12 Best Cocktail Bars in Steamboat Springs

“What an incredible dinner and service. The food is such high quality matched only by the service and attention to detail in every aspect. I had the herb roasted chicken which was a generous portion, cooked beautifully with such amazing flavor and served with fresh squash, roasted potatoes in a savory sauce. Service was attentive, friendly and prompt. Truly one of the best dining experiences I have had in years.“

“Michael Ruby, the owner and head bartender for Yampa Valley Shakers, was absolutely FANTASTIC to work with for our wedding! Ruby went above and beyond to make our day go smoothly and our guests happy (including many of our guests who were visiting from the midwest...and know how to keep a bartender busy). He was incredible at keeping an open line of communication with us starting months before our wedding date. He also worked smoothly with our wedding coordinator, and showed up early the day of, to help prep and stage. More impressively, he was flexible with a lot of last minute changes made on our end and had creative solutions for how to keep a nice flow to the evening. He has the vast experience to whip up (or help you create) a plethora of quality signature cocktails and we relied on his expertise on picking our wine selection. He even went way out of his way to surprise the bride and bridesmaids with a favorite cocktail of theirs in the bridal suite. All in all, we can’t say enough good things about our experience with Yampa Valley Shakers! They were professional, experienced, accommodating, and fun! -James & Courtney“

“Everything here is delicious and the staff can’t be beat. If you haven’t eaten here, you’re missing out! The most unique food experience you’ll have in Steamboat.“

“Excellent place if you are looking for a delicious craft beer. Added mixed drinks over the years, slows service, but certainly increased options. Staff is friendly, lots of a variety or seating available. Can get busy on typical nights, so be prepared to jostle up to the bar. Always a great stop!“

“We were so happy with the service, atmosphere, and especially the food! Very very good. Highly recommend. 👏😁“

“This holiday inn is right at the base of the mountain and can’t beat the location or views. We’ve brought our boys up for five years straight over Memorial Day solely for their indoor/outdoor pool. It is an older location and needing some renovations but they are trying to keep up with it and any complaints you might have the staff are quick to your needs, friendly and go the extra mile every time we’ve had the pleasure of visiting. Great for any family on a budget. The restaurant on site has great food and service as well and we had the pleasure of seeing a baby moose on our last visit!“

“Snow Bowl was CRANKING tonight and the waitress taking orders from the lanes was absolutely killing it on her own. She was working so hard and so were the rest of the staff. Thanks Snow Bowl you are the best!“

“Four of us went for happy hour 4-5:30 and took advantage of getting to try 5 different Tapas since they were 1/2 off (still pricey for such small bites) but delicious (except for the octopus...over charred and very chewy). The specialty drinks are 30 percent off and I highly recommend the Tipsy Carrot (you will never guess this spicy marg had fresh pressed carrot juice). My favorite dish was the Cubano entree...massive sandwich with great flavor. Our server was very nice considering how busy we kept her. The place had a great vibe, much larger inside than expected and great music. I wish they had a few healthier options to add to a lot of fried choices but I'd definitely go again and again (too bad I live several states away).“

“delicious!!! fabulous margs!“

“My veggie sandwich was dope!!!“

“Great menu! Cassidy Wollenburg is the best 😉“

“Was an unusually warm day in Steamboat, sat on the deck. I got the grilled cheese and tomato basil soup, the guys got jerk chicken, the chicken sandwich, and burger, everything was delicious and perfect for the day. $2 beers at Happy Hour. 👍🏼 The deck is right on the ski slope, was nice watching the skiers come down the hill.“
