18 Best Bars in Vail

“Hands down the best cocktail bar/ lounge we have ever been to. The service is warm and friendly. John the bartender from Tampa is amazing! He makes the best cocktails! Highly re moment stopping in and having a drink at the bar to chat with John and watch him work his magic!“

“We stayed at the sonnenalp for a week and had the best experience visiting the King’s Club everyday. The drinks were amazing and everyday we received incredible service, especially from Virag who was extremely attentive and made us feel very welcome. We love it here and cant wait to come back!“

“Love this place. Fav bar in vail“

“Steven Teaver the owner was awesome! He opened up a little early to allow us Oregonians to check out Bad Kitty Lounge! Made us feel like long time friends! The suspended mirrored ski boot was a spectacular touch. Were there 08/23/21. Going through some of our Colorado vacation pics and had to comment on this place.“

“Outstanding service from the time we arrived and awesome selection of fine foods and wines. Loved every minute of it!“

“Loved this spot over a couple days while we’re in town. Fabulous service and great drinks at a decent price.

Found it shortly after checking into Lift House with our pups after a ~2.5 hour drive from Denver and just wanted a quick drink in a casual spot. We were delighted to see this pub basically right down stairs, especially since we didn’t want to stray far while our dogs got settled. Immediately loved the atmosphere! Definitely try their Sangria… it’s not too sweet or too bitter or too fruity. Old Fashioned was just OK.“

“The bbq pizza was the best pizza I have ever had. The waiter was a little under par. He just wasn't as attentive to us as he was others. We ordered 2 beers he only brought one. And when we said we wanted 2. He had a attitude. But then apologized right before he brought the bill.“

“I was pretty disappointed this season with the limited options this time. The food is served apparently only some days.. then there's no wait staff I guess anymore, and as much as this place suppose to be bumpin' for any apres ski time they decide to close at 4pm or so.. blew my mind.. absolutely the most prime real estate .. the way its ran I guarantee they're hitting less than 50% of its potential revenue! [It's a very obvious observation] no entertainment just self order line. Please be better.. make Vail resorts $$ so ppl don't need to pay $300 day for skiing“

“We visited pre-ski season and the atmosphere was perfect. No large crowds and the service was wonderful.“

“Went with Friends. Great food.“

“The Archetype is a must!! Out of this world spirits and cocktails. There is literally no end to the number of combinations that these bartenders can not only create, but make delicious. Listening to Michael explain the science behind the way he distills is fascinating, and not only that, the spirits are so high quality, the next morning is not a problem :-) Would HIGHLY recommend stopping in, bringing some home and/or ordering a bottle or three for delivery, they are that good! Also the truffle popcorn is soooo delicious. Thank you for a great experience. Cheers!“

“Great experience!!! From the food, service and ambience A++++“

“Salvatore is the mixologist at Cucina at The Lodge at Vail and his creations are amazing!! This is his take on a Espresso Martini. The rose color is a rose petal sugar he makes in house. The roses are sourced from India. Amazing! Delicious!! #Espresso Martini, #Mixologist“

“Highly recommend Chasing Rabbits when in Vail. Very hip place with creative cuisine and a great wine program. I had Rabbit Bolognese and it was outstanding. Our server was excellent. Can't wait to go back!“

“Make a reservation even as you are walking up on open table. W/o the reservation they will direct you to the bar or there may be a wait. We grabbed a reservation while at the host stand, only table available was near the kitchen and then an outside for two opened and we were moved. Great service and appreciate their focus on conserving water during the drought.“

“The food was superb, and the service is kind. I do have to say that their water is some of the most refreshing I’ve ever had (unsure of what or where it comes from lol). Unfortunately, I do live out of state. However anytime I visit Vail, CO this is an absolute stop to grab a bite for me.“

“Our Tampa Bay Ski Club has been having our group dinner there for years. Always excellent food and service!“

“Best Hickory Burger Ever!!! We were in town for a wedding & stopped in for a quick bite. The staff was super friendly & made us feel right at home! Can’t wait to fly back for another burger!“
