordered a burger. The bartender then checked to see why my burger hadn’t arrived yet, and he gave me a tender arm touch that showed me he cared and wanted to make sure I was comfortable, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I got my burger after a couple minutes and the world was at peace.We ate our burgers and drank our drinks and enjoyed them. My friend thought his Margarita was delish though for the price wish there was slightly less ice and more marg. I joined the clean plate club, but my friend couldn’t handle the tots and left them half finished. However, once we started skiing again I wished I had followed his lead because I was FULL and mega sleepy.Anyways, Club Car was good.Couple extra notes:- Hefty napkins for a manly man- Tot got lodged in friends throat while we were eating and messed up conversation, no blame to Club Car but worth mentioning”
