20 Best Bars in Vail

“Stopped in for a pre-dinner drink. The bar is beautifully decorated, and my cocktail was great. It was completely empty when I visited, though it was during the off-season. The bartender was friendly and chatted with me throughout my visit, which made it enjoyable as a solo traveler. A nice spot for a quiet drink.“

“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.“

“A few places I’ve dined at in the area have nice atmosphere and just middle of the road food. Bart & Yeti’s is not one of those - spectacular food here! I had the best Caesar Chicken Wrap ever. The Pprk Green Chile was incredible, even the house salad that we also ordered was wonderful. Was not expecting to write these kind of statements about the food we ordered but we were blown away with how good it was. Service was impeccable as well … everyone was attentive and it was just a great experience. Was not expecting such a great meal, it definitely caught us off guard. Will definitely go again us our schedule allows.“

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

“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.“

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

“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“

“Went with Friends. Great food.“

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

“This is a must stop when in Vail. The cocktails are the best. Such a creative and amazing concept. Wonderful vibe and atmosphere. Met both owners Wade and Mike and they are truly passionate and talented people. We will be back and strongly recommend anyone in Vail stopping by to say hello and try one of their magical creations.“

“The Fitz is a busy patio whenever there are shows at the Amp and this was the case on this night we went. They should have a better system worked out for the bar. We waited for over 10 to 15 minutes for our drinks. The waitress was super busy. Maybe have some more help on hand on busy nights?“

“Our server Amanda was amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed all the staff and the food was delicious as well! Thanks for a wonderful experience!!! Pinot noir, Cajun shrimp, and wedge salad were 10/10!!! Highly recommend eating on the patio to enjoy river views and patio heaters!“

“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“

“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!“

“Great night out in Dollar!“

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

“I've been skiing in Vail for awhile. If you don't ski, take the Gondola up and have a meal here. The views are amazing. While I understand everything is more expensive due to the logistics of getting it up the mountain, the prices here are even high for the mountain. That aside, great service and very good food plus the views make it a must visit.“

“Was a little tired from skiing all day and needed a little caffeine boost to prepare for the evening ahead. The place was a little busy but the wait was not bad at all. I enjoyed an Iced Nutty Irishman. I asked them to dial back the syrup and it was great. The coffee they use is great and a little less flavoring helped the coffee flavor pop. Service was excellent. There was a guy working the counter alone and he did a great job of tending to everyone’s needs. I did not have food there but a couple customers were returning because they enjoyed the food the day before. They also serve beer in addition to coffee and other drinks. Inside seating is available with tables and a small bar area. There is also a really nice outdoor sitting area where you can do some people watching.“
